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

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.

Today’s game is Mario Kart 8. Today’s been a bit busy (hence the lateness). There’s been a bit of a celebratory event today I won’t get into. For the first time in a while though I didn’t have the time to sit down and pick something to play. Thankfully, I’m me. And even when I’m playing other games I still take screenshots.

Anyways. I mostly wanted to use today to thank everyone who provided me pointers and tips for 200cc the last time I played.

I would like to let you know the fruits of your labor have not gone to waste. I have even beaten my group’s reigning 200 CC champion (the gold Mario player). I even did it on Rainbow Road, which according to our Gold Mario Player is “the worst on 200cc”. Though I think he’s just been dramatic as honestly Rainbow road is easy on 200cc.

I mainly stuck to brake drifting around corners and it was easy.

200cc honestly has completely changed the game for me. 150 feels to slow and I take completely new routes now to accommodate for the added speed. It’s honestly awesome. I can’t believe I was so put off by it before.

Anyways, one last thing I was going to share is this awesome bomb throw I got. I was going to do it as a clip but I couldn’t censor my friend’s names. So here’s a screenshot. I ricocheted it off the canyon wall twice and managed to nail my friend with it.

Anyways. I just wanted to take it easy today and relax, so i went with this. Tomorrow it’s back to the currently regularly scheduled Twilight Princess.

Mk8 is still the "new" one in my head. I forgot entirely about Mk world

World is really good honestly. It's not without flaws, but it's really fun and the new techniques like wallriding, grinding etc. make for lots of cool tech in the hands of a skilled player (which I'm not).

I just hate that it's a bag and sprint game.

What does this comment even mean?

[–] Speculater@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

The only way to win is to intentionally be in last place for the first half of the race, get good items, race to the front and avoid lightning.

[–] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Ah. Thank you! I’ve never heard that term before

[–] Speculater@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Sorry it's short for sandbagging, lol.

[–] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Yeah, it made sense after you explained it. I just hadn’t heard it called what you wrote originally. I appreciate you clearing it up
