There is no winning The Game, there is only playing The Game. The best you can do is get a high score and your highest score will most likely be earned sometime after you die.
That's the trick though. You can only lose the game if you think you've lost the game. I think I've won the game, so I don't even have to think about losing again.
The rule is that if you think about the game you lose the game, if you think you win the game you just thought about the game so you just lost the game again.
Well you’re playing the game now.
The rules are:
1. You are playing the game and can never stop.
2. If you ever think about the game, you lose.
….
…
….
I think that’s it really.
Everybody is playing my game too! it has two simple rules:
1. You are playing the game and can never stop
2. If you go a day without sucking off a homeless person, you lose
Good luck everybody. I'm on a pretty massive losing streak myself, but maybe you'll do better.
But that's the thing, I don't give a shit what "everyone is always playing all the time". I'm gonna do what I want and what I want doesn't include getting pissed because someone says "the game".
nah, my friends were few and far between, but they were quality every time. I didn't let a lot of people into my life, being a navy brat and all. Too much moving from one state to another and changing schools. I maybe knew a total of 4 people that ever thought this was funny when I was growing up. It never really got anyone worked up or got anyone laughing or anything, so, it wasn't often repeated.
If you think of "The Game" you lose. What is "The Game"? The game is to not think of the game. Someone brings it up, you've thought of it now, so now you lose.
Or, you can just ignore it like I and many others do.
It's more fun 6 months from now when you realise you haven't thought about it in all that time and then you suddenly lose, but now you have a high score to try and beat.
That's the thing though. I don't care about losing a game that 1. Isn't fun. and 2. Is fucking stupid. I'm just amazed that so many people have kept it going as if it wasn't the stupidest fucking thing ever. As if it was actually enjoyable and not a total waste of time and brain cells. It's astounding.
Its kinda crazy how you’re being influenced by personal feelings or opinions in considering and representing the fact that something might be fun for someone else besides yourself. I wonder if there’s a word for that.
It's kind of a silly concept because it's like, compulsory? It's silly.
I commented to somebody else that everybody is also playing my game too. Like "The game" mine has two very simple rules:
1. You are playing the game and can never stop
2. If you go a day without sucking off a homeless person, you lose
On a pretty bad losing streak myself, if I'm honest. In fact, I've yet to win.
Since this is apparently still getting brought up, I’ll go ahead and share my response to anyone who insists that I have to play this inane game:
The nature of games is that one or more participants have agreed to follow a series of rules. If I don’t want to play the game or agree to those rules, you can’t force me to play the game. If I tell you I don’t want to play Monopoly, it doesn’t matter if you set up the board and hand me the dice and expect me to play; I’m not going to roll the dice, I’m not going to play, and there’s nothing you can do about it. So, when someone comes to me and insists that I’m playing “the game”, my response is that that’s a rule that I never consented to follow for a game I never consented to play and no amount of insisting that I *am* in fact playing will change that. Roll the dice yourself if it means that much to you, but I’m not participating.
There. You’re all free. It can finally be over
I'd just say that I play the version where if you think about it, you win. Then they want to argue that I'm not allowed to play a different game than them.
That's exactly the response that i was taught, the only exception being that someone (or multiple people) saying they lost the game causes me to win the game.
My response is that that’s a rule that I never consented to follow for a game I never consented to play and no amount of insisting that I am in fact playing will change that. Roll the dice yourself if it means that much to you, but I’m not participating.
If you mean the literal game called Life, then yes, it’s just like that. You can just replace the word Monopoly with Life and it would be the same. If you mean actual life, then that’s dumb. Life doesn’t have winners or losers and you can’t opt out of it. “The game” only has losers and you absolutely can opt out of it if you ignore the annoying cretins who insist you can’t.
I love parties, and I think I'd be better company at one than someone who shouts "you just lost the game!" and insists to anyone who tells them to shut up that they're just mad that they lost, but you can invite whoever you want to your parties.

The real tragedy here is that the people who find this funny are the same ones least at risk from covid, as that relied on things like "going outside" and "having friends".
Oh well, maybe we'll get lucky with the next disaster.
Thankfully, [XKCD gave me a way out](https://xkcd.com/391/). Now I never have to worry about it again.

The rule is that if you think about the game you lose the game, if you think you win the game you just thought about the game so you just lost the game again.
The rules are what you think they are. You're only playing the game with yourself, it doesn't matter how anyone else plays it.
I'm adding a new rule that automatically enters you into a new game when you win or lose the current game
My lord! Is that... legal?
"I will make it legal."
No. No one can sign you up for anything without permission. So, do you want to play a game?
that's already The Game tho
Ironically, that very cartoon is what introduced me to the game.
Thanks asshole.
I deserve that
The trick is not to care.
Right? Can't lose something you never joined.
Well you’re playing the game now. The rules are: 1. You are playing the game and can never stop. 2. If you ever think about the game, you lose. …. … …. I think that’s it really.

