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.

Hi everyone! You might recognize my name in here by now, but now you'll see a tiny little 'm' next to it!

Dremor (head mod here in c/Games) recently asked me if I could step into moderating here, and I have accepted.

I've done a lot of moderating on Reddit, from super-large places with 10s of millions subscribed to it (in the fields of tech and programming, gaming and so on), to extra small ones (the last I grew from nothing to 35K when I left the site), so I do know how to not only moderate, but to foster a community and help it feel fun. Though, to be totally fair...it's been a good while since I left Reddit - I'll be rusty!

And what I haven't done is moderate her on Lemmy, so I hope you'll give me a little time to not only learn the ropes...but find them first.

I'm lucky in that a lot of my good friends are developers of games, projects, programs, operating systems and apps to do with gaming (and so on), so maybe in time I'll be able to convince some to do some things here in this community (giveaways, AMAs, chats, something-like-that), but we'll see!

If you've got anything you'd like to see in c/Games, then by all means leave a comment so we can see what we can do.

That's all, I think!

Do you actually play games with your free time? Haha

[–] PerfectDark@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes!

Okay so before 2 or so months back, I worked as a pen-tester (red team), so when I wasn't breaking in to facilities, or convincing security guards that I was the CEO's daughter or a worker who forgot their pass, I was typically on my desktop. Which left me some time to spend contributing to spaces like this community on Lemmy!

Since then though I had a bit of a health hiccup, and took time off. I'm still taking time off, and while I'm being as active as I can, I'm now with quite a bit of time to spend doing things like this, or writing the odd feat. article/interview and sharing it on my friend's site - so maybe I'm lucky, in one regard?!

Right now I'm playing Red Dead on my Switch OLED, and Deus Ex Mankind Divided on my Steam Deck :)

Make sure you play the Mankind Divided DLCs after! A Criminal Past in particular is probably the best "new Deus Ex" content they ever put out.

Also, congrats on being made a mod! I literally cannot think of a better person for the role.
