Funny anecdote, one of Reddit server was named after that game : Untitled Goose Server. That was a pool on the gold only sub, I was the one proposing that name.


You may want to rephrase and clarify, and probably typecheck you text.



He is not making a expection to himself. Self promotion is allowed, if not excessive or from newly created account.


Note to the community :
self promotion is allowed on this community, what we disallowed is excessive self promotion.
Things like multiple post in a short timespan, not disclosing ones link to a specific game, or anything that is made to manipulate the community to make a game look better or more popular that it is really. Sames goes for new account posting ads to games, never to be seen again

So let’s check here:

  • He disclosed his link to the game : yes
  • Posted about it multiple times is a short time : I didn’t see anything like that, but feel free to report if it is the case
  • Is active : yes
  • No suspicious link : yes

In my book, this is 100% legit. No need to report.


Doomsider sure explained it better than you did, and he did defend his opinion, which you didn’t. Throwing strawmen arguments and insults around doesn’t do anything to allow meaningful conversations.


Considering your own argument length, I don’t think he’d need to invest more energy to make a more compelling one to counter yours.

So either elaborate yours, or go look at at the concept of “Bullshit‑asymmetry principle” (and associated concepts) when you’ll have time.


While I kinda admire your dedication at writing such lengthy insult, I’d like to remind you this is not an acceptable behaviour here.


FFXIV works great with a controller, I don’t see why GW2 wouldn’t with a similar gamepad oriented UI.


“We are responsible for what we say and what we do, not the interpretation others do out of them.”

Please do not assume your understanding of the underlying argument has to be correct, or you’d risk falling to the strawman fallacy.

As a moderator I like to see arguments around games, but I don’t want to see them degenerate into fight.

So could your rephrase without assuming your opponent intention without solid proofs?


Maybe. We’ll see. I didn’t see it on the community, I through, considering how active the subject was at first, that it would be of interest to the community.


19th of September 2025, seem fresh enough to me, and the game isn’t the same. Maybe they once again changed their policy.

But the fact that it wasn’t NSFW at first may have worked in their defavor, that’s true.



A really strange way to hide the free game, for sure 😅.


If you like creature collector games, Cassette Beasts is the best one I played so far.

Well, now that everyone who want to play day one bought it, the only remaining market are the people of [email protected] that are waiting for a sale to buy it.

And considering it is on the game pass, 4.4 million is quite good.


That’s indeed what we asked to do next time for big events. But when no such big event occurs, it’s OK.

In my opinion, the following trailers are acceptable :

  • Announcement of a new game -> so we can start talking about that game
  • Announcement of end of early access or of game release (like Hades 2 recently) -> So we can talk about the game at its release state
  • Major update of updates of a game (as soon as it isn’t too often) -> So we can discuss how that specific update make that game evolve, for better or worse. I’d honestly still prefer those one to be kept to their dedicated communities, but one from time to time won’t kill anyone.

Globally, that’s also a way to advertise dedicated communities for that specific game, so I think that’s alright.

We’ll discuss all of this with the incoming community rules update.


Incredibly cursed. Who asked for this.

Their shareholders, I suppose.


You can use Heroic Launcher instead. And you get an Amazon Games and GoG client as a bonus.

Same here, but the performances are abysmal on the Deck (15-20 fps on low), and crashes on every map changes. I’m gonna wait next week to see if it goes better with the first few fixes, and then I’ll chose if I refund it or not.

I do already have a pretty powerfull desktop already (5800X3D, 32 Go RAM and RX 6800), but I just love the Deck form factor.
Especially that now I can play at work, which makes my noon brake a lot less boring. It is kinda harder to bring my desktop around 😅.


Until recently I’d have agreed with you, but some recently released games (like E33) are either locked to very low settings (and still has bad framerate despite that), or even run like shit (Sword of the Sea) even on low.

So yeah, I’m kinda feeling the need for an upgrade right now, and as much as I hate Microsoft, depending on how it will cost I may be tempted… If it runs Bazzite well.


Thread this one being a cross-post of. 😆



I hope you are not as sentimental as I am, or you may need to check your Kleenex reserve.

… Or installing Linux.

flyes away




So many people redeeming for a friend. 😆


Deck perf are currently atrocious, but I’ll still buy it for later. I still have to finish the first one anyway.



That’s probably why it is pinned, to burry it away from everyone eyes 🙄.

