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.

Okay losers, time for you to spend obscene amounts to do your part in funding the terrible shit company nvidia.

Okay loser, so what GPU should we buy then?

That would be a downgrade for me. And you know, same company...

"Used" is not "same company" because you're not buying from said company.

You still gotta use their shitty NVIDIA experience app (bloated with ads that make NVIDIA money when you open it), and you buying a used NVIDIA card increases demand (and thus prices) on all NVIDIA cards.

If you are a gamer and not doing AI stuff then buying a non-NVIDIA card is entirely an option.

GeForce Experience app is dead thank goodness with no account or sign in required anymore.

Good fucking riddance

Market share is not as simple as measuring directly sold products.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

And if you buy it used, nVidia doesn't get any of that money.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Sure, if your understanding of economy is based off of a lemonade stand a dollar a cup..

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

If I buy a used card from an individual, nVidia doesn't get a penny. How is that complicated?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

Ok....they do. They get increased market share, which is measurable and valuable to shareholders, increasing stock value and increasing company liquidity.
