Something? Yes.

I said this elsewhere, but I CANNOT see how people are trying to claim that this was an intentional counter to a seven year-old equally toss-away-able joke. They are both simple jokes, but there is no deeper META RETALIATION going on here. 

Umm. What? That is your definition of cringey? And, wow. I have never heard anybody call a stand “smart,” “interesting,” or “cool” before, so, uhh, thanks for introducing me to that specific fetish of yours.

PLEASE, PLEASE deconstruct how this text-based dad joke is “structured identically” to a seven year old video. PLEASE.

It... It was a quick joke, not an actual criticism. Criticism requires actual depth of commentary. And, you are right, this joke was not the first of its kind. There are MILLIONS of jokes made like this every single day by people. I don’t see the connection to something mentioned seven years ago. What a…

No. No he doesn’t. He made a bold claim saying that the tweet was somehow competing with something that happened years ago. That’s a big reach, and I really can’t see ANY argument that a tongue-in-cheek pair of images and a one sentence caption reeks of desperation. I also think that the tweet took all of about twenty…

I don’t see how that tweet made you cringe, and I don’t see how that tweet came off as desperate. Are... are you ok?

As a teacher teaching during CoViD, I wish I had access to this for my students... And I wish that it was somehow tied to all console and PC gaming. 

I tested that game for a whole summer! I also helped with the print strategy guide. I need to go back and play it again to see how well it aged. 

Legal? Well, since there wasn’t punitive recourse, I suppose that’s true.

This is what happens when you don’t let William Gates buy TikTok. 

The writing was alright — at times. The game play was boring all the time. I spend these types of games looting everything in sight, and there was almost nothing of use in any chest, and nothing of interest in any store. The perks did nothing to enhance or change the game play as my character leveled up, and the poor…

Gamepass Ultimate is for both, my dude. It is a ridiculous deal. 

This was one of the most boring games I have ever played. I cannot imagine myself reinstalling it and loading it up again to try out a new side quest.

I’m just going to repost my response to another person’s comment from yesterday’s xbox article:

Yikes, man. Keep brushing up on your Sesame Street. I can’t even fathom the heart attack you’d have if you saw the names of PC components, cellphones, cars, sports equipment, furniture, Starbucks drink sizes, and gasoline options at your local station. 

I... I think you misunderstood Animal Farm or you are misunderstanding this article. Either way, maybe it is time to brush up on those reading skills. 

Bring him over to America. We’ll find a way to elect him en route.

Man, agree to disagree here. It really sounds like you’re the one splitting hairs, as you say. In response to me saying that you can only stream on PC, you said “The information I have is pretty much correct. I have PSNow, I can check it. You can download virtually any PS4 or PS2 game. Certainly for every last one I…

But part of that service IS the inclusion of Day 1 games AND PC specific games. You can’t say if you ignore that then PS Now + PS+ is the better deal.
