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.

Why the fuck is this in r/gaming?

[–]jnatale 162 points163 points ago

the fact that slenderman is now associated with a game kinda pisses me off. I didn't have a problem with the whole thing until that stupid game came out.

[–]Uncoolio 125 points126 points ago

I also liked things that were cool before they were popular. We should hang out. I know a girl.

[–]slartbarg 45 points46 points ago

your wit and sarcasm are so powerful and immense that they sent me back in time to plant the idea in your head to post that comment

I left after the "My boyfriend is a chaos deity" post. That's some weird warhammer shit right there.

It used to be stranger. Now it's all comprehensible and shit.

I prefer /r/thirteenthworldproblems, personally.

[–][deleted] 17 points18 points ago

Slenderman was popular before Slender, but it had a much more mysterious and terrifying feel to it.

[–]del_rio 2 points3 points ago

You seem like an awfully brave fellow. Perhaps we should join in a circle of our own people and jerk?

[–]aroxion 4 points5 points ago

I always knew about slenderman before the game but I never investigated who he was. After the game I investigated his lore and now I know a lot more about slenderman! Sad thing is is the people who only know slenderman from the game. My friend has cousins who only talk about slender and Minecraft and they don't even know what creepy pasta is and thought slenderman originated from slender.

[–]Bronystopheles 25 points26 points ago

Most overrated creepypasta monster ever is now most overrated free online game ever.

I'm wondering why the fuck everyone complains about this post, yet everyone in /r/gaming loves other slenderman stuff. COUGH COUGH

[–]ExplainsYourJoke 0 points1 point ago

Big fucking surprise here. It's going to blow your mind. NOT EVERYBODY ON REDDIT IS THE SAME FUCKING PERSON! WE HAVE OPPOSING THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS. You are trying to point out how hypocritical Reddit is by showing how some people dislike a certain type of post, while other people like it. The people who disliked this post probably disliked the other one too. And you're just butthurt about losing precious karma. How stupid can you get?

[–]ApeCake -1 points0 points ago

I don't give a fuck about karma. If I did, I would post in new askreddit threads. I was just trying to say that this post got a lot of hate, while the other was loved, while it has both not so much related to gaming.

/r/gaming has really gone down the drain in terms of content, this has hardly anything to do with gaming

[–]Eal12333 8 points9 points ago

This has nothing to do with gaming, its the other way around if anything.

[–]coldvault 4 points5 points ago

...Gaming has nothing to do with this?

[–]Eal12333 -1 points0 points ago

Uhh, what?

[–]NinjaInYellow 1 point2 points ago

You essentially said "A doesn't relate to B; in fact, it's the other way around."

What exactly does "It's the other way around" entail? Is it the B does not relate to A, or that A is somehow the opposite of B?

[–]Eal12333 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, I guess.

[–]V2Blast[M] 0 points1 point ago

Indeed.

[–]xelested 2 points3 points ago

Gone? Yeah, because this place used to be such a bastion for great content.

[–]V2Blast[M] 1 point2 points ago

Correct. It's removed now.

[–]KipThunder 15 points16 points ago

r/gaming fucking sucks

[–]totally_not_a_zombie 1 point2 points ago

It does. Nice to find something amusing from time to time, though.

[–]gusborn 8 points9 points ago

Slenderman used to be a creepy story, but the game just killed it.

[–]Eal12333 5 points6 points ago

The game was a cool idea, people are just too stupid to handle it.

[–]Vsei -1 points0 points ago

I agree, it was a cool idea and cool concept, and could've had a lot of promise for a scary game based off of who it is.

However the game, in my opinion, sucked for a scary game. Now, I've played Amnesia, and most horror games. Dead Space, FEAR, Condemned(give it a little credit, it aimed to be spooky), etc. and Slender was the worst of them all. I also tried SCP, when I was still streaming, also found that kind of boring, more of a rush of not knowing what the fuck was going on.

Overall I think I just want an actually scary game, none of given me a good scare effect now, with an exception of a few jumps here and there. One day, one day.

On a side note how is Slender at all scary? I did research into him and never found anywhere that said he was a murder that was out to kill you. It never really described what he does to people, from what I read. Pussies.

[–]Eal12333 0 points1 point ago

Slender basically stalks you and makes you go insane, at least thats what I read.

[–]Baconing_Narwhal 0 points1 point ago

He does what Eal12333 said:

Slender basically stalks you and makes you go insane, at least thats what I read.

