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.

So what was the info this time?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Technical manual for a Harrier.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

Really? Sweet, I've got all the parts for one of those but no idea how to put them together!!

I would like to subscribe to this topic. *click*

I wish these headlines enumerated which time this was. What if it's the second time this week? How would I know? /s

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago

The funniest thing about this one (for me) is that users in the forum mentioned "hey, i really think {somedude} would like it"
And the reply from another user was: "yea, but he got a ban"
(something something i forgot)
"it was him"

So the leaker was an active part of the community XD

this is not what they said litterally but how i remembered the context!

The user received a temporary ban.

Every time I reread this sentence I crack up again. What gets you a permanent ban??

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

I believe war thunder considers these people to be band ambassadors. After all, we're talking about it.

Stealing an actual Harrier and delivering it to --> Budapest, Hungária krt. 162, 1146

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 days ago

I imagine that's handed out by state security.

Gajin was founded in Russia and only moved offices to Hungary in 2015.

Giving a temporary ban reserves plausible deniability while keeping the honeypot open.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Yeah... that is xenophobic nonsense.

You don't need a major successful live service game to build a honeypot for military secrets. I remember back in the day the arma fansites and the like would be CONSTANTLY filled with "is it real? if so... somebody getting black van'd" style posts. Same with flight sims. Anywhere you have even pseudo-realistic military hardware/tactics you will have people who insist on stuffing files in their pants and scanning them to prove why the thing they work on is better.

It is always hilarious that warthunder can't go a month without classified information. But that more just speaks to how insanely popular that game is.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 days ago

In these troubled times is good to know there is still a group of people who will reliably do the one thing these good at

[–] [email protected] 60 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

At this point I'm cheering for them. You go get your internet clout Warthunder dude. Classified Smassified.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 days ago

Ahhh shit, here we go again.
