You make some good points, and some not-so-good points
"Again if Europe hadn't been insanely stupid, and I'll admit if we didn't have idiot leaders at the time,"
I'll admit that European governments around that time weren't pinnacles of brilliance, but to call them 'insanely stupid' is a bit much. It's always easier to…

It does matter where you're from: possibility of subjectivity, especially considering ideology and culture of a country of residence being a big factor in this. And that subjective tunnel-vision you have proven to have, both here and in the other reply.

"Most of the rest of Europe has fallen to this "soft" socialism that is going to cause them no end of problems in the future. They've already started to slide from the pinnacle of civilization that was reached at the beginning of the 20th century and will fade into obscurity if they continue along this path."

I'm…

Calm down with the zeal, I never meant to say the lives the US gave weren't honored (the suggestion itself is a wee bit insulting, even). I worded it rather poorly I see now, so I understand the confusion. What I wanted to say is that it the US was active in Europe in multiple places, but not the Netherlands -unless…

Missing the point: US' help was definitely welcome, the treaty was retarded, what I was referring to is the way the US seems to be raised on the idea that it won the entire war. The way you said it, "the US to get involved in another conflict", seems to reflect this: you seem to think the US was in the position of…

Huh. I seem to remember the war never happened, which caused a technological and cultural boom fueled by the golden years in the 40's and 50's which 'stuck around' for a long while, hence the retro-futurism. I can't check it now, I'll read up on it when I get back home (Fallout Bible somewhere on my desktop rig).

I was referring to WW2, yeah. Turns out I got my dates mixed up (see other reply) but reacted strongly to the notion that the US 'won the entire war'.

I already replied to another post in this thread on this, but I got my dates mixed up and was led by the usual European Pride which pops up when the US is declared 'the winner of WW2'. Check the other reply, it's more comprehensive and saves me the typing.

About the fictional universe: I seem to remember, but not sure…

I stand corrected, I had my dates mixed up. Japan declared surrender in august after Germany surrendered in may, with the Potsdam Declaration in june. I guess I let my anger take over a bit, since the US definitely did win the Asian front but also claimed victory in the European front - which is something the entirety…

Goddammit, no they didn't, and the atomic bombs were not the ending. Why does this myth still exist?

I'm surprised nobody mentioned this yet.

If a creature the size of Godzilla was really alive and kicking, which would go against scientific possibility but let's assume so, this would mean that the creature is so insanely strong that our stand-off weapons wouldn't even be able to scratch it. Nothing short of…

This is kinda missing the entire point of copyrighting, I think. Not sure if it's because of overzealous publishers (by the looks of the tweets by publishers: don't think so) or simply a ridiculous automated system, but it all points to the latter. Still, the system is based on a form of copyrighting that hasn't…

Being passionate makes me a moron? Interesting.

Not what I meant, though hilarious. Never thought of it that way, the gif as a parody of bad dubbing is a pretty good idea!

I was (poorly worded, it seems) referring to the use of gifs nowadays all over the net with someone saying something and the text of the quote elsewhere in the picture. However, what the person on…

I don't understand the point of gifs like that, they're incredibly popular on this website but ah... Let's be honest. In the examples you used, they clearly don't say the text. So that's kinda stupid, no?

Easy to find if you know where and how to look.

On that note, I recommend you change the brand of fabric softener you use. It's not good for those special shirts you're so fond of wearing. Can I recommend switching to a home-made applecider vinegar blend? There's a shop a short bike- / carride away, I can see it right…

This. Not only do I take offense at the amount of bile flung at the website itself (it's frankly ridiculous, don't you guys read what you're saying first?) but I definitely take offense at how it calls all users retarded.

In. The. Wake. Of. A. Suicide. Attempt.

Christ almighty, I really liked Kotaku's community for the…

True, but the definition of 'that guy' wasn't really set in stone yet until it became a stereotype with distinct attributes. I'm not 100% sure from where it really comes, but as far as I know it originated on /tg/. At least, I've seen it 'grow' there.

Not really, a "that guy" with the truth can be quite the party-pooper / funkiller and, thus, be "that guy". There's a reason the term was popularized by the P&P RPG community: there's always the rules-nazi that fucks it up for the people that just wanna have fun.

I remember that in the beginning days of GoG.com I got a presskit at GamesCom from them. Included was a floppy disk, for which I had to reassemble and boot up an old-as-fuck PC to even use, included on it was a simple (but encrypted) text document with a code for a free game.

Just that. Floppy, text document, password,…
