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.

I laughed...then thought "That poor horse". It has got to hurt to land like that.

[–]Blehgopie 2 points3 points ago

I consider it a 2-for-1 deal at the schadenfreude sale.

I knew that sounded familiar.

[–]dave_casa 7 points8 points ago

Horse people, the fuck happened?

[–]Nightfalls 8 points9 points ago

Simply put, the idiot pulled back too hard on the reins, pulling the horse's head back and up more and more. Seems like a bit of a poorly-trained horse, and in its attempt to buck its rider, it jumped without good footing (hooving?) and this happened.

He seems to have done everything wrong possible in this instance. He kept pulling back hard on the reins, squeezed his boots into the horse's sides, and panicked.

[–]holycowbatman 2 points3 points ago

I thought it was just a poorly attempted backflip.

[–]Nightfalls 2 points3 points ago

Poorly executed at least.

[–]holycowbatman 1 point2 points ago

He'll never be a world class diving horse with that technique.

[–]Nightfalls 2 points3 points ago

He could win a lot of rodeos with that suplex though.

[–]dave_casa 0 points1 point ago

Every time I've ridden a horse (probably less than a dozen times total), it's been more of "hey man, if you don't mind could you head to the right, but if you don't want to that's okay too". Pissing off an animal which weighs 1000 pounds more than you just seems like a bad idea.

[–]Nightfalls 0 points1 point ago

I'm like you. I haven't had much experience riding, though I have had some. One big thing you have to get when you're a big-time rider is that the horse is a domesticated animal and it requires a steady, stern hand You really shouldn't be asking it to go the way you want, you should be telling it. You have to have confidence in what you're doing, for that. The horse WILL try to take command, and it WILL scare the living crap out of anyone who doesn't hold onto command.

I've seen plenty of playdays and jr. rodeos where the riders were inexperienced and scared. The horses can feel that. More than pissing off an animal that weighs 1,000 pounds more than you, you really don't want to scare an animal that weighs 1,000 pounds than you while you're sitting on top of it.

[–]Curiosity_man 2 points3 points ago

I really don't get how people, don't understand this...

[–]V2Blast 0 points1 point ago

Some people just don't read the rules...

[–]Cptnwalrus 2 points3 points ago

So everyone is now using a photo from that "animals are dumb" album posted earlier and submitting them separately as reaction gifs? Is that's what's going on?

[–]holycowbatman 0 points1 point ago

Cunt.

Nigger bitch.

[–]illevator -4 points-3 points ago

Shit!

To think I coulda pulled this outta that dumb animal gif post earlier and reaped all this karma... You sir, are more clever than I.

Although, to my credit, I don't thieve shit in the name of some number on some website profile. Unoriginality is analogous to being dead, IMHO.

PS I'm a fucking blast at parties.
