“I guess I wanna say I’m black, gay, a furry (pretty much everything a republican hates) and I’m the best esports player of the year.” - SonicFox
Admittedly, I didn’t know who he was until now because I’m not into the whole esports scene, but out of curiousity I checked out his twitter and I love this kid now:
He is an absolute treausre, and one of the best if not THE best fighting game players in the world :D
i put new yellow shoelaces on my boots to show people i am Cool. I walk to my work full of old lady cashiers. “I like your shoelaces.” one of them says to me. I see my life flash before my eyes as this ancient test is presented before me
The chemical name for vitamin C is “ascorbic acid”. I always used to wonder about this one. Is being ascorbic like being acerbic? Is it like being ascetic? Absorbent? Some combination of all of them?
Today I learned that scorbi is just a Latinish way of writing scurvy. So a-scorbi-c acid is “no-scurvy acid”.
on the subject of bots, runescape had literally the best way of dealing with their botting problem:
if an account was detected using bot software, they would be instantly teleported to a hearing from a witchfinder general style npc, where other players could watch and throw rotten tomatoes at them. then the audience could vote on how the person on trial would be killed as punishment, and THEN the botter was permanently banned afterwards. it was the funniest shit ever
tbt when they had no banning system so the gms just teleported hackers into The Void™ for eternal punishment
That was a whole other problem in itself, due to the whole “disc of returning” debacle.
Basically there was an item (disc of returning) that let regular players visit these “banned” players in the void. You could come and go freely and still talk to any banned people there. The only problem was that this item was totally tradeable/droppable, and people visiting were getting tricked by the banned players into giving the item up to them, or dropping it so it would despawn.
Basically people were pulling some body-snatcher shit, and banned players were taking the place of innocent players through the disc of returning to get back into the game, and leaving behind the innocent ones trapped in their place. Runescape was fucked up lmao
apparently my boss who is a professor at my school doesn’t have a cell phone and his coworkers were upset by this so they bought him a childs toy phone and labeled it “David’s jitterbug” (for those of you that don’t know jitterbugs are phones made for old people that have like massive buttons and shit) so the other day I walked into his office to ask him a question and he pressed a button on it which made it start loudly playing the ABCs and he said “excuse me I have to take this” and then started singing along to the ABCs while shooing me out of his office
this is the phone. he apparently was in the middle of a meeting with the department the other day and got annoyed so he pressed a button, said “I have to take this” and left
David’s co-workers probably: “This is a valid tactic to embarrass him into buying a mobile phone, right?”
David: “Bold of you to assume that I get embarrassed.”
“The medieval warrior, realizing the consequences of his impulsive act, immediately approached the owner of the drone and offered to pay for the damage.
The owner of the drone was so impressed by the brilliant attack that he suggested organizing a competition for bringing down “dragons” with short spears next year.
Drone owners have another year to develop a unique “dragon-like” design for their flying machines.” (x)
I am 100% cooler with this knowing that the spear-thrower realized “oops maybe I shouldn’t have done that” and tried to make it right, and that the guy who the drone belonged to was cool with it
just so everyone knows, this has already been memorialized in a runestone
Everything about this post blesses those involved with a +4 on their next Today is Good Day roll
