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

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.

Played adventure games and fighting games growing up. Never in my entire forty-something years have I even thrown a punch at anyone.
Japan LOVES video games, you don't see them being brought up for the reason they have sooo maaany murders. Oh wait...
(Now I play MMOs and I never cast a spell at anyone either, in case y'all wondering...)
World War 2? Nanking? Unit 451. They were plenty messed up.
So you are saying videogames fixed them?
They also gave us anime. I wonder what effect that has had on the world. Nyaaa~!
I played tons of first person shooters, GTA, etc, and I also have never thrown a punch at anyone.
I've punched multiple people, but I know I punched people before I ever had a game console or computer.
Hey fuck you....I know video games didn't cause shit...it seems like I ate that part of his dumbass brain.
Well, if you take away video games we'll have to find entertainment somewhere
If its a stupid idea. RFK jr. has had it.
The single biggest factor for American military hegemony in Grenada was Pac-Man.
Christ, man. It’s either “god had a plan” or “captain price from mw2 indirectly shot the suspect, your honor”
I thought they figured out a long time ago that it was actually the ADHD medicine causing it
Yeah sure its not idiots like this calling democrats child rapists thats doing it
Ask Jack Thompson how that line of reasoning worked out for him
Jfc, this again?
RFK Jr. is the epitome of The Weekly World News.
Yeah. When all y'all are talking about how we need government intervention and legislature to get you what you want?
THIS is why some of us are very wary of that and don't think "We are just idea people. Other people can make it a law" is at all a good idea.
His office leaked his plans to link video games to behavioral issues earlier this week, so he already had the press release ready, he just swapped some words around.
Wolfenstein was pretty good, ngl
Is the shooter a person of color? Seriously, ask yourself that. Likely that is the citing factor for someone coming up with fucking bullshit like this. When the shooter is white, the defenders of gun rights will point to mental health. The point I am making is that POC will be a used as a scapegoat to upturn causes in society for their actions while a white person is largely upheld by gun rights advocates as a sign of failure to address mental health.
I blame faulty condoms for RFK Jr
If I don't pass that ant zone on silksong I'm going to shoot something.
