Looking for an image subreddit with minimal rules? Check out /r/images

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

This reminds me of that line from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. "The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones"

When i was very young, i had a dream where i was put in charge of the universe. My experience of this cosmic management was a lot like a very large and omni-dimentional game of tetris. There was the sense of a long time passing as i dutifully arranged the blocks in perfect order. Presently i became aware that near the very beginning i had made one mistake. The result of this mistake was an ever-magnifying distortion in the arrangement of the blocks. I attempted to compensate for this, but in so doing i made more mistakes. I'd ruined the universe.

I woke up, in tears, and to find my parents trying to console me. I tried to explain what i'd seen, unsuccessfully.

If reddit has taught me anything, it's that people will pick apart every detail of of your message and shrug off the overall meaning.

[–]alkalinelito[S,!] 5 points6 points ago

And it was a good multi meaning message :(

You always plan for the straight one, but you always forget there is only a 14.2% (1/7) chance of it showing up.

LINE PIECE!!

[–]kaet 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

when you get one, keep it in the hold chamber. keep two vertical rows on one side empty(also an easy way to get long combos), and when you get another line piece, take the other out of the hold chamber and put them down one after the other. rarely fails.

[–]BreadicalMD 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Word, but this is the way to play. If you're good at tetris, you can easily make a tetris every time, without fail. Occasionally you will screw yourself over, but a good player knows how to avoid those situations, or to fix them when they arise.

[–]PapaTua 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's hard to fix things when you get 24 S pieces in a row. I mean, you can minimize the damage, but sometimes you just don't get the right pieces.

[–]keatsta 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

This is why most Tetris games these days use a randomization system known as 7-bag. It's called this because the pieces are sent to you as if they're being pulled randomly out of a bag containing one of each piece. When the bag is emptied it's refilled. This means that in every set of 7 pieces, each piece appears once and situations like the one you described can't occur. If you play a game with this version, you can play forever.

[–]BreadicalMD -2 points-1 points ago

You're right, but that doesn't happen. If it does, you're playing the evil version of tetris, the one that gives you the worst piece possible at any given time. Frankly, a good tetris player should only lose when speed gets the better of him. If you play right, there is no such thing as a wrong piece.

[–]PapaTua 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I suppose you're right. As long as the pieces aren't falling once a second, it's pretty easy to manage situations like that long enough to clear out the backlog. That is the challenge of the game non? Learning to fix those problems AS FAST as possible.

I've probably played a few thousand hour of tetris and consider myself pretty good but eventually I alwayas lose.

I CHALLENGE YOU SIR!!!!!

For real though, I rarely meet someone who is actually great at tetris. Props, and I'd love to kick your ass sometime.

[–]beardpudding 0 points1 point ago

I'll take up that challenge. I'm really great at tetris. like, competition-worthy good.

What version do you play?

[–]beardpudding 1 point2 points ago

either on the ps3 or on tetrisfriends.com

[–]keatsta 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'll play you on tetrisfriends, if you want. My ID is keatsta. I've always been curious about what tetris players are on reddit. There should be some sort of league or something.

I guess Tetris didn't teach subject-verb agreement or proper sentence construction.

Grammar Nazi disclaimer: This is the original spanish quote: "Si algo me ha enseñado el Tetris es que los errores se acumulan y los triunfos desaparecen" [did my best translating]

Wait soyou stole the quote from some spanish speaker, and now you're all pissed that xanathos stole from you? karmakarma2

[–]alkalinelito[S,!] 3 points4 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I didn't stole , a co-worker said it to me, and he is aware of this.

Besides it was a first on reddit, we are talking about reddit inter-stealing

I'm piss because, reddit trash my post because of grammar rather than meaning, I'm piss because xanthos didn't wait at least a day, I'm piss because he even used same link (no shame).

Like Spazit said: "Reposting something that got 400+ upvotes in /r/pics 15 hours ago into /r/reddit.com without even rehosting it on imgur"

is fuckin low

[–]davidrools 1 point2 points ago

If this is true, then I am the master of letting errors pile up only to clear them all with one swift stroke of skill and patience.

If Tetris taught me anything, it's how to pack a U-Haul to the brim in an organized manner.

If tetris has taught me anything, it's that I now have the ability to fit far more into the dishwasher than my Wife can.

I often let things pile up in an organized fashion and then finish them all at once for the largest return.

It is also a slightly more enjoyable way to load a UPS tractor trailer.

While that may be true, you need to keep making accomplishments to stay in the game.

The lesson I learned, it's that no matter how hard you try, how good you are, you can't live forever.

...Then beat Tetris DS. I saw the credits roll, and my mind was blown.
