  1. It's really weird seeing people call him 2ManySnacks.  He'll always be 2Snacks.

     

    What's next, people start talking about that hot new video creator, Cyber's Hell?

      Its a bizarre case where a creator's alt/scraps channel becomes more popular than his main one.

  2. Every time I get dragged into a real life political conversation I have to cut myself off just before I start using various phrases favored by Terry Davis.

      Just use them anyway, the conversation will be cut off immediately

      It's probably okay to slip in "I like elephants and God likes elephants."

  3. If you drew a character designed as reverse trap, and then said that that character was actually male, would that be a double reverse trap?

    1. Idiot Cube

      That would be a disarmed reverse trap.

      I think cube's onto something

  4. The most insane idea that I know:

     

    "This company bought the rights to the franchise, therefore they determine what is canonical in it."

     

    Seriously, the more you think about this idea, the less sense it makes.

      Star Wars fans: "First time?"

      This isn't in response to any specific development.  I am against the idea that rights holders can change canon, period.

       

      Suppose that Sherlock Holmes was not in the public domain, and that the best mystery author in the world bought up the rights and wrote a book which had an amazing mystery and perfectly extended the character arcs of Holmes, Watson, etc.  It would still be idiotic to say that this author used his legal rights to add to the Holmes canon.

  5. Pros and cons of becoming known as "that guy who still watches VHS tapes":

     

    Pros: People will randomly give you free VHS tapes.

      Hey I have a stack of religious kids' programming on VHS, I'm sure you want all of it right?

    2. Gyokuyoutama

      Gyokuyoutama

      Honestly I find that stuff less annoying than "hey, here's a copy of Back to the Future that I've watched fifty times."

       

      At least weird religious kids' programming is unlikely to be available on DVD or bluray.

  6. If you watch this video ten times in a row you can almost believe that old SPUF still exists.

      I recently went out of my way to find the skyward sword saxton hale cutscene edit where he's falling after Link and that channel is like a portal back to 2011 SPUF as well

      It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

  7. Every couple of weeks I look at the recommendations youtube gives to a browser with no history, just so that I can feel like killing myself.

  8. Someday there will be enough distance in time for people to claim that Daikatana was actually a innovative classic that was ahead of its time.

     

    I mean, if they do it for Omikron it's going to happen eventually for Daikatana.

  9. If I ever get a time machine all I'm going to do is go back to the late nineties and make predictions of the future during online deathmatches.

      you mean you won't be a key part of The Simpsons' animation team?

  10. There's about the same amount of time between now and Half-Life's release as Half-Life's release and Space Invaders's release.

    1. Raison d'être

      Raison d'être

      A clip from the Simpsons was recommended to me yesterday. It was the Itchy and Scratchy land episode from Season 6 I think (might've been 7). There was a joke where Homer and Marge saw a 70s themed nightclub, and all I could think was how this 24-year old episode was making jokes about things that happened 24 years before it. Does anybody make 90s jokes now? I know they'll never make 00s jokes.

  11. They're making an Interspecies Reviewers anime.

     

    I'm now convinced that us anime fans deserve all the scorn that has been heaped upon us.

      I shouldn't have googled that. 

  12. Had someone e-mail me several times over the course of the week saying I had sent him the wrong file.  At first I assumed I did and resent it.  But then he said that I sent him the wrong file again. 

     

    I double and triple checked, and it was the right file and so I sent a long e-mail explaining to him what the purpose of the file was and how I know he has the right file.  He responds almost immediately "No, it's the wrong file again!" 

     

    Then a few minutes later he sends an e-mail saying "Nevermind, it's the right file.  I didn't read it before so I didn't realize it had the right information."

      At least he finally got it. I'd never admit that mistake because I'm an asshole.

  13. RIP Erin's challenge.

      I guess the videos are back up but the quizzes and such were in flash format and seem to have been lost to the aether.

  14. Today marks three years.  Doesn't seem that long ago.

    1. Raison d'être

      Raison d'être

      Another three years soon...

  15. Isn't "early retirement" basically the same as "coming late to the NEET party"?

    1. Raison d'être

      Raison d'être

      Technically, yes. But I think NEET has acquired a meaning beyond its literal definition, and that excludes people who've worked for long enough to retire early. They are NEET skinwalkers.

  16. It's Tuesday night.

    I've got a can of Dr. Pepper in one hand and my flip phone in the other.

    Chicken tendies warming in a microwave I got from a junkyard.

    I'm set to tuturu.

  17. Apparently GOG Galaxy broke when it comes to fetching games.  I'm using the old version, though I wouldn't be surprised if this happened in the new version.

     

    I discovered this when I decided to reinstall TIE Fighter only for it not to show up, despite me knowing for a fact I had purchased it and previously played it.  But it doesn't show up at all in searches of the library in Galaxy.  On the website it does show up, and when checking this out I noticed that I had literally one hundred more games listed on the website compared to Galaxy.

     

    I'm 90% sure I've found the issue.  Anything sold in a bundle will not show up on Galaxy.  So TIE Fighter didn't show up because GOG actually bundles the original game, the CD rerelease, and the 1998 "special edition" remake using the X-Wing vs. TIE fighter engine.  Similarly none of my Space Quest games show up since they are sold in a 1-3 bundle and a 4-6 bundle.  Anything with more than one entry to the store purchase won't show up.

     

    It had to have happened recently, since I successfully installed SWAT 2 about a month ago and that comes in a bundle with SWAT 1 (and neither game shows up in my galaxy library at the moment.)  DOOM and DOOM II even vanished from the galaxy version of the library due to the enhanced editions of those games being given to people who had previously purchased them.

      Sounds like a bundle of fun! Ha ha ha.

    Understanding this dumbass joke feels like one of the biggest steps I have taken towards fluency.

      I feel like a pleb upon breaking out jisho cuz I should have known it just from the prompt that it was a joke

  19. If I needed to explain to someone what the 00's era internet was like, I would link them to this ZZT World:

  20. Is Moby the Duck a reference to Moby Dick?

     

    If so, am I retarded for taking this long to notice?

    1. Moby

      Moby

      Yes. At first it was just "Moby Duck" when I began using the nickname on my first Ragnarok Online character.

       

      Specifically, the idea came from this episode of Fairly Odd Parents with Tom Sawyer where he changes the "i" in Moby Dick to an "u".

      Conclusion: Very yes.

  21. We need a good quick term for ChatGPT and StableDifussion style algorithms other than AI.

     

    Seeing people talk about "AI" as if no one ever used the term before two years ago feels like being gas lit.  I've even seen someone say "I want to be one of the first people to make games that use AI."

      I propose "strainer", as in spaghetti strainer! It takes in a large amalgamation of material, then kinda shakes it around until only the desired portion remains. 

       

      ChatGPT is a "sentence strainer", stable diffusion is an "image strainer", etc.

  22. I'm still in a dream, SPUF eater.

  23. If the Nielsen company sends you a survey thing asking what TV Shows you watch, make sure to write down My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

     

    Every time I've done that they've sent me at least 20 bucks.

  24. Is there anything worse than carefully planning out your burn to clear an opponent's ridiculously full board then getting killed next turn by some haste stuff...

     

    ...only to realize that you could have won if you had just burned his face instead.
