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.

Craft Computing - Hooooo boy... The nVidia RTX 4060 has been launched to an absolute $hit storm of hellfire from hardware reviewers big and small. And the numbers they're coming up with ARE accurate, but do they tell the entire story? If everything your review is garbage now, it might be time to re-evaluate the way we review hardware.

God so many problems:

  • Conveniently side-steps the fact that FSR and DLSS aren't available in most games
  • Says you shouldn't buy anything used or last gen, even though there are such good last-gen options that will give you much better price/performance
  • Doesn't test with literally any other cards except the AMD direct competitor
  • Says reviewers hate it because it doesn't perform as well vs. top-tier cards when the problem is the performance compared to previous gen cards that cost the same or less right now.

And the most awful one: In the section about how it's nvidia's fault, he literally moves all the products up one name instead of down, to compare core counts to a GPU generation that's literally 7 years old. That's literally exactly what Nvidia is trying to do to get more people to pay more for their graphics cards. All the GPUs this generation are way more cut down compared to the last several generations(also, the 4060 and 4070 are even worse than the speculation in that graph, being 19, and 35% respectively.

Terrible take lol. solid corporate apologist here
