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.

Never too late to get into Minecraft :-) I personally would recommend looking into Java Edition after you got your bearings and know what you are doing. There are awesome mod packs available - I started playing Minecraft decades ago, and about once a year i get the cravings for trying out a current modpack to see what people have been up to.

I just have to be "that guy" but Minecraft didn't release a playable build until 2009, so that's only 17 years. Not "decades."

"only" 17... I remember buying it after playing the alpha in my browser, seemed longer than 17 years

Do you miss the simplicity of it back then?

I think I started playing it either in 2011 or 12

I recently replayed and beat it as I’d never killed the ender dragon before. I feel it’s too clunky with all the additions for my tastes, like pre-enchantment tables is my preference

Oh no, i am an absolute modpack fan - the more stuff and mechanics i can explore, the better.

I know it's semantics and doesn't really matter, but it just bugs the hell out of me when people use hyperbole like that.
