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.

Everyone without a 5090 should immediately refund the game and use these remarks as the justification.

Can we please standardize a pc parts price point? (Not sure I'm saying this right)

Like, "it doesn't matter where technology is, $600 gets you 'low', &1000 gets you 'high', and $2000 gets you 'ultra'."

$2000 gets you just a high end graphics card. >.>'

Yeah so, either the prices need to come down, or devs optimize for those price points. Or both. Because two thousand dollars for a gpu is ridiculous.

When everyone stops chasing cryptocoin and AI the prices will come down.

As long as people will pay 2k for a video card, they'll charge 2k for a video card :(

The market doesn't discern between gamers, cryptobros, and corporations.

I thought we were about to have a break when everything went ASIC, but that just didn't last.

No one will ever stop chasing AI. It's the holy grail of corporate efficiency, just you... your shareholders... and some unpaid robot slaves. The dream.

[–] FanciestPants@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

What's with this "you" middle man? Let's just get rid of that and have shareholders-robots.

Eventually, the bubble will burst.

Venture Cap paid for the first round of hardware; it has to make real money for the second round.

Once the token price rises to the actual cost of buying the ephemeral hardware it's running on, no one will want to use it for the hard stuff.

Most AI companies will die quite dramatically, but the big players will weather the storm and soak up all the rewards that come from monopolising on such technology. The ultimate product can turn to slop if you're the only game in town.
