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.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

How games could do collabs better (lemmy.world)

COD:BO6 was just announced and all the comments talk about how the collab skins will drop after 4 months in the game and I was thinking to myself: "You know what, I wouldn't mind a [TSwift/Spiderman/any celeb collab] if it was well implemented" For exemple, if you want to have a Spidey skin, go for the black one, or make it with a camo, don't go full blue&red with glossy finish. If you want a Swifty skin, make it "war-ready". Use dark shades, add combat equipment, camo. I know it would be hard to represent some flashy characters like that but it's up to them to ruin the game IG.

Fortnite was in a good position as it already had a specific art style that allowed such skins to appear (even tho it loosed its original idea in the process) and also they at least try (I said try) to introduce collab in a lorefitting way.

Man, these "realistic shooters" sure have changed in the decade since I last played one!

Back in my day, you'd just mod in whatever model you wanted. I remember running around in Unreal Tournament in a Bender skin, voice pack and all.
