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.

I made this video a few days ago and uploaded on Youtube. I need feedback from you. Tell me what do you think about this video so I can make better content in future! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=902vugDneDM&t=12s

Oh boy.

I want to support content creators, especially the ones willing to post to Lemmy.

This also reminds me of kids just trying out creative pursuits for the first time, what with "Please no hate" in the title instead of using the title like an actual title and asking commenters to be gentle in the post body. Not wanting hate is just a normal and understandable desire, so I feel bad for even saying that, but I also only ever saw that kind of thing in the title of a post when I was 9 and looking at stuff fellow kids put online. Most creators, even those seeking feedback (and I've seen a lot of those), will put a request to be gentle in the post body. Their title actually tells you about their content and tries its damndest to appeal to you.

"Tell me what do you think about this video" also isn't 100% perfect English. I mean, who among us hasn't made a screwup before with the English language? But somehow this just… really reminds me of kids trying out creative pursuits for the first time. I can't really explain it.

I think I'm also expecting a description of what your video is even about in the body, and your message could apply to any video uploaded. A makeup tutorial, a math lesson, an avant-garde art piece… I assume it has to do with gaming given you posted it in [email protected], but that is all I know. Something about this just feels weird and wrong and I figured I might as well help you (since you did ask for feedback) by trying to explain why I feel so, so offput by this post.

Also, I opened the video, saw the #dani hashtag, and thought "oh that guy that person on Lemmy was trying to promote," had a hunch, and checked your profile to find you are that person on Lemmy who was promoting him. So I admit I have that experience coloring my perception of your post.

Thank you! The title was supposed to say/mean please no unreasonable hate. I meant that the hate had to be reasoned. This lack of skill to write what I mean takes us to your next point. My English is pretty bad because English is not my main language that I speak. I probably know the parts where you thought that my english was bad and to be honest I admit that when I wrote the script to the text to speech bot I didn't realize how dumb it was going to sound. I'll try better in the future!

My earlier comment almost had a section that said "and if English is your second language, sorry in advance about all the incorrect assumptions! Learning a second language is difficult."

Best wishes! I do think you would find better reception if you put more information about what you are posting about in the title and body.
