Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.
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.

As a fellow Aussie, just be aware that importing goods from overseas does make you liable to pay for GST on them at the border.
As a nation, we love a punt - and I’ve taken that gamble multiple times without issue bringing in tech in my luggage - but just be mindful of that fact.
Pretty sure Nintendo is specifically trying to prevent you from being able to pay less like this.
I'm pretty sure Nintendo specifically tries any way possible to prevent their customers to pay less in any way.
I don't see why not, if you really want it. You seem to understand drawbacks well enough. Shoot, if you get a switch you can play on the flight home!
How do regional returns work for warranty?
I think it will greatly depend on: 1. What device it is and who the manufacturer is 2. The country where it came from 3. The country it is currently in
Those 3 things will play a big role in how this all plays out.
A company like Valve may not behave like Nintendo would for a warranty claim like this. The European Union may have strict laws that protect customers regardless where the device was bought, if it’s there and it’s sold there, it’s treated like it was bought there (not saying that is how it is or Valve is better than Nintendo for these; just possibilities).
