No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

A couple months ago I tried to buy Ghost of Tsushima but in a drunken stupor accidentally bought Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. I didn't realize my mistake until I was like an hour into the game (again, drunk) so when I contacted Playstation trying to get a refund they told me I was ineligible for a refund due to already installing the game (even though it installs immediately after purchase).

So is there any way I can give it to someone else? It's not my type of game and I'll never play it so I'd rather see someone actually play it.

The easy answer is no.

The long answer is, you don't actually own the game.

Maybe if you owned the game. What you own is a license.

[–] MolochAlter@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago

A non-transferable one, at that.

I don't think many gamers have the millions of dollars in their bank account to actually buy a game.

A transferable license like games on physical media would be nice, though. Which you can still do, as far as I can tell.

If it's digital and Playstation refuses to cooperate, I'm afraid it's no dice.

Unless you've played through Sekiro already, you should do so and get your money's worth at least; it's still an amazing game.

As much as I'd like to attempt to play the game, I'm not a fan of the dark souls esque games.

Realistically it's just gonna collect virtual dust I suppose 🤷‍♂️

If you were going to enjoy Ghost of Tsushima you're almost certainly going to enjoy Sekiro. Seriously, give it a go. It's not as intimidating as you think, I promise.

[–] MrBobDobalina@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 days ago

I'm also not a fan of the dark souls games, something compelled me to give Sekiro a try and it's now one of my all time favourites...

Not answering your question here, but how's any of that legal?

[–] simple@lemm.ee 7 points 3 days ago

No, sadly. You can share it with friends via family sharing though.

I find this a bit odd and slightly insulting?

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 10 points 2 days ago

It was meant as funny and slightly insulting. Unless....

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 3 points 2 days ago

It's okay, it'll make sense once you sober up. :)

[–] Resol@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

For physical games: just give them the disk, it's that simple.

For digital games: no. Why? You only own the license, which can (and probably will) expire one day.
