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.

I hate to be that guy but do you guys realize how many times this has been reposted? I know that not everyone sees all of the OC when it comes around the first time but ignorance is bliss for those who missed it. Karma whoring and reposting lower the quality of reddit for everyone and bury the OC that really deserves the upvotes. Sorry for the rant and I'm not mad at you personally. Reposts just rustle my jimmies.

Never been that into LOTR fluff but isn't Middle-Earth the name for the actual planet? And Skyrim is just the northern region of Tamriel?

[–]nastradames 0 points1 point ago

No the planet is called Arda or Quenya Tengwar in Sindarin. Yes i am a nerd.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised. A lot of inspiration for TES came from LoTR. In fact, the daedric towers in Oblivion were based off of Orthank and Sauron's Tower.

It's stunning how velociraptors are so acute!

No, it's the opposite of the Mideterranian. Greece.
