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.

That one guy at Rockstar, feeling incredibly validated right now:

[–] PhilipTheBucket@piefed.social 8 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

I feel like the designer responsible smuggled this video topic to him somehow, after not hearing from anyone who had noticed their exhaustive attention to detail

There is 0% chance that this didn't take a shitload of "unnecessary" effort, including updating the power lines every time something in the level got modified or rearranged

[–] Arcane2077@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 weeks ago

They even kept separate layouts for the online mode, which takes place a year(?) or more before the campaign. Genuinely astounding amount of effort the 99.999% won’t notice

[–] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 64 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

His videos answer the questions I've never thought to ask, but desperately want the answer to once it is brought up.

[–] BroBot9000@lemmy.world 20 points 4 weeks ago

Right! Am always excited when I see a new video from him pop up.

His music also has a very distinctive vibe to it. Definitely check his tracks out.

I watched a video last night that concluded that the story of GTA San Andreas begins on January 1st 1992 and ends roughly around late April-early May 1992. That was a banger.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 38 points 4 weeks ago

I love this guy.

[–] FlordaMan@lemmy.world 17 points 4 weeks ago

Arguably the most important question in our lifetimes

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 4 weeks ago

I want the final answer he left out, so it's finally time for me to start playing rdr2.

[–] UnfairUtan@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

Damn it stop making me discover great YouTube channels. My watch later Playlist is overflowing already

TL;DW is they connect to a power plant and they have a map-wide grid, but then it turns out that it doesn't make sense, given the historical setting

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 23 points 4 weeks ago

Additional TL;DW(but should): they also connect to EVERYTHING and how it was done is actually really impressive.

[–] LastYearsIrritant@sopuli.xyz 13 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

With the AnyAustin videos, it's the journey, not the answer.

If you just want a yes/no, this isn't the video for you.

[–] Lembot_0004@discuss.online 20 points 4 weeks ago (5 children)

All videos are not for me. I can read.

[–] Joelk111@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

Least pretentious Lemmy user.

[–] essteeyou@lemmy.world 6 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Imagine never experiencing something like The Godfather because you can read.

[–] Lembot_0004@discuss.online 2 points 4 weeks ago

I neither read that book nor watched the movie.

[–] LastYearsIrritant@sopuli.xyz 4 points 4 weeks ago

Ok. The answer is yes.

But the context is what makes it interesting.

[–] Starski@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

This is like saying I refuse to go outside because this book on nature I have is good enough, the context you get by being in the actual world helps whatever you read have more context. I'm assuming your comment was in jest, but it gave me such a gutteral reaction that I had to say something.

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 10 points 4 weeks ago

But... a video isnt real life. It'd be more like "I dont need a nature documentary because I have a book on nature".

[–] Nima@leminal.space 1 points 4 weeks ago

your eyes can't see video? did you miss a driver update or something?

[–] MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

I love seeing this guy talk about the most mundane things. It's cool to see someone look at something mundane and go "I wonder where this leads" and follow it.

[–] Muffi@programming.dev 6 points 3 weeks ago

Met this guy at Open Sauce this year. Super cool and chill dude, all his stuff is great.
