Community Rules

You must post before you leave

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.

Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.

Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".

Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.

Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.

Avoid AI generated content.

Avoid misinformation.

Avoid incomprehensible posts.

No threats or personal attacks.

No spam.

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

  • Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
  • Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
  • When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
  • Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
  • Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
  • Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
  • Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
  • Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
  • Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
  • Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
  • Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
  • Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
  • First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
  • Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
  • No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
  • Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
  • Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

>Helldivers 2

... No thanks, I think I'll stay poor.

Ok wow rejecting democracy much? SMH

[–] volore@scribe.disroot.org 3 points 1 week ago

I'm rank 175 40 minute excursions into hell are one thing, but I already live in an authoritarian, kakistocracy dystopia in the real world, I do not need to live in one turned up to 11.

Stardew Valley? I mean... Sure.

[–] Protoknuckles@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Persona 5, so deeply pessimistic, cynical japan

[–] Deme@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 week ago

RDR2 for me as well. At least there's options. I would probably play it safe by ditching the gang before I contract tuberculosis and just live as a hunter up in the mountains. The mechanics of the game would make that quite easy compared to IRL.

Alternatively, the epilogue does seem nice.

Tunic! So, cute but also deadly?

[–] StumblingWasabi@lemmy.today 4 points 1 week ago

I opened elden ring for the first time In years Yesterday, there could be worse games, plenty of safe places to hide

[–] potatobro@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Kerbal Space Program. I'll probably die but at least I'll (likely) get to see space and go out in a blaze of glory

[–] Deme@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

You'll sit in a capsule for all that time in interplanetary space or abandoned on the surface of some celestial body. Pray that there's no life support mods installed. In any case, you'll go mad

[–] seraphine@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 week ago

Frostpunk... yeah no

[–] TheLunatickle@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

Darktide. Yeah I'm not taking the money.

music is illegal but i get to beat up cops

Portal 2 cooperative edition. My partner may drive me insane, but at least I am virtually immortal.

I don't think I'd survive 5 minutes, let alone a year being bombarded with blocks from Beatsaber. Unless I can stand next to the track.

[–] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Hmm...

Not bad, I guess. At least if I'm in my own city, we're pretty set, food and water are both being produced onboard. I guess I'm a bird person now?

[–] Ioughttamow@fedia.io 3 points 1 week ago

Baba is you I think was the last one. So like, I could become all walls or space, or might accidentally make myself nothing… so a fraught existence for sure

I would be in Slime Rancher 2. I would be doing pretty alright! I can stay at my ranch and tend to my adorable slimes.

Hol up while I download LSL5

[–] bibluz4@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Factorio. It would be pretty nice but I'm not sure my human me is prepared to deal with the bugs... A tough decision.

I don't even know what would happen with Balatro, do I get to be a Jimbo? Could I be Blueprint, or do I just get to the something useless like Matador?

Stay a while and listen!

[–] Doublenut@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

That actually sounds pretty ideal. I'd just do what i do in the game anyway. Ride my horse, pick flowers, collect skins, camp. Occasionally go into town to get supplies and unload my furs.

But I'd end up in Spiderman. Do i get to be Spiderman or just some shmo on the street?

[–] CameronDev@programming.dev 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

PUBG. Im gonna get murdered a lot, but at least death isnt final, given respawns exist. At least the pubg maps are quite large and interesting to explore.

Witcher 3. I might be a little fucked, but I think I'd have fun before I died. Maybe I could get lucky and be one of the rich folks in a city and live peacefully for a year.

[–] P1k1e@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Just HAD to play a Helldivers 2 match last night didn't I.... Well I mean zomboid with 1 out of 5 zombies being a runner probably ain't gonna do me no favors either.... I'm boned

[–] QueenHawlSera@piefed.social 3 points 1 week ago

Runescape is so easy nowadays that this seems fine, I could avoid combat skills and become a fisherwoman, eat lobster all day.

[–] Chef_Boyargee@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Looks like I picked Power Wash Simulator back up at the right time

[–] kibiz0r@midwest.social 3 points 1 week ago

Playing as myself, I wouldn’t survive 10 minutes in Megabonk.

Megaman battle network 3, im in heaven

[–] DGen@piefed.zip 3 points 1 week ago

Making food and stuff. Hoping the killer happened before me. The Game is "Kiosk". Shot Horror Game - can recommend

[–] Philharmonic3@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

DayZ. I'm dead, unless I can find enough bullets and a car to stand on top of.

[–] jjj@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago

Getting mauled by a farmbot IRL any% wr.

[–] blx@piefed.zip 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

oh no yesterday i was testing something and opened minecraft with only the 'nox: renoxed' mod installed

this is gonna be fun, as long as i can respawn and am not a human in the game

Well that depends, am I the "main character", if so do I start at the beginning or where I left off?

I mean, either way in satisfactory I don't require sleep or food or drink, unless I take damage and need to eat some nuts or berries. So just avoid the local wildlife until I get the hover pack.

I remember my first time playing and not wanting to wander too far from the grassy spawn because of all the hostile fauna and unfamiliar terrain.

Now with the hover pack, a full island-spanning rail network with power pylons, dimensional depots with packaged fuel and a jetpack, I'm constantly zipping across the place and half the time I have no idea where exactly I am but I'm just hopping over the wildlife and on the off chance something hits me and I'm offended, I'll toss a nuke at it before flying off.

I just unlocked the nuclear pasta milestone and am currently working on getting the nuclear power situation sorted while I wait for my very slow factories to pump out the space elevator bits.

I could do without ADA trying not to sound like GLaDOS-lite, but I can live with an annoying bot.

The other game I played today was Project zomboid, and as the title card says every time you start a new game, "this is how [I] died"

Legit didn't even last 5 minutes in my starting character in a new world today. Looted the spawn house, leveled a little bit of carpentry and cooking, then got bit in the fucking driveway because I miss-timed my swing. I had a shotgun and axe, too...

Well, I would be royally screwed. I cannot explain why at all due to major spoilers, but I would be stuck in Pokemon Rejuvenation. If you have played the game up until the current final chapter or at least know the story, you know why I am royally screwed.

All I can say is being in the official pokemon game with the most villainous and successful evil team would be paradise because at least I know nobody really ever dies, NPC or otherwise.
