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 thought rogue one was an excellent movie but I always had a grudge against it for taking Kyle Katarn absolutely out of the picture in regards to retrieving the death star plans

Just make your own head canon. You can watch Andor and R1, play Jedi Outcast, and read the OG Thrawn Trilogy. That's what I do. It's all made up anyway.

They werent even trying to hide it either.

Jyn Erso? Seriously? Just keep her real name, Jan Ors. Thats the most "at home" character naming laziness I think I have ever seen.

Thats like calling Kylo Ren "Darth Shmader" lol.

Well you see, when Disney bought Star Wars, they took a look at all the amazing EU stuff and said "nah, we don't need any of that!" and promptly threw it in the incinerator.

And then realized they actually did need all that stuff and have been bringing it back with extra steps, and worse lol.

I'm slightly on the young side for FMV games, but Jedi Knight and Command & Conquer were childhood staples that shaped my tastes in so many weird ways. JK is up there with the original trilogy for "Star Wars that is good and I care about." Katarn is easily the coolest Jedi.

Mapocolops played through Dark Forces II recently and it was incredible watching those FMVs again that blew my mind as a child. I will always love Kyle Katarn.

However... the level design is absolutely wild! I have no idea how I got through that game as an 8-year-old!

I sometimes still have nightmares about those aqueducts and fuel tubes!

Hell yeah! Played those games so much. I remember even duelling online with a classmate. Was great
