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.

Eurogamer is shit. You can serve ads without tracking. But, they don't care.

Yeah I hate this trend of you have to subscribe in order to not be tracked. I just agree to the cookies and then block them at the OS level. Get to have my cake and eat it too.

Honestly, it would be weird for any industry to start caring about ethics after all this time.

Not an endorsement of AI but a criticism of capitalism.

Probably invaluable if you're intent on pumping out slop.

Video games are an art. If you outsource your art to shitty robots...what service is it that you're providing? What are you doing that I can't do my fucking self.

all parts of videogames are art. sound, visuals, level design, code. you could make the argument that someone who enjoys some of those things but not all of them could more easily get a thing out the door if they could automate one part of it.

Why should a single developer of a game not be allowed to offload making textures for a gravel road or some other brain-numbing task onto AI, and use the time saved to make the main features of the game better?

Personally I agree. The problem is then you have to declare it and the way that steam currently handles that declaration is literally the worst possible implementation of the idea, - all games just get dumped into the same category of "uses AI". I would actually prefer them to just take the tag away, then keep it in its current dysfunctional state.

It's just a tag that says that AI was used in some aspect of making the game, but there's no breakdown of how the AI was used, did it author code or did it design background elements that no one will really see, because there's a huge difference there, and the distinction is important.

exactly. aside from the ethical concerns of using unknown source material.

Making the rest of the video game.
