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.

Some of those bugs are hilarious. I remember how long it took for me to marry my Orc husband because every time I tried Lydia would show up just before the wedding, dead in her underwear. Everyone was super pissed at me...I still remember the looks of horror and the "How could you?"s

To be fair, it'd be difficult to check for a repost unless he did a reverse-search for the image (one of those exists specifically for Reddit, right?).

I honestly have nothing against reposts really. I was just linking an answer to his question about a reverse image search engine for reddit. I'm of the opinion that if enough people upvote a supposed repost, there's nothing you can do about it but downvote and move on.

[–]Rediquetter 12 points13 points ago

Brothers of Reddit, let us not forget the code. After all, the most reposted comment on reddit is "repost".

Don't Complain about other users reposting stories, images, videos, or any other content. Users should give credit where credit should be given, but if someone fails to do so, and is not causing harm whatsoever, please don't point it out. They are only earning karma, which has little to no use at all.

[–]captainmcr 0 points1 point ago

Rediquiqte or whatever is only a set of guidelines

[–]ooo_shiny 4 points5 points ago

To be fair the other times it was reposted it was a different joke. I have seen it about various other companies but not Bethesda. Which isn't to say the Bethesda one hasn't been posted before, it just didn't come up in searches I did.

[–]RetroViruses 0 points1 point ago

I've been wondering about that lately. Was QA testing better in the old days, or does the sheer complexity of the systems make them prone to breaking? Or, does nobody care because DLC? Is it financially a bad idea to hold a game back until it's perfect?

[–]LazyJoeJr 13 points14 points ago

How it has always been explained to me (software engineering student), is that development gets to a point where it needs to be released, enough if bugs exist. A lot of times, these bugs are known. If you know you have a bug that 5% of users will experience, it might be easier to fix it later and release now, rather than delay the entire release. As far as QA being better in the past, I don't believe that is true. At the very least we have much better tools to use. We also learn from the mistakes of the past. So I would say that complexity does play a large part.

[–]g4m3k33p3r 3 points4 points ago

Been in QA testing for many years, on a few large titles (Microsoft on Gears 3, Fable III) and with smaller companies now. This is correct. The bugs are known, but are not fixed due to other more pressing issues, or simply lack of time before the given release date.

Final builds can take a week or more (lots and lots of overtime hours) to fully pass off as acceptable for release on larger games. Almost always there is work being done to get a day 1 title update with other known issues that are being put off until later patches. Microsoft specifically requires the development studios to pass their certification testing which, if failed, means hefty fines and a new version. Due to the long process to fully test the builds it can take a while before even pretty obvious stuff is patched out.

QA testing is definitely a big deal now, and is not worse than it used to be by any means. AAA titles that release these days are massive, and have an unreal amount of time put into testing. The complexity of the games are definitely the reason for these issues slipping through.

[–]EltaninAntenna 1 point2 points ago

Thanks for bringing some reality to this conversation, and thanks for doing your job - QA are the unsung heroes of game development. In the best studios, they don't just test, they actively help the designers during production.

[–]g4m3k33p3r 1 point2 points ago

Thank you. It means a lot to get recognition in QA. Not many people understand the complexity of our interaction with the designers when working on a game -- many think all we do is play games and report miscellaneous issues.

[–]p8ssword 5 points6 points ago

That's funny. Daggerfall and other X-ngine games had a bug where you could fall through the floor in a dungeon. As one review said, you had to "save wisely and save often." I laugh when people complain of bugs in Skyrim. They seem pretty minor to me.

[–]ooo_shiny 1 point2 points ago

I've experienced a fall through the the floor in a dungeon bug in Skyrim, I somehow had the walls and associated collision detection fail to load so I just fell.

Morrowind had a habit of making my OS (Win ME) die randomly.

I got maybe an average of 20 minutes of gameplay.

[–]Langly- 7 points8 points ago

You managed to keep Windows ME running for 20 minutes? Damned I didn't think that was possible.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Without Morrowind running it could last about 3 hours. With Win XP Morrowind itself could last 3 hours without crashing.

Either way though, it is rare to get a full day of continuous gaming!

[–]Langly- 1 point2 points ago

I'll admit something. I have committed a terrible terrible sin with windows ME. When I lacked a proper router for a while I did something, something terrible.

I used Windows ME ICS to share my internet connection. Using a Pentium Pro 180mhz system with 48mb ram, and did not reboot the thing for 2 months. It added 300-400ms to my ping. I am forever tainted by this.