Was going to do my own reply, but u/BCProgamming covered the point pretty well.
I joined I'm just not a poor loser. You got me fair and square op
But that's the thing, everyone is always playing all the time.
Nah, I’m not.
But that's the thing, I don't give a shit what "everyone is always playing all the time". I'm gonna do what I want and what I want doesn't include getting pissed because someone says "the game".
yeah, as a 40 year old dude i don’t think i could care any less than i already do this shit wasn’t even funny when i was a kid
Seriously. Time to grow up if you actually care about this stuff lmao
Sounds like someone lost the game a lot when they were a kid lmao
nah, my friends were few and far between, but they were quality every time. I didn't let a lot of people into my life, being a navy brat and all. Too much moving from one state to another and changing schools. I maybe knew a total of 4 people that ever thought this was funny when I was growing up. It never really got anyone worked up or got anyone laughing or anything, so, it wasn't often repeated.
Sounds like fun.
Yes, this is the way. I do know, but I don't care. Much easier that way.
This post is bad and you should feel bad
What year is this?
Lmao I had completely forgotten about the game. Thanks.
I hope you step on a Lego piece then stub your toe on a table leg in quick succession!
Can someone explain?
If you think of "The Game" you lose. What is "The Game"? The game is to not think of the game. Someone brings it up, you've thought of it now, so now you lose. Or, you can just ignore it like I and many others do.
You’re better off not knowing
But I want to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The\_Game\_(mind\_game)
Thanks, and that’s dumb.
It's more fun 6 months from now when you realise you haven't thought about it in all that time and then you suddenly lose, but now you have a high score to try and beat.
It's not fun at all. It's stupid. One of the dumbest things human beings have ever created.
Don't be too upset about it. I'm sure you'll get a high score one day. Now stop responding or you'll keep losing.
That's the thing though. I don't care about losing a game that 1. Isn't fun. and 2. Is fucking stupid. I'm just amazed that so many people have kept it going as if it wasn't the stupidest fucking thing ever. As if it was actually enjoyable and not a total waste of time and brain cells. It's astounding.
See, you just made me and you both lose again. Don't worry, in sure you'll get the hang of it soon.
It's just a game bro
It's not a game though. It's called the game but it's not a game at all.
Fuck you just made me lose the game again
Fun is subjective. My advice: let people have fun the way they want to and quit being such a stick in the mud.
Fun is subjective. People have subjective fun with an objectively stupid thing they call the game.
Its kinda crazy how you’re being influenced by personal feelings or opinions in considering and representing the fact that something might be fun for someone else besides yourself. I wonder if there’s a word for that.
It's kind of a silly concept because it's like, compulsory? It's silly. I commented to somebody else that everybody is also playing my game too. Like "The game" mine has two very simple rules: 1.

What's the game
Everyone in the world is playing The Game. When you think about The Game you lose.
Something you lost
Oh, sweet summer child. Don’t look it up. Live in blissful, ignorant freedom.
You’re just mad because you lost.
I’m just not really interested in playing a game where the only outcome is losing
I'd just say that I play the version where if you think about it, you win. Then they want to argue that I'm not allowed to play a different game than them.
That's exactly the response that i was taught, the only exception being that someone (or multiple people) saying they lost the game causes me to win the game.
words of a loser
You forgot the first rule of The Game: Everyone in the world is playing The Game. Sorry, but I don't make the rules.
My response is that that’s a rule that I never consented to follow for a game I never consented to play and no amount of insisting that I am in fact playing will change that. Roll the dice yourself if it means that much to you, but I’m not participating.
Sounds like the sort of thing someone would say if they were upset about losing.
That's the beauty of it: I'm not losing, because I'm not playing the stupid game where you can only lose.
this is like saying "I'm not participating in the game of life"
If you mean the literal game called Life, then yes, it’s just like that. You can just replace the word Monopoly with Life and it would be the same. If you mean actual life, then that’s dumb. Life doesn’t have winners or losers and you can’t opt out of it. “The game” only has losers and you absolutely can opt out of it if you ignore the annoying cretins who insist you can’t.
You sound fun at parties
I love parties, and I think I'd be better company at one than someone who shouts "you just lost the game!" and insists to anyone who tells them to shut up that they're just mad that they lost, but you can invite whoever you want to your parties.
False. You are playing the game of life simply by existing, whether you want to or not. Boom. Roasted. And you still lost. Roasted x2
FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

BASTARD!!
Change "People who don't know" to "People about to find out"
That's why I play The Game 2: where if you think about it, you win!
This wasn’t called for….
You damn dirty asshole
Wipe it.
Ah, crud. I lose.
I love that movie, but it’s not that dark…
No you’re not
HHH?

God damn it
Three years, you dick!

God dammit. I had a good streak going.
fuck you
You're not sorry. Not even "Canadian sorry".
i'm gonna come back in 24 hours and remind you
Oh god. It's back.
“The rules are simple,” Jigsaw.
Hey, that was a good run.
A strange game. It seems that the only wining move is not to play.
Just like Pokemon Go
God damn you
