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.

"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.

Playing game in total silence.

End of game; important dialogue starts, not sure if pause will skip to credits.

A wild girlfriend appears with important things to tell me.

[–]PeepDip 8 points9 points ago

Important? Since when? 90% of the time it is just rambling.

[–]Warpedme 14 points15 points ago

Important to her. Which translates to "important to you if you want to get laid later".

10% of the time it's crucial information that coincides with gaming.

my girlfriend has an amazing knack for coming in during anything i am interested in and has reached a climactic moment. doesn't matter if i'm reading, gaming, watching a movie, or whatever the fuck.

This picture made a good post in /r/tf2 where the giraffe hat actually meant something.

BTW, this caption is much better.

I don't care if you are trying to repost. My post is more important, anyways.

I'm pretty sure this is Marshall Rosenberg, the inventor of Non-Violent Communication. He uses giraffes and jackals to illustrate different modes of communication. He's actually a really interesting character and obviously doesn't take himself too seriously. Check out the clips on youtube.

When I saw the original of this repost I spent a whole day watching Nonviolent Communication videos on Youtube. Made me feel like a changed man.

I can't tell you how many times a day I think this.

[–]shawnaroo 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I feel this way constantly at the office trying to get actual work done.

[–]MrQuantum 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Sometimes I would prefer the lonely cube to a "group think" room, but other times it's nice for collaboration.

[–]shawnaroo 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The "open floor plan" office is one of those things that sounds great when you think about your work the way you wish it was. Discussing your projects with your coworkers, debating various issues until the best solutions are agreed upon. Collaboration allowing everyone to bounce their ideas off of everyone else, and creating a useful positive energy.

But in reality, everyone is so busy with their own work that they don't have the time to discuss your projects, your ears have a direct line to at least 3 people talking on the phone at any given time, and 90% of the work that you actually need to get done involves sitting at a computer and trying to focus.

Ideally, a nice quiet room would allow me to get all of that work done in 1/3 of the time it takes me in the loud open office, then I could spend one of those extra 1/3 of the day collaborating or something, and the last 1/3 sleeping in.

[–]MrQuantum 0 points1 point ago

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

This is when a good pair of closed-ear headphones do wonders. I pop my hd280s on and I instantly become more productive. If only I could somehow perfect the art of sleeping while sitting at a desk...

[–]shawnaroo 1 point2 points ago

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

Yeah, I've tried that, but then the problem is when I get a phone call or somebody needs me for something I don't notice and then people start getting cranky about it.

And personally, I focus better in just plain quiet. Music is better than lots of noise for sure, but quiet is better.

With racing games, I tend to play better if someone is talking to me. Somehow it takes the pressure off and helps me do well.

Then again, sometimes I fuck up and just shout "NIPPLE" a lot.

[–]Erickarkos 0 points1 point ago

The worst is when you get a call and you're doing really good. I always just want to throw my phone against the wall when that happens.

I do this any time any two people talk to me in any situation, ever. I can't even just tune into one of them, I just get complete static.

Just because I'm not in a room with someone does not mean I'm not having a legitimate conversation with them. I have a headset on for a reason, stop interrupting me.

I sometimes feel that way, but mostly when people are trying to tell me what I should try next. Seriously mom, how much experience saving the world from the impending quantum space slug invasion do you have?

[–]jimmytickles -2 points-1 points ago

I almost laughed, and then I remember that a lot of us probably play games so much that ANYTIME someone is trying to talk to us we are playing a game. Then I got sad. . . I'm sorry family.
