Rules:

Keep your memes and jokes relevant to game design / game development
Programming, Art, Animation, Marketing, Narrative, Customer support and more can all be part of game design and are therefore appropriate topics to post about.

1.a) Please avoid generic programmer memes that have no connection to video games. (Clarification here)
Keep it humorous
We enjoy and appreciate memes, reaction gifs, screengrabs of funny bugs, evidence of player misconceptions about what game development entails, real life things that remind you of game dev stuff and more. Posts must contain an attempt at humor.
Keep it kind
Remember that you are talking to (and about) real people. This subreddit does not tolerate racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia or any kind of personal insult. Be kind.
Keep it fresh
No reposts of anything that is currently in the top 50 of all time or in the top 25 of week, month or year.

Rules will be enforced at Mod discretion. If you disagree with the rules or have other feedback for the subreddit, please open a meta thread.
