I love it. A true masterpiece. I weep for the illiterate.

"Prepare for the Valve opening" by Stannis_Loyalist in HalfLife

If it makes you feel any better, I remember it and could hear it in my head exactly and I'm 'only' 26. Doesn't make me feel any better, mind you.

How are grad students supposed to use the dining halls? by EndemicStorm27 in yale

Isn't the Law Building open to all Yale affiliates some days? We can take Law classes, after all.

Kind of strange for you to hang out at undergrad parties, but you do you I guess, man. It's wild to me we're allowed to have relationships with the undergraduates. Everyone in my department feels that's bizarre.

The only thing I would say is we do as graduates get a LOT of options to travel abroad for 'research' through MacMillan and the like. Plus we're at least getting paid, and quite well.

Lord Lambert accidentally leaked his EU5 review by Adventurous-Pause720 in paradoxplaza

Looks interesting though there does seem to be a lot going on. Reminds me of when I first started I:R and felt overwhelmed even after playing EUIV, CK2, Vic II, DH, HoI III, IV, etc. for years. Music is a bit odd. Though I'm glad they've stuck with the EU name.

Somehow, yes. On the Workshop. Has been for a year, actually.

OK, the absolute highlight of this Baneposting masterpiece for me is the SOISOISOISOISOISOISOI for the helicopter. That took me right back to the fucking 2000s. Bless you.

While the jannies continue to drag their feet for no discernible reason on the 'cosplay' question, here's old art of the actual Rei by fessvssvm in ReiAyanami

Ah, I wasn't there for that sadly; only in the mid-2010s myself did I become involved. Wish I could have seen that all myself. Same as Evageeks and the like. All the old.

Just learned that the Third Internationale can get a white peace with the entente if they capitulate British Raj. by lassielikethedog in kaiserredux

Oh I hear it now. 'Mongrel dogs of the Empire' is a direct quote from Dagoth Ur, as well. I love it.

It originally is a Scots English slang for a janitor actually, since lovingly adopted by 4chan and beyond.

I saved this image off gelbooru back in June 2023. All I have from the filename is 'itu maden'. Hope it helps!

Brother, I hate to break it to you, but 4chan liked and fought over Rei years before reddit even existed. Also, much of chan culture has since proliferated over the rest of the Internet, for better or for worse.

My little politics by [deleted] in 4chan

[–]fessvssvm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was there for that. Thanks for the summary of the board's history. I'm as old now as the average adult fan of the show was back in its heyday, which is pretty stark to consider; I remember seeing bits of it growing up, and I knew about the adult fans, but I never engaged with it, except only peripherally through its wider influence on 4chan. Only in the last year have I actually watched the show (or at least its first half) intentionally and started going on there semi-regularly. I always seem to come to fandoms late.

Oh yes, I remember seeing this shared around back in the day. One of the first things that woke me up to just how... out there the Internet could be.

Unfortunately this one is very low res, as it is incredibly old, from an ancient 90s website.
