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.

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

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 11 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 11 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.

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 11 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.

Could you give a reference? I don't doubt what you're saying, I just think it would be helpful for people to see it.

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

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 10 hours ago

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

Through what fucking program? Magic?

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 16 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 16 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 14 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.

[–] MNByChoice@midwest.social 3 points 15 hours ago

Sometimes the only way to win is not to play.

But also Johnson is stupid.

[–] flandish@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

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

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

But then aren't people who do get jobs so they can have healtcare mooching off free healthcare?

Working isn't worth doing.

[–] Ilixtze@lemmy.ml 1 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

They are finally going after the most oppressed minority!

[–] arin@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

So time to remove the free healthcare benefits from this congress member

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

Lmao.

What a joke.

[–] lockhart@lemmy.ml 1 points 14 hours ago

Yeah you don't need to buy food, only healthcare.

[–] xep@fedia.io 1 points 14 hours ago

Everyone who lives here plays video games all day and our healthcare isn't even completely free, the burden is just shared by nationalization. Video games are such a menace to society!

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 1 points 14 hours ago

Lol. I have free healthcare and I played videogames every fucking chance I get because it makes me happy, but it's pretty rare since I worked 278 hours in May.
