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.

Another thing to add to my list of why steam is a fucking shit hole since green light went away.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Yes... Because all those games where you play as some American grunt fighting in the middle East is something totally different and not comparable at all.

A small fraction compared to the indie games and puzzlers, or are you one of those just shut the whole thing down so nobody is happy kind-of people?

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

No, I'm one of those "I hate double standards" type of people.

There's always Counter Strike if you're on the side that the terrorists are the good guys

I want to see you explain how Spec Ops: The Line is the same thing as this propaganda shit piece.

I get the gist, I agree that games like America's Army shouldn't be on Steam but you can't just broad stroke all "grunt in the middle east" games as propaganda. They can end up being something totally different and not comparable at all.

I'm not sure I follow. Are you acknowledging the very fallacy you stepped into?

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

And it looks like you don't understand what the fallacy means.

[–] goodeye8@fedia.io -1 points 3 days ago

Okay dude. Come back when you've stopped being a cryptic little shit and can communicate like a normal person.
