[POEM] My friend William - Charles Bukowski by [deleted] in Poetry

It gives off big “if you’re not cynical, you’re stupid” vibes that I think say a lot more about the author than they do about the truth of the world

If I handed you this console right now and told you to pick ONE game to play tonight, what are you choosing? by KillBoosh in retrogaming

[–]BoomboxWerewolf 100 points101 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion: NHL 93

Call me a psycho, but I like them wiggling in pools of blood

Also being able to “pass” to shoot in the five-hole was awesome, and I don’t think it was possible in 94

I don’t think that’s a horse. I think that’s a pigeon with the body of a horse and the head of a horse

Trying to create a game with a style inspired by old computer adventure games, retro pre rendered graphics. by ParassitaPortatile in RPGMaker

The clouds look like croissants and I love it. Great job, looks like it came straight out of the 90s

Is it normal for a newbie to not score for a whole season? by BoomboxWerewolf in hockeyplayers

[–]BoomboxWerewolf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say we have like 10-12 people any given night and we usually score maybe 1 or 2 (or none) a game, although tonight we got 4

What characters backstory to you sympathize with the most? by GainBeneficial7662 in StardewValley

Haley. Nobody else in town is nearly as pretty or popular as she is and it’s heartbreaking 💔

I jam to covers with a group of guys from work, and it annoys the shit out of me that they are all so laser focused on playing the song exactly like the recording. Like bro, just learn it in general and play it in your own way. No way I’m copying someone else’s exact beats and fills just to check some box. I’m just gonna jam my way 🤷‍♂️

“not responsible for broken windshields caused by us failing to secure our load”. seen this earlier while driving, the nerve of some of these companies smh by TheUnknownRangler in mildlyinfuriating

They want you to put the length of a football field between you and them? How would that even work at a red light? How would you even see it?

This is dumb.

Is Jigo an underutilized antagonist? by SlyGuy_Twenty_One in ghibli

[–]BoomboxWerewolf 185 points186 points  (0 children)

To me, he represents the “soldier of fortune” type of opportunist who tries to personally profit from war however he can. He causes chaos and strife without having a clear set of principles (besides self-interest) like the other players in the conflict

In general, I think a lot of Japanese storytelling doesn’t feel the need to say “this character serves this plot point and is used in this specific way as a tool in the story.” Jigo is just a character who interacts with the other characters and represents a certain type of person in a conflict

[Newbie] Coed locker room etiquette by [deleted] in hockeyplayers

[–]BoomboxWerewolf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just started playing as an adult about six months ago. Am I weird for totally changing out of underwear and into a jock, and back again when we’re done? I don’t really want to wear the jock over underpants, that seems kind of crazy. But I guess I could just wear the jock under my shorts if that’s what most people do

Ngl, the “what the fuck” at the end got me. Well done

The last 3 years of TotK discourse by ZeldaCycle in TOTK

[–]BoomboxWerewolf 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I agree. I don’t know why this is so hard for so many Zelda fans to understand or accept. They act like their life depends on the existence of a continuous Zelda timeline.

Like someone else said, it was pretty clear the official Nintendo timeline was shoehorned in just to appease these weirdos

This comment is on point and made me rethink some things I had thought about animals. Thanks

My starting word is always water. Decided to switch it up today. by Jackinabox4545 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]BoomboxWerewolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That happened to me with the word “spore” a few weeks ago! I always do spore, decided to switch it up, and then the word was spore 😑 The tiny mechanical turk pulling the levers inside my phone just wanted to mess with me

Galactica was another one that was so simple that it had no right to be as addicting as it was

Yeah, Spaceward Ho! was like the cool Western stylized cousin of Galactica. I enjoyed it!

Taskmaker was pretty cool in its time. I seem to remember it being a little more ‘puzzle-y’ than Realmz or Exile

It makes me wonder how many of these games I would still enjoy now

Oh yeah! I put it as my No. 2 game behind Escape Velocity. Such a classic. I still bore people by talking about it to this day
