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.

Waffle House desperately wants to distance itself from the 'fighter diner' image.

Could you imagine what that place would look like if it transitioned from the patrician’s violence venue into an everyman’s fight club? Pure anarchy.

[–] Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

I don't think waffle house cares. They just exist. They aren't hype, they aren't cool. They just are.

Possibly ignorant question from a non-American here, but why is this news exactly? Feel like there's some cultural context or something missing.

When asked what location fans wanted as a fighting stage, one very popular answer was Waffle House. Context: if you crash at WH after a long night out, you're guaranteed to witness some drunken fighting.

Man, I'd love a Waffle House stage.

A Waffle House stage would be awesome but tbh I'd much rather just eat some WH

It's a place that stays up late after the bars close and there's a point during the night where much of the clientele is intoxicated and hungry. Fights are frequent enough to be a meme and some people think it would make a funny video game background.

Ah, so the American equivalent of a kebab shop then?

[–] CaptainBasculin@lemmy.bascul.in 8 points 3 weeks ago

This would be a collab I never expected, but definetly fit well in the game

[–] darkkite@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

it doesn't even have to be official, they could call it waffle palace instead.
