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.

MODERATORS
I mean, I like Katawa Shoujo as well, but there's no need to be that condescending towards other games😅
I was just annoyed by all those (lame, imho) Screenshot posts, I agree 😅 sometimes a little shade doesn't hurt, though
They aren't lame. The main person usually has some good shits in their posts.
Like they're framed decently and it's not just a random screen from their game like you posted.
The content of that screen is perfection, dude
I enjoy them; they're a small, mundane, humanising element in a sea of (often bad) news or game trailer links in my feed.
Though I also appreciate the parody.
Thanks for balancing the dichotomy, my man
Usually it is the same person who post them, if you are bothered by them, just block those two or three users and you won't ever be bothered by them again.
Personally I hesitated to allow them at first, but it gives a bit more diversity to the community posts, and it doesn't seem to be a bad things. For now I don't think it is too much, even with two posters (the original and his... sidekick? 😆), but if the community subscribers start to down-vote it to hell (like was yours), then I'll ask both of them to redirect those post to a dedicated community, like https://feddit.uk/c/photomode, linked by @Zahille7@lemmy.world
Hi, I'm the original guy (or as far as i believe i am). Just to give confirmation to what you said, If ever people get tired of the posts or mods would just prefer i take them elsewhere, just let me know and I'll move them without any argument
Maybe crosspost to that other community too. It may help revive it.
i went ahead and subscribed just now. I'll crosspost my post tonight there
Thanks for your helpful thoughts on blocking :) I'm not that bothered by them, I just find them very boring and wanted to have some fun with this format. Boy, did other people here not find that funny xD makes this entertaining in a different, kind of sad way, I guess. Everybody taking everything so seriously.
I sometimes understand the annoyance of poor content, but in Lemmy that’s a motivator to go put up better content.
I objectively did put up better content! I'm posting content on lemmy, I'm a savior, light some incense and inhale deeply, guys
Maybe you think they're lame because those are screenshots of an actual game being rendered in realtime, and not just a picture someone drew for a visual novel with some text over it.
Funny that you would call rendered content more valuable than hand-crafted art
It's even funnier that no, I didn't.
But, if you really want to compare the artistic value of a screenshot of a game, one is equivalent to going out in the world with a camera and composing a photo of your natural surroundings, while the other is the equivalent of typing "anime girl" into google images and saving one of them.
