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.

How the fuck are people still falling for this scam? Oh right, half of our country worships a braindead cheeto blob. edit: Damn so many trump simps in the thread. "omg everything politik" yeah welcome to fucking lemmy

[–] crawley@lemmy.world 33 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The people who are playing Star Citizen are not the same people who are voting for Trump...weird comparison to attempt.

[–] avater@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

not really. the essence is people are stupid and that's the reason behind supporting trump or throwing money at star citizen

[–] infinitepcg@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why is it stupid to enjoy Star Citizen?

[–] avater@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I wouldn't call it stupid to enjoy whatever SC has to offer, but I would call it stupid to spend more than 60 bucks on the game at this point...

[–] orrk@lemmy.world -3 points 2 years ago

it's an interesting take to defend, I would argue that the people still calling it a scam are more trump supporter like, as they are a group held together by a need to attack things they disagree with, based on some nebulous understanding of the evils it entails

Americans try not to make everything about us politics challenge (impossible)

[–] criitz@reddthat.com 2 points 2 years ago

Everything IS about US politics 😛

[–] Wodge@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

"Scam" implies that they're not delivering the product, and they are, as in you can actually go and play it. There is actually a fair bit to do. Not overly exciting non-stop heroics, but the game is trying to simulate what life in space would be like, and does a pretty good job of it so far.

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Are they delivering the product? I was a kickstarter backer, and still don't have the singleplayer campaign that was promised. How long ago was that?

[–] Wodge@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well I backed it before the kickstarter and have been playing the multiplayer on and off for a few years now.

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Pretty sure I said "singleplayer" in response to you saying "they are delivering the product". Which is false, since I can't play it.

[–] Wodge@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Well since it's single player and multiplayer, yes it's partially delivered. The kickstarter, and original crowd funding through their site, did not separate the 2 different versions, so you did, in fact, back the single player and multiplayer. It may not be the bit you wanted, but it is a part of the overall product that has been delivered.

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

I can't play Squadron 42 like promised - ergo it wasn't delivered. Stop being a fanboy when a fact is a fact. It's an absolute truth, you can't change it by weasiling around it.

[–] Summzashi@lemmy.one 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Lmao the copium. Your 400$ ship wasnt worth it.

[–] orrk@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

look, generally I don't do this but, really? that's your take? that someone spent money on a hobby? I spent more money on injection molded miniatures for DnD, what about people who go to 3-star restaurants? a package of the cheapest Walmart slop also has calories, does it not?

Unironically didn't we agree that Protestant anti-fun shit was idiotic when we drove them out to America?

[–] Summzashi@lemmy.one 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There's a lot to unpack here lol. Your first sentence says it all. Use that for future reference for everyone's sake please.

[–] orrk@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

ya, i normally don't shame people for not being able to spend money, but you really set a new low

[–] Summzashi@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

Is that what you were doing? Hahaha

[–] Wodge@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

lmao i paid $45 before the kickstarter and easily had my monies worth.
