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.

(Idea taken from a similar post I saw in Reddit a longer time ago)

I would probably get a knife in my ribs before I notice anything and be left to lie in the street πŸ˜…

I'd land in a minefield, with only numbers to help me out.

Isn't it that building/strategy game where beavers have evolved and build cities? Saw it in Steam.

I'd be hanging out in my nice Minecraft city my friends and I are building. Honestly wouldn't be too bad

[–] Damaskox@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago (2 children)

...until the evening comes. I hope you do have...precautions for that?

[–] NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We have inner and outer walls encircling the city and raised rail lines passing between major points of interest. I'd be prepared!

Odds are that I get run over by a train shortly after. Also the factory must grow.

[–] Damaskox@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Hahaa!

Good that you beat the Great Filter of oil production (I think trains might be around or after researching that?)! Many of us find introducing oil...demoralizing playing motivation (did for me unfortunately!) πŸ˜…

Valheim, so probably killed by a falling tree.

Time to pay off my debt to a raccoon and fish all day.

Definitely not a bad way to live. Talk to your animal villagers, the debt doesn’t have any interest and you could just never pay it and I’d get to just chill in nature

BG3, so I'm either getting body snatched, horribly murdered, or laid.

Factorio. The factory must grow.

If my regular Apex Legends experience applies, I've got about 30 seconds to live and no hope of my teammates reviving me.

I spend three years locked in a tiny capsule and then die because the engineers forgot to add parachutes.

It's animal crossing. I eat some fruit and then forget and hit a rock and break it.

Rimwold. I'll be dying from an infection caused by a chinchilla's bite.

I'd look pretty out of place as an overweight 43 year old man playing in the Women's World Cup.

Hang out with a bunch of cool dudes, do some diving, make some sushi.

Sounds pretty ideal.

Caves of Qud. Guess I'm a farmer now. The world is very dangerous.

Groan. That means I am stuck in boring but pretty Starfield forever.

Guess I would finally build an Outpost πŸ˜†

Shitty time to have dusted off plants vs zombies. Guess me and crazy Dave are buds now. If you need me, I'll be rummaging through the kitchen cabinets looking for a helmet!

~~I would go bowling with my cousin.~~

Oh wait, I forgot I played the RoboCop demo. Uh oh...

Note: The fact I forgot about playing it probably doesn't speak well for my enjoyment of the game.

Elden Ring. If it's anything like my playing experience. I'm dead within 2 minutes.

Darktide?

I'm either getting killed by Nurgle cultists, or by the Inquisition for being weird and knowing heretical words like "Democracy" and "Human Rights".

[–] nicky7@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago

I have died of dysentery.

[–] Notorious_handholder@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I guess I'm now stuck in the digital world with my companions that consist of a pile of sentient poop and a Dinosaur that can breath fire and talk. Both of which will experience the cycle of life, death, and re-incarnation roughly every few weeks.

I will chill in the idealistic socialist town and happily eat the freshly grown meat straight off the vine that the living plant monster gives out to everyone for free daily

Does D&D count? I could probably have a decent time finding some magic item and then just using it in daily life.
