Does anyone have a link to the Duke Cannon posts? Not the Duke Cannon thread, which I think is still running, but to the posts from another thread where people first started riffing on Duke, and which eventually spawned the dedicated thread.

I'm tired of hearing about money, money, money, money, money. I just want to play the game, drink Pepsi, wear Reebok.

Imagine if a goon played WoW while his wife was giving birth to their first-oh

Oh no

This reminds me of an all-time saddest gaming story. Not funny, at all, but made an impression since to me "gaming addiction" always sounded sort of stupid, like people saying theyre addiccted to chocolate or whatever, but a Goon sharing this story made it more real as a thing.

Anyway; the context was some kind of PYF "stupid stuff you've done in games", or something like that, and people post stuff like "I played LEGO CITY and didn't realize you could jump until I had played 40 hours", but this one Goon chimes in with how he failed to visit his father who was dying of cancer for like months straight while he struggled with it, including missing being there for him on his deathbed, because he prioritized his MMO guild higher than anything else.

He had broken his addiction to the game by the time he shared that story, iirc, so good for him @ managing that, but God drat.

That would require Lowtax to actually commit to going to the gym regularly and given his previous behavior the only thing he's willing to commit to is disappointing us.

They did, by the way, out a rival commander as being gay by posting his dating profile in a forum slapfight. Thankfully, the universal reaction was disgust at their action, and laughter, because he had been out for years.

The operative in question was a real life private investigator, and would use his professional tools to dig up personal information on people who joined the guild. Because they could steal pixels, you see.

Are the new labels for Quote, Reply, Report, and such a PYF-specific thing? I just checked and didn't see them in other forums. Any backstory to it?

I'll have to read the gay jokes rules I guess but if I have to I'll try to not use the epitome of humor that is gay jokes on this website. If you ask me though, not being able to make gay jokes even when they don't negatively Target or condescend gays, is, well pretty... loving lame. My expert here feels like I drank something delicious then someone took it away from me because I was enjoying it too much and now I just have a bad taste in my mouth. Hopefully the other mods are cooler than Burt and leave us alone upon our return. Bye for a month.

I honestly think they're a couple of 18 or 19 year olds who somehow stumbled onto this dead forum.

As posted above but in a nutshell forums are getting specific stylesheets that mods can play with. Check out the banner at the top of cspam for another example.

I wheedled Jeffrey into helping me put through some stylesheet changes for PYF. I feel like despite its List Forum reputation this sub has a lot more personality than people give it credit for and I wanted it to have something little a special

I like it, especially Plagiarize. It's nice to see the place getting spruced up and differentiated a little bit.

Yeah, I made it that as a tongue-in-cheek thing years ago, eventually sort of forgot it was there by virtue of seeing it every day, and only recently realized it's a little meaner sounding now that the Coldly Compiled Lists joke isn't so common.
