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 used to say PC + Nintendo, but Switch 2 looks like enshittification caught up with Nintendo.

So just PC now.

Steam Deck ftw

I can play my steam games I bought over a decade ago on any hardware. Its awesome. I just got hadies 2 as well and it works flawlessly on the SD.

And that's just steam. I just don't see buying an Xbox/PSehatever/switch5000. Most games come out for everything now. Who cares?

I still have stuff as far back as DOS and Win9x titles on my shelves. Sure I have to use virtual machines and emulators these days since I'm not willing to buy or hold onto old hardware but I'm still able to do this on modern PC which is the main point: freedom.

I only care about exclusives anymore which is an artificial value yep.

There are some exceptions like PS2 was my DVD movje player and PS3 was Bluray movie player and what I used Universal Media Server with back then streaming from my PC. Not just the games, but there were games too. Plus weird stuff on PSN like Trash Panic or Tokyo Jungle.

Also I refuse to pay for online play and I stuck to it.

I would have disagreed a month ago but Sonic Racing has removed my biggest reason to consider getting a Switch 2. PC really has it all. Blessed.
