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.

Pokemon meets Minecraft now?

[–] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

That's Pokopia actually

[–] Internet@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 14 hours ago

Oh, I thought these headlines were from the past and this was roasting Pocketpair for saying that

Not really sure it's for me but I am just happy that it really annoys Nintendo

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 16 points 23 hours ago (33 children)

Out ofthe loop here. Why does Nintendo care?

[–] Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net 55 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Nintendo spent a load of money and resources in a protracted legal battle trying to get the project canned by suing them for everything they could think of. It ended in them forcing Palworld to remove the ball throwing mechanic, because apparently Pokemon has that copyrighted or something.

Pokemon has that copyrighted or something.

Patented, which is even dumber

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world 25 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

And the gliding with monsters

[–] Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net 6 points 15 hours ago

Damn, didn't know that.

I hope so. I played the game last year and everything felt a bit lackluster and janky. It's a pretty fun game, but I hope 1.0 adds that polish it needs.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 17 hours ago

Just play Abiotic Factor.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 16 points 21 hours ago

Less tell more show.

There are loads of technical issues with Palworld that put me off from buying it.

[–] CosmoNova@lemmy.world 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I was planning on starting a new world once 1.0 drops and was worried how big this update will be. This gives me some confidence. I really like what they have done so far and can‘t wait to see how they‘ll wrap it up.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 7 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

Is it steam deck compatible? Like controls wise?

[–] warmaster@lemmy.world 9 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

My kid plays it on the deck, he's 7. So, I guess it's fine.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 6 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

Then I very well might to be able to tank it. Glad your kid did the research.
