A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.
The rules for behavior are a straight carry over of Mastodon.World's rules. You can click the link but we've reposted them here in brief, as a guideline. We will continue to use the Mastodon.World rules as the master list. Over all, be nice to each other and remember this isn't a community built around debate. For the rules about formatting your posts, scroll down to number 2.
1. Follow the rules of Mastodon.world, which can be found here.
A. Provide an inclusive and supportive environment. This means if it isn't rulebreaking and we can't be supportive to them then we probably shouldn't engage.
B. No illegal content.
C. Use content warnings where appropriate. This means mark your submissions NSFW if need be.
D. No uncivil behavior. This includes, but is not limited to: Name Calling; Bullying; Trolling; Disruptive Commenting; or Personal Criticisms.
E. No Harrassment. As an example in relation to Transgender people this includes, deadnaming, misgendering, and promotion of conversion therapy. Similarly Misogyny, Misandry, and Racism are also banned here.
2. Include a community or instance title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities or instances all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.
3. Follow the formatting. - The formatting as included below is important for people getting universal links across Lemmy as easily as possible.
Please include this following format in your post:
[link text](/c/[email protected])
This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won't
You should also include either:
or instance.com/c/community
Q: Why do I get a 404?
A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.
Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?
A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn't get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn't actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.

I really liked the first game; had mixed opinions on second game, with the rumors Legion introducing microtransactions somehow on its release I didn't even bother playing the third game.
I think almost everyone agrees that Legion is the worst entry in the franchise and I completely agree. The story was bland and the play as everyone system wasn't very fleshed out. I nevertheless had a lot of fun with it by focusing on the sandbox/open world aspects instead of the story and characters. Something that is very important to me about video games is their worldbuilding and every Watch Dogs game has absolutely nailed that IMO. Legions dystopian cyberpunk London is stunning to look at and move around and the way the player experiences this mass-surveillance police state around them is truly captivating. Learning about messed up artificial intelligence experiments, the development of technology making it even easier for the government and companies to spy on citizens and seeing, reading about and listening to people suffer the direct consquences of this more than made up for the lackluster story in my eyes. So much in fact that I spent over a hundred hours in this game and still come back to it regularly even though support has been dropped long ago. Microtransactions didn't bother me as they are completely optional and can only be used to purchase skins and characters that mostly aren't much different to those you can recruit in the base game. One exception is the Bloodlines DLC, which was a redeeming addition to the game in many peoples eyes. It features a really well done story featuring Aiden Pearce from the first game and Wrench from Watch Dogs 2 (and only those, no recruiting citizens here!), both being fan favorite Characters. The DLCs short but sweet main story and the side missions with some unexpected twists were enjoyable to me and brought back what many loved about the old games. After the launch of Legion there were also two books and one graphic novel released that tie into Legions story with the authors taking what was best about the game, the setting and location, and adding an exciting storyline with great characters on top of it. To sum it up, I totally get why people dislike Legion and in my eyes the first and second games are far superior. Nevertheless, perhaps due to my priorities regarding the aspects of video games or willingness to invest more time into a seemingly lackluster game because of my love for the previous titles, I consider it to be a decent, if not a good video game. To anyone being unsure about picking the game up, I'd reccommed doing so during a sale, where the base games price often falls below 10$.
