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.

I mean, typical boomer shit from an ignorant boomer. I'm not surprised at all.

Played adventure games and fighting games growing up. Never in my entire forty-something years have I even thrown a punch at anyone.

Japan LOVES video games, you don't see them being brought up for the reason they have sooo maaany murders. Oh wait...

(Now I play MMOs and I never cast a spell at anyone either, in case y'all wondering...)

The single biggest factor for American military hegemony in Grenada was Pac-Man.

Remember when Mortal Kombat came out and we all started ripping each other's heads off and pulling out still beating hearts? Those were the days.

[–] desmosthenes@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

it’s guns.

God. Are we back on this loop again?!! Incidentally what is the most selling game currently?

A game about a bug with a needle? Super violent.

I'm old enough to remember "Mortal Monday" with the release of the first Mortal Kombat on consoles and everyone was CONVINCED that it would result in kids ripping the spines and hearts out of peoples bodies.

Hell I remember when the original TMNT and Power Rangers was bad because it would encourage kids to do "ninja stuff" to the point where in the UK they changed "Ninja" to "Hero" and eventually Michaelangleo wasn't allowed to use nunchucks anymore because out of ALL the weapons the turtles had, THOSE were a no-no. Sword? Sai? that's fine...even the boe! but heaven forbid a child crafted their own nuncucks!

So it's a mass shooting now? Feels like a slap in the face to every other incident

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If you're referring to the Kirk shooting, this was before that.

This man is an absolute moron, him saying this is no different from the uneducated garbage he’s been spewing

[–] normalexit@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Well, if you take away video games we'll have to find entertainment somewhere

Wolfenstein was pretty good, ngl

What did they tell him about how his father and uncle died?

Probably the truth, just like they told him the truth about vaccines.

He outed himself as an ignorant fool.

[–] readyno@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Hey, that's an insult to ignorant fools

He's been doing that his entire life.

[–] NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

Yeah. When all y'all are talking about how we need government intervention and legislature to get you what you want?

THIS is why some of us are very wary of that and don't think "We are just idea people. Other people can make it a law" is at all a good idea.

If I don't pass that ant zone on silksong I'm going to shoot something.
