hail satan

[vinney >:D]

hey nerds

i think i missed the rush of activity by only a whole year but that's on-brand so we'll go with that, i guess

folks in the other threads here are giving life updates but there's only so much i can do to spin "i work a 9-5 and zoom off to another country as soon as they let me out of the kennel for a week" into something worth reading.

i still love video games and one day i might even play one

That forum is locked behind a paywall verification. If one of us recognizes your username, you get added to the GW Elder group for all of the geriatrics from the old iteration and then you get access.

So, we’re good then.

hey crystal, i'm pretty sure we used to have a tag-team thing going for reviewing ill-fated spinoff forums back when people made websites!

i can't remember if we actually ever interacted outside of GW but you always seemed like a good bean. congrats on the transition, too!

That's right, we did! Forum Faux Pas, my only true contribution to GW, lol.

I think we chatted once, maybe twice, but that was more on me than anything, I did my best to hide in those days, wasn't ready to face some things about myself. But...well...that's changed, lol. Thanks, Vinny

 

[Local Hero]

Happy belated birthday, I presume

 

[Benzine]

hi vinny

 

[Leandros?]

who invited the sex pest

 

[vinney >:D]

thanks boss. they keep happening and nobody has told me how to stop them yet but i'll probably figure it out eventually

holy shit i forgot there was even a name for the bit. for real though, it's surreal to see the crazy

hi vinny

hi benzine

Welcome back Al.

can't believe after all these years Al-generated content has finally hit the mainstream

who invited the sex pest

haven't you been here all along

 

[Crystal]

I still have the original list saved of "Faux Pas" that forums often make. It's so cringe, but it was accurate for the time

 

[vinney >:D]

i've got a bunch of screenshots kicking around somewhere but i think all the interesting stuff (like lotus' mod forum taster pack) has already been covered here.

i think people just make youtube commentary channels instead these days.

 

[Crystal]

Oh absolutely they do, damn kids ruining everything with more efficient ways of doing things.

Hail Satan?

Well, sorry to burst the bubble on that one, but Mr. Satan wasn't the one who beat Cell. It was Gohan.

 

[vinney >:D]

the specific topic's outdated, but honestly? a lot of the general advice in that guide still applies to discord servers or other community-based stuff.

listen pal, just cos he wasn't the one who beat cell doesn't mean we can't appreciate him

unless it does, i dunno, i've never watched that dragon's balls show

That's a fair point, actually. Never considered that it could apply to Discord, etc.

Nah, we don't want to worship him, he's like Macho Man and Hulk Hogan rolled into one, and just as racist.

 

[MC74]

Nah, we don't want to worship him, he's like Macho Man and Hulk Hogan rolled into one, and just as racist.

And he's a jobber to boot. He might as well join the J.O.B Squad.

it's fucked up that there were days where we couldn't just check to see if someone was verified on twitter to find out this kind of thing

T...twitter? Is that like a new Myspace?

 

[vinney >:D]

there's not a lot of times i'll happily use a deadname, but when it actively annoys one of the world's richest transphobes...

He and JK Rowling would make a wonderful couple...

i'd agree, but she's become such a one-trick pony that even musk is getting tired of it

cw: titans of transphobia

When even a transphobe hates a transphobe...it's a miracle.

 

[vinney >:D]

last i heard, rowling's hordes of shrieking terf minions were brigading musk's reply but i'm not sure he even noticed through his ketamine haze

Too busy trying to sink Twixer, I suppose.

 

[vinney >:D]

guy spends hours every day posting about eugenics, birth rate decline, and saving humanity and yet has seemingly never noticed that crashing that site into the ocean is possibly the single best thing he's done for humanity

 

[Crystal]

Firing all of the relevant engineers certainly helped his cause, lol

 

[MC74]

The sooner Twatter is put out of its misery, the better.

[Ants!]

Doesn't seem like the Vinny I remember

 

[Ants!]

Nimrodded

 

[vinney >:D]

Is this Vinny like Enalynniv? From Scotland?

sup tommy. i'm pretty sure i've still got you on steam but i keep changing my name to annoy my friends in apex so it's entirely possible it looks like i disappeared.

who invited the sex pest

Don't let him find out we talk about my wiener a lot now.

 

[vinney >:D]

[shortkut]

There’s a reason only you have the eggplant badge.

 

[Fire Queen]
