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 work with windows and those forums don't do shit

I've gotten to the point that every time I'm directed to Microsoft Help I automatically downvote whatever the MS rep posts, because it will never not be garbage

They just keep saying shit like "what version are you on?" Motherfucker, the latest, and honestly, we know there isn't a version where you fixed this problem thousands have been trying to solve for months and in a lot of cases years.

Idk how accurate this is, my boss had mentioned it, but apparently they've outsourced that shit to a third party, and they just keep opening tickets and solving them and keep asking you simple shit so they can bill per ticket solved. It's a godamn mess. I'm just hoping Linux catches on enough to enter the corporate world at the user level.

We're at a point where when something breaks, usually a Linux update fixes it, and it's windows equivalent just keeps further breaking itself.

From what I've heard at work and from others, MS uses version queries to stall tickets because they constantly release updates that they can point to and say "you need to update before we can help".

It's probably a good mix of both. Either way, I hope it tanks. It's getting ridiculous

I downloaded an extension that blocks sites I want just to block that garbage of a site
