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.

Unfortunately, the only hardware component you can actually download is RAM. And increased hardware prices are going to be the primary cost factor.

The funny thing is, I believe RAM is actually one component that isn't manufactured as much in China (compared to other components).

Oh sorry I didn't read the article. Hardware makes more sense.

Then it isn't so much playing games, it's the death of the entire industry. If no one can play anything, there's nothing to sell.

Neato!

Guess I'll have to keep my steam deck in good working order and enjoy gaming in a tribute sense.

Until untracked VPNs are made illegal due to "security."

...make your own. Destroy it and remake it with a new IP once every few months, use headscale or something to make managing it easier.

I am this petty, absolutely.

(Or just get everything now, I mean. You got a month. Sorry if you didn't buy a few hard drives when Trump got elected. Some of us saw the writing on the wall.)

Oh believe me I have. 2 HDDs and 1 SSD. I've also been snatching up DVDs of shows from second hand places since streaming services will become untenable soon
