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.

WHOA! Ron Livingston?!? I had to watch the original side by side and it was perfect to what the cat did! This is incredible. How have I not seen this?!

Not being on Reddit 24/7 would be the reason. Congratulations, you probably have a real life!

Preciesly, what the hell is going on here? I don't go to r/gaming for two days, and something non-gaming related happens? I don't have time to sort through this bullshit.

[–]NovaMouser 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The original post was about a guy who got 100$ from some old classmate who stole a charizard pokemon card. After that.... I don't know I was asleep.

EDIT: Looking one post below me at the time I find this to be concise.

[–]DoctorThunder 21 points22 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Seriously. I get that there was the initial post and the "Truth" post, but the second "Truth" post was completely unnecessary, as was the "probably the same person" post.

There was no reason those had to be separate submissions. Make them comments. When I wake up in the morning I don't want five of the top submissions on r/gaming to be some karmawhoring bullshit. I want funny pictures of games, nostalgia and occasionally some news.

[–]snailwithmonocle 7 points8 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The legit guy is new to reddit. Give him a break.

[–]DoctorThunder 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah, but then there's the OR WAS HE? CSI thread that is also completely unnecessary.

I want my fucking Origin-bashing-Steam-fapping-nostalgia-gasming-meme-making-news-giving r/gaming that I know and love.

[–]BeenWildin 10 points11 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Something about charizard stealing 100$ I think

[–]goodbadnomad 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

IIRC, Charizard ordered a portrait of Benjamin Franklin from some high school in California.

[–]Gramma42ton -2 points-1 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah, this shit was tl;dr to begin with. I couldn't be fucking bothered with that crap. I just downvoted anything related to it as soon as it popped up

[–]The_Angry_Gamer 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

This has nothing to do with gaming. Remove it.

[–]jewedbacca 10 points11 points ago

It seems like you give alot of fucks. So much they fill the air as they fall.

[–]StendhalSyndrome 4 points5 points ago

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

Didn't give so many fucks he just had to make a post about it...

[–]AKnightAlone -2 points-1 points ago

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

Ah, now you're a bit confused, sir. He's merely proclaiming the quantity of fucks not given in relation to the trivial battle over shit I decided not to read. In the end, the real winner here is me.

[–]StendhalSyndrome 0 points1 point ago

What's going on? I'm off reddit for a few days and when I get back there is a shitstorm I don't understand.

[–]Prawns 18 points19 points ago*

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

  • Guy A receives a letter from someone who stole a pokemon card many years ago, takes a picture of it and posts it to 4chan.

  • Guy B then takes the 4chan picture and posts it on reddit pretending to be Guy A.

  • Guy A finds out, freaks out and posts more pics as proof of this fraud.

  • Guy C then does some science and speculates that Guy A and Guy B may be the same person. Why? Who knows.

  • Guy D then posts a picture featuring spider-man announcing how little he cares for the current situation.

And then we found ourselves here.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

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

Speaking as Guy C I believe this is a fairly accurate summary.

[–]Proc31 0 points1 point ago

Now if we could return to actual gaming-related content instead of a feud for meaningless karma points between two people we've never heard of, that'd be nice.

[–]BritishHobo 17 points18 points ago

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

So why'd you submit this as a post?

I do agree though. Even without the fact that both users might even be the same guy, it's just pointless, petty shit. After that thing with the Jurassic Park jeep I wish /r/gaming would just grow the fuck up and learn their lesson and stop bandwagonning on to stuff like this.

[–]TwilightVulpine 0 points1 point ago

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

Because he wanted to make it a feud for meaningless karma points among three people.

[–]TheOnlyNeb -3 points-2 points ago

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

Yeah, I hesitated to submit it, especially since this isn't gaming related at all either. But all the other posts about this weren't either and they're still here; I'm just hoping people will stop this crap, although part of me feels like I'm not really helping...

[–]subignition 10 points11 points ago

That shitty justification is why you're a part of the problem.

He wants to reap some of that sweet sweet karma.

[–]fomorian 0 points1 point ago

Meh; when those get taken down, this can get taken down and I'm sure the Op will be happy.

[–]TheOnlyNeb -3 points-2 points ago*

If it bothers you guys that much, I can just delete it; didn't think it was a smart move for me from the get-go.

EDIT: Diddly-done

[–]Sawgon 3 points4 points ago

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

Yeah do that. Make a self post instead of a picture to score free karma.

[–]almightydf 3 points4 points ago

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

Between one guy we've never heard of, rather. Basically one karma whore deleted his account and made a new one to accuse the other one of posing as him in order to gain a huge amount of karma.

[–]strawninja 0 points1 point ago

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

Well, that was worthwhile.

[–]egodeath92 0 points1 point ago

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

It was a stupid post anyway. No one would send $100 over a pokemon card... And it was never r/gaming appropriate because it has nothing to do with video games.

[–]DukeSteele 0 points1 point ago

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

Where else do you propose all of this nonsense goes? Think about it. We have an evil villain, and perhaps two. We have the good guy who deconstructs the mystery. We have unrealistic scenarios, drama aplenty, and points that don't matter.

Son, this is the essence of games. Perhaps you're only interested in secret codes to unlock a level in Gears of Warcraft or whatever it is that you kids waste your time on today; however, if you're a committed "gamer," then you'll pay attention to what is going on, and you'll be damn happy you have it in gaming, right where it belongs.

[–]idwolf 0 points1 point ago

You mean pokemon posts.

[–]hjf11393 3 points4 points ago*

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

I haven't been on Reddit in a few hours, can someone please explain to me what is going on?

Edit: It appears it was about the post about the $100 sent for the stolen Charizard that was on the front page a few hours back. That post has been deleted though, as has the account associated with it.

What's wrong with Spiderman's poses in some of these drawings? Kind of looks like the same derp the bayeux characters have.

Try /r/games. It has worked well for me when /r/gaming is off on a tangent.

[–]aniafaery 0 points1 point ago*

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

In principle I completely agree. But there's this part of me that loves to watch a nice hot mess style trainwreck in the making. This fills that need in an easy to swallow Reddit-shaped pill.

WOW. someone made something up and put it on Reddit and Reddit believed it, Such big news. Like 50% of reddit is not made up for karma.

next time i go out im going to take a sticky pad and draw pictures of the reddit alien and talk about bacon and how cool stuff was 10 years ago and how its gone to shit how. stick it someone you would never think of seeing it, take a picture and post it on reddit saying look what i found in a place you would never think of finding it.

then im going to get my girlfriends phone change its name on my phone and text random funny stuff then screen cap it and post it up for more karma. WAIT, i cannot do that because I DONT HAVE A FUCKING GIRLFRIEND which is the reason im on reddit right now instead of fingering her :-)

but i can make a meme of this and put it on reddit for more karma and at the end of the week i will look at my karma and feel good.

this has turned from a rant into a list. im off out to buy a sticky pad.
