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.

Just keep hitting those F5 keys, that has to help right? Right?

I'm definitely helping the issue by going to confirm that the server is down for myself.

Irrelevant contribution here, but funnily enough that is what happened in my toilet about 5 minutes ago.

I took a dump earlier, it was like a fucking shotgun blast. Mainly gas and air, but did make a thunderous sound and give a very evenly distributed coverage of the pan.

It was actually quite stressful. Cleanup took about five minutes, it was like hot tar.

The end of the funny is a good place to do so.

I thought something was wrong with my internet! It says this: "Error 503 Service Unavailable".

I've got that problem as well. I think they put the best games for today because they knew noone could buy them since their servers would explode. I try to buy my Fallout 3, NV and Just Cause 2, great games but I cant do much if I cant buy them.

That moment when you know what gif it is, but enjoy it so much that you click anyway.

Posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just title

Sorry dude. Funny submission though

Is there a sale on or something to cause said explosion ?

[–]FR4UDUL3NT 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Is there a sale on EVERYTHING to cause said explosion ?

[–]HeadbangsToMahler 1 point2 points ago

Oh.

I don't know why the hell they make a big sale like that with those servers, I can't open the store and neither the community pages without having a 503 error, I wanted to buy a couple of games but I rather wait a bit if it keeps like that, I can't even access my inventory and trade stuff, this is terrible.

It's not the server's fault; it's the software that handles the requests. There's a few server software that can handle at most 10k requests, but it's still a problem.