[–]reallynotnick 4 points5 points ago

In the old days you couldn't easily patch games, and on game consoles it was impossible except to release a new cart/disk. I actually find it interesting that there are multiple versions of N64 games with a few glitches patched but people who bought the game early on can't do anything about it except to get a newer cart, but even then usually the glitches were pretty minor.

[–]Annieone23 2 points3 points ago

A lot of old games have fractured speed run divisions because of this actually!

It can make a big difference in difficulty and skill when one cart could let you glitch through half the game while one couldn't, or one ran at 20 fps in most spots while the other was at 26, etc etc.

[–]corpsefireNL 0 points1 point ago

[–]Pyromaniac605 2 points3 points ago

In Bethesda's case it's due to two things, the massive scale of their games, and their terrible choice of engine.

[–]D3PyroGS 0 points1 point ago

What do you mean? I thought it was their engine.

[–]Pyromaniac605 2 points3 points ago

Gamebryo wasn't theirs, Creation is an upgraded version of Gamebryo.

[–]Spekingur 1 point2 points ago

I work as a software tester (claiming to be QA is silly nowadays). In my experience there is very little understanding by the top branch of what needs to be done in either programming or testing. Marketing has taken up the part of being "in control" of programming and deciding when something needs to be released and they normally have no fucking clue about programming/testing and the troubles programmers and testers have to go through. Nor do they care.

[–]Chicago31 0 points1 point ago

Halo 2 had over two million bugs. It's simply not feasible (and probably really, really close to impossible) to make a bugless game. A game like Skyrim is far more complicated than Halo 2, and it's simply not possible to fix everything.

[–]Snuffz 0 points1 point ago

It's less the fact it's dead more the fact it's a fucking huge game and if it's even 70% functional it's damn good.

[–]EltaninAntenna 0 points1 point ago

Basically, people are going to run into more bugs in 500 hours of gameplay than in 7. That, and the systems being enormously more complex than in your average corridor shooter, of course.

[–]ofNoImportance -1 points0 points ago

It's definitely a complexity thing, seeing as almost all the bugs are caused by game systems failing to interact properly in certain situations. Even if you have a team of 100 working on finding bugs in QA for 6 months, you'll have spend less time on finding bugs than the players will find 3 minutes of collective play time. The number of ways the player can manipulate the game increases exponentially given the wealth of freedom, something that didn't exist back when.

[–]jdrc07 -5 points-4 points ago

Blizzard has been pretty consistent in releasing nearly bug-free games.

They're proof that it's still possible to release a quality product, even if it lacks chatrooms.

[–]boobers3 2 points3 points ago

Yeah but it also takes Blizzard a decade to release a new title.

[–]uncaringbear 2 points3 points ago

Yeh, Rock 'n' Roll Racing was pretty bug free.

[–]Krystie 0 points1 point ago

it's sad that you're getting downvoted for saying the truth.

Bethesda really is one of the worst AAA devs when it comes to QA. Blizzard is well-known for making polished releases, and not being forced into shitty deadlines when their product isn't ready.

Everyone on reddit seems to jump on the blizzard hate bandwagon, kinda funny that 4chan does the same thing.

[–]BBmachine 6 points7 points ago

Skyrim is such a large game, you would have no idea how long it would take to fix those bugs. Some gamers have no idea the process a game goes through

[–]Snuffz 4 points5 points ago

A game the scale of the TES games that's even 70% functional is damn good, and it's definitely more than that.

[–]Smorsh 3 points4 points ago

If they never tested their games there would be no dev console.

[–]Brutal_Angel 1 point2 points ago

Red Dead's Bugs was the shit. Have you ever been chase by a horse that it's huffs up to fight but would just follow till you leave town? Nightmares will due, and cheetah men to kill.

[–]mooseifer69 0 points1 point ago

I never got any bugs :( (aside from the one where the door gets stuck to your head as you open it) I DID get one though, where my horse was hit by a train and it kept spinning into the air until it disappeared.

[–]Brutal_Angel 0 points1 point ago

It been updated since two months been out so think only way to see them again was to play without never updating.

[–]master_of_none 25 points26 points ago

Maybe I'm just really unobservant, but I've noticed almost no bugs besides minor graphical glitches here and there that you would see in any game.

[–]krymourn5 17 points18 points ago

The first time I played Skyrim I saw 2 Mammoths fall out of the sky and die, and another Mammoth randomly turned into two. They weren't game-breaking luckily, just hilarious.

