Last month my friend asked what I wanted for my birthday and I said I wanted their The Internet is Dead hoodie. I don't think I'm getting that hoodie.
Oh, why not?

Roguelikes. I'm not saying some of the modern roguelites aren't fantastic, there are many that are. But the genre boom has all but pushed traditional roguelikes (NetHack, ADoM, Angband, Brogue, etc) out of the conversation.
I love how hard they gatekeep /r/roguelikes to keep it true to the genre. One of my favorite things is going there to watch all the modern clueless "roguelike" lovers get downvoted to oblivion.

Nazi ideology, OP OP. There was a nice little thing we had once, until you cunts took it up like a hoard of malignant nihilist pussies
Now we can't even bring up the Third Reich's many incredible qualities in conversation without someone rolling their eyes! n-chan numpties ruin every fandom./ss
lmao about the /ss

anime
it's become waay too popular and drowned in a sea of mediocrity
eh it hasn't declined in popularity to the point people think you're talking about some ancient thing when you mention it

This post did not contain any content.
did people even read the last 3 green lines?

Ok, so yes it was cool. But even when it first came out the people that were really into it were weird.
Hey, I was weird and off-putting, but at least I wasn't generic, weird and off-putting.

I'll be honest here; anime has always been a large sea of mediocrity, with the few sprinklings of stuff that is occasionally actually good, and some incredibly rare few things that are consistently good.

Green day, offspring, and sum41 are all very solidly in the pop/punk genre, debatably leaning more pop...
wrote last edited by [email protected]Yes they are. I count it as pop punk.

All of their merch sold out incredibly quickly as a show of support after they got dropped by their talent agency. Looking at their Shopify now they have absolutely no listing for any clothes so I doubt that collection is coming back.

yeah sorry Anon, go fuck yourself and your nazi skull flag. That shit's the Totenkopf, what, did the new generation of chuds ruin Nazi for you? Poor fuckin' baby.
Now, now it is only a Totenkopf if it is from a distinct region of Germany.

Punk was big in the late 70s - mid 80s, though? I thought the big boom was early 80s. It was buried under things like nu-metal and emo in the late 90s (I'm fuzzy on this because of reasons).
correct, should've clarified, I was big into what was at the time, old-school punk. As I was not alive in the late 70s.
I welcomed the punk-rock wave of the 90s with open arms.

Totally punk, you know what isn't? being an elitist about a music genres, specially punk

wrote last edited by [email protected]Ah. I didn't know. Good to hear that people are supporting, sucks that you can get one though. I was gonna get a shirt and a couple vinyls a while back, but the shipping was more than I wanted to pay sadly.
Edit: can't, not can in the second sentence.

I think it’s a right place / right time sort of thing. I have never gone back and rewatched an old favorite without regretting it. Things that meant a lot to me at the time just hit different from a different head space, and revisiting that old space just makes the flaws more noticeable.

lore
Let me interject with my unasked opinion:
Aa far as I'm concerned the trouble started when we stopped calling it fluff and started calling it lore (and treating it with such reverance) instead.wrote last edited by [email protected]And Tolkien's Legendarium is just a bunch of hastily-written bedtime stories for Chris, right?

yeah actually that closely matches my observations

This is why I either went with Chaos (during my adolescence, mostly outgrew them) or Aeldari. I mean, they aren't that much better from a lore perspective, but at least they give everyone a chance to suffer equally...
What I also appreciate about Chaos is that their writers know they're evil. I swear the people writing loyalist books forget that the Imperium is basically as bad as the rest in its own way.

Alt-codes are for nerds

I really think more text formatting should do as mobile devices do and just auto convert two hyphens into an em dash. Make it simple, i beg.
Two hyphens are an en-dash. Try 3 for em. Filthy casuals!
(Obvious /s but yea don’t mean to insult.)

I hate that I'm writing this because I'm gonna sound like the *"to be fair * copy pasta but, the fact that it's so lame and stupid is kind of the whole point of the bit.
He gives his big "I'm pickle Riiiiick!" presentation like it's supposed to be some big huge awesome thing, and it's presented like a punchline that you're supposed to laugh at and find funny... Then it's a hard cut to Morty's disappointed, slightly concerned face for a solid 10 seconds. Morty is you, the viewer, painfully unimpressed by what is presented as, well, "the funniest shit ever".
Remember in an earlier episode when Rick makes a reference to the non-existent Redgren Grumblholdt, and the kids laugh because they think it's supposed to be funny and just want to fit in? Those are the people that the "funniest shit ever" meme is about. People that are fed an intentionally bad joke, don't understand the irony behind the bad joke, but sees that everyone else is laughing at the bad joke, so they pretend the joke is funny. Two people laughing at the same thing for entirely different reasons.
The whole Pickle Rick plotline is just background events anyways. The meat and potatoes of the episode is with Dr Wong.

Roblox. I played it as a kid around 2007 when it was just a small Lego-like building game with your friends. It's been really weird seeing it become some predatory, monetized app game that kids play on their iPad now.
For reference, I'm almost 30 and haven't played it since I was like 14. My friend's kid was playing Roblox on his tablet and asked if I "heard of this new app game called Roblox" and it hurt my soul.
wrote last edited by [email protected]I remember when my nephew first asked if I knew about Roblox. I was so excited to build some stuff with him, until he showed me this crappy superhero fighting simulator. I can't complain too much, since it's basically the new-age version of crappy flash games, but it was still a disappointment.
