some games did the opposite, when they ported to platforms with better hardware they would have improved graphics, longer intros, better sounds, maybe even extra levels. my favorite game of the time (still one of my favorites today) Prince of Persia is an example.

didn’t need the third panel but I like that it had two punchlines and it still works.

how is anyone born with the intention of holding eggs?

you don’t enjoy getting a spellbook and having to summon 250 gigarunes on top of it so you can even start reading it?

what fancy ass market are you shopping where the top cart has so much handling? most of what I’ve seen has literally negative handling, they actively go another way.

the perspective of the text is slightly off and it’s making my eye twitch

I love how they come up with different names for all the ways the fucking thing doesn’t work just to avoid saying it’s fucking useless. hallucinating. waluigi effect. how about “doesn’t fucking work”

you’re allowed to mock supremacists for their appearance. they claim to have superior genes, they should be held accountable for it. it’s always the fugliest motherfuckers too.

this particular post is different too I feel. it’s less about baldness per se and more about hairstyle. like wtf is he doing. being bald does not make that hairstyle ok, or immune to ridicule. he was rich back then, he could afford to look better.

too bad he can’t do much about his troglodyte face and body.

he already said “I am become meme” while cosplaying as his own ai generated image

My point is that neither name change actually sends either message. They’re both weak and pointless, literally inconsequential and completely self contained. Imagine the French being … hurt? annoyed? … that some fuckwits on the other side of the world don’t call fries French Fries… as if they gave a shit before. Same here.

I know what Freedom Fries is. That’s why I brought it up. I don’t understand how that’s relevant to my comment that calling Americano Canadiano is dumb.

Agreed that it would definitely be much worse, and maybe I wouldn’t have found it as cringe if I hadn’t seen the push for “Freedom Fries” back in the day.

Yes. Please refer to my original comment, once again, clearly in support of boycotting the US in actually meaningful ways. I say this would be more understandable coming from Mexico because then it would be a jab, against the US unilaterally trying to rename the Gulf of Mexico, so it would make sense to rename something named after America(ns) in return.

“Oh, you did tariffs and threatening annexation, I shall no longer call this coffee Americano” just doesn’t follow logically. And compared to the threat it is the weakest, lamest, most pathetic form of protest imaginable. That’s my point.

I don’t understand what this has to do with anything I said.

I didn’t say it isn’t. i said it’s not American, as in it doesn’t come from the US.

I would agree if this was Mexico doing it as a response to the gulf thing… then it would have made some sense in context.

I didn’t question motivations. I already said I support boycotting the US. this is not a method of protest that does anything. it’s lame and stupid. Americano is not even American, nor is it Canadian. it’s just dumb. it’s like saying you remember watching Canadian Pie as a teen.

while I support Canada boycotting the US, you have to admit this in particular is “freedom fries” tier patriotism. it was embarrassing then, and it is embarrassing now.
