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.


Posting Rules

  • Posts must be directly gaming-related. Thus, "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; similarly, reaction GIFs are also not appropriate as submissions.

  • Following Reddiquette is encouraged

  • No "general" URL shorteners (bitly, tinyurl, etc). Single-site URL shorteners (such as youtu.be or fav.me) are allowed.

  • No game or product giveaway of any kind

  • NSFW submissions and comments must be labeled

  • Spoilers can be posted using the following formatting:
    [X Kills Y](/spoiler)
    Result: X Kills Y.

  • To mark a spoiler as relevant to a specific game/topic, use the alternate formatting:
    [Player 1 wins](/spoiler "Pong")
    Result:
    Player 1 wins

  • Report posts containing spoilers not using the above method

  • Don't post users' personal information.

Submission Rules

Is your post not showing up? Do not delete it. Wait 5 minutes to give AutoModerator a chance to look at it; it approves most submissions automatically. If it hasn't shown up after more than 5 minutes, simply message the moderators and ask us to let it through.

Ched Evans, a professional footballer who recently was sentenced to 2 (i think?) years in jail for sexual assault.

Ah.. so the #justiceforched thing is about wanting him to be acquitted for it or something?

probably something like that, before he was found guilty.

I would say we could backtrack from there to find the OP, or other commentors, but based on the jpeg artifacts I have to judge this to be at least 2 years old.

[–]b0jangles 7 points8 points ago

Are you implying that jpeg isotopes decay at a consistent rate?

[–]Sir_Asshole 1 point2 points ago

It's actually a compounded decay between reposts; every time the photo is uploaded and compressed, it loses the sharp quality it (may have) began with.

[–]b0jangles 1 point2 points ago

I was making a carbon dating joke... that not only do images decay as they get recompressed over and over again, but that this decay can actually be used to accurately date the creation of the original image.

Er, doesn't exactly get funnier with explanation...

[–]Kazundo_Goda 17 points18 points ago

That wont do,we have to be accurate.I suggest we use the quantum vectorisation to de-reasterize it.From there we can use the Quantum Deviations to predict the gap between the pixels and use the Van Huesen isotope to predict the time frame of when the image was uploaded.From there we can use the Anahiem Difference to narrow down,when the post was made in Facebook.

[–]Pants_R_Overatd 17 points18 points ago

Or you could just rotate it and yell enhance a couple times.

[–]Kazundo_Goda 4 points5 points ago

That's what those fools at CSI do.I have no idea what kind of racket they are running up there,here in HQ we use some serious tech.I though the Audible Enhancers were outdated,I must be wrong I guess.

[–]ChickenShoes 5 points6 points ago

If this is happening in real time, we could just create a GUI in Visual Basic and track the IP addresses of everyone involved.

[–]Kazundo_Goda 2 points3 points ago

That method is too time consuming,we have to monitor those IPs in real time.That takes a lot of bandwidth.HQ is using a prototype tech called N.I.G.(Neural Information Grid).Instead of going for their IPs and reading what they are posting,we will use the embedded Neural Chip to monitor their synapses and determine directly form their source(brain). Unfortunately,this method requires lot of computing power.We dont use this for silly Facebook posts that come through the S.T.C(Space Time Continnium).

[–]blambear23 202 points203 points ago

[–]notsosubtle_ 29 points30 points ago

I noticed this movement towards saying no to jpeg. Is there a better alternative to jpeg? Is this just a bad upload? What is causing the pixelation? Inquiring minds want to know.

Edit: I read all of these responses. Thank you all very much for the info. Hopefully png will catch on.

[–]mperl0 54 points55 points ago

jpeg is a lossy format, meaning some pixels are estimated rather than faithfully reproduced. The most common lossless format is png, which avoids this issue.

[–]notsosubtle_ 10 points11 points ago

So this causes it to take up more space as well if it is saved in the .png format but is a higher quality image. Thank you for the info.

[–]itsprobablytrue 10 points11 points ago

While .png format images can be larger file sizes, their average size is not far off from the common .jpg

Programs just don't have it as a default option so it's not as commonly used.

