Maybe an audiophile thing? Completely smooth sinewave, and being smug about it?

I saw it on Games so that seems unlikely. Maybe it's just for being smug?

So what's going on with the flood of "<2 dogs screwing> You see? 10 bucks. I could have bought 2 new titles with that." custom titles? I'm pretty sure I've seen at least a dozen of them.

I'm not really sure why but the kinda make me laugh every time I see one.

While we're having this discussion, what is this coconut gun thing that keeps popping up in the QCS thread on GBS? Some gbs meme I missed? A word filter thing? A honey pot for people like me?

HookedOnChthonics posted:

The religious understanding and traditional cultural usage of the symbol in east asia outweighs its recent Western connotations so thoroughly that it's not really a big deal at all

There were some fin-de-siecle houses in the neighborhood where I grew up in the midwest that had brickwork swastika ornamentation that always slightly perplexed me, though. Too early to be Nazi for sure but I have some real difficulty imagining it as a place cosmopolitan enough to have indulged in orientalism.

The Holocaust is still within living memory and Neo-Nazi groups continue to use the swastika as their symbol of choice.

Has there ever been a case of someone waiting out a 100k-hour probe and then posting again? That's only eleven and a half years or so, so there's been plenty of time for it since The Beginning.

Fishmech did before she got perma'd IIRC. Moght not have been 100k but I'm pretty sure it was really long
