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.

we should go easy on soulja boy, he probably just needs to get money to pay his sexual assault settlement https://apnews.com/article/soulja-boy-verdict-trial-49900aea50a965d457890db8c19702e8

And yet, not surprising...

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 43 points 1 week ago

He's not even rebranding them...

He just charges more than orders one and passes on the shipping info.

Like, he could have at least bought some up front and threw a sticker on there

while its hilarious that he is trying this again, that website not only popped a text box that opened my keyboard automatically and then did another pop up after that.

gross. I'm getting sick of it.

[–] Agent_Karyo@piefed.world 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Apologies, I don't get any of this with Firefox for Android + UBO. It's just a regular site.

[–] Nima@leminal.space 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

maybe its that voyager is opening the link in its own browser? perhaps I need to tinker with settings.

thank you <3

[–] Agent_Karyo@piefed.world 8 points 1 week ago

I am using the Piefed mobile web view (Voyager also sends me to Firefox for Android).

I don't have any exotic lists in UBO. Just the major ones for English and some regional ones for languages that I speak.

what a weird business for a pop star to get into. kinda sounds like a buddy of his went to him with a fire business plan and let him run with it.

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

He was bred for war, but maybe he just likes to play retro games.

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

I mean, drop shipping does feel like it could be easily profitable for someone with clout and a following to peddle his upcharged wares to. At least he's doing better than last time when he was immediately shut down because the product was illegal (included roms), or when he bought an atari nft that he thought meant he owned atari. I really want to know how much he paid for that nft that he thought he owned the entire company

If you look at the picture from Soulja Boy's site, it's clearly just the Retroid image run through an AI Image-to-image filter to make sure it's not exactly the same. The buttons have random symbols on them, some of them seem to bend, the D-pad is misshapen and from a distance, the whole thing just looks like a slightly less detailed copy of the original Retroid image.

Also, the price is back up to $436.

The biggest crime is that he's calling them the SouljaGame and not the SouljaBoy

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

Soulja Boy I tell em, I got the new scam called the Soulja Boy (Oof!)
