Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Help and suggestions
Watch out for the Marvel trademark on the name, Disney has lawyers.
I am not the dev, just sharing.
IANAL, but IMO there is no confusion between an MMO guild management game and a marvel comic book concept. But then again, I would never trust an American court in such situations.
You what ?
They butt.
I Am Not A Lawyer, this is (used to be?) a pretty common internet acronym.
Just found it funny
“I ANAL”
Another comment mentioned an equivalent, “TINLA” that might not cause a chuckle in some very mature people like me 😆😅
Still is. I’ve seen almost exactly this exchange on Lemmy at least three times.
@StrixUralensis It’s “I Am Not A Lawyer”. It’s usually used when giving advise and suggestions that borders on law, since many countries have provisions against giving law-related advises.
Another one is TINLA, short for “This Is Not Legal Advice”.
Supporedly, saying either or both IANAL and TINLA prevents potential problems if what you said ended up damaging someone. I’m not sure, but I think those two are the only court recognized “disclaimers”. 🤣
@Agent_Karyo
Yeah it doesn’t even need to make it to the courts. Lawyers for big companies will still throw their weight around and tiny indies don’t have the resources to even contest frivolous lawsuits