[–]Pyromaniac605 0 points1 point ago

And those are the types of bugs that Bethesda say they keep in intentionally, maybe they overlooked it, but since it's hilarious and not ruining your game, they probably won't patch it. That is one of many reasons why Bethesda are awesome.

[–]TheGOPkilledJesus 16 points17 points ago

Sounds like lazy excuses for not actually fixing bugs to me.

[–]Pyromaniac605 0 points1 point ago

What reason to they have to fix a bug that doesn't affect the game and is funny to watch?

[–]LazyGit 1 point2 points ago

It does affect the game. It is game-breaking. There is supposed to be a sense of immersion. The quests you're involved in are supposed to grip you. Then you see mammoths fall out of the sky. This isn't Saint's Row, it's supposed to be a serious game so waving away complaints about stuff like this because it's funny doesn't really cut it.

[–]Pyromaniac605 2 points3 points ago

You're not very fun. If I saw Mammoth's falling out of the sky, I'd be too busy laughing my ass off to give a shit about my immersion being broken. Besides, who's to say some sorcerer didn't summon them in the sky? If you don't want your immersion broken by little bugs, make up some in-universe explanation and move on.

[–]Sproutykins 0 points1 point ago

Since when were Bethesda games serious?

There is always some sort of facetious tongue-in-cheek humour around the game...

[–]Tavish_Degroot 13 points14 points ago

PS3 user here. I've heard it's the worst version of the game but still, I've literally never had a save file past ~6 hours because once I do the game freezes so often it's unplayable.

[–]laddergoat89 4 points5 points ago

That is a massive bug with te PS3 version, when your save file gets over a certain size (i.e. a certain length into the game) it dies on its arse.

Have they not fixed that yet?

[–]clarkcb 4 points5 points ago

They fixed it last month. I'm a PS3 user here was actually able to finish the game. I'm never buying a Bethesda game at launch again, Skyrim was the worst console experience I have EVER had.

[–]SvenHudson 1 point2 points ago

"finish"?

[–]Ozymandiazz 0 points1 point ago

I haven't bought Skyrim yet because of that bug. Have they fixed it completely? Hows the framerate overall?

[–]azorin 1 point2 points ago

Quicksave must be your friend then.

[–]dmanbiker 5 points6 points ago

Bethesta has been notorious for releasing buggy games since long before Skryim.

When playing Oblivion or even Morrowind (I'm pretty sure even Daggerfall had its share of bugs) you'll still run into some utterly absurd game glitches, even when running unofficial patches and such that fix literally thousands of little bugs.

Bethesta's games are also notorious for being very good and the glitches you experience are often rather humorous and don't ruin gameplay, so it's not too much of a negative really. Especially on PC where really bad bugs can be taken out by the community.

[–]SummaDatPurpleStuff 1 point2 points ago

[–]zorggi3 1 point2 points ago

same thing on the ps3 here. it's absolutely hilarious.

SUDDENLY GOATS

[–]ooo_shiny 2 points3 points ago

Go get splatted by giant and watch the physics engine bug out and launch you so far in to the air you can see the whole world.

[–]TroutM4n 2 points3 points ago*

Well I've seen quite a few errors on 360 - once the floor of a room totally disappeared leaving a bluish infinity I could fall into that would spawn me walking into the room... to fall into the blue infinity.

That and the only things that actually bother me - Fucking quest glitches. Either you pick up an item before initiating the quest it's a part of and you now cannot begin the quest, you just have to figure out how to complete it.... or the quest nav point glitches out and won't let you accomplish the next task in the sequence. You're left with a waypoint that dead-ends behind a wall and no way to complete the quest.

[–]Sylocat 1 point2 points ago

I take it you don't have the PS3 version.

[–]clarkcb 0 points1 point ago

As a PS3 user, Skyrim at launch was the worst console experience I have ever had. The game became unplayable for me after about 60 hours of gameplay. I will never buy a Bethesda game at launch again. The fact that I paid $60 to essentially be in a beta program left me with a very sour taste in my mouth for Bethesda.

[–]RandomObj3ct 0 points1 point ago

Some of us have been really lucky, when I wasn't playing with mods and the console I didn't have any serious bugs, I managed to even complete all the quest lines with no difficulty.

[–]manfred_wellington -1 points0 points ago

The PC version was unplayable for a shitload of people for the first 2 weeks of the game until a random guy on the forums finally made a patch for it. All while Bethesda completely ignored the problem.

[–]bio_hazard 1 point2 points ago

The only time i don't like their bugs are when i kill a guy, go to loot him and then his limbs stretch out and he flies off into the sky...