[–]koviko 3 points4 points ago

And in terms of lossless formats, PNG is the most efficient AFAIK.

[–]Clown_Vomit 1 point2 points ago

With the majority of the first world moving towards high-speed internet and out-of-box computers with massive hard drives higher resolution is more desirable than smaller files.

[–]WeLoveKanjimari 2 points3 points ago

Saving an image as a jpeg, like he said, "estimates" part of hte image. If you zoom in reeeeeeally close in real time to a webpage, you'll see things like black text not actually being 100% black (and thin lines being more than just a line of black pixels, but rather having other colors around the edges). JPEG files ignore stuff like that, to save space, but doing so makes things look a bit odd.

Save a jpeg as another jpeg? It just gets worse. Each time a jpeg is altered and saved again, it looks worse and worse than before. But this does not happen with png.

[–]crwcomposer 5 points6 points ago

Png is better (as far as pixelation goes).

Pixelation is caused by lossy compression. Jpg files are compressed to reduce size (raw images can be rather large). But jpgs are compressed in a lossy way, meaning that the original image cannot be reproduced exactly.

Png is also compressed, but in a lossless way. A png is identical to the original, just with a smaller file size due to lossless compression.

[–]lukke100 1 point2 points ago

If I am correct, I don't believe that is always true. Usually png is better only for images that have a lot of solid color. Images like real life photos should use jpg because of the inconsistent coloring.

[–]crwcomposer 1 point2 points ago

Png always reproduces the image without artifacts, unlike jpg. The only downside is that png files are usually larger due to the lossless compression.

[–]NPPraxis 4 points5 points ago

PNG

[–]rzm61 3 points4 points ago

[–]FourMakesTwoUNLESS 2 points3 points ago

How it happens:

  • User A takes a screenshot, saves it as a JPG and uploads it to the internet. It looks fine, almost as clear as the original screen looked, but if you look very close you'll see pixelation. This is because, as someone else stated, your computer estimates some of the pixels in an effort to save hard drive space (it's how JPG was designed, a "lossy" format).

  • User B sees this image on the internet and decides to save it to their own computer. In the process of saving it, their computer estimates some of these pixels again, causing it to become fuzzier. Later, User B uploads it to the internet, perhaps to Imgur so that they can share it on another website.

  • User C sees the image on the internet and decides to save it to their own computer.

And the process repeats over and over until years later the image is hardly recognizable. This doesn't happen with other image formats such as PNG or GIF.

[–]Yatterking 6 points7 points ago

I've tried really hard but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to hit print screen and make the resulting jpeg look that shitty.

[–]Cognitive_Dissonant 1 point2 points ago

Have you tried running it through the process multiple times? Like, print screen, save as jpeg, then open that jpeg, print screen again, etc. I think the super shitty jpegs come from repeated compressions.

[–]reyqune 46 points47 points ago

You are never too old for pokemon.

[–]Willomo 63 points64 points ago

I don't quite get the idea of being "too old" for some things. If you enjoy it and it isn't hurting anyone, what's wrong with it?

I guess it's like when people dig My Little Pony. It's their choice if they wanna watch a cartoon made for little girls. Fine, I guess. I'm still gonna say "Hey, man. You're not a little girl. You're a 33 year old man. Yes, you are". If we can't make fun of people for liking My Little Pony, then what can we make fun of people for? Guess the same thing applies to liking Pokemon, or Japanese Tentacle Porn.

Got a little sidetracked...

I think it's more classist. You could say the same about a name like "Bobby Jo" or some other "poor people name"

[–]Speaks-In-Hoedown 6 points7 points ago

But is "Latoria" a low class name? Because, if not, then that feels even more racist than before.

[–]badasimo 1 point2 points ago

I could argue, though, that "high class" people are less likely to make up new names for babies since they are very focused on lineage, and would probably name their child after an ancestor. (which is why something like Thurston Howell III is such a "rich" sounding name)

[–]Dont_Need_No_Man 6 points7 points ago
