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.

This story is about the U.S. and very distinct aspects of our society (notably our healthcare system and our policing), hence the context of my comment is about the U.S.

Grandmothers in other nations would not have to live stream Minecraft to raise money for their grandchild's cancer treatment.

"Yabbut other nations" isn't going to cut it here because you absolutely 100% know that it is irrelevant to the discussion.

it's very relevant, if you actually took the time to read my first message

I'm not talking about Europe though. I am talking about the U.S.

Even in your original comment, the part about Europe was an "aside" in parenthesis, not the main part of the comment. A footnote, as it were. We aren't going to divert the conversation over a footnote when the actual article and main content of your comment outside the parenthesis pertains to the U.S.

nice that you know better what I meant than me.

Will let you know when I need your services again

This isn't about knowledge, this about staying on the subject vs trying to be pedantic and thinking that you have some sort of clever gotcha. Sorry, but that doesn't work on me.

Will let you know when I need your services again

This doesn't even make sense. I'm not offering any services.

It's time for you to take the "L" and move on. Bye!

look, maybe take of your US centric glasses and don't assume that swatting is an US-only problem. That is all what I'm saying in my first post. Not sure why you need to make it US-only again

The world outside the US exists. Shocker.

The world outside the US exists.

And this article is about the U.S. very specifically.

You lost, move on. Thanks! Any further comments will be reported as spam

Edit: couldn't resist one more comment, could you. Reported as promised, and added to my block list
