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.

Ok look, I hate Ubisoft, but this is sad. My condolences to his family. People being happy about this are disgusting.

Only 4 left to unlock a unique loot box.

Lol, damn. Going to hell for that.

What will you tell him when you meet him down there?

The Guillemonts are old money French aristocrats who escaped the Revolution by being out of the country. They are collectively terrible to others and are deliberately trying to tank Ubisoft so they can buy it back and take it private. All those anti consumer business moves Ubisoft males are their best ideas at making money. Hopefully the loss of the savvy one brings them back to reality but history and experience shows they won't.

source?

I'm seeing that they ran a small farming business in a small farming village: https://gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2011/12/06/ubi-uncensored.aspx

This thread, the comments, and the people who post them, would be fascinating subjects for a sociological-psychological study.

Just to make sure I'm not misunderstood: I'm calling out the people who are proverbially dancing on the victims' graves (yes, there were two fatalities). Regardless of your feelings for one or the other, you are celebrating the loss and pain of their friends and families. Frankly it's disgusting behaviour.

The hoops these folks jump through to justify cheering the death of someone is terrifying.

[–] simple@piefed.social 26 points 8 hours ago (5 children)

you don't get it mate I don't like the games ubisoft makes so making fun of someone who burned to death in a freak accident is totally justified

also his ancestors ran from the french revolution over 200 years ago. this is relevant because... uh.......

[–] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 6 hours ago

The Guillemont brothers were/are not nice people, maybe that's triggering those horrible comments like "Ah ok, anyways..."

[–] early_riser@lemmy.world 18 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (14 children)

This is why I hate Lemmy sometimes. "It's wrong to wish people dead, except for 'them'. 'They' are fare game." It's the same BS we've been doing for the whole history of our miserable species.

[–] scutiger@lemmy.world 27 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Meh, I don't wish death on anyone, but that doesn't mean I have to be sad that a shitty person died.

[–] Aatube@piefed.social 5 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

Nobody's criticizing people for not being sad. There's a word for this, "gloating".

[–] scutiger@lemmy.world 10 points 6 hours ago (13 children)

I still think that's fine. Sometimes the world is better off when someone dies.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago

Like Hitler.

this isn't complicated

the social contract basically boils down to, you at a baseline do right by me and in return I do the same for you

assholes like this and other rich fucks try to game this system for profit by literally harming parts of our lives via loopholes

when ass fucks say lets hurt person ‘insert something that has no impact on anything’ like skin color or sexuality that is wrong

when people talk about wishing death on people that are literally fucking with our lives it should obviously not be the same

whether tanking a video game falls into that bucket is nuanced but people like the united health fuck are easily fair game

I'm sure it was because the windshield was littered with too much HUD.

I heard he was flying around looking for collectibles.
