There are unused assets in the original World of Warcraft that suggested a player housing system was being developed but never finished. The idea is as old as MMORPGs are.

The Anime/Manga/video game series dotHack, which is about a fake MMORPG, predates WoW by several years and has player housing for some of the characters.

What’s next, a dance studio?

Businesses and personalities have different sets of followers on different social platforms and this is an easier way to give everyone the same content.

Sure, some people are going to use it with spambots, but it does have legitimate purpose for real people.

That pun made me bristle, but I think I can handle it.

I like to invoke the old magic of installing from a disc.

“Can you paint with all the colors of my brain?”

“Wasabi, do you ever wonder why we’re here?”

Everyone is very familiar how Konami ran Kojima out of the company and then ran Metal Gear into the ground.

They’re desperate to keep it solvent.

“Okay, I found a great NAS made by another company.”

D-Link: “No, wait!”

I don’t see any grass in that cubicle.

Anything read by LeVar Burton.

That was more like a DDoS attack, but yeah.

The most amazing part was the claim that the in-game soundtrack was reencoded as lossless audio.

I looked at the new audio as a spectrograph and compared it to the original MP3s. Not only were they the same level of compression as the originals, they were the same exact graphs. The same files, renamed from .mp3 to .flac.

That’s some proper gaslighting!

The story about how Apple got its name is basically that.

The original employees were brainstorming what to call the company. Steve said just call it Apple. Everyone hated that idea. Steve barked back and said if none of you can come up with a better name than that, we’re calling it Apple. And the rest is history.

Team Rocket tried to hold up a PokeCenter in episode 2!

Can’t even nail down the decade.

Dad jokes are the only time where shaking my head in disapproval means I liked it.
