"I'm a nonagenarian, actually"

My name is Hans. The Simpsons has ruined my life...

ThrowawayusGenerica

Hang on, what the hell happened to his bow tie?

ThrowawayusGenerica

At least Ringo was immortalised by narrating Thomas the Tank Engine

ThrowawayusGenerica

First one, then the other.

ThrowawayusGenerica

Probably misses his old dog.

I am disrespectful to peas! Can you see that I am serious?

For them and the people that support them, the hypocrisy is a desired feature. They're not lying to deceive people (if that happens it's a bonus and they'll run with it), they lie simply to stir shit, insult their opponents who know they're being transparently false, and make people expend energy refuting their zero-effort falsehoods. It's that old quote about antisemitism:

Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

Eh, the PS3 released just before the great recession.

Fifteen seasons? Some must be doubles.

Great engineers don't often make for good business strategy people and even more rarely function well in PR. There's a reason Satoru Iwata was considered a generational talent in his industry.

horses just became their only vehicle for it in a world without enormous sex toys

So that was the inciting event for the founding of Bad Dragon as a business venture...

ThrowawayusGenerica

Which is why he was charged and punished for anything at all

Soloflow, reposting my meme? I'm shocked! Shocked!

Well, not that shocked.

I mean, Valve can just go the Steam Marketplace route and take a chunk of the resale value, right?

ThrowawayusGenerica

Lining up petards behind a ram to win castle wars without having to go imp for trebs is such a fun style move

If you want a light-touch nerf you could increase the attack delay on skirms so it's much harder for them to hit and run moving targets (i.e. MAA and scouts), but then you'd probably have to nerf the attack delay on archers for skirms to still counter them effectively. And that would entrench the MAA meta even harder.

Just ignoring the PS1, which probably has more surviving modchipped consoles than not

ThrowawayusGenerica

Until they get AI to write the DMCAs, too

ThrowawayusGenerica

It's true, it's true! They're so lame!

ThrowawayusGenerica

Oh, I have had it, I have had it with this sub, OP! The low humour scores, post after post of ugly, ugly memes!

ThrowawayusGenerica

It's worse than that, this garbage outsourced to the lowest bidder is all they think historical TW is worth at this point

ThrowawayusGenerica

...does Bingus secrete venom in his saliva or something?

ThrowawayusGenerica

I'm a lot like Sisyphus, except instead of a boulder it's a 1080 ti, and instead of a hill it's another year

Ticketmaster seems to be complying in advance with this one, the last couple of shows I've bought tickets in London for only let you resell them for their face value at maximum

But the flipside to that is that they just get sold at pre-scalped prices in the first place
