Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

Donald Trump's White House has launched Arcade.Gov, a site with mini-games where you catch and deport immigrants, or use Tetris blocks to build a border wall.

I know that this is potentially a spicy thing to post to this community, but I do think it is relevant to games and gaming. They are advertising it with using likenesses of major gaming brands.

This is something straight out of a parody movie, and even then, it would sound absurd.

What the heck is even going on in the US right now.

[–] Insekticus@aussie.zone 36 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

America is a fucking joke.

Those dumb cunts elected a clown whose destroyed the global world order as we know it, for the worse.

I hope they're proud that their leader not only rapes children and steals billions for himself, his family, and his friends, but have forsaken any ideals of saving this planet from the oncoming climate apocalypse that's bearing down on us.

As a white european, D**** to America.

Posting from aussie.zone? Ok, world traveler maybe, more power to ya, though a little concerning that being white seems to be noteworthy to you.

Gotta remind you that the US is a very large country, much bigger (in terms of population and infrastructure) than than even Australia. I agree the American experiment has failed, as this fascist takeover has played out slowly over something like 40 years with the goddamn neoliberals helping to pave the way. It's been supported by a vocal minority; the majority (including where I live in a 'swing state') are against it, but apparently even that's not enough to do anything of consequence. So yeah we're fucked. Push your countrymen as far from this toxicity as possible. That includes putting heavy restraints on capitalism. Please.

Also you don't have to censor the word death FYI

Yeah, I chose an instance on another continent to help with online anonymity.

For the number of times my comments get deleted by sook mods for stating that the world needed a violent revolution decades ago, it seems necessary on this platform now. It's not much better than Reddit.

P.s., the point of being white european being noteworthy is so that American users stumbling past my comment realise its other whites that want America do be destroyed, it's not just Iranian farmers.

Those aren't the Americans on Lemmy and Piefed.

Alles gut.

First point, well I hope it helps. I spend a lot of time thinking about OpSec and even I feel pretty screwed.

Second point... well that just sucks. For me the whole point of being here is to do better than reddit. I still think it's a lot more niche but sometimes that just means the sticks up the asses are different.

For your Postscript, I understand but to be blunt I don't think the audience who needs that is here at all. But maybe I'm just cynical and think the people who want skin color to matter are a total lost cause. 🤷

[–] Insekticus@aussie.zone 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

In this coming dystopia of online surveillance and rogue AIs hacking into systems at speeds being deemed a national security threat globally, any bit of obscurity helps.

You're right, skin color shouldn't matter, and the people who do think that are no better than tribalist savages. But if I can convince even one user reading past my comments to realise that this global polycrisis goes beyond race and religion and is a matter of class war with human extinction on the line, then I consider myself to have tried to help in my own small individual way.

[–] Deconceptualist@leminal.space 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Can't argue with that. Preach on, brother.

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 0 points 22 hours ago

He's not saying skin color matters. It's just that most people would associate that phrase with Muslims, or middle east. It's not racism, it's just how it is. He was just riffing on that.

This dumb cunt voted for Harris.

Edit: What I meant was I and many other Americans did not vote for, endorse, or support Trump.

[–] Waffelmeister@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Of course you vote for the viable non fascist candidate. What else to do, if you do not intend to be a fascist enabler?

[–] daggermoon@piefed.world 3 points 1 day ago

I always vote for the most left-leaning viable candidate. There isn't much else we can do.

[–] Insekticus@aussie.zone -4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You sound like a complete piece of shit. I hope you have the day you deserve asshole.

[–] daggermoon@piefed.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

What? I think you misunderstood. I meant I voted for Harris and I don't like being lumped in with Trump supporters because of my nationality. What did you think I meant?

Edit: I was upset because it sounded to me like you called all Americans dumb cunts.

[–] fyzzlefry@retrolemmy.com 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

And we're going to keep fighting each other over what the best solution is, and nothing will change. Its frustrating living in.

Judean peoples front....

[–] Deconceptualist@leminal.space 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Judean peoples front

It's the People's Front of Judea!

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Democracy kinda assumes people can tell the difference between dark chocolate and literal shit.

[–] Murse@slrpnk.net 16 points 1 day ago

You could slap that same comment on nearly any article about Trump since his entry into politics. We live in a fucking circus.
