Keep grinding,

Goons have two options when it comes to humor: run something into the ground, and when they've done that, keep on going, drilling further and further into the ground, leaving a gaping hole (with a ring on the side).

I've noticed that the humor of Loss.jpg is waning, as the image has been boiled down to its most abstract pictorial elements. But why give up on one of three jokes we have (9/11 and Goatse are the other two)? The only thing to do is start writing Loss.txt

Take a well known story or scene and Lossify it. This can take the part of fictional scenes, such as:

from Final Fantasy VII posted:


I know it's one of the most iconic moments in video game history, but the scene in Final Fantasy VII is actually lacking in dramatic tension? Why? There is no direct confrontation. They show up late.

Here is how I imagine it:
First, we see Cloud entering the Temple of the Ancients.
Second we see him and Sephiroth facing each other.
Third they engage in a sword duel before Sephiroth disappears.
And then fourth we finally see Cloud running up to the collapsed body of Aerith.


Or from real historical events:

In the 1968 Democratic Primaries posted:


At first, Eugene McCarthy entered the race as the only challenger to Lyndon Johnson. But soon, he encountered the candidacy of Robert Kennedy. For several contests the two stood head to head, competing. But with the death of Kennedy after the California convention, McCarthy stood alone.

.

Basically just like any image can be lossified, so can any story.

My thread encounters one person, who doesn't seem to understand.

When Aerith was killed, I was pissed. Not because I was emotionally invested. But because she was a primary party member and I was gimped after she died. I had to spend hours grinding afterwards to make up for it. It never occurred to me a main character could die! My innocence was lost that day...
