we need a special term for the kind of petit bootlickers that exist on rinky dink blogs. Like they don't even have the excuse of making a million dollars

are we past peak-"way-too-long youtube video essays"? Do people still find it enchanting when a video is 4 hours long for no reason?

walking into a room of venture capitalists and convincing them this is God

If you want a movie where Harrison ford plays the president, Disney makes it now

Sadly I think it's mostly marvel movies

It just feels like vestigial gamergate shit, a media ecosystem aimed at maladjusted redditors. The sooner we get rid of it the better

Multiplayer game rubbernecking is one of the most demented things about games media right now (to the extent that "games media" even still exists), truly poisonous. Hopefully the tide is turning and people who care about that stuff are rightfully scorned in the future

have you two ever watched DAISIES (1966)? I kind of consider it the Czech new wave Beavis and Butthead (unironically)

I think sometimes the person trying to run a social deduction/lying game doesn't *actually* believe other people when they say they don't like lying games. The people who do not like lying games REALLY do not like lying games

lol nice, I guess I should have been clear that the screenshot I posted was from Perfect Tides Station to Station, the sequel. However here's the thing: They're both good games, so now you get to play two good games

It's good

I'm going to keep posting Perfect Tides memes until everybody on earth plays it

"king's quest reverse isekai" language is beautiful

"guy who extrapolated way too much from a single archive.org or Google Books search"

this is a post only for people who have played Perfect Tides: Station to Station

People get so defensive and anxious about what they are or aren't "allowed" to say, as if the person telling you the actual meaning and context of a word is somehow to blame, and not the lazy reporter who apparently doesn't know any black people and can't be bothered to

This is a good post and the comments about incurious reporting are imo important. You should be concerned if you read or follow people who repeat false origins. Failing to give credit to black culture is insulting enough, and on top of that they simply aren't telling you the truth

Hello Maddie

I am declaring a moratorium on byte rollovers as trivia, especially if you have to hack a game to do it. It's not trivia, it's just how computers work. Thank you all for your attention on this matter.

I couldn't even remember the name. I thought it was "Martin" until I looked it up

Forgot all about this motherfucker. Is there a more forgettable daily comic than Marvin?? It's still running??

Nerds have always been annoying, that includes whatever privileged nerd demographic you think you belong to. It's kind of the defining quality of being a nerd. That said it should be illegal to be a redditor

My counter-hater response to this post is it's funny when old nerds pretend that using DOS makes them a computer scientist. DOS was mainstream consumer software, used in many cases by children. This is the Gen X version of millennials who think they are hackers because they made a geocities website.

This is indeed a bizarre part of video game "culture," people just posting literal commercials or toys as if they're important artifacts. Probably we should make fun of this more

Three comments on this post, which I think is a pretty funny cranky old gamer post, and I do appreciate a good old fashioned "ornery nerd" post:

Nice
