So Riker says to Riker 'I say Riker my good fellow, that ol' chap Riker's up to something in the thread. Says that Riker's the one calling other Riker's out on their bad DPS.'
And Riker replies 'What ho Riker I thought it was all about Riker's strategy video's compared to Riker's. And that Riker had to be carried through A12s.'
'Nay Riker, you just have to check his Rikerlogs to verify that. Not that anyone who actually cares uses that site.'
'Riker you silly fop, just because people like to wave their Riker-peen around does not mean that Rikerlogs is a perfectly valid tool for all Riker's to use.'

And then Riker flipped to the left. Turnways.

I haven't changed my avatar since I registered.. It even fits the size rules from back then. I wonder if I should find ally get a new one. Also the forums name character limit would support my actual nickname, I could change that too! Fascinating.

Don't you only have to pay half the price for the upgrade if you've already got Rev 1? Just get it on PS4 if that's the case.

Wow that Marvel Vs Capcom roster leak better be fake or else that game is screwed. There's barely any new characters and the smaller roster makes the game a serious step down from the last one.

This is the only downside of my current avatar. I picked it because it looks awesome as gently caress, but it's not like I identify with Immortan Joe or want people to read my posts like he's saying them.

My old av was snake plisskin morphing into big boss and back again in classy black and white.

Yeah, but sometimes if an avatar seems agressive, and can influence perception of the tone of an otherwise neutral post.

That's funny, because every time I see your avatar I try to see it as something other than you deciding that threatening a woman with a cattle prod is the best way to represent yourself online. I haven't had much success, but I'm not familiar with the source material so maybe it super empowering or sle thing.

E: it's me, the guy who thinks about avatars.

It's you guys, twitter, tumblr, or discord. And this is the only place that really loves to talk games, outside of Discord - but Discord's more of a case of finding niche chatrooms than general chill places to talk about anything.

The piracy thing is one of the times when I think his attempt at satire didn't quite land and I wish he'd own up to it.

That video's point is about how Nintendo is abusing copyright law, so his reasoning is that turnabout is fair play: if Nintendo isn't going to respect the rights of creators, that means we're free not to respect their rights as creators. It was supposed to be an over-the-top argument but I don't think it worked, and honestly he probably still stands by it because he enjoys angering people who he thinks are petty.

I think his video where he somehow got Nintendo of Japan and Nintendo of America to make conflicting copyright claims on the same video was a much more compelling argument about Nintendo's copyright nonsense, honestly.

Nintendo has horrible business practices and you should pirate every game you can

My avatar is carefully crafted. Primary colors disarm the viewer with their simplicity, it's a physical representation of a mildly obscure cartoon indicating a healthy enjoyment of whimsy while being grounded in reality, it has eyes and a mouth to stir empathy in the viewer and give a face to my posts but isn't aggressive or scary, my peach flesh is on display holding the rock (my persona, if you will) so I can be scorned appropriately, like a boulder on campus it can be decorated for different seasons, and it's not anime.
