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 would've liked to have seen a timeline of periods as to when you played a game. Like it could be displayed in a bar like picture, that shows the time you've bought the game and every dot afterwards, details when you've played the game after that point up to the recent point of time.

The "my library" page for a game should show the game description, screenshots, etc like the store page. I downloaded this on sale 3 years ago, or it's owned by someone in my family but I've never seen it, etc. In any case, I need more info, don't assume I know this game.

My total amount of money spent, my total amount of money saved by buying on sale, and my average percent savings overall and graphed over time.

I wish Steam told you what workshop items it just updated were.

You have to manually go into the workshop and go to your list and then sort by last updated to see what just updated or was changed.

The download window 'can' but only if you highlight it 'while' its downloading. If its done, it won't tell you what mod it was.

Ridiculous when you have a game like RimWorld with 200+ mods.

An illustrated play history would be great. You can see some of it on your annual Steam Replay, so it seems they're already tracking the necessary information.