[–]HypnoToad0 1 point2 points ago

Happened to me in fallout 3. Awesome sight.

[–]InFlamesWeTrust 1 point2 points ago

To be fair though, you really have to take into account the scope of projects like Fallout and The Elder Scrolls. There are so many variables to account for, its impossible to test and account for every bug in the game. To be honest, as a game design student, it makes my head spin thinking about how much trial and error it took to get the game to a playable state.

[–]TheMaxHax 1 point2 points ago

Now if those same bugs where found on an EA game...

[–]CosmicBard 1 point2 points ago

If you want game devs to bug test the shit out of every game they release, that's totally doable. In fact, they used to.

If you don't mind having your game a year and half late, I'm sure they can give you a nice, profession product. Oh, wait, except by that point, shareholders have lost interest in a company who won't release a product because 'people might get snarky.'

This is why we have content updates and patches. The dev cycle takes longer than it ever has before and so this is how we make up for it to keep you happy with regular releases.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Here it is, "that feel" edition: http://i.imgur.com/rYfDP.jpg

[–]Krystie 1 point2 points ago

4chan is spot on about them.

Bethesda is the first company to use bugs as a gameplay mechanic.

To be completely honest all bethesda is good at is crafting somewhat pretty worlds. Their "games" aren't really action RPGs or traditional old-school RPGs, or even video games.

They are hiking simulators and for those suitably oriented - LARP/ERP sims. They also double up as modding platforms.

Bethesda games somehow appeal quite well to the casual mindset too, so you see thousands of people on sites like reddit circle-jerking over it.

Their games have crappy combat, that isn't ever balanced, there really isn't any combat flow, challenge is basically non-existent. Unlike most good games there isn't really any skill learning involved. You don't get better at the game and don't use any learned skills to face harder enemies. Skyrim for example is the epitome of RPG-lite casual gaming.

Mediocre main storylines, shoddy sub-quests, forgettable characters and a myriad of quite obvious technical issues (bad UI, AI, npc models, animations, crappy slow motion death scenes, bugs, crashes, perk imbalances, bad scaling etc etc).

Bethesda games are extremely easy to nitpick becacuse they have so many flaws. You really need to wade through an ocean of shit and hand-wave all of these problems to "enjoy" a fairly mediocre hiking simulator.

ITT gigantic morons that have no clue about /v/ or /tv/ or any of the good boards on 4chan and make the site out to be some kind of weirdo infested dungheap.

Please reddit, get a clue.

[–]DontShadowbanMeAgain 1 point2 points ago

People only know /b/ and they only know the dark side of /b/. They think that 4chan is the same as /r/spacedicks, while most of the other boards have really civilized discussions.

/v/ for example is thousand times better than /r/gaming. On /v/ they post interresting stuff, on /r/gaming they post karma-gaining stuff (like "look what i found at x", "dae remember this popular 90s game" and hundreds of meme posts.)

But the problem is that many Reddit users post something like OP

"Look what i found on 4chan", as soon as there is 4chan in the title it guarantees karma, but without context most stuff throws a bad publicity on 4chan

[–]manfred_wellington 0 points1 point ago

It's hilarious how much reddit shits on 4chan for being 'childish' or 'weird' when r/gaming reads like a baby's version of /v/. Oh, and on /v/ they actually discuss video games and not just fucking zelda/mario/valve/skyrim.

[–]knighmare 1 point2 points ago

I say some of the bugs are left in as jokes, and in games this large, bug testing all the way would take years

[–]Chicago31 1 point2 points ago

Halo 2 might have been a boring game if not for the bugs. Well, it wouldn't be boring, but the bugs in CE and 2 added dozens of hours to my playtime.

[–]Snuffz 1 point2 points ago

The giant moonlaunch was addressed by Todd and he said it's staying in because it's just hilarious.

[–]SteveTheDude -4 points-3 points ago

I can't believe people expect games as big and open-ended as The Elder Scrolls and Fallout to be completely bug free. There are things that you can do in those games that the developers literally did not even consider you doing; it's a miracle the even work at all.

DOWNVOTE ME, HIVEMIND! DOOOOO EEEEEET!!!!!

[–]SpoonyRed 31 points32 points ago

You mean like playing the game? Because that's what happened to the PS3 users. Bugs and lag because their save files got too large.

[–]ofNoImportance 0 points1 point ago

Turns out it actually has nothing to do with save files being of any particular size.

