Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.
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.

"not valid charities" and are instead "political groups."
Only the Insane Christian right fanatics would call Planned Parenthood a political group!
Insane is the new normal in right wing America.
Starting to sympathize with the employee who made the death threats
Which is why I'm calling them the rabid right from now on.
Devs may as well bite the bullet & switch engines mid development now, because I'm not buying any new games made in Unity.
Gotta love how they really tried to check every argument against the engine.
Financially, trustwise, politically. Next would be sexual harassment in the office then.
It is virtually certain that there is sexual harassment going on.
"Planned Parenthood is political" = "I own women's bodies"
Great, what else then? Child labour?
Hey, those Asian kids learn C# before they even learn to speak, they don’t fuck around.
Unity: Hold my beer.
Obligatory plug for Godot if you want a FOSS game engine
I'm excited for the push this is gonna give Godot. Wouldn't mind it becoming the mainstream engine.
There's also O3DE, though I don't know what kind of state it's in.
Some alternatives to Unity with:
And Unreal, of course, if you trust big corps.
MonoGame is pretty good too, if you're feeling ambitious and really like working in low level code.
Unity really just keeps stepping on rakes right now huh? Can't wait to see how they manage to make this situation even worse before it's over.
Unity being run by those mental Christian Fundamentalist Americans now?
I've got to say, seeing all these big companies with shit management making shit decisions this year has been great.
Unity simply cannot stop shooting themselves in the foot, can they? Bless their hearts. (I'm a Southerner.)
I've heard people correct this as "Unity didn't shoot themselves in the foot, they shot themselves in the chest."
And I agree, they didn't just fuck up and get badly hurt. They're dead. On life support if they're lucky.
Nobody sane will trust this company with their work now.
Agreed on all counts.
I don't care what anyone else says, I think they are a standup company, in their own way. (also a southerner)
Unity? Or Planned Parenthood?
Unity of course, planned parenthood actually does decent work.
Who is Unity to decide what a charity is? National governments already categorize them.
Unity the Right something something
