Y'all are way overthinking the Timbler. It's a shitpost from a twitter guy who makes funny photoshops of old video games. This one is about the Shambler, from Quake, wearing Timberlands. Hence Timbler. Quake got a remastered release last week by Night Dive Studio. Their in-house engine for porting old games to modern platform is called Kex. The black guy is the protagonist from Shadow Man, which was a recent release ported to Kex engine. He just called it kek because before the world was brain poisoned that was a way to say lol and it's a reasonable pun on kex. The twitter guy is named Kino Fabino and his content is wholesome for fans of boomer shooters and I will not have you cynical assholes ruin that for me.

shadowman was a game that had great mood/setting but the gameplay was just barely passable

It's so far removed from all this toxic gamer poo poo that's everywhere else. It's my happy place. Don't bring that poo poo into my happy place!

yeah it's a bit like how internet racists ruined Matt furie's life by making his cartoons an emblem of antisemitism or whatever it was basically, the internet is a terrible cesspool and it's probably pretty lucky I only ever really went on SA and we all grew out of the "ironic X" phase and largely the avoided brain worms I mean that's also because we got old irl

PIZZA.BAT posted:the difference is pepe was originally wholesome while kek was toxic chud garbage from the getgo No, it came from WoW. They filtered language in the game's chat so that the two factions of the game couldn't directly communicate. "lol" became "kek". It was fine for years until 4chan shitheads did the same poo poo they did to Pepe.

aesthetically everything about shadowman was pretty great and the reason it sticks with me today. the talking irish snake with a human skull wearing a "jaunty" tophat didn't hurt either

Kenny Logins posted:i remember when most nerd things (rpg books, etc) were saturated with unnerving photomanipulated art. good times. I have shadowman for the dreamcast and can confirm it was pretty fun. I loved the aesthetic and I felt the "dungeons" you had to go through were actually sort of a fresh take on the Zelda N64 dungeon diving. Shadowman 2 was hot garbage tho

Would seem so: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spastic I grew up in the US where I never actually heard it used in relation to palsy. It has always been "over-excited weird nerd". I'll probably be more careful about that going forward, but that's the intent with which I used it in that post.
