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.

FYI: QA is what stops you from releasing shit product. You think your code is perfect but us testers know that's rarely the case.

[–]Skythewood 7 points8 points ago

Quality Assurance is here to make sure the product is not shit. Here is their motto: We work in the dark to serve the light.

[–]ImmatureIntellect 9 points10 points ago

Didnt know that Gumby was the reason my games were full of quality.

[–]Thorse 1 point2 points ago

If you want to get semantic with the meaning of games, we can include politics, debates, sports, work and damn near everything else.

Let's not mince words here. You took a funny gif that got lots of karma elsewhere and you hoped by putting a few r/gaming related topics you could reap some karma with said image.

[–]ishkabibbel2000 1 point2 points ago

Whoa. WHOA. You watch your tone with me, mister. =P

I'm not the OP, I'm agreeing with you. I just did a copy/paste of the rest of the rules as posted in the sidebar of this sub-reddit.

EDIT: This definitely falls in the "force connection via the title" portion of the rules.

[–]Thorse 0 points1 point ago

Sorry, I misread the tone for that post entirely. I'm normally met with a flurry of downvotes and sarcastic backhanded insults when I try to show people the rules. Thank you for supporting the rules rather than "BUT IT GOT UPVOTES FUCK OFF FAGET" which I get all the time. You sir are a gentleman and a scholar.

[–]ishkabibbel2000 2 points3 points ago

Yeah, I've noticed that a lot of people misconstrue "upvotes" as meaning "it follows the rules".

Oh well, back to rules nazi'ing.

[–]maxminski[S] -1 points0 points ago

Wow. I'm the OP – didn't realize this would stretch the rules so much...

[–]ishkabibbel2000 2 points3 points ago

Meh... Honestly, I couldn't care less. It's up to the mods if they want to enforce the rules in these parts. (Which most times they don't. In all reality it's because having 9 folks police 1.5 million is impossible) I just figured I'd piggy back on the other fella dropping rules bombs by quoting the rest of the rules.

[–]V2Blast[M] 1 point2 points ago

We enforce the rules way more than you know. We remove tons of posts every day...

Working in darkness to serve the light.

[–]ishkabibbel2000 1 point2 points ago

Oh, I'm sure you do. I'm not one of the circle jerk-ees that thinks you guys sit on your ass eating cheetos and punching the clown... I was being quite sincere when I said there was no way to expect 9 people to fully police 1.5 million.

[–]V2Blast[M] 0 points1 point ago

Both of you are correct.

[–]danielsviper 1 point2 points ago

its quality assurance, we make sure that your game is not too buggy, and would like to say this is how it should be 1/2 the time its not....

[–]Madisun 0 points1 point ago

ugh. Sad truth behind half of what gets cut ...

[–]Forty4Magnum 0 points1 point ago

Fucking Gumby! :D

[–]resurrection -1 points0 points ago

I know that feel - what's worse is because of those buggers we end up going into crunch time, which fucking sucks as an animator. They're only doing their job, but still.... :C

I am the only one who thought of the The Creature Hud when i first saw this
