Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports).

"Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.


Posting Rules

  • Posts must be directly gaming-related. Thus, "generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission; similarly, reaction GIFs are also not appropriate as submissions.

  • Following Reddiquette is encouraged

  • No "general" URL shorteners (bitly, tinyurl, etc). Single-site URL shorteners (such as youtu.be or fav.me) are allowed.

  • No game or product giveaway of any kind

  • NSFW submissions and comments must be labeled

  • Spoilers can be posted using the following formatting:
    [X Kills Y](/spoiler)
    Result: X Kills Y.

  • To mark a spoiler as relevant to a specific game/topic, use the alternate formatting:
    [Player 1 wins](/spoiler "Pong")
    Result:
    Player 1 wins

  • Report posts containing spoilers not using the above method

  • Don't post users' personal information.

Submission Rules

Is your post not showing up? Do not delete it. Wait 5 minutes to give AutoModerator a chance to look at it; it approves most submissions automatically. If it hasn't shown up after more than 5 minutes, simply message the moderators and ask us to let it through.

I knew the date was familiar. Here's to Y2k for a great ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOu2vqqPVqQ

So that explains why my Skyrim Cloud files is dated Jan. 1, 1970. Also how do you fix it?

[–]Intrepid00 -1 points0 points ago

Is your windows copy legit and you are not fucking with the time and date to get past activation? Or just by accident you somehow have your date before 1969? Windows uses a 64bit integer unlike unix and it tracks 100ns since 1601.

Oh another one of these threads.

It is because the database uses the type timestamp, a timestamp counts since 1st january 1970 at 00.00. as a integer or long int, so timestamp=0 is equivalent to that date.

Yeah, i typed the time/date into google and it popped up the Unix Epoch. I thought it was interesting. I linked the wiki page in the comments.

I'm trying to imagine what Torchlight 2 would look like played on a computer from '69...
