As someone who grew up with multiple kids who both had lots of these controllers and met the other criteria of the original title it felt a little harsh tbqh. As an IZ lurker I appreciated the title change so that I can also participate in the fun.

Returnal was a banger. I enjoyed Ragnarok for what it was and I’ve been happy using it as a media center with games available on other platforms tbh. Oh and couple that with I didn’t own a PS4 so I got to go back and play poo poo like Bloodborne and Ace Combat 7 for next to nothing and it fuckin’ owned.

Fun AI trick I learned in Into the Breach is that the (surprisingly prescient)/weirdly shrewd AI avoids tiles afflicted with fire/burning as fatal even if they aren’t. This becomes important late game when enemies are damage sponges and you can use fire to essentially block enemy units away from vulnerable objectives.

Enemy units also don’t seem to recognize when they are on fire and will behave normally even if they will burn to death before they get to act next turn.

Fire team has pulled away from ice team as my favorite.

I'm pretty sure Microwave had nothing to do with that thread or at least wasn't the one who started it, because I distinctly remember the mom in the OP not being Microwave's mom. I think Microwave was also not happy about people being horny for his mom so I don't think he would have posted it in that insane thread.

I can't find the "yummy mommy" thread but SAclopedia links to a thread Samurai Asspirate made about wanting to gently caress his stepmom (https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=2429042). It references the "yummy mommy" thread but the link does not work to me.

What a time to be alive that was.

i used to chat w/ microwave on aim

he was cool and was not at all horny for his mom for the record
i don't remember how her pic ended up on the forums, i think it was in a benign "post a pic of ur parents" thread or something & he thought it was creepy how people far people took it (people took it way too far)
iirc, it drove him off sa, but i could be mistaken

Does anybody remember who that red headed girl was that posted in ylls (i think it was still "watch and weight" at that time) that lost a bunch of weight and some shady weight loss program stole her before and after pics? I wonder if she was able to sue them. I would be so pissed if that happened to me after all that hard work

It's been years, but no. There wasn't any resolution to her pics being used by a bunch of disposable scam sites. She moved on and hasn't posted here since 2015, but I saw her before and after pic somewhere like imgur a couple years ago, so it's still going around.

"If I lose I will set myself on fire."
Here's one of my favorites. It's a bit of a different one too. And a recent-ish one as far as most History/Legends/Tales go. From 2021.

https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3976848

Goon lurks for 12 whole years and decides to post for the first time in the car forum because he is on safari somewhere and runs into troubles with his car. Gets helped by car goons.

It's not an incredibly funny thing or anything. It's just nice. Because it has a happy ending and is not about. No one turns out a pervert or admits to any crimes or whatever.
The goon does ignore all advice though!!! Classic. But I guess this is more because being in the middle of nowhere you might not have that great of an internet connection and they missed it somehow and they do get it figured out.
