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.

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving company!

Honestly I doubt the PIF is going to micro manage EA to the point that employees feel it on the day to day. Usually they just sit in the board and contribute in high level management decisions like mergers, acquisitions and mass layoffs. Doesn't mean there's no changes, but it's not a "Saudi company" now either.

I like the implication that EA's old ownership wasn't at odds with progressive society

[–] kaitco@lemmy.world 22 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Yes, but at least the old boss cared more about money and shareholder value than political statements…

[–] Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

What political statements have the Saudi's made? I'm curious cause they are also focusing on esports washing, so I wanna know what to expect with upcoming esports worldcup.

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

Remember that Jamal fellow?

[–] Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 hours ago

That does not answer my question whatsoever.

[–] tiny_hedgehog@piefed.social 31 points 18 hours ago

Ah yes. Much better to stay owned in America, where progressive society is… looks around hang on.

“Say hello to the new boss, same as the old boss.”

Should grow fruits and vegs

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 9 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Shouldn't dismember a journalist?

[–] MaggiWuerze@feddit.org 5 points 13 hours ago

At least not throw the parts around I guess

...should really get new houses since the solar radiation will quickly give you cancer, it robs you of your privacy, and it is very fragile and expensive to replace?

Doesn't really roll off the tongue well, though..

[–] some_designer_dude@lemmy.world 0 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I believe glass stops the harmful radiation? You can’t get a sunburn through glass. Truckers would all be pretty cancerous.

[–] EtherTide@aussie.zone 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

truckers often have sun cancer on the arm closest to the window/door iirc

[–] some_designer_dude@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Side windows are the bigger issue: ordinary tempered side glass can transmit a meaningful amount of UVA.

Windshields are apparently better than side windows 😲 MY ARMS!

No no, Islam is progressive you guys.

[–] LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyz 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)
[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works -2 points 5 hours ago

What do you mean? Women being forced to wear burkas is totally progressive man, get with the times. You're supposed to hate Jews.

[–] Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Do you also talk about Judaism under every tech post considering most of the big tech is in Tel Aviv now?

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 0 points 6 hours ago

I don't like Israeli, next question
