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.

Aussie megatwilek side plot is also my jam. Thanks for continually reminding everyone that not everything about this hobby is complete shit. Yet.
I love bounty quests, so getting her quest to go through is fun. I might just settle in for an evening and try to get them all.
And I hear ya. There’s some bad things about the hobby for sure right now, but I’ve found as long as I approach things with a level head and try to remain optimistic I can find something to enjoy about it, even if that does sound really fucking corny.
And on the bright side if the worst were to happen I always have older games to go back too. I’m still pretty young and I know for a fact there’s tons of old stuff I have never seen before
I’d say most about this hobby is not complete shit. There are many games with live services and micro transactions, but not all of them. And even those that have them, you can usually avoid them.
Costs are certainly going up, unfortunately, but that’s not because of the hobby being shit. That’s because of the AIpocalypse (hardware) and monetary inflation (game prices).
