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.

"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... πŸ˜‰

suddenly buying all this weird interactive porn that I didn't realize i wanted

[–] sartalon@lemmy.world 82 points 3 days 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 47 points 3 days ago

Don't forget your protest lotion!

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 37 points 3 days ago

Fuck yeah! free porn. And Postal 2 lol.

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!

[–] brian@lemmy.ca 22 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The URL is direct to gog tho? Unless you mean you didn't recognize gog as a reputable website

[–] shrodes@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago

In fairness there is also this link which is doing the rounds too https://freedomtobuy.games/

[–] HexesofVexes@lemmy.world 45 points 3 days 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 43 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 55 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days 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.

If it doesn't work from Germany use a VPN

[–] McWizard@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago

Thank you, that worked!

[–] Prime@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 days ago

They have a list of countries where games are not legal and cannot be bought/redeemed. Two stand out with almost all games: One is China. The second is Germany. I hate this shitty conservative self-righteous government and its prude regulations.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Nice, but too many tiddies and not enough dicks.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

🎢too many tiddies🎢

[–] 58008@lemmy.world 23 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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.

Treasure of Nadia is legit a good game

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Hunie Pop has a surprising amount of strategy involved.

[–] okmko@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

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

[–] tekeous@usenet.lol 25 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Well, it ain't gonna do itself.

[–] wavebeam@lemmy.world 21 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] Valorie12@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days 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)

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Isn't it basically just bejewelled but with boobs?

[–] wavebeam@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

At the risk of sounding like I’m making excuses for wanting to see the tiddies, the storylines of the different characters is fun to navigate. But yes.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Lame.

The main reason I never played Hunniepop is because of this. Story (yes, including erotica) and gameplay need to be integrated. They both work together.

I don't want to play a glorified VN with bejewelled tacked on.

[–] wavebeam@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I hadn’t played many games like that, I liked the combo.

[–] TallonMetroid@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] Prime@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Is there a way to redeem in Galaxy? I did not see it

[–] Prime@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 days ago

Found it. It's in the cog menu, very top left

[–] Aarrodri@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (14 children)

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

[–] el_hache@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

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