I remember when the stair muffin thing was a joke, at least vaguely.

Well he definitely doesn't deserve it, on the other hand people who keep fence sitting this whole culture Clash outta know they'll just get thrown in the pit sooner or later for not kissing the ring of the progressives.

You ever go to the clinic thinking you have herpes

says a lot about their audience that this is a common touchstone for them.

Seriously, have we hit a fucking time warp or something? Have all the gamer-gate time travelers sowing misogyny and racism through the time line cracked the temporal constant or something because I swear we've been here before

The consumerism in nerd culture has gotten to epidemic levels and been nothing but bad on multiple fronts: hobbies that used to encourage DIY aspects are all but gone in the name of selling more products, scalping and limited runs have become so common now even some companies are trying to step in. Tell your friend to keep an ear to the ground, I don't know when the bottom will drop out but I'm guessing sooner than later.

This is the EA Madden of NPC updates, I think they might've shifted a few numbers but it looks pretty much identical to the last iteration.

Eh the effects weren't always amazing but on rewatch with my niece I was surprised at how effective it could be with the less-is-more approach. Also it was a Canadian production right before we became a glorified hollywood backlot so they had some pretty elaborate set pieces and locations.

What and actually have to try? The pokemon franchise resisted the move to 3d like a goddamn honey badger, they'll be dragged into anything other than incremental innovation kicking and screaming..

I'm surprised they don't brag more openly. What does it matter? People aren't going to have any contrition, they'll say "Oh good, it was taken out of context!" and ignore the part where they were duped. we're looking at a situation where maybe in 50-70 years they'll make some mealy-mouthed apology about it during a lull in business and news.

Exactly, I remember saying all kinds of insulting and awful things to a couple of friends who were in clearly unhealthy relationshits. I didn't say these things to 'be mean' or 'because your a dick' like many women claimed, I said it because I took personal umbrage seeing people I cared about be treated so badly and getting them angry was the only way to get through to them.

Wait, I thought the whole reason they pissed their pants over sbidetected was because gamers were making lists and collating names. It feels like they change the facts to suit whatever they want to say in the moment.

They'd be better off having the red cross sponsor the idea for a fighting game where your hooked up to a dialysis machine designed to spray blood at the screen every time you take a hit. First one to pass out loses!

Man it seems so quaint now that it expanded to 'fans dont have to be your audience" in everything.

The Canadian truckers movement & adjacent Freedom ones essentially went back to exclusively complaining online and getting into purity spiral slapfights internally with each other.

Its really pathetic, most of the people who dropped their tofu in horror once they woke up to reality a year ago are now trying to run the movement and turning up their noses at the ppc. Take back canada spent more time shunning would be followers who had the audacity to notice earlier than them, got like 20 people at their joke of a protest and still got called a hate rally.

Eh, I keep saying the dam will eventually break and the 'nerdmania' will be remembered half chortled like everyone's obsession with Australia back in the day. Thing is I really wonder who, if anyone will be left to pick up the pieces.
