Somebody needs to make a version of the clown-makeup meme where the last panel is just a picture of a circus tent.

As in "You are not a clown; you are the entire circus."
Every jumbled pile of person has a thinking part that wonders what the part that isn't thinking isn't thinking of...

curiously enough it sucked in a strangely different way than I was expecting. I see what it was trying to do but the type of movie it's trying to be doesn't really interest me and it was semi-incompetent at that anyway. it's also in a weird spot where it didn't really need to be a "Joker" movie at all, but simultaneously it wouldn't be even as interesting without the brand association so what the hell

Joker at least attempts nuance and commentary, but the fact that it's leveraging a pop culture character with such an uncritical and unironic following to do so actively harms the intended message. It'd be genuinely better if it weren't a licensed film at all, but that's not ~marketable~. And yeah, Taxi Driver/King of Comedy already exist, which would make it completely redundant without the license.

I stumble upon an expression a lot lately and it's "POG".
Just from the context alone I assume it's an expression of excitement and approval.
However I am unable to get what it really means and from where it comes from.

I know Pogs as those cardboard discs that I used to collect for the very short time when they were en vogue.
I had over 100 Pogs with Disney characters back then.

So, this expression has a lot of meme history behind it. A very popular emote in stream chats and elsewhere is this:

Image

This is "pogchamp," an emote used to denote excitement at something awesome happening, also expressed with the word "poggers" or just "pog," as you have noticed. The man pictured here is Gootecks, a fighting game player largely responsible for creating the California e-sports scene for Street Fighter 4 back in the day. He is also a massive shill and always looking to make a quick buck, which resulted in him making a bunch of dumb videos about inane stuff. One of those was a "pogs champion" video about him and other players playing pogs. 4chan (of course) spammed that image of his face (from a blooper from an older video) all over the thread and streams and such, which thus gave it the legacy and title as the "pogchamp" emote that you see today.

Isn't internet history fascinating? :v:

Note: Gootecks is also a noted anit-vaxxer and anit-mask scumbag, but he hates that pogchamp is his legacy, so continuing to use it just makes him mad and thus makes me happy. :anticipation:

I was going to say that for a faceless corporate site, Twitch sure has a weird, random selection of default emotes. Then I remembered that (A) so does Something Awful, and (B) Twitch has only been a faceless corporate site for the past few years out of its ten-year existence or so.

SA at least is the way it is because you can pay $30 to upload one for everyone to use, whereas the weird stuff by default on Twitch was mostly in-jokes and other stuff the site's early developers thought was funny, like the "kappa" face.

Here's a wild one. In the Animal Crossing games, the animals' dialogue is generated by feeding the already-localized text into a deliberately garbled speech synthesizer. The exact code has evolved considerably over the years, and in some of the games the Japanese version is almost perfectly intelligible if still highly sped-up, but the basic method has not changed. On the other hand, the lyrics to K. K. Slider's songs are deliberately gibberish, similar to the Splatoon songs, and are the same in every region and have not changed since 2000 aside from probably being converted from raw MIDI to actual audio files. So, in-universe, is K. K. singing in a different language than he and all the other characters speak? Is he the equivalent of a K-pop star, understood only by his most hardcore fans?

Why do we need double jumps? They should just make the regular jumps better.

Sacrilege! Double Jumps feel empowering!
They are a little rocket push when you need it.

The only mainstream bad implementation of it, that comes immediately to my mind, is in "Ghouls 'n Ghosts" just because there is no way to correct the arc mid-jump, making the game harder than it needs to be. An accidental double jump can thus be more fatal than useful.
