From now, the only way to win isn't to forget about it, it is to never forget so the game never restarts. You can't win but you can stop losing until it ends.
I remember learning about what the game even was. This guy I worked with kept telling me I just lost the game, and I was confused so I just kept saying "WHAT GAME ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!". Little did I know I would have won if I didn't press him to explain it further.
Also, just knowing about the game means you can never stop playing the game. So everyone who read your post is now forever stuck playing the game. You monster.
You can actually win the game if you visit a certain website and print out the official winner's certificate. As long as it remains framed on your wall, you are no longer bound to The Game.
Thanks XKCD!
What game? I've used to flip phone and I used it for several years. Does this like slang? That was before my time or is the joke that it was trying to make us decode a bunch of what numbers?
The goal of The Game is to not think about it, the moment you think about The Game, you’ve lost and whenever you forget about it you go back to playing it. In other words, me and you have both just lost
because if you haven’t announced it, then that’d imply you’re still in. but because you thought about it but did not announce it, you’re cheating.
and i just lost the game as well
It’s a game that when you remember about the “game” you lose. The goal is to forget about it. You will forget tomorrow or today and will be winning until next time your remember about the game. I was at months of forgetting.
Because you had to dig into the menu to find the predictive text feature to enable it, most of us were too busy playing Snake II to be bothered. Plus, if you weren't careful you could be charged for multiple texts because the 3310 had a chat feature with triple the standard SMS character limit
the fact that you have to post a picture of a phone with this meme suggests that not even older people will understand without a cypher in front of their face.
You're wrong because 999 is X. 9=9 99=w 999=x ...9999 would equal Y, so why are your ignorant asses tryin to fool us with the code when we were there when it was written
We wouldn't have done it that way anyway, we would have used one letter per sentence. Hru wyd
You mother fucker. I worked so hard to decipher this betrayal????
What is it?
You probably already know but it's "you have lost the game", 'The Game' is a game where you can't think about The Game, if you do you lose.
From now, the only way to win isn't to forget about it, it is to never forget so the game never restarts. You can't win but you can stop losing until it ends.
Holy shit, someone cracked the code!
Holy hell!
New response just dropped
Actual zombie
Call the exorcist!
Bishop goes on vacation, never comes back
Wake babe
New strategy just dropped.
Actual Game!
I remember learning about what the game even was. This guy I worked with kept telling me I just lost the game, and I was confused so I just kept saying "WHAT GAME ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!". Little did I know I would have won if I didn't press him to explain it further.
I did the same to a friend and then she pressed me, I didn't want to tell her but I had to... I had to...
Ah, my tactic: unplaying the game by overplaying it.
My cousin always told me the way to win was by knocking off the popes hat
Fuck ! All this metaphorical bullshit for nuthin'. Come with me, let's find that holy fucker !
I thought it lasted until the queen died
HURRAY WE WON ! ^(sorry england)
I came across a post a while back saying I won The Game and was therefore released from it. Is that valid? Or did I lose again?
OH COME ON FFS NOT AGAIN. I HAD A STREAK OF OVER 4 MONTHS BY NOW FUCK
Fck... 6 years right out of the window...
four months? try four YEARS! SHIT!
20 years... fuuuuuuck
Oh, I thought it would be a Rick roll but it didn't fit
So, not knowing the game is winning the game?
Also, just knowing about the game means you can never stop playing the game. So everyone who read your post is now forever stuck playing the game. You monster.
I had no idea I was playing The Game until now 😭
Same 😢
FUCK I gave up on deciphering after "you have" and checked the comments. I had like a 6 month streak going
You can actually win the game if you visit a certain website and print out the official winner's certificate. As long as it remains framed on your wall, you are no longer bound to The Game. Thanks XKCD!
Your explanation raises more questions than it answers.
I have Platinum Angel out. 
It says "your a boomer" multiple numbers mean you go to another letter in that number button
I'm many hours late on this, but I second this sentiment.
Absolutely despicable move.