[–]Dbjs100 -2 points-1 points ago

That is partly true. Lag is from the exorbitant amount of autosaves, and contradicting updates. You gotta delete 1.4 before installing 1.5, etc

[–]SpoonyRed 1 point2 points ago

I turned off all autosaves. Didn't know about the deleting 1.4 Seems like alot of hassle to get a game to run properly.

I see what you did there.

[–]MrFluffykins 1 point2 points ago

You want something to be seen: upvote it.

Don't think it's relevant at all and shouldn't be there: downvote it.

Don't forget that. You shouldn't downvote someone because they clearly made a joke about how they'll probably get downvoted for having an opinion that differs from the norm.

[–]ninjapro 2 points3 points ago

You downvoted someone with a valid point and contributed more to the conversation than nearly anyone else?

Not to be a dick, I just don't get your reasoning behind that.

[–]atheist_maybe 2 points3 points ago

I never said I contributed more to the conversation than anyone else? Sorry, I just get tired of people saying this will get downvoted. I won't lie, I have been guilty of it myself a few times, but I am rather done with it. Sorry if I came off as being a dick myself.

[–]ninjapro 1 point2 points ago

It's understandable. Phrases like that are considerably overused.

[–]corpsefireNL 1 point2 points ago

Now, this might get me downvoted into oblivion but you're all a bunch of silly twats.

[–]SteveTheDude 0 points1 point ago

I said it because I expected downvotes and wanted the people who downvoted me to know that they're not clever by doing so; downvoting because you disagree with someone is an abuse of the power.

[–]atheist_maybe 0 points1 point ago

So, the question is, did you downvote me?

Anyway, I don't disagree with you, you just broke one of my rules for downvoting people. That is all. I have a set of rules, partially guided by reddiquite.

[–]SteveTheDude 0 points1 point ago

I didn't downvote you because I can see where you're coming from; it does seem like it's an attempt at Youtube reverse-psychology

I can only imagine what the bethesda team would say if they looked at your life as a whole. I'd imagine they too would say it is all bugged and fucky because it doesn't operate as it ideally should.

Should read "Electronic Arts" instead of Bethesda. In my experience, EA games have terrible QA and even worse tech support. Especially the Sims series; they don't care about actually making it a working game because the smart fans will buy it anyway and fix it with mods, and the stupid fans will be too stupid to notice or care. In comparison, I've had absolutely no game breaking bugs in Morrowind and Skyrim, and only a few minor ones. But perhaps I'm just lucky.

Is there a collection of these somewhere?

[–]LambentFlare 0 points1 point ago

They probably work really hard checking for bugs, but as they try and fix bugs some other thing gets fucked up and the situation gets more complicated, because when they fix a bug another one appears and when they fix that something bigger can fuck up and it's better to have just several tiny unimportant bugs than a giant bug that fucks up the entire game. Just my opinion.

i had a bug on skyrim (xbox 360) where the game turned into full retard mode, firstly, i had unlimited magicka, then, i saw random mammoths flying through the air and giants doing no damage, spazzing out and flying into the air whenether i killed them.

fallout 3 and the mine duplicating glitch on ps3, oh the fun i had constructing land mine walls and nefarious traps

I got far on Skyrim. Then, two months ago I got the infinate loading screen. Just an object rotating round and round for hours, with little skyrim facts at the bottom.

I still haven't had the heart to restart the game. All my work...

They just let the modders to the job.

This is so painfully true that I figured out the ending before even getting there. ._.

This isn't so much a repost as it is the same cartoon, with new words added to form a new joke. Nice find though.

Skyrim is awesome.

[–]LevskiHero 0 points1 point ago

Fallout new vegas had a long period of bug testing...and that game still came out with sizeable fire ants.

RAmen. Skyrim finished off my 80gb system with all it's glitches.I still think they should have been sued for putting out such a shotty product.

[–]HunterUrban2 0 points1 point ago

I can't help but wonder if anyone else felt a scream of rage well up in the back of their throat at the accuracy...

[–]extra_23 0 points1 point ago

they're a feature really.

[–]Dantayl 0 points1 point ago

It wouldn't be The Elder Scrolls without buggy as shit content. There's nothing like walking down a path, looking up and seeing a flying horse shoot past.

[–]lopzag 0 points1 point ago

On the other hand, they make absolutely fantastic games :D

[–]Ozymandiazz 0 points1 point ago

I'll probably get downvoted to oblivion for this, but does am I the only one who finds Bethesda pathetic for their lack of QA? Not only did they fuck up the ps3 version to make it unplayable, the lack of optimization flags when the PC version was first released is goddamn pathetic.

