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.

I can't wait until my lemmy client gets a filter feature. I have seen dozens and dozens of posts about this thing that I have never heard of and don't care about.

Try out sync. The filters you can customize are amazing.

I spent a lot of the good part of the past decade ignoring tech reviewer content because I hadn't been into that side of things for whatever reason at the time. This past month or so I've been binging LTT content as an entertainment source. Ironic how that works.

However, before any of this came to light and watching Linus be an absolute terror on their sets and to the hardware they work with. I've come to the conclusion that Linus' hyper ass needs to be on a leash more times than not. There's been quite a few videos where I was excited about the product they were discussing and then the video ended up going a totally different direction than I had wanted it to, or just a plain old non-content video where everything worked correctly, perfectly, right off the bat. Or they do the most janky solution to a simple problem and it sours that whole video for me. (Or series of videos for that matter.) cougheverything they've done at linus' housecough

All this said, they do seem like good hearted people and I hope they can pull their heads out of their asses and get this fixed. WE deserve it as consumers.

As terrible as it is, being a Roosterteeth fan when I was younger prepared me for this.
