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.

If it doesn't work from Germany use a VPN

[–] McWizard@lemmy.zip 3 points 5 days ago

Thank you, that worked!

[–] Prime@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 5 days ago

They have a list of countries where games are not legal and cannot be bought/redeemed. Two stand out with almost all games: One is China. The second is Germany. I hate this shitty conservative self-righteous government and its prude regulations.

Nice, but too many tiddies and not enough dicks.

Treasure of Nadia is legit a good game

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Hunie Pop has a surprising amount of strategy involved.

[–] okmko@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

HuniePop is one of my favorite guilty pleasures. Out spawned so many clones because it was legitimately well made.

[–] nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 5 days ago

suddenly buying all this weird interactive porn that I didn't realize i wanted

[–] TallonMetroid@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

For anyone having issues with the site, the giveaway code is freedomtobuygames which you might have better luck redeeming via Galaxy.

[–] Prime@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Is there a way to redeem in Galaxy? I did not see it

[–] Prime@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 5 days ago

Found it. It's in the cog menu, very top left

[–] Aarrodri@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (7 children)

I can't get past the captcha. Tried like 10 times

[–] el_hache@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

Maybe you're in a country where one of more games are restricted, this solved it for me

[–] BenLeMan@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Yeah what's up with those lately? I've noticed them taking longer and longer to solve as well as being more difficult.

[–] Uranhjort@lemmy.world 17 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It's ReCaptcha owned by Google, if you're using a non-Chrome browser or an ad blocker it punishes you with tedium. Probably illegal to sabotage your competition but when did that ever stop them.

Legit took me 20 minutes to just get this;

  • click redeem -> 5 captchas
  • click login, reset password -> 5 captchas
  • click reset password link -> 5 captchas
  • login -> 5 captchas
  • click redeem -> 5 captchas

Lmao and people say AI could ruin the web more

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Awesome but I'm not really into those games. I might try one or two just to support the cause.

[–] hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Hunie pop is a legit good game. Its a fun puzzler and a toungue in cheek take on the genre.