I had multiples report about the various topics that popped over the weekend, because how many of them there was on a span of a few days. Moderating them was a nightmare, so I tried to politely ask everyone to consolidate on the same thread. Somehow it ended up in insults, so I had to close it. First I considered selecting another topic, but most of the remainding ones were to foccused on one part of the issue to do such thing.

Thus, the megathread.

Trust me, I’m not a fan of the concept either, mostly because how time costly it is to maintain it, but that the price to pay to not have to spend twice the time sorting repports on various threads.


[Megathread] Payments Processors & Collective Shout VS NSFW games
Hi friends, There was many threads lately on that topic, and despite attempts at making all those threads follow the community rules, looks like it will be better to make a megathread in order to avoid drowning other topics under the constant updates about this. You find bellow multiple sections, containing as much info as possible on every aspect of this topic, including the latest news (as well as older ones), and how to participate in fighting it (if you wish to). The moderation, even if we do have our own personal opinion on the topic, will try to stay as neutral as possible, which mean all opinion (for or against) are welcome, as long as it respect the rules, especially rule 2. As a special exception to rule 4, memes are welcome in the comment section, as I saw some good ones in various other topics, as soon as they respect rule 2. ## Latest news - [Mastercard release a statement about game stores, payment processors and adult content](https://lemmy.world/post/33816600) - [Payment Processors Are Pressuring Major Gaming Vendors to Pull LGBTQ+ and NSFW Titles](https://pawb.social/post/28922641) - ["We approached payment processors because Steam did not respond" - Australian pressure group Collective Shout claims responsibility for Steam and Itch.io NSFW game removal](https://lemmy.world/post/33602160) - [Petition to tell MasterCard, Visa, and activist groups to stop censoring legal fictional content](https://lemmy.world/post/33541707) - [[VIDEO] Japan Sanctions Visa after the Censorship of Anime an)d Manga](https://lemmy.world/post/33499054) ::: spoiler Older News - [Itch.io apologise for "frustration and confusion" after delisting thousands of NSFW projects](https://lemmy.world/post/33405043) - [Itch.io is delisting NSFW games due to pressure from payment processors](https://lemmy.world/post/33397687) - [Waypoint Writers Quit Over Removal Of Articles Related To New Steam Policy](https://lemmy.world/post/33258922) - [Steam is cracking down on porn games, to keep Payment Processors happy.](https://lemmy.world/post/33056859) - [Valve gets pressured by payment processors with a new rule for game devs and various adult games removed](https://lemmy.world/post/33054009) There are probably more, I just posted those which were on c/games ::: ## How to participate to the phone campaign The current campaign focuses on calls to payment processor, and [a petition](https://lemmy.world/post/33541707). ### Ressources [GoG bundle](https://items.gog.com/freedomtobuy/index.html) [MasterCard statement](https://www.mastercard.com/us/en/news-and-trends/press/2025/august/clarifying-recent-headlines-on-gaming-content.html) [Breakdown of the situation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmHHnPLllUk) ::: spoiler The petition on change.org https://www.change.org/p/tell-mastercard-visa-activist-groups-stop-controlling-what-we-can-watch-read-or-play ::: ::: spoiler One-tap dial phone numbers, by u/[email protected] ## One-tap dial phone numbers: **Master card** * [US + Can English](tel:1-800-627-8372,1,1,1,0#,0#,0#) (skips card number input) * [Global](tel:1-636-722-7111) --- **Visa** * [US English](tel:1-800-847-2911,1,4) --- **PayPal** * [US English](tel:1-888-221-1161,,0000000000#,0000000000#,0000000000#,1,00000000#,00000000#,00000000#) Say "make a complaint" * [Global](tel:1-402-935-2050) --- **Stripe** (unconfirmed) * [US English](tel:1-888-963-8955) --- **Script**: > I’m calling to urge [company name] to immediately end the policy that unfairly targets the adult content industry.

Later.

As it is the end of my watch, here you go. Now come back when you’ll have grown up a bit.



Nerd

Oh~. The very foundation of my existance was shook by that insight. Go on, tell me more…

No linking errors on my end. Skill issue probly

Or software issue. Looks like my dialer do not like that first link.

You DMed me after removing my second attempt

I don’t see anything on my previous post stating otherwhise.

