I'm truly impressed at how incomprehensible this post is to me. "Treat", "struggle", "hog" and "chud" all presumably mean something particular to you.
No insult intended - in-group slang is fun sometimes. It's just kinda cool to be presented with it - reminds me of the Weird Old Internet.
Wanna know the fun part? Even we're a little lost in this guy's posts sometimes. Not as much as a BMF post (or whatever alt account they're on now), but still.
Nothing specific comes to mind, just "someone in X game fandom got me riled up" and even I, an inveterate g*mer, am like
wrath of the righteous is really good. it's a shame i have to use character guides for it because i Do Not know how to play pathfinder.
yes, but that excess allowed some truly outrageous character builds that 5e just can't hold a candle to. I'm especially proud of a damphir necromancer that ran around with the armored corpses of dire lions that soloed most of the fights the DM tried to throw at us. think he really regretted throwing those at us early on only for the cleric to go "wait, hold my beer"
i want to try it out but that means either running it myself or making someone else do it and i don't know anyone else
nahhh i got my own tabletop issues to figure out (some folks want me to run odyssey of the dragonlords and i am Not Sure how that will go) and my old DM has been chatting me up about baldur's gate 3 and them having a lot of "ideas" (tho idk if i want to play with them again). i appreciate the thought though ulysses maybe sometime in the future.
edit: ik i wasn't being invited but i wanted to respond to the thought of being included
Your posting is pretty great most of the time. You're a certified crank, every community needs one. That being said, calling one of the characters from Oppenheimer a "booba waifu" was the most post you've ever made.
I happen to think "booba waifu" was an incredible encapsulation of one criticism of the movie.
Never seen the movie but I know exactly what they meant.
You're not wrong, you're really not. I do think, however, that someone who hadn't seen the movie and isn't familiar with your posting style could have conceivably come to the conclusion that you think Katherine Oppenheimer is a "big booba waifu". I read your comment as obviously saying that's how Nolan portrayed her and that's a bad thing, Nolan should be less of a misogynist ass, but again, if someone is unfamiliar with the context and your posts, it's not out of the realm of possibility that your comment could have been (in good faith) misconstrued as saying the direct opposite to what you actually meant. (Also, it makes a really good site tagline, so thanks!)
Having had no idea wtf rebel moon is, this post did come off very or maybe BMF-lite. But after you explained that detail it fell into place.
Normally it's not that there's any trouble understanding you, just that your posts come off far more intensely than I have ever felt about the topics in question. Which is a good thing, mind, they're always fun
I support your protracted people's war against the treats. But in all due respect, and don't take this personally, I think it comes across a little Quixotic sometimes because you make references to previous arguments where the person you're talking about is nowhere to be found in the thread, so it just looks like fighting windmills from an outsider perspective.
treats = food/entertainment, derogatory
struggle = big argument on the site, generally called "struggle session"
hogs = the unwashed braying (usually) CHUD masses
CHUD = Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dweller, fascists/other right wingers
Wait I thought we were hogs
I think hog just means anyone who consumes slop, which is to say, a consumer.
Nah honestly just roll with it, we need to propagate our slang not restrain it.
tomorrow i will start a struggle session that the entire bitter flavor group is a combination of addiction and toxic masculinity and nobody actually likes it
Just because 's dumper wasn't in the mugshot doesn't mean the mugshot was mid
Not until this evening in the US
Former president Donald Trump is expected to leave his club in New Jersey later this afternoon with a coterie of aides, according to people familiar with the trip, and will turn himself in this evening.
Edit: Some people are saying 7 PM ET
I would pay [amount of money with lots of zeroes] to see him manhandled and shot in the back 82 times
I will continue like I always have: blissful ignorance of every struggle session, and then learning about them five months later because they flare up like herpes in random threads
on the one hand, I want to know what the two sides were. on the other, I probably don't.
Speaking of which, what was the bananas thing about?
I think Tiktok/Twitter kids learned about how "developed" countries have access to tropical fruits because of exploitation so they had disk horse about whether ending imperialistic exploitation was worth not having bananas all year around.
I think that was a weird Left Twitter thing that never made its way here. I also have no idea what it was about. I think there was a boat involved?
I wanted to read discussions about "China's zombie economy" but there ain't any.
Too nerd topic, next one will probably be about wet rocks again
Of course it has, because online discussions never go anywhere in their first iteration at least
It was specifically about removing stones from a creek or riverbed, which (apparently) can have an effect on the flow and disturb the ecosystem. The OP was very polite and informational but everyone started flipping out and arguing over it for some bizarre reason. Link
Sample:
Should we kill all Beavers? I hear they alter water flows in an unnatural manner.
This is far worse than rocks, btw.
It just seems equivalent to having a strong opinion about flint knapping, or atlatls.
I just don't really believe it's a thing in year of our lord not 100,000 BCE
I think next year around the US presidential election, if we are still federated, is going to be wild. We are going to have a lot of folks around the fediverse screaming about how we need to
worst possible reality: reddit explodes like a month before the elections, completely nonfunctional, URL stops working.
a solid 200,000 redditors swarm onto Lemmy, with many ending up on instances we are federated to. the next month is spent in a constant state of battle over voting. if Trump wins then it's like, at least the next 3 months, with low-lying anger for the remaining 4 years.
It's not a real struggle session unless its an internal disagreement between Hexbears, if it's us vs the libs that's just sparkling disagreement.
met a lib IRL who had a giant 'I Voted, so should you!' badge on their backpack
next to a captain america badge, liberalism is the goddamn same everywhere
Someone makes a post about using the term "companion animals" in place of "pets," at least 800 comments or a locked thread
Beans.
Wait that's today's session subject. Hm, maybe debate over rain, cool or bad?
I can predict some amazing China struggle sessions coming in 2050, it's going to be great
Probably something to do with our flourishing trans comms. Some groups prefer the humor and memes to be more chill and happy, as it was in most subs. Other groups (including my friends and me) are a lot edgier with our trans humor. If both of these groups gain significant traction within hexbear it could lead to some intense fights IMO
Possibly the blood and soil NATO libs are about to have one over supporting Wagner again
Banned for "sustained hostility." I still think we shouldn't have dogpiled them so hard but they got increasingly hostile and argumentative as time went on, they posted a bunch of struggle session bait and would immediately escalate when anyone tried to push back at all.