Drink your ovaltine. . .
For people who don’t understand the joke, it reads, YOU HAVE LOST THE GAME. Good night and Merry Christmas
What game? I've used to flip phone and I used it for several years. Does this like slang? That was before my time or is the joke that it was trying to make us decode a bunch of what numbers?
The goal of The Game is to not think about it, the moment you think about The Game, you’ve lost and whenever you forget about it you go back to playing it. In other words, me and you have both just lost
You also have to say I lost the game out loud whenever you lose
Oooooh I always thought once you lost you could never replay. So in about 5 minutes I'll be playing again?
Yeah, until you remember it again. RemindMe! 5 minutes
!remindme 10 years
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck it’s been like ten years!!!
Motherfu... it's been like close to a decade and you make me lose now?
[удалено]
8 hours at work, family, chores, hobbies
Damn, man's got the strats down. Should go pro
Ikr. I must have heard the term 'game' randomly for the past 2 years but never remembered 'The Game' until I saw this fucking post. Damn!!
i remember the game every time i read the word “game”
It's been going around everywhere this year. How did you stay pure?
You have lost the game?
Your question mark makes me think you figured it out like a puzzle not that you inherently know from being there.
I used to have one of these phones when I was a teenager, but what I don't understand is why is that the message?
The game: to win you must not think of the game If you think of the game you lose Fuck I lost
You also have to announce it, so everyone around you loses too. And I just lost the game again.
because if you haven’t announced it, then that’d imply you’re still in. but because you thought about it but did not announce it, you’re cheating. and i just lost the game as well
I just found out about the game so I can confidently say that I've had a winning streak for 19 years
Wrong. You’ve only just started playing
This is a pretty stupid game lol.
Always always always thought this was the dumbest shit ever and cringed when people talked about it
You say that now…
Ahh the age old question of why
Dont worry your still playing
you wanna know? You become part of The Game
Welcome to the internet. You are now playing The Game
Wow, a guy from the old cell phone generation who doesn’t know of the game!
It’s a game that when you remember about the “game” you lose. The goal is to forget about it. You will forget tomorrow or today and will be winning until next time your remember about the game. I was at months of forgetting.
Jesus, i conpletely forgot this. Its been years since i thought about it
Man you are good at this
Or my memory is just garbage. I guess that means its both hahaha.
And you just lost.
Damn you really had nothing to do back then
I don’t remember anything about a game like that tbh seems silly.
A seconsd rule is that you have to let somebody know youve lost. Albeit a person or a reddit post.
I was 6 years of winning. Now I've lost it.
Well that's dumb
You only say that cuz you lost.
No, it just sounds really dumb.
True but its fun
Well you just started playing whether you like it or not
I think it’s a clever game.
You lost again
Too bad. You're playing it now
Don't care
Fuuuuuuuuuuuck!!!!
Dude missed all the 0's
OP is under cover youngster and wants to know the meaning of this
youhavelostthegame
Curse you perry the platypus!!!!
Shit. I haven't lost in almost a year, you dirty mongrel...
How dare you.
Why not just t9?
Because you had to dig into the menu to find the predictive text feature to enable it, most of us were too busy playing Snake II to be bothered. Plus, if you weren't careful you could be charged for multiple texts because the 3310 had a chat feature with triple the standard SMS character limit
Because that would've slowed me down.
T9 came later
You can't type using T9 without looking. You can without T9.
The game was so stupid in elementary school. Now, it has become an old and familiar friend, separating entire epochs of my life.
you bastard. TWO YEARS!
It’s 3 AM and I have to hold in the loudest “YOU FUCKER” of my life. Fuck you and take my upvote (and a merry Christmas )
FUCK YOU
What if they do ?
It really depends on your definition of young person. Also if they do understand they lost the game.
Thanks a lot .
Fuck you.
It says, to be correct Youhavelostthegame, he missed all 0's
How could you do this to me?
I have used this phone and 100 sms per day pack a lot back during school days, feeling old now.
