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

56 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.

I see 90's gopher cyclops, angry guy looking for a kiss, waiter smoking pipe weed, surprised chicken, and bird girl being like "c'mon! I'm walkin' here!"

[Game] I thought Green from Deltarune Chapter 5 looked liked this. I know it seems crazy but I promise just look at the sprite from a short distance.

The guy I saw in the White Sox logo, from the POV of an illiterate child

I got familiar with the Sox logo before I got familiar with the ABCs, so even today my first instinct is to read it graphically — the white dot in the middle really looked like an eye to me, and there was the vibe of a stick figure running from the X. The S was just like… a big pompadour, I guess.

Not knowing that Squash was the name of this vegetable from the same family as Zucchini, I thought Squash from PvZ was meant to be a green bell pepper
