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.

Why didn't I look harder? I've been wanting to try the game and only have my tablet. Thank you for bringing this to my attention, I'm going to see if I'm able to utilize it in my situation

I look forward to the economics research paper that this will cause:

"A study of the effects of 'Balatro' on GDP"

The music to this game is ingrained into my head

[–] Virkkunen@fedia.io 7 points 9 months ago

Playing this game on my Deck I was always thinking "I should be able to play this on my phone as well".

I will buy it, I will play it, I will enjoy it, and I will severely hope to never have thoughts like that again

Hope they support Portrait mode for the perfect commuter time killer

Fuck yeah bro. I'm about to break my social media addiction with an even more powerful addiction

[–] caut_R@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Is it known if there is going to be a way to share progression between devices?

[–] hexabs@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

I first read that as 'between divorces?' and my mind went, yeah that's a valid concern keeping a marriage afloat with this addiction.

Really wanted this on my iPad but got it on the switch instead.

If they realize they can sell individual jokers, etc...at $.99 a pop as DLC, the developer is about to be a billionaire and create so many new sick people in the world.

[–] Agret@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Can you sell DLC on Apple Arcade? On the Google Play Pass games all the dlc is included.
