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.

[–]Alkosh 15 points16 points ago

But... Mario is... Italian?

[–]neorevenge 2 points3 points ago

I would said it was a joke regarding the rumor that his game had hidden Communist propaganda... but that was Super Mario Bros not Donkey Kong

[–]Alkosh 0 points1 point ago

Mario is the protagonist of both, but he was called Jumpman in Donkey Kong.

[–]neorevenge 2 points3 points ago

Yeah but the propaganda rumors came from SMB not Donkey Kong, so it's kinda weird to see this on the Donkey Kong setting while communist Super Mario is more common

[–]Alkosh 0 points1 point ago

Cool video. Thanks.

[–]leex0 30 points31 points ago

Man. This Faux-Cyrillic has gotten out of hand. Those aren't even actual letters.

[–]ethelwulf 15 points16 points ago

Are those TIE-Fighters?

[–]dron57 14 points15 points ago

As someone who speaks Russian, Faux-Cyrillic just makes my eyes bleed.

[–]FauxWriter 9 points10 points ago

I always end up trying to read it as if it were Russian, usually makes for a good laugh.

[–]OpenStraightElephant 0 points1 point ago

I speak Russian too. Faux-Cyrillic is funny IMO and helps a lot in creating hyperbolized stereotype-based communism style.

[–]Dreolic 6 points7 points ago

But Donkey Kong was an ape not a monkey.

[–]Sharrakor 1 point2 points ago

Many people don't know the difference, or care. :[

[–]Nefarious_Lobster 1 point2 points ago

I honestly have better things to care about than being able to distinguish primates.

[–]Adonej 2 points3 points ago

I'd rather shock the monkey

[–]ModernDog 7 points8 points ago

This doesn't make sense in the context of russian propaganda, or in the contex of mario games. This is garbage.

[–]nquinn91 7 points8 points ago

I think Pauline is supposed to be a metaphor for Mother Russia and the Donkey Kong is supposed to be a metaphor for the evil capitalist forces trying to forcefully impinge on wholesome communist ideals.

Or it just looks cool.

[–]Dr_Medic345 1 point2 points ago

Goddamit Quinn, we talked about this. No more smoking drugs!

It's arlight guys, I'm his Doctor.

[–]Axmirza2 1 point2 points ago

Reminds me of these

[–]Sufficiently_Insane 1 point2 points ago

Reminds of me of this from a while ago.

[–]coleosis1414 1 point2 points ago

i want this poster in my room.

[–]rokuthirteen 0 points1 point ago

Then, after you smash your monkey to the princess in a nightgown, go beat up that ape.

[–]mckinnon42 1 point2 points ago

Reminds me of the old flash cartoon The People's Mario

[–]whilst 0 points1 point ago

The complete history of the Soviet Union set to the music of Tetris

[–]DarthRainb0w 0 points1 point ago

I really want to know wtf the origin of the font is because its so retarded and overused at this point.

[–]Bricwall 0 points1 point ago

but that's an ape...

[–]Inquisitor1 0 points1 point ago

Some of those aren't even real letters, what is this monkeyretardedness. And what has russia got to do with this or with mario? Is the author russian? Is the game russian? Does it take place in russia? And wouldn't a russian poster for mother russia be in russian and not english?

[–]Splee009 -3 points-2 points ago

In Soviet Russia, Monkey smashes you.
