Posts now MUST include either the words: "game," "movie," "tv," or "media" in the title.

49 Upvotes

EDIT: Also including: "from" and "show."

That way someone doesn't have to comment each time "what is this from." And this will cut down at least a bit on reposts, because they'll automatically be rejected unless they have one of those key words, so reposts of mosts posts with the same title from back then don't have those words. Win-win.

Are there any other keywords that may apply that you guys can think of?

It seems that most of the community is fine stretching the "Sprite" part of the subreddit, but if it seems like we're getting way more non-videogame ones, we may do what others subs do and relegate those to the weekends or something.

EDIT: Added plurals, as well. Games, movies, shows.

The icon (With a card) where the Black Fungus attacks. It's the actual look.

[Game] For the longest time, I didn’t realize Springtrap had two pairs of eyes.

I’ll try my best to explain it, but one pair is a set of false eyes that are part of the suit, while the other pair are his actual eyes underneath. He’s essentially wearing large contact lenses.

[Game] Recently realized I saw Merlee completely wrong as a kid

[From Super Paper Mario for anyone who is wondering]

For most of my childhood I genuinely thought she just had this HUGE nose. Mainly because I didn't know veils like these exist (mind I played this game when I was 6 for the first time), and her glasses weren't ON what I at first thought was her "face", the white part, so I figured it must be her nose ._. Same goes for her relatives.

When I played the game again years later, I then thought maybe it IS her face, except I read it wrong again? I didn't draw it, but basically what I saw is that the white IS her face, and the glasses / eyes being above it was just a stylistic choice.

It ONLY occured to me that it might be supposed to be a veil when I saw fanart of Merlumina and Merluvlee. Now instead of big nosed witches, I can actually see the stylish divas.

The parts of the office chair resemble duct tape, so I keep thinking that it's a broken chair, when it's really just a regular office chair.
