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.

Big sack of cash and a good mark on her CV. And Obsidian has been kind of a clusterfuck the past few years with Avowed having been more or less restarted from scratch like three times?

Netflix games is a sinking ship but so is... a lot of the games industry. Whereas working as a creative at Netflix is potentially a way to pivot out and away from games entirely. Carrie is also a writer (I think self published?) so that is a further way to seem like someone who can transition to a different department.

Happens all the time. Netflix is moneyhatting, promises someone who knows how to do the job a great salary to do it for them instead.

Haha Netflix games. If you thought your titles were unfinished garbage before, just wait.

It's like watching human centipede: executive decision. They just keep eating each other's shit.

Maybe the guy at the front will eat vanilla paste instead of cuttlefish this time.

If he's¹ on the case like properly I'll be a happy camper. There's been a couple of actually enjoyable mobile games from netflix.

¹They're²

²She's

He? You mean she, Carrey Patel?

[–] Yermaw@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I meant they because it wasn't specified in the headline, but you can't win them all.

[–] ms_lane@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You can, if you don't know their gender, instead of assuming one way or the other - that's what them/they/their/they're are for.

I corrected my mistake and am still getting told about it. The most innocuous of mistakes in one of the lowest stakes locations and topics available.

[–] MoreZombies@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

If you made an edit I guess it doesn't update for other servers - viewing these comments from a lemm.ee account in Voyager and it's still the original..

Avowed? Really?
