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 sounds like a bunch of promises made by someone in marketing.

[–] Moneo@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

So much "journalism" feels like advertising.

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah, enlightenment. So, no pre-orders, right?

[–] ours@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Never pre order.

[–] MysticKetchup@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Sounds really cool, though still very light on details. I also hope it's playable solo since it feels so hard to get a group of 4 people together as a working adult

[–] originalfrozenbanana@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Void crew is a version of this playable today. You can definitely play solo but nothing really comes close to how easy a game like SoT is to play solo

[–] Thassodar@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Generally speaking if the company offers a Discord that's a good place to meet people and group up. I did it a lot with Remnant 2.

[–] MysticKetchup@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Haha yeah, I'm just getting to a point where I'm old and don't want to make new accounts for things

[–] littlebluespark@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I'm in. 🤞🏽

[–] originalfrozenbanana@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Full screen pop up ads, site is cancer

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why are you using the internet without a condom?

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I get the experience of unprotected internet in my Lemmy app which uses Chrome for preview windows instead of Firefox. Haven't seen ads in a decade so it's a pretty wild contrast

[–] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

I'd recommend DNS66 from f-droid, uses the phone's VPN support to block ad DNS requests. It will filter ads and trackers from all apps on the phone.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Does your app have an option to open links in the default external browser (which I would assume you have Firefox as)?

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes it does, I can also choose Open External on specific links - which I do when I know I want to read or remember the link.

I haven't changed the default behavior because I like keeping stuff "in" the app instead of filling my browser with tabs. I'm not saying that's a good reason but it's why I do it

[–] DSkou7@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sounds like you need a pihole.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

To add more excuses to the mix: I'm currently living with family while house hunting so I have no control over my network until I move :(

But it doesn't bother me a ton so I'll just live with it for now

[–] slumlordthanatos@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I've always said that the Railjack in Warframe really deserved to be its own game instead of a shoehorned game mode.

This looks like what that idea could be. Just being able to play Sea of Thieves IN SPACE!!! is a home-run of an idea.

[–] mercano@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I thought Notch was employee #1 of Mojang.

[–] IWantToFuckSpez@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

Notch was the founder and owner of Mojang. When they talk about “employee #x” they mean employees after the founders even if the founders are on the payroll.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I'm a bit concerned that someone somewhere thought that a game mix that contained Sea Of Thieves actually constituted a good proposition.

Sea of thieves is a solid 4/10 and marketers over here are treating it as some kind of high standard. It makes me question their credibility.

Oh never mind it's IGN of course they said this. They know less about gaming than my mother.

[–] Maestro@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It may not be your cup of tea, but a lot of people (me included) really like SoT.

[–] yokonzo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah this feels like a really biased take

[–] drislands@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's unfortunately classic Lemmy. Every post has at least one person commenting something along the lines of "Why would anyone like this?" as opposed to, y'know, actually engaging with the content.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk -2 points 1 year ago

Like you just did? Because going by Steam reviews my comment was justifiable

[–] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

If i had people to play with i would probably play it a lot. My friend group was only invested in the game for like 6-10 hours during covid and imo we had a hell of a time just hanging out trying things.

[–] sunbeam60@lemmy.one 6 points 1 year ago

It might have started a 4/10. By now, it’s touching 10/10 IMHO. But of course you have to like the kind of game it is.
