Welcome to /c/SoftwareGore!


This is a community where you can poke fun at nasty software. This community is your go-to destination to look at the most cringe-worthy and facepalm-inducing moments of software gone wrong. Whether it's a user interface that defies all logic, a crash that leaves you in disbelief, silly bugs or glitches that make you go crazy, or an error message that feels like it was written by an unpaid intern, this is the place to see them all!

Remember to read the rules before you make a post or comment!

Anyone else think that Gigabyte's "Ultra Durable" looks like an ad for condoms? No? Just me?

My spouse has a Gigabyte mobo and makes me laugh and him cringe so often lol.

I don’t know who comes up with those. My ASUS’ boards emphatic “In search of excellence” always makes me think “yeah, still looking”

At least it's not, "Rock solid, heart touching".

Haha. I recently built a computer with a gigabyte motherboard and that was my second thought.

My first thought was “pshaw, my previous computer didn’t require this much popping the CMOS battery out in order to boot”.

It’s worked okay since but my impression isn’t that the motherboard is particularly reliable.
