I was too old for Channel Awesome and I can't stand people with speech impediments (not his fault obviously) so I have no idea what Linkara is talking about.

It's from the Nostalgia Critic's Bloodrayne review with Linkara and Spoony. Been years since last saw the review itself but this gif is eternal.

I sympathize because the worst sites love to mock him for it. Also somehow I had never actually taken much notice of POGGERS and everything related to it. edit: At least it isn't Lindsay's FreddieGotFingered Gif DeafNote fucked around with this message at 00:59 on Jan 9, 2021 |

Wait, Linkara has a speech Impediment? What is it? I cant tell... Sydin posted:lmao hbomb and quinton in the comments like "yeah but you gotta admit it's a great .gif" That's a great gif! I'd be proud of it if I was Lewis. Maybe it's just the association with Doug, which in that case, cant blame him.

Does a lisp even count as a speech impediment?

Adam Ragusea did a good piece on that - you never know what random thing you're part of is going to be the thing hung around your neck forever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoAgW3U9XRE

You guys 1000 percent say room as rum, roof as ruf, and root as rut. My mom used to get mocked by my dad's side of the family for saying "rut beer". Not sure where you're from but my mom's family sounds straight out of Fargo (and so did one of my former coworkers from Minnesota).

I grew up near the twin cities and have been in the duluth area for several years. I've legit only heard a "Minnesotan" accent used jokingly, I never heard it once growing up outside that context or actors affecting it. It's very strange, like obviously it came from somewhere, but it has to have died off since  .

I've met Minnesotans that don't have the accent strongly but they were in the minority.

Plot twist: Twitch brought back PogChamp but it now points to a different persons face every 24 hours That's a nice way to handle it

Famethrowa posted:holy poo poo Gootecks just really bums me out. Out of any internet personality I've followed that turned out to be terrible, he just makes me sad. Also, while watching the video, it was really weird realizing that the vast majority of people who know of him only know of him because of PogChamp and not for Excellent Adventures. Dias posted:Mike resurfaced a while ago, he's been streaming DOTA a bunch. Dude sounds a bit sedated and jaded but otherwise fine-ish. I didn't know he did DOTA, I've only ever see him stream Tekken and Guilty Gear. I think he may have even streamed SFV when Honda dropped, but I may have imagined that

So what's the countdown bet to him reactivating his account? Because Mike Cernovich barely made it 6 hours when he quit twitter.

I remember Linkara from his shameful superhero webcomic, like all the cool kids do. Well... that and I used to lurk on the Superdickery forums when I was like in high school and it was a kind of surreal experience seeing him and Anne Onymous of The Wotch fame chatting each other up on that forum.

Quinton's video was kinda weird because to most people he's just the PogChamp rando but I literally saw that pog advertising bit as it came out, so the whole tale of Excellent Adventures, Mike doing Capcom Pro Talk, burning the gently caress out in the process, going AWOL and Gootecks kinda slowly morphing into an alt-right grifter was pretty sad, yeah. Those two were probably the biggest faces of the FGC for a good while.

I've played dota with Mike before. He's very chill and just wants to chill and play video games. My friend keeps in contact with him sometimes, hes doing ok.

Srice posted:https://youtu.be/xb-DtICmPTY a bunch of pages back, but I finally finished watching (and then rewatching once more) and it just hits so good. at 4:26:40 he says (which is probably part of the thesis statement of this whole video, so I'll put it in spoiler. disregard this whole post if you have yet to watch this video and plan to do it) "when you make a game that feels like a person, you make a player that feels bad for treating that person like an object" I've been playing a lot of Fire Emblem: Three Houses, and one of the mechanics is finding 'Lost Items' that belong to students and faculty members around the school. Upon returning these items the character will say something along the lines of "I've been looking everywhere for this!", and will fully fill their motivation bar. Now, there are limited ways to raise motivation, and this one is pretty good. So you can hold off on giving these 'lost items' back, and return them to their owners when their motivation is low. So the ludonarrative is: you're stealing items from your students and friends, and giving them back at your convenience in order to manipulate them to liking you and raising their stats. Some of the items I couldn't find the owner. It makes me think that, had I not taken that item, that person would've retraced their steps and find it again. Now they'll never get it back. Once you gamify relationships you're either an rear end in a top hat at best, or a complete sociopath at worst.
