The guiltiest lol

"Steve made us go meet with Nintendo to see if they would consider being acquired. They just laughed their asses off. Like, imagine an hour of somebody just laughing at you. That was kind of how that meeting went."

Lol. Bear in mind this was also during maximum Square Soft "high on their own supply" era, during the Spirits Within and FFVII movies.

wait, whaa? i don't feel like going on reddit but they somehow saved gamestop from going out of business?

not at all but it's a helluva story, google it.

i should wait for this news to spread and then buy low on gamestock

I am morbidly curious to see how high GME will go this week. already peaked at $150 today - this stock was around $20 a month ago, and $5 a year ago!
Not sure I'm curious enough to start a Robinhood account though... but money won is always better than money earned, right?

Embracing the pyramid scheme of the stock market.

Should people be shorting GME or are there too many morons available to prop this thing up for long enough to make shorting prohibitively painful?

it's because there were already people shorting GME, that it's rising, because the stock market

Is this situation ONE WEIRD TRICK that's inherent to shorting, and that GME happened to be the one company that this happened to?

President Biden competing in Mario Kart against granddaughter Naomi. She says he “barely” won. pic.twitter.com/JhDMX1TTMv

just waiting for the conservative/tucker carlson exposé on "cheating" and "rubber-banding" in mario kart. biden didn't win, he cheated! the whole game is rigged!!

thinking about if i’ve seen a single photo of trump and his grandkids

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/82/Francisco_de_Goya%2C_Saturno_devorando_a_su_hijo_%281819-1823%29.jpg

trump would play a 1-player game, promise to hand it off to the grandkid when he lost, and then every time he lost he would claim he was cheated and deserved another free turn

There are articles about this but really that has it all.

Why did that video decide to put the punchline right at the start?

probably b/c videos have about four seconds to get ppl's attention before they click away

Well, it worked, because even though the video is like a buck-thirty long, once I realized the bulk of it was the "making-of" the two-second joke, I didn't bother.

I assume that I am late to Japan World Cup, but what the hell:

Funny stuff instantly rendered unfunny by the people talking over it to tell us how funny it is (though I always hated ms3tk etc for the same reason so maybe I'm an outlier?)

There are like ReBoot fever dreams...

xp i have tried to get into ms3tk a million times

i think i'm so vain that i think my internal jokes about the bad movies are funnier

I riff to myself sometimes but classic mst3k episodes can’t be beat

Manos is on right now

https://www.twitch.tv/mst3k

i've said this on the MST thread, but the key to the classic period is that very few jokes are really of the type "hey, this movie sure is dumb/bad, huh?" and when they are, many of them get at that by picking up on some very small detail or odd bit of writing or production design that hits my brain in a left-field unexpected way. but YMMV!

i remember the first time i went to rocky horror, that was also a long time ago
