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.

Holy shit......you know what this means, right? It means Obama and Bush TOTALLY fucked!

And based on how old he is, it was probably sometime in the 60s.....which I assume would make both Obama and Bush children at the time.....

..........ok, I don't like my brain now.

I was with you during the first half but wtf happened at the end?

[–] Sparkega@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

Exactly my thought on Bush/Obama hybrid

[–] DrakeAlbrecht@lemm.ee 33 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm not old, I'm "collectible"!

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

That just means no one will ever take you out of your packaging and play with you.

I audibly laughed hard, this is so amazing.

I'd be thrilled to be considered "middle aged" at 81

[–] kelpie_returns@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago

This is such a fun and clever way to strengthen inter-generational community. I would love to see something like this where I live!

No fucking way he actually made a real card game for it

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Last I saw they were selling the fake textless cards, but God damn they went and did it for reals. Looks like a fusion of magic and yugioh.

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Okay so did they go viral or are they just popular in this one small town? Word mean things

[–] inconel@lemmy.ca 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They're viral in the town bcs its real person the local knew in the first place. Your neighbors turning into cards and have whatever TCG spell is just hilarious for them

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

That's kinda fun.

My city a few years ago did playing cards with local restaurants on them

Pedantic is a word.

Also, your criticism of the author's words would have carried more weight if you had pluralized correctly.
