I remember years ago when I was getting into the game I found MTGO, and it was the most janky client I’ve ever played on. The way you bought cards was like, topping up an account with credits and then opening a trade with some random bot and trading for the cards. Then a friend was like “you can just play with any cards for free” and showed me Cockatrice lol. Same thing happened when a group of us wanted to play D&D during covid lockdown so we all got tabletop simulator, downloaded the rule book pdfs and played that way.

A friend of mine plays warhammer and just 3D prints all his miniatures because fuck paying hundreds of dollars for what is essentially like 50 unpainted army men.

I’ve never been much of a movie person (I watch maybe one movie a year, if that) but every time I unwillingly see a clip or meme from those marvel-style movies it’s just so off-putting. It’s such a relief to be oblivious to it all

i love having strong connections to the Disney brand

if that’s actually a comrade that would be a really funny bit

Okay I haven’t really paid attention to whatever the hell Truth Social is other than it’s some kind of twitter clone, but are the posts on there really called Truths? lmfao

I remember when Genshin first came out people thought it was Japanese, and once they realized it was Chinese they tried organizing a boycott lol. Seems like it didn’t work considering the mountains of cash that game brings in now.

I was watching a video from a channel whose content I really liked and he brought up this game, which led to him making a China/winnie the pooh joke and my eyes rolled back into my head. There were some comments that were pretty similar to what you see on this video. It’s such a bummer when I find an otherwise cool channel and then they say some stupid shit about China/USSR/socialism/whatever and I’m reminded “oh yeah this is still a thing.” Feels like the channels I can stand watching are dwindling by the day.

Semi-related: it’s hilarious reading threads on reddit about this game breaking all kinds of concurrent player records and seeing all the insane levels of cope from redditors regarding China. So far I’ve seen people claim the players are actually all Chinese bots, Chinese people are only buying it to spite the west because they’re nationalists, and there’s also quite a few people just bewildered to learn that Chinese people are allowed to play games at all. lmao

That sub is probably full of actual neo-nazis.

It is for sure. I remember someone posting a screenshot from tankiejerk in which one of their users was asking why there were so many “far right opinions” there lol

like “hmm I wonder why this anti-communist sub I’ve joined has so many nazis in it. 🤷‍♂️ It’s a mystery”

it really betrays how shallow these people’s understanding of geopolitics is that they are constantly making these stupid charts; constantly trying to convince themselves that the world is as simple as “this side good, that side bad” like some kind of marvel movie. And the worst part is they’re so smug about it. They post these in their communities and everyone nods along like haha yup this is freaking epic bacon sir

I swear in every video like this, these IOF bozos are always standing near windows or out in the open, just making themselves excellent targets. Remember that video where the resistance poked a camera out of a hole like ~6 feet away from a group of them just sitting in a circle talking to each other and they didn’t even notice? You can just tell they’re so far out of their depth. Clown ass army.

my thought exactly; this is just wack. there are so many better things to vandalize

I remember as a kid during the summer in my area we would have maybe like a few days or a week of heat and that would be the heat wave for the year. Then it became 1-2 weeks of heat, then multiple heatwaves per year, and now it’s just common for the heat to hang around all summer and then a solid 2ish months of high temps from like October to mid/late November. Last year I was wearing my summer clothes through early December. very cool and not concerning at all

can we take a moment to appreciate that Yemen started doing this, got bombed by the U.S. (again), continued doing it, the U.S. begged them to stop with promises of treats and pats on the head, and Yemen was just like nah (with that baller line "We are not within the circle of those you dictate to”) and kept doing it? All while being one of the poorest countries in the world. Absolute king shit

I have known people like that, in their worldview, being blocked means he “won” and is automatically correct about whatever the debate was.

yeah when I block someone it’s because I don’t want to see their stupid shit in my notifications, not because I’m too scared of all their facts & logic lol

can’t wait to see libs get mad about this, completely missing the irony

this was always so weird to me. My parents at least have an excuse that they’re as broke as I am so I don’t expect it from them lol but I have a friend whose parents are retired and have like, literally millions spread across different accounts and they refuse to help him out with anything. it’s not like they have a bad relationship either, it’s just a “pull yourself up by the bootstraps, kiddo” kinda thing.

it genuinely makes me happy to know how mad liberals are that it didn’t work lol. like you can hear it in how they talk about it. they fucking hate that China is powerful now

what I have learned from skimming that thread is that the average redditor thinks we would only lose such a war because “the rest of the world has more bodies to throw at us.” Literally just the “Russians haven’t lost yet because they use human wave tactics” excuse but applied to the entire world lol.
