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.

What free healthcare because it sounds like I've been fucking doing it wrong this whole time holding down job after SHITTY job since I graduated high school and don't have shit to show for it. Fuck all the way off attacking the one thing that brings joy to my life you disingenuous piece of shit.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 6 hours ago

or pretending that conversion therapy cured them, and addicted to possibly porn.

[–] dis_honestfamiliar@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 10 hours ago

He must be thinking we get the same healthcare they do. That's how far removed they are.

What we can? How? I've been eating ramen and hemorrhaging savings paying for cobra

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 10 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

Well see thats your problem. Ditch cobra and join J.I JOOOOEEEEEE!!!!!

Then you can be paid under minimum wage to risk your life fighting in unjust wars, only to find your government abandons you and any help you were promised for injuries or complications to your daily lifestyle as a result of your time in the service.

See? 'MURICA!

I thought they were breaking into your basement to tell you they won’t watch your kid and you still have to buy them health insurance

[–] flop_leash_973@lemmy.world 15 points 11 hours ago

What about all of those congress critters that get that big bad "socialized medicine" that the common people can't (funny how it is fine when it is for them isn't it.)? I bet that costs a shit ton given the average age of congress critters. How about we make some cuts there?

[–] modernangel@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 hours ago

Newsmedia that repeat blatantly pro-fash talking points as headline grist, are complicit

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 17 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Does getting health care mean leaving your basement?

If so, young men aren’t doing it.

Hell, I leave my basement frequently and don’t want to get health care because I’m sure it will bankrupt me.

If someone callled me an ambulance I’d fight them because I don’t have ambulance money.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 3 points 7 hours ago

Can confirm. I dont leave my basement or get healthcare.

[–] MyOpinion@lemmy.today 11 points 11 hours ago

No that is what billionaires do mooch off the tax payer.

Is this a reference to something in particular or just picking a random shitty disease?

Just in case you forgot, getting rid of video games is part of Project 2025. Republicans have had a vendetta against them since Mortal Kombat came out in the arcades back in the 90s. And in some ways they have been against them since their very inception with Pong and Tetris.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 2 points 7 hours ago

Sounds about right.

Project 2025: Fuck literally everything good in this world. Work to death and be forced to praise Jesus.

Because they encourage creativity and independent thought.

I'll note that they loved the propaganda and mental training that America's Army provided.

As an Aussie who has always enjoyed playing (and making) games, I've had free healthcare all my life and have only worked my arse off.. Like most people I know.

[–] ms_lane@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

*Used to get free healthcare.

Dunno how it is where you are, but bulk billing GPs just don't exist anymore in SA.

[–] Drbreen@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 hours ago

It's getting harder but they are there. But hey, if I break my leg and go to ER at a public hospital, even though I have to wait a shit load of hours, I won't pay anything when I walk out.

[–] rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world 12 points 11 hours ago

Is this the one who gets his son to monitor whether he's masturbating or not? Or is that some other guy?

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 1 points 6 hours ago

Wait, you can eat heath care?

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 5 points 11 hours ago

Through what fucking program? Magic?

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 5 points 11 hours ago

Meanwhile the unemployment rate continues to be troublingly low, begging the question, "If not for immigration, who's going to fill the new fancy All-American manufacturing industries?"

[–] ABetterTomorrow@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 hours ago

Congress need to fix big and large companies from firing people in masses every quarter and not hire people.

[–] maxwells_daemon@lemmy.world 5 points 11 hours ago

As a young man, I'm just waiting for the AGI breakthrough, so it either fixes the fucking government, or wipes us out. Win-win.

[–] Salamanderwizard@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

Mike, just cause you're a shit parent who can't talk to his kid, doesn't mean you gotta make the rest of us suffer.

[–] flandish@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

Cool. Until there is no more profit and no more billionaires, there should be no labor and free healthcare.
