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.

Stop! You violated the (reddit) law! 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.

Wrong! reaction GIFs are also not appropriate as submissions. :)

Distinguish this comment too :P

[–]V2Blast[M] 1 point2 points ago

Indeed. But also what pastanate said.

[–]CaptnAwesomeGuy 0 points1 point ago

This is r/gaming. If you were here for actual gaming content you're in the wrong place. Try r/games.

[–]SageOfTheWise 4 points5 points ago

its literally the first rule of r/gaming. In bold. Yes even this subreddit has standards.

[–]CaptnAwesomeGuy 0 points1 point ago

That no one listens to. This isn't much of a surprise, but I really can't stand this subreddit. 10% is good, but the other 90% is literally gems and pokemon and getting karma for posting old games as nolstagia. Compared to r/games... holy shit.

[–]V2Blast[M] 0 points1 point ago

We try to enforce a minimum standard of relevance to gaming here; for quality, yeah, /r/Games is better.

[–]V2Blast[M] 0 points1 point ago

Correct.

From the posting rules, read them OP.

[–]pastanate 0 points1 point ago

Correct

I was wondering why it wasnt green, thanks

Gave my little bro the controls for Flight Simulator X last night.

It took all of me just to let him get the hang of the game on his own without bitching at him.

[–]Chad_Worthington_3rd 2 points3 points ago

Fluff, delete this shit.

[–]tHeSiD -1 points0 points ago

You need to show her the way!

[–]david-me -1 points0 points ago

I would beat my GF at games until it came time to play her games. NBA Jams, sigh, she was unbeatable.

[–]coffeman3 -3 points-2 points ago
