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.

If it doesn't work from Germany use a VPN

[–] McWizard@lemmy.zip 2 points 35 minutes ago

Thank you, that worked!

[–] sartalon@lemmy.world 74 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I did not give a shit about NSFW games but I fucking hate cebsorship.

Go GoG, I'm going to buy one from them now!

... for the protest of course.

[–] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemmy.zip 43 points 1 day ago

Don't forget your protest lotion!

"Some games vanish. Not because they broke the law but because someone decided they shouldn’t exist."

Fuckin' ay, man. Fuckin' ay.

I love being able to help protest by playing... (checks notes) Helping the Hotties... 😉

It sounded neat, I clicked on it and didn't click back. When I came back (some time later) I clicked back a ton and it wouldn't get back to my Lemmy app. Something off with that site. Mean I like what they're trying to say of course and free games, but clicking back should still work if you left it there. I sort of assume it had to do with some timer loading issue so it back went to the last timer tick or something. Quite a pain though.

I do like the theme and will still buy just to show support but it'd be nice if that didn't happen. May have to do with my client too shrug

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Nice, but too many tiddies and not enough dicks.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 3 points 48 minutes ago (1 children)

But... But... But... That's gaaayyy!

Hoooly shit I thought it was just one game. But hot damn they just gave all those games away for free. Just claim it once. I even thought it might be a scam cause of the url but its legit!

Awesome but I'm not really into those games. I might try one or two just to support the cause.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 hours ago

Postal 2 is on the list if nothing else. Also I remember back when I was like 5 seeing it on an old TV video game focused channel where they went over it and then Hulk ultimate destruction.

[–] hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

Hunie pop is a legit good game. Its a fun puzzler and a toungue in cheek take on the genre.

[–] TallonMetroid@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

For anyone having issues with the site, the giveaway code is freedomtobuygames which you might have better luck redeeming via Galaxy.

[–] Jimbabwe@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Treasure of Nadia is legit a good game

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hunie Pop has a surprising amount of strategy involved.

[–] okmko@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

HuniePop is one of my favorite guilty pleasures. Out spawned so many clones because it was legitimately well made.

[–] HexesofVexes@lemmy.world 44 points 1 day ago

If I can buy a game on Gog I do - their lack of DRM, Linux ports, and prices just make me happy.

[–] stinerman@midwest.social 41 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm not really interested in these games but this is pretty freaking awesome.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 49 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (4 children)

Postal 2 is actually a really good shitpost of a game. It looks like shit, it is unironically edgy and full of 14 year old levels of sexist, toilet humor. But god damn is it actually a good game. Like, a truly solid immersive sim shooter. And one of the only FPS games I know of that has guns and killing where you don't have to actually get involved and can beat the whole game as a casual observer of the chaos.

Plus you can piss on cops and make cops eat doughnuts filled with dogshit. 11/10.

Nice gesture, but keep in mind that this is the same GOG that was poised to release Devotion by RedCandleGames, only to renege on it because CCP imbeciles told them to. They are brave against censorship except when it involves actual conflict with censors. As soon as that happens, it's bootlick city.

I can't get past the captcha. Tried like 10 times

[–] el_hache@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

Maybe you're in a country where one of more games are restricted, this solved it for me

[–] drmoose@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Legit took me 20 minutes to just get this;

  • click redeem -> 5 captchas
  • click login, reset password -> 5 captchas
  • click reset password link -> 5 captchas
  • login -> 5 captchas
  • click redeem -> 5 captchas

Lmao and people say AI could ruin the web more

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

don't sleep on Hunie Pop, it's actually pretty fun.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 1 points 44 minutes ago

Isn't it basically just bejewelled but with boobs?

[–] Valorie12@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

Hunie Pop is a great game, despite being a Bejeweled clone. The mechanics make the "puzzles" a lot more fun (not just the tiddies)
