MMOs offer a place where unsuccessful or socially awkward people can become gods and they're intentionally designed to become psychologically addicting because they prey on the human tendency to want to keep pulling that slot machine (loot in this case).

I think it was less that nobody bothered to climb it and more that they all thought you'd get killed by a thrown lightning bolt if you climbed it, but yeah it is kind of funny that they thought the gods lived on one specific mountain that was just kind of the largest one in the immediate area

It kinda makes sense, when a thunder storm was brewing and the sky was blacked out by clouds you'd assume the lightning had to come from somewhere, why not the highest peak (which would be obscured from the bottom).

I remembered a thread but can't find it, does anyone remember the thread where a guy was traveling from like, Atlanta to New England without stopping and basically called the state police fascists because he couldn't take a nap pulled over on the shoulder of the interstate?

Not that the quote isn't funny, but why would judges be eyeballing a speech the president gave after a battle instead of the Emancipation Proclamation?

Also why are they examining a document after a man choked on a hot dog, very suspect.

Where are people getting this mythological status that it "infected" people? All it did was grey out a poster from the "pink" forums and give them that avatar, to make them easily identifiable. If they posted in the "Gray" forums enough times the cancer would evantually go away, but if they kept posting in the pink forums they would maintain the status.

The goal was to starve out those forums but it was a dumb idea to begin with because if you post there why would you honestly care?

Define current because there are probably multiple concurrent canon Spider-Men. The latest Spider-Man ended with a reveal that a girl who was present throughout the movie goes by MJ (even though her name isn't Mary Jane), so there's probably going to be an MJ love interest going forward in the movies, at least.

Hes talking about the mainstream comics since thats the one where spiderman sold his marriage to Satan and yes im reiterating this because gently caress its dumb.

Also in the movie Iron Man wants to stop on the weapons manufacturing

Granted the morality can seem a bit muddled since ultimately he's deciding weapons are bad unless he's the one using them.

It's remixed so often because people decided that a repeated setup leading into references to other things you may have heard of is entertainment. It is the new millennium's "how many X does it take to screw in a light bulb" joke and just about as amusing.

I might get attacked for this but I think it might be better than the original. It shares a lot with the original in having a slow, plodding pace that helps immerse you in the world but tells its narrative in a more compelling way.

The koala post has renewed my appreciation for how fundamentally hosed up Australia's ecosystem is, bringing forth either the deadliest creatures known to mankind or the least equipped for basic survival, with no readily apparent middle ground.

Its what happens when you have a largely isolated ecosystem for millenia.

I always laughed at some story that just had (as an aside) "I packed a thermos of hot soup and jumped out the airlock because having anything hot on you prevented freezing in space" or something because that's either incompetence or genius from whoever coded the thing.

SS13 is what happens when years of code (that was started by someone else) continues to build into a cronenberg monster.
