The AUG thread changed titles and I forgot about the dog cockteeth. That's a thing I'm never telling or showing anyone because they wouldn't find it blackly funny and would just think I was a horrible pervert to even know about its existence. And god forbid I try to explain or unpack that poo poo.

I bring that up anytime someone says "i just found the weirdest porn".

and I AM SUPER SALTY that I cannot use SA emots everywhere.

SA is also the only place I can go to talk about politics were people are mostly sane.

Since I read SA, I don't have to read Reddit. All the good stuff over there gets curated and posted here.

Also the military history thread has a low tolerance for wehraboos and other idiots.

I was going to post this if no-one else did. Total game changer. Also agreeing with Loss, 69, Stairs, Slenderman stuff.(Edit: I cant believe I forgot Chud. I added that to my vocabulary remarkably fast.) My membership was a gift from a goon friend to prove to me that our warped sense of humor was not rare. He has since abandoned SA. I did for several years, before we entered the darkest timeline. It's like I came back looking for answers or solace or something. After seeing the mocking of 9/11 again and again, I realized I was looking for home... where nothing matters and it's all a joke. That's how SA ruined me.

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.

I say SA emote codes the same way some people say 'lol' instead of laughing at something.

Like if I am being a sanctimonious dork about something I might say 'smuggo' quietly at the end of the sentence because I am channeling :smuggo: in my mind.

I’m another “SA equals Internet” person. In recent years I’m usually on mobile/app and I use adblockers if on desktop (except SA and a few others) so anything more than SA’s easily ignorable web 1.0 banners confuses me. I often wonder if I missed out on how online advertising developed over the last 10+ years because I go out of my way to ignore it.

Put me down as another “SA is the Internet” goon. Ever since I started lurking in late 07 or early 08 it’s been most of my dicking around time. And with the advent of mobile internet, I’ve spent so much time at work on here. I paid ten bucks for an account but must have gotten paid at least 10 grand for time I’ve really just spent on the forums. Not a bad ratio. Hell, posting from work right now!

I can’t tell if it made my sense of humor so hosed up or having such a hosed up sense of humor is why I’m here.

I didn't have access to the internet until college, and the only website I was kinda familiar with growing up was Something Awful because a friend showed me the Hardy Boys photoshop thread, so that was basically my second click after learning how to Google that first night away from my hometown. This site was pretty much my crash course into web culture and my first real glimpse into the wider world as a whole, and I suppose I could have done worse.

The first time I read that one post where the Iliad was rewritten to be about the Ultimate Hustler was when I knew I had found my tribe. I just put off ever actually registering for the better half of a decade because I developed an bizarre respect for Something Awful and felt myself unworthy. Now I look at my nephews watching Let's Plays and feel this weird Old Man internal monologue about how it was so much more real when it was just Goons telling some other Goon to ford white-water rapids in a wagon filled with grandfather clocks.

So in Destiny 2, there are "Exotic"-grade weapons and armor. You can only have one of each equipped at once, and I use an armor piece called the Karnstein Armlets. They have an intrinsic perk called Vampire's Caress that heals you when you punch something to death.

Every time I trip that perk, I read the status text as "Vampire's Gently Caress."