And kidnaps children.

[–]Vsei 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, I've read that, but what about people who don't really find him scary? Unless seeing him automatically makes you scared.

[–]VaguelyCondescending 3 points4 points ago

[–]nagas_noillib 2 points3 points ago

Wow, I had completely forgotten about that show.

[–]spoonman12 2 points3 points ago

So we're just pulling pictures from ifunny now?

[–]pissingnettles 2 points3 points ago

Why do people get jumped on and downvoted when they state how unimaginative and not scary this game is?

It leads me to believe that people who are scared of the game are insecure about it or something. Why do peoples opinions rustle you so much?

[–]jakeredfield 7 points8 points ago

Bunch of fucking pussies.

[–]applejack28 2 points3 points ago

If a tall, faceless being approached me in rasta-wear, toting a drum, I'm not even sure how I'd react. I'd freeze in place, not out of fear, but of confusion.

[–]ph00p 2 points3 points ago

Confusion would be from the perpetual pot smoke cloud that follows Slenda Mon.

[–]HarveyMcGhee 2 points3 points ago

DAE nope?

[–]MrHappyface92 0 points1 point ago

Nope

[–]exWakaJawaka 2 points3 points ago

Look, I'm not getting all down on OP, but this subreddit is complete and absolute shit if mods allow this. LOOK MY GF CAN MAKE BLOONS LOOK LIKE VIDYA GAME CHURUCTURS. LOOK FUNNY PUN ON GAME NAME. Jesus, you guys. It is no wonder a once prominent subs is now viewed as one of the worst subs on reddit. Get your shit together. This isn't your video game masturbation sub. It just keeps getting worse and worse.

[–]PostsWhileDrunk 1 point2 points ago

Why is Slender man always associated with gaming? There being games about it doesn't make the thing itself a game.

[–]TakebeSogu 0 points1 point ago

I think this would make a pretty sick mod. The whole static issue when slender is getting close is one thing. But having your screen fog up with blunt smoke would be pretty enjoyable. Excuse this crazy imagination.. Instead of pages you would probably have to steal rolling papers. The final cutscene would have slender passing a blunt and cut to credits. But a man can only dream..

[–]redditor-for-2-hours 0 points1 point ago

He can be found lurking in /r/trees.

[–]ZellnuuEon 0 points1 point ago

Slenderman is not from the game slender.

[–]KeoneShyGuy 0 points1 point ago

I understand the anger towards the game, but i feel it's misguided. The game didn't water down slenderman, it merely introduced him to a wide audience, accidentally I might add. The gy had no intention of the game blowing up like that. Unfortunately, as we all know, once the masses get a hold of something precious, it's doomed to stray away from it's roots. We see this ALL THE TIME on Reddit.

TL;DR: You can keep being mad at the game, but you should really be mad at the people.

[–]OmegaX123 2 points3 points ago

Most people (the ones downvoting, not necessarily the ones actually saying the game sucks) are probably reacting to the fact that Slenderman != the game Slender, and has in fact existed for about 3-4 years previous to the game (or at least to its popularity - but still at least 2-3 years before the game).

[–]ShitsonMcShitinton -2 points-1 points ago

Still, dope.

[–]Arxl -1 points0 points ago

Hey everyone! Slender doesn't scare me and I think Slenderman and everyone who believes in him is stupider than hell! Upvotes to the left for this gem of a comment. Bravery: so in bold and whatnot.

[–]thepolodoc 1 point2 points ago

Let the down votes commence. We don't like tales of bravery in these parts.

[–]Pretiacruento 0 points1 point ago

Slenderman (and everything about that character) just doesn't do it for me. Sorry.

Dude, he's lurking in the forest, don't think he wants to care about you and your tings.

He's clearly looking for his marijuana plants that he grows there.

[–]AxelCaprio -1 points0 points ago

8/10 of these comments is "omfg /r/gaming is such 4 faggots it sucks so badd!11111". Who. The fuck. Cares.

Do you think this subreddit will become better with you just sitting there and complaining? Shut the fuck up and submit your own precious contents. It's your fault /r/gaming is what it is.

[–]UncleTedGenneric -5 points-4 points ago

Right near da beach. Boy-eeee!

[–]Dodgeball456 -4 points-3 points ago

Come on now, the game is free and watching people play is fun, what more do you need from a game to enjoy it? Watch out though, EA is planning a takeover with Extra notes, Premium flashlight batteries, and Slender Woman DLC packs.
