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

sometimes it feels like the world is kinda moving off consoles for being too restrictive. and I wonder if there will be a future where these two companies just keep making consoles to fight each other while not selling any.

just two giant, hot black chunks of plastic locked in an eternal battle of corporate obliviousness for all eternity.

edit: this comment was meant as a funny and not a serious.

The PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 are both ridiculously successful.

Nothing funnier than a statement with no basis in reality, I guess?

The joke didn’t work, move on. It’s not like they insulted anyone.

you don't have to take every single thing a person says as gospel, man. this isn't reddit. we can just have a conversation without everything being an argument.

While it might not feel like anyone cares about consoles, they are still selling a lot of them.

I just wonder what customer satisfaction is. You can get a fool to waste their money only so many times. Buyers Remorse was the PS4 for me.
