a lotta twitter guys who think 'look just don't let the girls wear tight shorts around Uncle Frank okay? Don't make things uncomfortable at the family reunion' is a valid stance think some random HBO bitch should have suicide bombed her meemaw's birthday because of a shirt.

yes, every one of these 'sever, as soon as you see uncle Joe in a stupid shirt walk away and cancel him on twitter' freaks has their own line and that line is almost always genuine abuse that they can rationalize as a 'private issue' far easier than the easy clout of going 'actually I'd shoot my own mother in the face for wearing a 'make sixty great again' red hat and if you wouldn't you're a fascist'.

Because graphic designers always feel compelled to put their own spin on things even if it means using a lovely design that they created rather than a good one that they didn't

this is a fighting game? i thought she was a boss considering her ridiculously high hp

not a very good one mind you id expect most of the challenge in a boss fight against a character like that would be hitting her at all

I feel like I want to say "it's not like the 90s anymore where you have to make a new version of a popular game every few years because the graphics aren't being constantly revolutionized like they were back in the day" but I'm worried that saying that would officially make me middle-aged

the 2 years between mario games used to feel like forever, now four years feels like a blip

What makes it all the more stranger is that Nostalgia is just another word for homesickness. Someone who was born in the 90s/00s, who pines for the culture of an era they didn't live through and that they've only experienced through rose-colored reproductions of that era - they are homesick for a home they've never lived in. Incredibly strange stuff.

So much my internal culture was just boomer poo poo I absorbed from media since that was the era of 50s-70s nostalgia media. Since then it's been 80s nostalgia non stop for like 2 decades. I can't even pick out anything that would stand out from the 2000s since the future was cancelled and pop culture decentralized then thanks to the internet, since people weren't just watching one of 5 channels or listening to the same radio station as everyone else.

It really seems like it's all older people watching who just don't post about media online. Like yes they'll post whatever insane political view they have or how "it used to be a better america" or whatever but they're not going online at 10pm to post anything about whatever TV show just ended.
