Spoiler heresy was the biggest fomo scam online media ever pulled. You told me about some rad shit in a piece of media? oh no now i'll go see how that goes down how could you do this to me. But at some point this was twisted into "you were maliciously attacked for not consuming product fast enough"

Britian and Australia: coming together to fight bacteria and casually use the C word.

Sun Tzu: look at this Mario Party GIF, observe the Luigi remains stoic, observant and behold as the impulsive brothers ensure their own oblivion.

Thinking on it this is probably how i tried to make some ornate Tomb Kings Warhammer bases back in the day. Shame google gives me nothing i would probably buy one of those again to see how i could make one look today after all i've learned.

It reminds me of when i was a kid in the 90's some toy company did these kits themed around a certain ancient culture and like prop making you would use plaster casting and paper ageing to make fake artefacts. I had one about Ancient Egypt and i think making those was a real formative moment for me.

Thats a level of “how do you do fellow kids” ive not seen in a hot minute.

The XL Guinea Pig...

I worked at a restaurant and we had to check them before closing time as people would try and stay in a stall to rob the joint and i saw the most horrific shit and later my mum went “yeah? Thats just how all toilets are, the mens are worse right?” and we both learned a horrid truth that day.

Honestly at this point i assumed traditional journalism websites are entirely driven by owners to make writers focus on negativity traffic with a side hustle in walkthroughs. Like Google pushing "oops its cancer" first page symptom googling results because they are guaranteed clicks and ad revenue.

Techbros wish they could make a scam/cult/pyramid scheme this effective and long lived.

I've been glad Chaosium and the Call of Cthulhu crowd have pretty staunchly stamped it out but every few weeks you get some guy trying to push then getting pissy "people want to get left behind by the profit wave". Theres one guy that tries it on the CoC subreddit with a new burner acc. every month.

Theres been some big attempts to push it in warhammer lately but its thankfully always met with "hey Games Workshop makes their money selling paints and brushes, what are you expecting from this audience bro?"

My uncle was a straight conman sleazeball grifter and i always remember being like 9 and hearing him tell one of his subgoons "If joe bloggs on the street heard of it and wants to buy in the hustles already over" and i think of it every time shit like AI or ape jpgs shows up. Every time.

The PS2 alone had nearly 5000 games across all regions and thats a single console from one generation of games. Anyone going "Its this or nothing!" is a fotm slophog with zero standards.

man that next WoW expansions just gonna be a real trip under microsofts slopmaxxing mandates isn't it?

Schizomaxxing to ensure shes not like the other girls

Its going to turn out to be a self insert isnt it?

Creepo looks like an actual demon.

That was my exact response too. The whole vibe of metroid is being utterly alone in a hostile envrionment and slowly mastering it. i've never once thought "you know standing in the rain with only light ambient background music could really use a Claptrap screaming at me".
