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.

for future reference my friend, to select a specific time in a youtube video at the end of the URL type #t=00m00s (but replace the 00 with the times in minutes/seconds) so in this case it would be #t=01m40s

[–]MewsClues 2 points3 points ago

... or pause the video and right click, then 'Copy video URL at current time'.

[–]th3shark 2 points3 points ago

I actually have a robe like that

[–]AshuraSpeakman 1 point2 points ago

Is it as comfy as it looks? Because that robe looks damn comfy.

[–]Akiba89 1 point2 points ago

OH GORD, PREPARE FOR THE TSUNAMI OF DIRTY PMs.

[–]DonaldJDarko -1 points0 points ago

At first I was confused because I knew that I hadn't posted the fact that I'm a girl anywhere on reddit lately. Then I clicked "parent" and I realised what it was about, haha.

So confused for a second there.

    FUCK YOU. Show that sign in Rocket territory, and you're gonna come to in a Pokemon Center.

    [–]Zexis 2 points3 points ago

    Mmhm. All I see is a young, happy kid with his Pokemon :)

    [–]daRoach -1 points0 points ago

    Could be, because it sure as fuck isn't the Vulcan salute.

    How many times do I have to say it? MOTHERFUCKING THUMB OUT PEOPLE!! GOD DAMMIT!!!!

    [–]ORIGINAL_MAMMOTH 181 points182 points ago

    This picture makes me happy. It's a kid who is having fun and being involved with a hobby.

    Why would you post this in /r/gaming with that title?

    [–]iarespiff 52 points53 points ago

    OP can't spell "coolest" correctly, so he is probably 12 and thinks its cool to make fun of people who have fun doing what they do.

    [–]mems_account 10 points11 points ago

    If you look at OP's history most of his post are about Pokemon. I think he just made this post in a friendly sort of way and wasn't actually trying to mock anyone.

    [–]albequirky 0 points1 point ago

    Well he was trying to mock, but still in a friendly way.

    It seems the thug life chose him as well.

    [–]darthjammer224 8 points9 points ago

    The thug life never chooses me. :(

    I dont know about you guys, but I just asked for a shout out

    [–]stormclaw11 0 points1 point ago

    It actually looks pretty old, about 5 years, maybe 6 years ago.

    [–]TowawayAccount 13 points14 points ago

    Good guess but incorrect. If you zoom in on the second row of cards in the picture (white/colorless cards) you can see a promo Pidove which was first released in 2011.

    Purest: Untainted

    Purist: Person who ruins things for other people because it doesn't conform to their restrictive standards.

    /Hypocritical Humor

    [–]JTMTL 2 points3 points ago

    pur·ist (pyrst) n. One who practices or urges strict correctness, especially in the use of words. Edit: Talk about you being on the mark.

    [–]Razarazz 5 points6 points ago

    Because its funny? It isn't impossible to share your feelings on this picture and see the humour in the title too. Lighten up...

    [–]reddittarded 2 points3 points ago

    That title is kinda expected coming from /r/gaming.

    [–]tentrevor 2 points3 points ago

    Because it's a trading card GAME based off a gameboy color GAME. duhhhhh

    [–]Seeders 0 points1 point ago

    OP is the kid in the photo.

    [–]Pimp_69 -1 points0 points ago

    I feel like this picture would sooo much better if he was sitting a big mahogany desk with his Pokemon cards on the desk with a glass of scotch on the rocks, a pipe in his mouth and an actual pikachu in his arms. But oh we'll I guess

      Guys I wasn't trying to offend anyone or anything, it's just a picture of me as a kid and my mum found it recently, what is the problem?

      [–]Eggfibre 0 points1 point ago

      How old are you now? Also, I had that dressing gown. I'm guessing you're from the Uk?

      [–]EBrailey 0 points1 point ago

      yes i am and i am 15 now :)

      [–]Stijakovic 0 points1 point ago

      What were you doing with your hand?

      [–]V2Blast[M] 0 points1 point ago

      Note: generally, it's not a good idea to hotlink an image hosted on Facebook directly, especially if it's your picture - it's possible to find your profile that way. Rehost on imgur or some other site in the future.

      [–]no_numbers_in_name 68 points69 points ago

      Dude doesn't have single Charizard.

      Does he even lift?

      [–]really_epic_name 5 points6 points ago

      Could be next to the Charmeleon. There's a fire-type hidden next to it.

      My first reaction as well.

      [–]richIsBored 6 points7 points ago

      Wow. This kid looks just like my nephew. I've decided to print this photo, frame it, and hang it somewhere in his house. Then we just wait to see how he reacts when he finds it.

      [–]LimpDickedGorilla -1 points0 points ago

      And the award for creepy uncle of the year goes tooooo......richIsBored!! For his submission of placing a framed photograph of his nephew's doppelganger in the nephew's house!

      Ladies... contain your orgasms, please.

      [–]sohautrightnow 4 points5 points ago

      He should get those cards in sleeves and a binder.

      [–]shogun_ 6 points7 points ago

      OG life is a short one for bitch ass sleeves and binders.

      [–]Albierio 1 point2 points ago

      I don't see a 1st edition Charizard in there.

      Real G's rock the 1st edition Charizard.

      [–]demonicwalrus21 8 points9 points ago

      He has a first gen charmander and charmeleon. It might be under that big pile of cards in the middle, because I can only barely make out the charmeleon card and he seems to have more or less grouped them by evolution.

      ... I need a life

      Why does this photo scream out for the inclusion of the Pedobear in the background?

      Because even when Pedobear closes his mouth he is always screaming. At children.

      [–]startselect3 0 points1 point ago

      Congrats Ladies, if you have seen the manliness that has taken form of this child and weren't able to handle the intake of all the testosterone radiating from it, you were instantly inseminated by it which should take the form of biblical Samson who will, in fact, be the best there ever was.
