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.

I'm surprised you didn't attach your street team link to make a bunch of free money.

IM NOT HERE TO MAKE MONEY

[–]FrankVice 1 point2 points ago

That's like walking by a $20 bill on the ground and saying, "I'm here to walk, God dammit, not pick up free money off the ground."

It's more like choosing not to trick people into clicking a link that gives you money

[–]FrankVice 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

But that's the whole point of the link. If you bring in more traffic and potential buyers, they reward you. If you're posting a link to a t-shirt a lot of people might buy, you're doing exactly what you're being paid to do. Whether you include the link or not will not change the people's mind about purchasing the t-shirt.

Same here. My girlfriend bought it for me without realizing it was pacman and I didn't realize for a couple months. Then one day I noticed his helmet and it hit me.

After something has appeared on a character's t-shirt in the previous season of a hit comedy about a group of friends in a community college, I would have to say it's probably a repost.

Why content.ytmnd? Why not just link to the actual site?

[–]mlikweblue 0 points1 point ago

It's been edited. The original is a t- shirt, not a gif

[–]SvenHudson 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Right but the way YTMND works is a gif and a sound and he just linked to the gif from the database. Why not the full page?

In 1976, Cosmonaut Nikolai Peckmann was sent alone to an orbiting space station for what would be called Mission Six- to study the radiation levels and strange circumstances that killed all four crewmen of the last research mission.

By the third day, Peckmann's broken transmissions were coming back to ground control filled with increasing paranoia and delusion. He claimed that the spirits of the dead cosmonauts were coming to claim him, and that he had to keep moving to evade them. He shouted that if he could capture consume these spirits himself while he still had strength, he could move to the next level of consciousness...Truly the rantings of an insane man.

Indeed, video recovered later would show Peckmann running around the confined but maze-like station, downing emergency sedatives like a madman....pausing in a corner momentarily, only to throw back vitamin pills and give chase to his invisible demons.

He had exhausted the entire cargo of vitamins, pills, and fresh fruit well ahead of schedule. There was no way another crew could be assembled to rescue him before he starved. After one rather violently garbled transmission, the static cleared and the last live image on record is that of Peckmann's empty, wilted spacesuit on the cabin floor.

It was determined that another mission to recover any remains or gather any more research would be a waste of the people's money, and the station was allowed to drift out of orbit and into space- a failure never to be mentioned again. It was ordered and assumed that all video and paper evidence had been destroyed.

..then, at the dawn of the eighties, a fledgling arcade game company called NAMCO would stumble across the transcripts of these events, and the rest -as they say- is history.

Hey! I have that shirt! I need to start wearing it more.

Also, no, I didn't buy it because of Community. I bought it quite a while ago.

My girlfriend bought me this exact image in the form of a screen printed shirt from a random shop in Istanbul.

I never thought I'd see it outside of that.
