90's "punk" in general was just terrible with only a few exceptions.

I don’t care if Rancid was a Clash knockoff, I find And Out Come the Wolves more enjoyable than London Calling.

Cartoons and the ability to travel between Mexico, the US, and Canada without a passport were literally the only good things from the 90s. Also, Flight of the Conchords is way better than Weird Al. Today I learned that this is apparently an unpopular opinion? I love Weird Al but cmon.

Weikrd Al Yankovic is terrible. His songs aren't even parodies and literally anyone could write them. Musical comedy is both the worst form of comedy and the worst form of music and Weird Al is pretty much at the bottom of the barrel.

The reason why I don't hate Weird Al like I do with musical comedians is he doesn't sell it as a standup act like they do, it's just music. When it's some rear end on the stage playing a piano singing their jokes, that is the worst. When it's a musician who does a song similar to another one with different words, it's fine. If you don't find it funny, that's fine, but he at least deserves some respect for being the only successful person in his niche genre.

Yeah Al is great because he is legitimately a talented musician if nothing else. Compare him to say Stephen Lynch where Lynch is trying to do “standup with a guitar” but he’s not really any better on guitar than any random rear end in a top hat who’s practiced for a bit and his comedy is also just not funny. That stupid rear end in a top hat was super popular when I was in high school.

I loved Weird Al as a kid. Once I hit my teens and beyond I thought it was the cheesiest poo poo ever (it is) but now I can appreciate what he does on some level. I'd never actually listen to one of his albums anymore, but I'm glad that he exists and he seems like a really solid dude. Obviously I'd take Flight of the Conchords over Weird Al now. I don't really think the two are really comparable at all though.

He has a target audience. Once you outgrow that target, it's normal to stop liking him so much. all musicians and entertainers in general should be judged through the scope of who they are trying to entertain, otherwise you can't be objective.

"an imitation of the style of a particular writer, artist, or genre with deliberate exaggeration for comic effect." sounds like parody to me. of course anyone can write a parody of a song, you don't need to be a lyrical genius to make one, but you do need to be one for them to be funny. i disagree with your opinion, but a lot of people do too, which is why it's here.

NES and SNES games don't hold up at all, the N64 had one of the weakest libraries of any major video game console, the Wii had maybe a couple dozen good games and the Wii U even fewer than that. The Switch is literally the second good home console Nintendo has ever made.

The Switch is literally the second good home console Nintendo has ever made. It depends on what you mean by holds up. If you are playing them on an emulator on your computer, yeah they aren't very fun compared to the modern alternatives. But they can still be fun from a nostalgia perspective. I hate obsession with nostalgia where people structure their lives on living like they are still a child, but hooking up the NES to an old TV once in a while and playing maniac mansion or whatever can still be fun once in a while. somehwat related: the only modern games worth playing is the call of duty series. It's the same poo poo over and over but it's good poo poo. Everything else is too far up its own rear end about trying to be meaningful. I just want to run around blowing people up and insult the mother of the 14 year olds i am killing over the microphone.

The only speedrun I have ever actually watched was one of Morrowind’s main quest and it was the dumbest loving thing ever. Morrowind is one my favourite games but the base gameplay is mostly boring and broken. To speedrun is to ignore everything likeable about it. Also Skyrim is the most disappointing thing that ever happened. Edgar Allen Ho has a new favorite as of 00:54 on Jan 14, 2019 |

I didn't even do the main quest for years after i started playing it, there's little reason to, the core of the game is everything else. It is buggy but it's dumb to exploit it, just deal with it and have fun.

I play games, a lot less now though than I used to, and never had any interest in speed runs. Not doing them, not watching them. They just seem dumb, and pointless. I recognize there is skill and planning involved, but that's not enough.

So if you walk diagonally and jump just as you land you move 3% faster? Okay that's a neat bit of trivia about how a game works but I don't need to see someone do it for an hour.

Things like burrito bowls defeat the entire point of the food in question. Opening up the tortilla and dumping it all in a bowl doesn't make it a new experience, it should only be done as a last resort where you forgot to buy tortillas. aaaaw

^^^ I like taking the Chipotle bowl home and dumping it into a mixing bowl to make multiple servings of an excellent Mexican-ish mishmash.  Unreal Tournament had the best storyline and themes possible for a first-person shooter: you're a fucker goin' around firing guns at other fuckers who respawn when they die because sci-fi bullshit and there's no underlying political narrative about empire or conquest or racism and it's unrealistic because it's supposed to be unrealistic because fictional violence is loving sweet.