[–]non00b 0 points1 point ago

saw this on 4chan? It says it is a C + A comic in the picture.

[–]xXZombieGamerXx 0 points1 point ago

This is a comic edited from a Cyanide and Happiness comic.

I tried my best to be immersed in the game like I was with oblivion but there was just too many glitches. Some were just ridiculous.

-Hi there, I have a couple of concerns about your application. How good is your writing?

...Writing?

I was playing Fallout New Vegas and was fighting a band of lake lurks and they all just stop moving, turn around, and start casually walking back to there nest.

I feel like I've seen this comic re-done 5 differnt times. Each time its funny.

[–]SD2403 0 points1 point ago

I see this has great potential to become a meme.

[–]Kilkun -1 points0 points ago

Change it to "sometimes makes good games" and its an accurate depiction.

[–][deleted] -3 points-2 points ago

4chan is for original content which is why redditors are fucking ruining it. If you even mention reddit on 4chan we will tell you to get teh fuck out.

GET THE FUCK OUT CANCER!

4chan is for forever alone, nerdy phaggots who enjoy masturbating to CP. BB Misc > Reddit > 9gag (crappy) > 4chan (scum of the internet. nasty people there)

Coming from a Redditor I find that statement pretty fucking amusing.

[–]Xoombrah -2 points-1 points ago

I'm hardly a Redditor. I'm a miscer. Come at me you cheeky ass kunt.

[–]smashybashy -3 points-2 points ago

Don't you attribute reworded Cyanide and Happiness comics to 4chan.

[–]Zorca99 3 points4 points ago

nah this is one of the comics that gets edited a lot. this isnt the original c and h one.

[–]smashybashy -1 points0 points ago

Yes, it is partially 4chan, but it still bothers me that C&H gets none of the credit. Nearly as bad as seeing SMBC comics with 9gag marks on them...

[–]Zorca99 0 points1 point ago

It has his website/name in bottom right at least

[–]smashybashy 0 points1 point ago

Well shit. Did not see that...

[–]ooo_shiny 0 points1 point ago

On Cyanide and Happiness it had the title Comic Rewrite Contest and the joke was about Cyanide and Happiness jokes making no sense.

[–]BigSwedenMan -4 points-3 points ago

Probably a repost? Dude this is fucking cyanide and happiness. I just.... I.... I'm done....

[–]DontShadowbanMeAgain -2 points-1 points ago

Please, for the sake of humanity, please die in a fire. Die as slowly as possibly. Have a lot pain while you die. But please die already

Whats the purpose of your idiotic comment? You don't even check if its a repost yet you complain. You are whats wrong with reddit.

After reading your comment I dont even care if a get banned again. So heres all my rage for you

YES THIS IS CYANIDE AND HAPPINESS, BUT THERE ARE THOUSAND DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF THIS COMIC. TRY TO GET YOUR FACT STRAIGHT BEFORE YOU POST SOMETHING. C&H ASKED THE USERS TO REWRITE THAT COMIC. NO PERSON WITH A WORKING BRAIN WOULD THINK THAT THIS IS THE ORIGINAL C&H COMIC. LOOK AT THE GODDAMN FORMATTING ERRORS AND SHIT.

[–]MusicNotesAndOctopie 0 points1 point ago

Calm your shit. Raging doesn't help anything. He's just laughing at you now so congrats noob.

[–]BigSwedenMan 0 points1 point ago

You are a very angry person. Have you ever heard of a psychiatrist? They are jolly nice people and may be able to help you with your little temper problem

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago

Probably a repost

You're right, not even 2 days ago

[–]DontShadowbanMeAgain -1 points0 points ago

You are right.

OPs joke is exactly the same as this one.

[–]Bluenosedcoop -1 points0 points ago

You might have seen this on 4chan but did you completely ignore the big fucking sign on the bottom corner showing the website that this comes from.

[–]DontShadowbanMeAgain -1 points0 points ago

You are correct. This is exactly the comic that Cyanide and Happiness released. As a pun on bugs they got the formatting wrong and changed the font to make it look like someone edited the comic in paint

[–][deleted] -3 points-2 points ago

Why not just link directly to C&H instead of an imgur link?

[–]DontShadowbanMeAgain -1 points0 points ago

Some people might think you are an idiot for believing that this is the real comic C&H posted. These people might think that someone edited the comic in paint, but only a real genius like you knows that C&H did this as a pun on bugs. They got the formatting wrong and changed the font between the panels to make it look like nobody checked the comic before releasing.
