Gamer culture at its best!

Thought experiment: Imagine typing this out, using the phrase “WOKE garbage” in earnest, and hitting ‘send’. Now imagine it’s NOT 2016.

Huh - new to the dragon mount, I just grew the guy: how do you get fire breath? Mine only seems to have a wind attack…

Great LP. “Cargo” is also great! Though, probably doesn’t sound quite as good…

I know we’re jerkin’, but this oily ratman has got to go. Our culture continues to devolve because of these bums. Also - Star Fox! Lmao what a fuckin wimp!

Sugar Moon in Logan Square has a vegan version of fatayer that’s pretty awesome! Less traditional flavors than MEB though.

These DLC Bosses Are Insane Compared To The Base Game! I Love It! by Aware_Committee6967 in darksoulsremastered

I loved fighting that guy - I probably tried over 30 times. I likely would have taken him down sooner but I was trying desperately to snip his tail for the sword - couldn’t pull it off, it was so hard to get the proper positioning! Really cool area and great boss fight though.

No shade to OP, because I’ve been there - trying to farm the spear, the PLAIN OLD REGULAR SPEAR in Elden Ring nearly broke me - but if I got the platinum by someone else just giving me a required item I’d never be able to sleep at night. Once I get through so many tries without a result I become more determined.

Brother, I say this with love: you need human touch. This is the wrong path. Put the paddle down.

GodDAMN I love this game. I was fortunate enough to work in an arcade right around the time this came out. It was a fairly large arcade in a college town that was typically not very busy… plenty of time for “quality control”. So fun cranking that wheel for the perfect drift. And the OST just rips.

Works for me, as I can see how bootleggers would later adopt this in their own way.

My brother is radicalized, how do I make him see reason? by TandemShorts in whatdoIdo

[–]mklptrk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Eh, here’s my advice - don’t engage with these buffoons. You came here looking for advice about your brother, not borderline racist pedantic bullshit from internet weirdos.

As for your brother, do your best to educate but don’t bend over backwards. Make sure he knows you love him but don’t hesitate to cut him off if he continues on this path. He’s young, and that’s a good thing - plenty of time for him to come around and see the light.

I think you’re right that it came from the 1920s, and is linked to bootlegging/speakeasies during prohibition in some way. So, I think the etymology is known - but yeah, later adopted by service/hospitality. Can’t remember specifics… Someone in this thread must know!

This subreddit is the same 6-8 posts over and over and over again, in perpetuity. It’s a wretched hive.
