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.

Isnt that entire map based on the real environment? So technically they're right about having seen it?

[–]everyZig -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Probably, the Stalker games also have a pretty realistic map of the chernobyl/pripyat area, but that isnt my point, these kiddies talk about it likes it's CTF_FACE or something.

Thanks for info! All I could find said "Chernobyl" in the info, but more accuracy won't hurt anybody.

I know it's supposed to be "shitty" but there's actually something kind of great about it. Something about the starkness of the little person in the middle.

I though there was still a lot of radioactivity in some areas but, that it is safe enough to take tours of.

[–]gahane 1 point2 points ago

Cool place, was there in October.

[–]_doom 1 point2 points ago

Seeing all those people in the first shot almost makes the place lose its mystique. I've heard it is becoming easier and easier to get in as a tourist.

Did you bring a geiger counter? Were your clothes radiated from the trip?

[–]gahane 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's very eerie how quite the place is, even with a bus load of tourists. I didn't bring a counter but I ended up hanging on to the guides one. Quite low levels really. As for the clothes, I wore old jeans and Doc Martins then ditched them that night so I didn't have to worry about tracking any radioactive dust or dirt.

[–]_doom 0 points1 point ago

It sounds awesome and is still on my bucket list. I love the contrast between the pinnacle of human ingenuity, at the time, and nature slowly taking it back. I'm sure it is surreal.

[–]gahane 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It is that. What else is on your bucket list?

[–]_doom 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

A short list would include the french catacombs, son doong cave, backpack through Zion, Tokyo fish market, visit Place du Forum and other sites of Van Gogh's paintings. It is a big list...

[–]gahane 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Intersting. I've passed on the Fish Market as I don't like Sushi and must do the catacombs tour next time I'm in Paris. The Van Goghs are pretty cool but I preferred the Monet's, plus, dark, crowded room versus bright airy gallery.

I'm always facinated by peoples bucket lists as they're usually fairly well thought out. Have a major bug in my ass about all the "50 things to do before you die" or places to see. They're always so specific and make you feel like you'll be a loser if you don't see one specific place. I can never understand why they don't just go for trying to describe what experiences or emotional responses to get from travelling. I've seen lists talk about visiting Gettysburg or the Somme. Why not just say "visit a well documented battlefield where a lot of people died in a very short space of time but which influenced history. Or something like that.

that look EXACTLY like call of duty 4, its kinda insane how close it is

The game develpoers actually went here and took hundreds of photos them reconstructed them into the game, would be so cool to go there and see the real thing

[–]gahane -1 points0 points ago

Yeah, I was scoping out where the chopper would land, where Makarov was standing etc.

I came here to see STALKER references. Saw one STALKER and about 20 CoD references. :(

I miss COD4. Best FPS I've ever played.

Come at me downvotes. How dare I have an opinion outside the majority.

[–]naidiriv 1 point2 points ago

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

unfortunately nothing about COD is outside the majority

[–]EarsOfRage 1 point2 points ago

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

CoD4 is still my favourite FPS. I think what I liked most about it was that after so many years of playing Halo, to be able to kill someone when you saw them was a nice change of pace.

[–]Erythroy 0 points1 point ago

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

OMG downvoted! CoD2 still has the best gameplay.

Damn it took me a long time to pass that level on hard! Was it Modern warfare 1?

[–]skc132 0 points1 point ago

Yup. The best MW imo.

[–]withmorten -2 points-1 points ago

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

Hah yeah. Best tactic: Dont even try to fight em. Camp on the forward right, in that one corner next to the easter egg doors, save your flashbangs, once the choppers there, use them, run like hell and everything. Way easier then even trying to fight them :D

[–]yorko 1 point2 points ago

You know it's a war game, right? Shooting bad guys is all the fun.

[–]withmorten 0 points1 point ago

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

Its not fun if they spam you with 50k+ nades. Thats why World At War on Veteran isnt fun either, its pretty hard work.

Really, the way I played it those guys didnt do anything about me, since they didnt know where I was. It surely is the easiest way apart from using Cheats (I mean the ingame cheats) to get through that mission on Veteran.

I imagine Chernobyl/Pripyat to be disturbingly beautiful. It got deserted because of a tragedy, but now it's so silent, but always covered in the cowl of death.

Any takers?