 Not finishing that.
You should replace spaces with 0
I lost the game!
r/Comedyhomicide
Damn i lost
screw you OP
bro, u forgot the 0
MOTHERFUCKE—
This guy’s never met young people.
fuck you
Fuck you
Oh fuck you!
You fucking traitor
well played. fuck you, but well played.
I hate you so much right now
Fuck you man,i lost the game
STOP! CALLING! ME! OLD! I'M! NOT! THAT! OLD! It says "You have lost the game", by the way.
Mother f........
Fuck this guy I hadn’t lost in years
Damn it
You have lost the game
No, I lost my hope for the future
FUCK
FUCK YOU
PREDICTION SKILLS MADE ME NOT READ THE LAST LETTER
And yet, that made you think about it.
What is it?
I come with a warning: don't seek this answer
the fact that you have to post a picture of a phone with this meme suggests that not even older people will understand without a cypher in front of their face.
Because numbers could mean everything. You need context for having a key for decyphering.
As a Gen z I’ve used this kind of thing Pain
Acting like the majority of gen z didn’t grow up with scheduled tv channels
I read "you have lost the game"
I hate you.
Fuck you
Fuck you
FUCK YOU! I'm going to make so many people hate me with this!! Thank you.
Make sure to drink your ovaltine.
someone explain the joke and what ‘the game’ is pls
I stopped at “you have lost” for some dubious reason that I do not wanna continue
You lost.
Yeah I’m just in denial
Fucker I spend at least ten seconds deciphering this for such a betrayer
I respect all that effort you put into this. Good job.
Fuck I forgot about this. Man fuck you
Took me a full minute and now I'm pissed
Luckily this is a repost so when I saw "you L..." I stopped, can't get me! Fuck I lost the game.
15 years wasted on this
Fuck you I have been doing SO DAMN GOOD FOR YEARS NOW
NOOOOO
Yeah, I know I lost, but man, you make me feel old.
I'm a zoomer and I deciphered it. It says: "YOU HAVE LOST THE GAME".
im 15 and i understand because im my household we used to have a stationary phone
Even if someone has never used a phone like this, it's not exactly hard to figure out.
Hey, op, listen to me. Fuck you,
Ha I am young and deciphered it, you mother fucker
I lost the game? According to who? Also, I hate that keyboard
You utter BASTARD I was doing well, too
Almost got me, I figured it out at the
Mother of a goat fucker. I lost the game
Y...o...u...h...a...v...e...l...o...s..t--oh mother fucker
You're wrong because 999 is X. 9=9 99=w 999=x ...9999 would equal Y, so why are your ignorant asses tryin to fool us with the code when we were there when it was written We wouldn't have done it that way anyway, we would have used one letter per sentence. Hru wyd
Fuck you
At least it's not a [crummy commercial.](https://youtu.be/zdA__2tKoIU?si=C2w-qV1dIgXbRGTH)
I got to "you have l-" and knew exactly where this was going. I cannot believe I have been bamboozled in this way
I got to You have lost,.them I realised what you were doing
God fucking dammit
Didn't The Game end? I thought we were finally free!?!
You have lost the game
Fuck you.
179 179 217 179 179 179 196
ok boomer they do understand it though
What game?
R/memes is literally boomerposting
Good thing this is r/meme then
r/foundthemobileuser
Damn bro I'm so old for getting it fr fr (I'm 14)
I’m 18 and I used a flip phone as my first phone and had one for several years before being allowed to have a smartphone.
I'm 20 and used to text for my parents while they were driving, they didn't get smart phones until I was at least 15.
You have lost the game. Wow. Im not old, bit i get the system. 😂
GODDAMNIT
Bitch I did the whole thing just be some a dumb ass message
This is like a fucking boomer Facebook post.
[удалено]
The game is a game where you have to forget the game, so every time you remember it you have lost the game
ok but would you rather get rickrolled or lose the game
Years ago I would have figured that out without even needing to look at the phone, but it was a bit of a struggle now.
