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'm willing to make a deal. You help me get citizenship and I'll get you another signature.

P.S. I don't do anal.

No deal.

Help me get citizenship and I'll get you another signature, plus the anal this fella doesn't do.

I can’t sign it more than once ☹️☹️☹️

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

I already signed last year. I sent it around all my friends here in Europe and they too signed. And then they sent it around their friends... I really don't know what else to do.

Done it and reshared a lot back when the campaign started. Can't believe the "gamerzzz" are so freaking lazy to reach the needed goal. The campaign makes it such an easy step be step process...

The issue is that a lot of people are not hearing about the campaign as Ross has contacted quite a few YouTubers who have unfortunately mostly ignored his letters when they could’ve made a massive difference in exposure. Shame on them for not seeing the bigger picture :/

The campaign definitely deserves way more attention with how good the posters are for it.

Thanked and loved :D

Still needs almost 600k signatures 😭

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 5 points 4 weeks ago

I hope it reaches the finish line. I have many old games in my catalogue, and would like my future games to still exist some 20 years from now.

How many countries need to reach 100% for this?

[–] treasure@feddit.org 10 points 1 month ago

Seven countries need to reach the threshold and 1.000.000 signatures are required in total. The seven countries goal has already been reached, so right now only signatures are needed, regardless of the countries they are coming from.

[–] DamienGramatacus@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago

I would but my stoopid country voted to leave the EU.

[–] lapislazuli@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 month ago

I'm signing as hard as I can!

[–] Blisterexe@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago

Citizen, but i don't quite reach the requirements :/
