hi harvey, i'm glad you're out and feeling good. welcome to the internet! have a million people sent you that bo burnham song? for reference this is the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1BneeJTDcU For further reference, Bo Burnham is one of the earlier internet celebrity success stories, he was popular on Youtube for writing silly parody songs when he was 16 and had tons of sucess but started having anxiety attacks on stage and quit his career for several years, only releasing this new work during the pandemic, at age 30. The arc of his life being that he was 'raised' by the internet and he now views as a dark thing which allows us to indulge our worst habits.

MrQwerty posted:this website originally began as a spinoff of Planet Quake and Planet Half-Life, two websites run by Gamespy 24 years ago about Quake and Half-Life; so in its origins, it is a videogame community. A lot of the old timers like myself came here from there, and the community grew from that when Lowtax started the forums after he left PQ and started his own website with Fragmaster from PHL. this is SA lore I honestly didn't know so you're telling me, we should actually be blaming Gamespy for 4chan?

harveys zoo zoos posted:oh i had to google search those. my cousin has a playstation that he let me play, i don't remember the game. are those things better than computers for games OP, the current Nintendo system is called a Switch, it's like a super fancy game boy that can hook up to your tv. You can use it on the go because it has a tiny screen. Anyway one of the most celebrated games for the Switch is the Zelda game from 2017, Breath of the Wild. It's known for being a large world you can explore as you please, you can fly through the sky and take things at your own pace. You start off with almost nothing in the middle of the map, and you can choose to fight Ganon right then with a stick and just 3 hearts, or you can explore to get stronger. You have the freedom to proceed how you like. The sequel, Tears of the Kingdom, was just released May 12 and people are going nuts for it. It's wholesome and engaging. Anyway my rec is you should pick up a Switch and both/either Zelda games. StrangersInTheNight fucked around with this message at 22:44 on May 24, 2023 |

WAR CRIME GIGOLO posted:The 'in a vacuum' part just a bit too internet culture for me to buy this at this very moment. w-what 'in a vacuum' is not internet culture or SA poo poo, that poo poo's been said since the ~1600s when we discovered the science of vacuums and white people have been talking to each other about white privilege for a while, but it is especially gonna come from a guy reading uk le guin and such while incarcerated.

i lost my gang tags bc of a red text and need to begin again, a harvey gang tag would be great edit: to clarify for harvey - the users here can, if they so choose, pay to add red text under another users avatar. someone bought a red text for me and it was a kinda hosed up one, and the mods were kind enough to fix my setup to this avatar/text combo which makes no sense so I love it, but yeah in the process all my gang tags were nuked.

Pink Mist posted:The facebook/twitter style of website became more popular. The likes/followers/short posts/etc. are designed specifically to keep people clicking. And there’s also no paywall so posting is easier Yeh, this is why we already had the weird content mill tweets, where people just post images of SA posts with spicy meta-commentary like 'lol I'm dying' and 'goons  'People seeking their dopamine hits from stripmining forums content for their handful of Twitter followers is...well, welcome to the internet in 2023, OP.

Starship Troopers is weird bc it's a parody of the book from which it's based, basically thumbing it's nose at the original book, but you'd had to have read the book to get that, so a whole generation of 10 yo boys who saw it all they took away was BUGS, BLAM BLAM, OOH UNISEX SHOWERS

WAR CRIME GIGOLO posted:I heard the phrase "in a vacuum" and immediately fingered the poster as a goon I maintain this is the dumbest justification for why it's fake bc 'in a vacuum' is not a goon phrase Other people have pointed out way more valid reasons, but it was fun to believe and play along.

This thread was fun but now no one's going to play along anymore, so unfortunately it's going to devolve. Thanks for the wholesome good time while it lasted, folks.