This is just like the time you said “Harriett Tubman sucks and was an idiot” and then got mad at me for saying you suck in response

I don’t remember that one, care to provide a link ? If it was removed, mods should still be able to see it, even if you may not.


I love you too, no matter how toxic you try to be. 😘

Could I, maybe, get a little more salt to season tonight pastas ?


Is it uncivil to state that @Dremor is a twat?

Yes, by definition

Now, if you could give everyone the context so everyone can judge if your behaviour is childish or not

  1. You posted a meme you made (which is now this topic thumbnail btw), with an exact copy of this very thread, which are both rule 4 violation
  2. You reposted it as soon as I deleted it, adding an insult toward the moderation, without even trying to clarify with said moderation why the first one was removed. Rule 4 was once again called, as well as rule 2.
  3. I sent you a direct message to try to explain you why it was removed, and direct you toward consolidating on this topic, that was, once again, posted not so long ago with the very same info (including the various linking errors) by no other than yourself. At least you seem to have registered the last part, as we can see here, but looks like there was no attention left for the first part.

So feel free to do your pool, which I find childish (but that’s my opinion). I’ll give you an hour or two to counterargue, and I’ll consider if I should or not give you a temp ban after that.


GNU Taller is a good alternative, and I hope to use it in real life some day. Crypto, in their current form, is far too volatile and unregulated for me to be interested in.


That’s a convenient excuse. Then what were they doing all these years, sleeping ??

Waiting for the right time to strike.

Well regardless, now we can kill 2 birds with 1 stone, the fascists & the payment processors

Good luck living without payments processors.


Pretty simple.

They already wanted to do it, but didn’t want to take the blame for it. With a vocal minority now voicing concerns, they jumped on the occasion.

So why now rather than when that group started voicing their oppoaition ? Well, if they did earlier they had to deal with a liberal federal government that probably would have intervened in the name of free market, but now with a conservative fed government, they have free reign to impose regressive view on about anyone.


and using the full name of the diagnosis instead of contracted nouns helps avoid using slurs and/or dehumanising the patent.

You’ve got a typo there. Unless you can prove that said person was indeed diagnosed with such disability by an appropriate medical authority, let’s not use such term that could either be considered defamation, or at least medical disinformation. (/i)

People say what they intend to say, not what you wish them to. If you believe they are incorrect, no need to be pedantic about it. Just argue why, you’d find out people are way more open to arguments when they do not feel like you are condidering them as idiots.

[Announcement] The community and its future
Hi everyone. It has been a while since last community update, as the old moderation team mostly vanished, and I was for a while the only moderator still active. A lot happened since then, and it is time to get the community back running at optimal pace. ## New moderators First, I'd like to welcome two new (temporary) moderator, that will help me moderating while we reform the community and examine permanent moderator applications. - u/JonsJava : You may already know him as the moderator of [email protected], a video game focused community - u/[email protected] (and its moderation alt, فكسومت مدمر العوالم, aka u/modfxomt) **If you wish to help moderate this community, feel free to PM me in order to candidate to be a moderator for this community.** ## Sidebar rewrite I took some time to rewrite the sidebar to better reflect the community evolution. I added two new section: 1. "Authorized Regular Threads", which are allowed to be post on a regular basis as long as they respect the rules 2. "Related communities", which contains links to other games related communities. Feel free to PM me to add more of them I also added links to a git repo to each rule, which point to the current ruleset. Currently all of them points to the same root anchor, but in the near future, every rule will point to their specific section. This will allow to give a lot more detail, as well as examples, without polluting the sidebar. ## Community contribution As a community, I'd like to encourage users to participate in the community. We are not meant to be monolithic, like Reddit was, and we'd like to offer the community the way to better itself, according to its own rules, not some corporate greedy interest. As such, I'd like to offer you all way to make it your own, with a more democratic approach to moderation. In the following weeks, I'll post multiple topics about it, from which we will collectively amend our rules to better fit its collectively defined purpose. This will be done in multiple steps : 1. First, we will open a discutions on current rules, in which we will be able to discuss about them, suggest improvements, and maybe create new rules 2. The rules will be then internally rewritten in order to respect the community wish while still following LW rules 3. The new rules will be individually put to vote. If the total is positive, the rule is adopted, if not, the rule will be bought back in a new discussions/amendment topic, until it reach consensus Best regards, u/Dremor Edit 1 : I continued my work on the sidebar, feel free to give me your feedback on it.
