If the current iteration of Mario or Mario Kart were released today without the nostalgiabait and brand recognition, they’d be the laughing stock of the industry.

This was very convenient, thanks. Now I know I can safely ignore every opinion you have on every matter.

…so, wumao, or just delusional?

“I just want to know why you have such an objection to sea lions”

Slop

Future generations will look at people who think there will be sapient general AI the same as how we today view people who thought there would be a microfiche machine in every home by now.

That’s in interesting point of view, but I was just making a joke about goats.

Biting the hand that feeds has always been his style.

I think that kind of approach is pretty me-e-e-e-e-e-eh

Pot, meet kettle.

It’s top notch. Those who just want to be smol beans chilling with their chonkerinos and insist their hecking nostalgiarinos be pure as m’lady herself can go tip their fedoras on over to a private server. Make sure not to come back.

If you thought Summoning 2 or The Other One were going to be better skills, you do not know ball. It is a bona-fide Old-School skill, and the only thing incongruous about it is that it’s fun.

This is a slow and boring game and that’s part of the appeal. If you think the core gameplay loop of Sailing is boring, try doing some Fletching or Smithing without any other stimulation but the game music. If you think it’s too much like a minigame, go do some Farming, the literal Herblore minigame that was made solely to be a dailyscape chore that would increase login counts. It fits Old School better than some aspects of Old School do.

tl;dr fits OSRS like a glove, landlubbers maldin

I did acknowledge Lebron, and Kobe, and others when I said Kareem is the only one who comes close. That’s their place in that conversation: incidental mention as part of a collective.

Are they trying to look scared shitless to undermine the whole farce, or do they actively want to create a martyr? Those are the only two options that don’t require a room temperature IQ.

While this is all of course incredibly stupid and incredibly reprehensible, I also have to point out the author’s disrespect:

one of the greatest basketball players in history

One of? Jordan is the undisputed greatest of all time and Kareem is the only one who’s even near his level, but it’s not really arguable between them.

Also it isn’t funny. Not in the “boo hoo that’s NOT FUNNY!” crybaby sense, but in the “99.999% of all standup comedy” sense. I’ve heard that in Foreign Lands you can’t pull a prank once the clock strikes noon, or else you are the April fool and presumably get put in a stock and pillory till sundown.

“And they’re almost all brown, right? Can we do better than just 1.2?”

Inb4 people come here to defend their self-righteousness. No, nephews. You made a stupid choice for stupid reasons, and it’s time to accept your core values are obnoxious and self-centered, and then shape up.

Which is really reprehensible, because if you’re going to kill someone, you need to look them in the eye as you dart past the swing of their knife and plunge your own into their chest behind the truck stop where my greyhound was refueling on that rainy night in 1991

That’s grinding on hard cocks, not waking up at 4:00 AM to run your dropshipping business and deadlift.

Spez bent over because they were both on that island but Elon has pictures.

Ha ha “pew research”
