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.

Just a few days ago there was a meme of her going around. Guess some asshole saw it.

Your title leaves out the part about her being swatted. Who knows what the scammer told the police.

[–] Crozekiel@lemmy.zip 12 points 5 months ago (2 children)

The news story linked said that the scammer told the police she was shot and killed.

Very good use of the US taxpayers' money.

/s if not obvious

This keeps the military spending going. You sell last years models to the cops and you can use taxpayer money to buy new toys while people starve

Shit cops with shit people calling them in, while granny tries to raise money for medical treatment for her grandson... Your shit country is working as designed.

Info about Grandma Crackers’ fundraisers for her grandson’s cancer treatment and Phoenix Children’s Hospital.

https://thegrandmafund.com/

They also created a crypto token where the fees go to the previously mentioned fundraisers.

I really hope, they find out who swated her and jail them.

[–] atrielienz@lemmy.world 18 points 5 months ago (12 children)

Just curious about why she was raided. What did the warrant say?

You ever watch Police academy? You remember Tackleberry? That's basically the United States police.

Does the video mention if she met her donation goal? After all the bullshit, I hope she destroyed it.

what do you even have to say on the phone for them to send 20 cars bro

[–] Dvixen@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Props to Grannycrackers for handling the aftermath with such grace and humour. Not sure I would be half as composed as her. (Or half as chuffed at getting to ride in a police car.) Hope she smashes her fundraising target.

Looking forwards to the news of the arrest of the no-lifer who swatted her.
