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.

Instead we got Half Life: Alyx

Only if you're rich enough to afford VR setup. Fuck me for being born in a third world country, right Gabe?

Haha you're poor

Choke on my toes

Don't threaten them with a good time.

And are physically abled to play in VR.

I had a VR Headset (Vive Cosmos), but my eyes just aren't up scratch, so I could never enjoy it.

It was the same for HL2 though. I played it like 10 years after it was released, didn't make the game worse. With VR the first experience will probably be even better in the future.

Literally how? All you needed was a computer that could run games, which if you were into gaming on PC, you already had.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It required a good computer which I living in a third-world country didn't have.

But that was not exclusive to HL2. That's for every AAA PC game released at the time. Don't tell me you could run GTA:VC but not HL2.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

VR is not exclusive to Alyx as well. I could run Diablo 2 but not HL2.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

False equivalency. Most games these days, and for the foreseeable future, aren't VR.
