When this DM made a post about a player's interesting request, they had no idea it would capture the attention of the DND community . Reddit isn't nearly as anonymous as people like to think it is. This DND player, u/EmotionalMacaroon169, tried to make a post on a throwaway account. They shared with the DND community that they were in a conundrum. A new player joined their homebrew game, and since she's a vegan, she wanted the game's world to reflect that. The OP was using a throwaway account s…

Different people do things in different ways. For example, when I play video games, the wonder of possibility consumes me, driving me to obsessively check every last corner for hidden loot and easter eggs, turning over (literally) every stone until I 100% the game or reach a point of sheer exhaustion where my brain can no longer function and the desire loses its spark—leaving the game unfinished and untouched ever again. This, generally, reflects my approach to life at large. You, on the other…

The best lessons in life often can't be planned for and sometimes are born from the mistakes of authority figures and the limitations they place on you. These limitations can create situations that require creative solutions to overcome them, sparking inspiration that can lead to new pathways and ideas. This guy shared the story of his days at school, being trapped there without any access to the delightful flash games of the early 00s thanks to the school's overbearing firewall. As idle minds…

The internet can't agree on this couple's dilemma: who has the rights to their computer room?

The hype around new gaming consoles can be so outrageous that people feel overly entitled to their new device. Whenever there's a new console release , there is a lot of hype. Gamers are psyched to try new games or play old ones on a brand new system. And let's face it, these consoles are not cheap whatsoever, with most of them costing hundreds of dollars. That was also the case with this cranky customer, who just wanted a new gaming console the second it was released. This customer clearly had…

In the times before Zoom calls , computer rooms used to be a haven for cuddling up, eating 800 snacks, and playing video games until 4 AM. There was no need for them to be pretty or aesthetic, because you and your closest pals were the only ones who needed to see your gaming room . This, as you can image, results in some pretty cursed computer setups. Some are messy and cluttered with food leftovers, some are absurdly built, and some have withered our eyeballs from the sheer shock of these comp…

This will be the kid's supervillain origin story. I had to share this one just because of the sheer hilarity of the picture it paints. Just some grown-ass man absolutely and mercilessly annihilating the kid and repeatedly three-stocking him —something along the lines of the Billy Madison dodgeball scene. Were the OP's actions kind of mean? Maybe— but I would argue there's a hidden benefit here: He's providing (free) valuable life lessons to the kid that now the parents won't have to teach. Lear…

This pregnant woman found herself in her mother-in-law's crosshairs and was accused of cheating when she was caught in a lie. The thing is, she was lying to avoid having to tell her mother-in-law that she was playing video games. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/ AITA (Am I the A-Hole) subreddit by Reddit user u/True_Tap_5721. She posted the thread to the poplar sub to see if she was in the wrong for sinking herself into a bed of lies, which led her mother-in-law to accuse her of infidelity…

“Cheating in video games should be illegal," tweeted Pro Gamer and Streamer, Tfue, sparking debate in this trending Twitter thread. Tfue, the online alias of American streamer Turner Tenney, is best known as one of the standout talents from the height of the Fortnite craze.

It's something to do.

I stumbled upon this tweet while scrolling through my Twitter feed earlier today and it raises a great point… Why in the heck are the buttons on different consoles' controllers in completely different orders? It would have been easy enough to just standardize the entire thing from the get-go, but no, we need to have different layouts. I'd be willing to wager that you can't tell me off the top of your head (no cheating) where the X button is for the Playstation, Xbox, and Switch. I've been playi…

Stupid cliff racers.

In only a few decades, video games went from being a weird sideshow of bleeps and bloops to a billion dollar industry and pastime for millions, complete with its own competitive leagues. Anyone who grew up through this time has witnessed the growth of beautiful artform only to have its wings clipped by constant microtransactions and identical sequels. Those 12-year-olds who were beating us at Halo and describing exactly what they did to our moms last night are now 26 year olds, still beating us…

A while back, an editing genius by the name of eli_handle_b․wav made a very fine send up of Austin Powers In Mass Effect. It made us feel good to watch in more ways than one. Maybe it's our age. Maybe it's the quality. Whatever it is there's more of it now and it makes us want to do horrible things with a tennis racket in a tent while a disgusted henchman watches our shadows.

Another amazing moment on the internet.
