1. make HARARIOUS MEME on forum :3

2. post 2 reddit months later to share w/ MUH NEW FRENS ;3 ;3 ;3

3. get obliterated by downvotes saying I stole teh precious meme >83

Imagine caring about your fucking Reddit score though

OH NOES, NOT MUH NECKBREAD.COM SOCIAL CREDIT SCORE (SPONSORED BY ASS.PUBE.NET)

[Arino]

hahaha lol

[BIL]

Oh shit muh REDDIT SCORE is goin up! Even as muh REDDIT REP is goin down!

[Arino]

My Reddit posts mostly get deleted because of some kind of rule I didn't know about. And my score is below zero

[Sima Tuna]

Plebbit only allows posts that get THIS MANY upboats.

This shit is surreal. Having seized the coveted #1 SPOT, I have set off a cross-forum investigations with my daft meme of a hillbilly pedo from To Catch A Predator. (he is bald and fat, resembling famous George Constanza) A Reddit mod (the shame ) has PMd me to determine if I am the TRVE+HONEST creator, or a - may Allah forgive me for saying this - CONTENT THIEF!

This fuck is lucky I never leak private correspondence. I would use his overly generous profile to locate his workplace, then use this cringeful message to

1) putting him ina the CAMEL CLUTCH
2) BREAKA his BACK
3) FUCKING HIM IN HIS ASS (making him humble)

edit: Who am I kidding, his boss is probably a weird fuck too. If he exists. >_> But Christ Jesus. I knew Discord was full of differently abled individuals, but I can deal with them. Actually I find them kinda cute. This is some kinda fucked up cargo cult, except instead of poor black guys looking out for guns and food it's a bunch of neckbreads rubbing their choads @ numbers. Wait a sec...

[Arino]

You are just too cool for this world, BIL. <3

INTERNET: SRS BSNS

I applaud Kachou for making this thread, though.
My heart breaks a little each time the M2 thread gets a bump and the only news is that there's no new news.

Am I the only one with no smelly idea of what's going on here ?

BIL was treated unfairly. On the internet. Regarding something unimportant that doesn't affect his life at all. Therefore, we are now doing our best to provide moral support.

JYEEAAA BOYEEE still got the #2 spot

Thanks for explanation.

I must acknowledge I do not understand half+ of the usual BIL's fashion posts here, but guess he is definitely to be considered as a cornerstone of this forum.
So I'll participate in giving mental support by ... telling a bad joke ? This one's for you BIL :

- Why would BIF rather play video games ?
- Because he does not give a LUCK about anything else.

[BIL]

BIF a real muhLucka, I used to distract the store clerk while he picked the Raiden cab's door and set the board to Free Play BITD He later died in a tragic jenkem refinery explosion, it was a hard time for everyone. 3;

A run-in with the RETSNAZ? Don't become a Person of Interest in the eyes of The Party, Birru!

Take it from this fellow, one of the few survivors from the Great Tetris Palaver of '88:

[BIL]

Randar-san I have a dangerous idea I will continue to crosspost my much-loved FUCKEN DANK MEMEZ while subtly implying via omission that I am, in fact... FUCKIN STEALIN ALL THE DOOTS

Thus will a new dark legend take hold in the people's minds. SNAP PUSSY for days, as I girthfully occupy the #1, #2, and #3 spots in Beatlesesque fashion!



^ thats ME vs my EVIL ALTER EGO at the END OF TIME (メ｀w´) (｀w´メ) (◎w◎;)

Well, the Redditors' minds. Which makes this tantamount to tormenting the stricken I suppose. >_> Shin Ankoku Densetsu TWO TIMES

Used to live close to a factory that had piles of token size slugs lying about. Had to bend some of the edges, but they worked otherwise. The arcade fella went berzerk. Started running up on everyone and inspecting our coinage. Naturally, the kid that got fingered put on a tough front, but he burst into tears and spilled everything when he got caught. Say you don't need to buy some real tokens and mix them in? You're wrong, boyo.

[Daytime Waitress]

Read slugs as slugs and imagined kids cramming homeless snails into the cabs to get their fix.
The call is coming from inside the house, Reco-sama!

Delectable, like the spidey meme if it were a work the whole time

My brother-in-law used to rip off german vending machines with english pennies when he was working over there during the 90s - turns out they were just right shape and size to pass muster as deutschmark, before technology caught up and put paid to the petty snack fraud.

What is the name of the "belly band" that trade workers and generic old dudes wear in manga/anime (and, I guess, in Japan)? Zenigatta of Lupin III fame wears one when he's off service, and of course the Hammerin' Harry protagonist also wears one.

Sarashi. You see it also in delinquent manga/tv/movies/games, presumably because delinquents were imitating the older Yakuza who wore them. It seems to be a visual shorthand for japanese tough guy of a certain era.

Gotta keep your guts together when the tantos come out. 3; Ancient North American warriors were also known to duct-tape phonebooks around their waists when heading into battle! :O

Zomg thankyou !!1!!! ;______;

I struggled to find any info because I kept asking the wrong question to the interwebs, I guess. Yes, I am old enough to have read/seen tons of manga/anime in which the sarashi is a key icon of working class heroes of some sort. Hammerin' Harry's story is "honest working class hero craftsman vs. evil corporation", in fact. Harry and more in general old guys in anime seem to wear haramaki or 'belly warmer', which is the most jiji/ossan piece of clothing ever

[BIL]

Fuck yeah





...ah, jeeze. I wish Ruroni Nobuhiro hadn't nonced himself. Although I suppose I read his entire manga BITD without paying a single yen, so perhaps it takes a thief to bash a nonce? Whee, rationalisation! Dude drew some damn good shonen, needs to keep his dirty paws off the shojo.

[Lander]

Also good for shrugging off a bike wreck when you need to show the wet-behind-the-ears youngins what for

For a long time I assumed it was indicative of battle damage, rather than a preventative measure - means to keep slugging in spite of close-call disembowelment. Perhaps the not knowing is part of the HARDMANN mystique!

The rope sweatband is a stone-cold working classic as well, always enjoyed the sheer practicality of it.

It's amazing how good ideas get buried and tossed aside. I decided to break out my MiSTer again.

I've been hearing a lot about the new I/O board. I almost brought one.

But... I stumbled onto PWM.

Pulse width modulation (PWM) looks awfully good on my MiSTer 18-bit standard analog board. The results are indistinguishable to my eye on a CRT. Doesn't work with the analog scaler, but the results with native output are faithful. It's curious how little attention PWM has gotten. The new 24 bit board has become a luxury purchase for my use case. I don't need the MiSTer analog scan doubler.

A bit puzzling that the PSX core only has 26 downloads. Saturn and N64 are already available. It's rolled into the normal Groovy_Mister core. Easy to install. Just drop the cores on your MiSTer sd card.
https://misterfpga.org/viewtopic.php?t=7565

Anyhow, if you have one of the original I/O cards, it's a great download and a clever software workaround to get better color. It's a viable alternative for people that don't want to buy a new board, fork over cash for shipping and VAT, open the case, and mess about with an upgrade.

Comparison shots in the linked thread confirm what I see.

------

In other news, Groovy_MiSTer has sound and input support now. If you have a Realtec chip on your networking card and support for large tranfer buffers, it's worth checking out as well. It takes a little configuration, but you can have it up and running in one evening. No more ancient PCs and old Radeon graphics cards. Thank goodness.

Sometimes his posts are a little difficult to interpret i admit... when he explodes in exuberance like this, sometimes i imagine him as Ruby Rhod from The Fifth Element...
In my opinion he should start a Podcast *"nodding with hand on chin"*
