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'm pretty sure the mass shootings are just emulation of the mass violence the ultrarich inflict on everyone on a daily basis.

I hope the shooter's name is Mario Brother

The CEO killing was nothing more than a correction of the Free Market. His denial policies went to far, and the market corrected the problem. In addition, his company, and other health companies as well, loosened up their denial policies as a result of the killing, almost certainly avoiding deaths. THAT is the very definition of a Free Market correction.

This is another one. MAGA policies have gone too far, and are promising to go further, despite outrage from the majority of the citizens. Now one of those citizens has attempted to reduce some of the most vicious, treasonous, and influential rhetoric by removing the source. It's another Free Market correction.

The Free Market is the Conservative religion, you would think they'd be cheering at evidence that it is working.

so the cheap access to assault weapons that NO ONE FUCKING NEEDS is not a factor? Also, the lack of mental health care? Yeah... right....

I played a lot of Pac-Man and now I'm munching for pills in dark rooms while listening to repetitive music. It's true, I love techno parties. Joke, I barily ever played Pac-Man.

I also played a lot of age of empires. Now I annoy everyone with "whololoooo" all the time. Joke, no I don't.

Tap for spoilerWhololooooo

It probably has nothing to do with widely available guns.

Here in NL we don't have that, but we do have loads of mass shootings. Oh wait, no we don't. But we don't have violent video games. Oh wait, yes we do.

Tap for spoilerWhololooooo

It actually galvanized people against the movement and made a younger generation more politically aware, including many probably seeing (voluntarily even) their first testimony to congress as they flipped over from MTV to CSPAN to watch some of their favorite rockers.

So yeah good call GOP

They are really in the shitter with ideas, they have a lot of levers right now, but they are truly staggering under their own weight. Their coalition isn't going to last forever.

He outed himself as an ignorant fool.

He's been doing that his entire life.

[–] readyno@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Hey, that's an insult to ignorant fools

[–] Xed@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 day ago

This man is an absolute moron, him saying this is no different from the uneducated garbage he’s been spewing

Jack Thompson

For those who don't remember this guy, he was pretty obnoxious.

His Brain worm is right. I remember when Pong first came out, and I'd get so pissed off when playing it, that I wanted to kill somebody.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Even if you've never heard of video games, you can tell this is total bullshit by the fact that RFK jr is saying it.

What did they tell him about how his father and uncle died?

Probably the truth, just like they told him the truth about vaccines.

I thought they figured out a long time ago that it was actually the ADHD medicine causing it
