I don't know if it was the same thread or not but the POW-MIA/YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN bumper sticker with the text edited to say YOUR SON DIED/FOR NO REASON is one of the few edgy web 1.0 shitposts that I have only grown to love even more over the years and is also the first thing to come to mind whenever I see one of those mawkish pieces of crap in the wild.

I showed that to a co-worker once. She wasn't very amused.

Also tonight I had to try and explain why I found "the weirdest poo poo" online. She asked, "did you google for that?" No, no I did not. I just found it because of SA, became aware of it and then explored it further because it was funny as hell.

It was Sea Patrol. Apparently most normal people find it goddamn weird that I'm laughing a lot at Sea Patrol.

In terms of actually ruining me I think the biggest negative effect SA had on my life was the way its PC gaming culture simultaneously prolonged the amount of time I spent immersed in gaming while spending less time actually playing games and not enjoying them nearly as much when I did. The fixation on deals and saving and gaming various systems especially, the Steam thread and the like are one huge community of people spending hundreds and even thousands of dollars on games they'll never play while patting themselves on the back for "saving" so much money and making the countless hours spent monitoring deals and bundles and idling for cards to sell for pennies of "free" money worth it. And having more games than you could ever play while you continue to buy even more makes people focus on minmaxing their gaming time even further; there are entire threads and websites built around forcing people to play games to a certain play time or percentage completion just for the purpose of checking them off of some list, arguments and guides about how many hours you have to sink into a game or game series before it actually gets fun to play, and deep battle trenches dug over exactly what combination of mods and DLC and character builds are the Objectively Superior Gaming Experience. Factor in the increasingly loud, angry, and fragmented culture wars over everything from DLC prices to the hair color of default protagonists and it's just a morass of unhappy people who seem to spend more time arguing about games than actually playing them and for all the time and energy they spend following coverage of new games spend most of their actual gaming time just playing the same map game or roguelite day in and day out year after year.

Trading my gaming PC in for a laptop and a Switch and replacing Games and PYF with Twitter and Discord was one of the best things I've done in years.

On this note, SA made me realize how repugnant "gamers" were so I sold everything and am trying to live in reality and be mentally and physically healthy. But since I live in a place that never stops raining and is 10C/50F until May I have just ended up catching up on decades of tv and movies.

Christmas albums?

About 10 years ago there was a thread encouraging goons to make intentionally bad Christmas music, ranging from obvious parody to vaguely believable schlock to legitimate genius. Ho Ho Ho it's Christmas Time is one of the more infamous, as it sounds just like a real Christmas song that just repeats that verse. Another from the first thread was a remix of Frank Sinatra saying "Christmas" over and over while the instrumentals progress. New threads have spawned every year, each adding a new album complete with cover art.

All albums from 2009 to 2016 can be found and downloaded here as complete albums or individual tracks: http://saxmas.robotcousin.com

Christmas Lobotomy, A Hole in the Ground, Bulletproof Reindeer, I took some Mistletoe Down to the Red Light District and Taco Bell Christmas are some of my favorites, but at this point Something Awful music is pretty much all I listen to during the holidays. My personal favorite from this year was This Postman Can.

So yeah, I'm pretty fundamentally broken because of SA.

I've often slipped tracks like this onto CDs of boring "real" Christmas music for older relatives. Some of them actually loved it and wanted to know where they could find more, which was more than a little awkward.

drat, I wish I had known about this like a month ago so I could have actually enjoyed them before/during Christmas.


Content:

I too am gravitating toward the mentality that SA is an ISP. However, the real reason it has ruined me is now I want to actually participate. So, I'm spending a ton of time trying to stay caught up on threads, as well as trying to speed through 1000s of pages of old threads to get caught up. I'm supposed to be working right now.

Nah I just don't want to play video games anymore. It does nothing but harm, and it gets more pronounced as you get closer to your 40s. I stopped enjoying them.

Nah gaming is literally a giant engine created to convert free time into a false sense of accomplishment. When you're an idiot child or NEET with no autonomy and endless free time it's as efficient a way of frittering away your free time as anything but lol if you actually have a job and life and hobbies and are putting that poo poo on hold to make numbers on a screen go up.

If you dont WANT to then go ham, its just your original post sounded like you were educated out of being a gamer

You can, though, decide to play a video game and not be a gamer who hates women and loves mountain dew. You can, also, have a job and just not decide to play video games when you are supposed to be at your job. Same goes for meeting friends. You can even have a date and then go on the date instead of playing video games, but then play video games the next day.

Sounds like some of you goons have issues tho, idk
