"It was just a prank, bro!

Def strikes as an old fashioned phrase

Not pictured: Nopebot, who declined to participate.

Can’t help now but imagine the Everett version of this where he decks some pinhead who leaves his garden hose running into the street

No, I don’t have close friends. I prefer not to touch or be touched anyway, particularly by other men.

I don’t mind if it became more socially acceptable, probably would be healthier overall. As long as it’s also acceptable to be able to request no touching.

No wonder we get so easily distracted from the main quest. It’s just so vague and directionless. Lazy writing from the developer.

Conservative minds have never been capable of imagining a fair and equitable society. Hierarchy, to them, is necessary as a function of human existence. Therefore, they will always fight to be, or to be perceived as part of, the ruling class.

“incunabulum”

Oh, my heart 🥰

Well now it seems they’ve become the dog with two bones

Noble of him to take some responsibility, but the plot elements were too dark for the tone that was established in Ragnarok. You’re walking a fine line trying to make “dying of cancer” and “revenge on the gods for my dead daughter” the subject of a goofy, weird adventure series.

Only one comes to mind.

If it ain’t broke

I stopped watching anything made by their network around the time they started shilling fake boner pills and sweeping scandals under the rug. I never saw RvB but I came in as a fan for a while of Let’s Play and Funhaus, before they acquired it. I even contributed to First for a little while.

They had a lot of momentum in those days, but I think they tried to grow beyond their ability. Most of the new programming they developed was inferior to the lightning-in-a-bottle stuff they were initially built on. They tried to expand their business while hamstrung by their own internal limitations. They did suffer from some bad luck, but really, they mostly self-destructed in slow motion.

It’s hard enough to build an internet company based on algorithms and originating on someone else’s platform. They tried to navigate independently as long as they could, but really, when fans aren’t responding exponentially to your investment, you can either sell out or die right away. Props for twenty years of capitalizing on early internet fame. But to me, this is an overdue death. Basing your brand around being a dick was bound to have a shelf life.
