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.

That's the expansion by the Voidpoint people who didn't leave a good impression with some of their hurtful "jokes". Personally, I'm not looking forward to it but it's the closest thing to a new Duke3D, so some people might be interested.

Apparently I'm out of the loop, what happened?

Edit: Got to a point that I could look it up. My favorite part is where the devs felt so strongly about their god given right to call people f**s that they said people should just pirate the game instead. Awesome. Not completely disgusting at all.

Yooo that's crazy they said that on stream

Still Build engine, so I'm going to pass on this opportunity.

That’s my childhood your insulting there, I have many fond memories of opening up Build and making maps and mods.

Same here because the map editor was relatively easy to get into but Build engine always felt off to me.

As always all gaming drama is so stupid and overblown, just like the wizard game.... I loved the first one, if people try to boycott this over some past controversy I'll buy extra copies to gift to friends LMAO.

Are you like this in real life? or just a weirdo on the internet. If you act like this in reality I'm just gonna warn you right now that everyone you know doesn't like it, they think it's weird.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Bold of you to assume what I or my friends are like irl, but I'll tell you they are not oversensitive snowflakes triggered by mere words (in the context of this game controversy), and I'm sure that from this you already think I am every *phobe and *ism in the book so think what you will I don't care.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I'm gonna assume you aren't. You just act like a normal person away from the keyboard. This is like a cosplay bit you do because of too much youtube

Loved Ion Fury. Can't wait for this!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Never heard of this! It looks a bit similar to far cry blood dragon, but mixed with doom

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

It's more like Duke3D
