At this point that's kind of what the ps5 is doing. I buy a lot of indies on there and most of them are actually just ps4 releases that are available through backwards compatibility

This is what I love about japanese wrestling. The presentation of the bigger promotions tricks people into thinking it's super serious. Then you watch backstage comments and get some of the wildest lore dump moments. Like how minoru suzuki used to tag with a man he brainwashed to act like an animal

It's a constant in american politics but also I've not seen them try to do it this fast. Like George Bush had to be retired for a few years and put out that shitty book where he painted soldiers that his decisions directly harmed

I consider myself an appreciator but not a defender. I like the character archetype of the mediocre pilot who is constantly falling upward due to the main character constantly killing his friends and acquaintances. It's also why I like Iguazu from AC6

I was replying to the fact that he scoffed at the idea of watching wrestling. Read through my replies, I don't think this is fake. I was talking about using kayfabe as a framework to view modern politicsl

It's why I love Zeta. All the villains are the worst. Jerid is the most mediocre man and Paptimus is the kind of guy who wears a "the future is female shirt" and has a wikipedia section about all his alegations

Here's a page the author made to talk about the concept of neokayfabe and how it applies to the modern political movement. josie.zone/welcome-to-n...

I get you think your doing a thing but if you read the book you'd realize how silly what you just said is.

I think for the annoying thing for me on this is that the Q Anon people are just going to convince themselves that this was a deepstate plot.

I'm sorry I was trying to be nice and educate you on this. I still recommend reading the book as it's very useful for understanding the current moment and I do hope you get over your smugness and actually read something

To the audience in it's storytelling. Again I highly recommend reading the book

Like if you don't understand the complex relationship between a heel wrestler and the audience you don't really have the framework to understand how trump acts.
And that's before we get to the story telling tactics used. Like the way wrestling incorporates internal information that's been leaked
comment in response to
post
Yes but also trump has been heavily influenced by wwe and wrestling is more complicated than just a story line written by writers. i recommend reading the book because Josie Riesman does a great job explaining that link with the concept of neokayfabe

Yeah that and assuming wrestling fans are uneducated

As someone who both reads books and watches professional wrestling, understanding pro wrestling is useful for understanding the current era of politics we are in, which you would know if you read the book ringmaster by Josie Riesman

also what is he even saying in the first post?

I don't know and twitter doesn't mention it in its documentation.

I don't even understand the logic there. Like "surely this person I never met before will be down to fight me so I can win a free ps3 that he paid for"

I have played all the metal gear games repeatedly and I can tell you the guides are bullshit on that one. I've never been able to beat rex on my first try. Every strategy only half works and that's why I honestly always dread getting to the end of metal gear solid

i don't know what you did to piss of that cat but I'd watch out. They look like they are plotting.

Well I came into this joke with knowledge that it was a joke so I didn't really have to learn anything in this exchange and actually that's not even true. I decided to look up Chris Geidner just to make sure he was not in fact that manager of 14th street and I found out he used to work for buzzfeed
comment in response to
post
Well there you have it you didn't get the joke. Now you can move on with your life. Also who cares if people don't use a word regularly. Just because I made you look up what a jape is so you could write your response, you shouldn't get made. you should be happy you learned something today
comment in response to
post
actually it is a jape as the unaware reader might come across it and go "Oh no management is gonna penalize those stories for not being pro-lgbtq enough. I better say something" but then they'd stop themselves and look the writer up and realize the jape they just witnessed.

What you've got is the rare situation where both of these pieces of information are well understood facts. Now I mentioned googling I was trying to be the change I want to see. I'm the type of person who looks someone up when I'm confused instead of getting angry. you should consider that

So there's this thing called an audience. Sometimes a joke is meant for people who know that
- Title
at the end of a memo refers to who wrote the memo and sometimes a joke is also meant for people who know that Chris Geidner is not part of the management of 14th street without having to look him up
comment in response to

Now I understand this may be hard to follow but sometimes people state things that aren't true and are very obviously not true to the audience that they are presenting this statement too. This is what we in the biz like to call a jest or a jape.

So in the post you replied to one Chris Geidner stated, as the manager of 14th street, that he noted the businesses on 14th street that did not comply with pride month. Now a quick google search of Chris Geidner reveals he is not actually the manager of 14th street.

Like you could delete your post and go on about your day like nothing happened but instead you have to make it out that everyone is the bad guy because you didn't get a joke and it hurt your feelings
comment in response to

Oh now you're using poorly applied therapy speak to avoid the fact that you were weirdly hostile to a dude making a joke you didn't get, that wasn't even fucking for you. Do you even follow him or did you just stumble upon this and got angry?
comment in response to

I mean you could try not being a thin skinned dork ass loser that freaks the fuck out because a gay person made a joke about businesses during pride month
comment in response to

And no just because you didn't get the joke that everyone else got and got mad about it does not mean the joke wasn't clear

Do you think Chris is the manager of 14th street?

That's why I'm asking

Yeah your original comment was being weirdly antagonistic to an obvious joke post

Also why are you being weirdly antagonistic to queer people during pride month?

Oh sorry typing with thumbs. The sentence there meant to say "parae an obvious joke."
Again thank you for your service

I hate shit like that so much. I don't watch shoujo but I'm very into niche mecha anime and anytime I see a list like that I can always tell when someone knows nothing about that genre because there's never anything from the 80s

Every year a straight person makes an ass of themselves in pride month due to being unable to an obvious joke. Thank you for continuing that tradition and being this years token straight idiot

The only reason I know about that channel is I think they had the broadcast rights to please like me in the states. Nothing on that channel appealed to me except the one show they didn't even make

classified their peaceful protest as a violent one. By the logic you are using this is perfectly acceptable. Remember these things are never used one way and in the current climate they are more likely going to be used against leftist students and people you agree with.

To give you an idea of why in practice what you are arguing for is incredibly dumb let me tell you about a recent student protest in the college near me. A group of students last year did a protest at my local college. This was violently stopped by the cops due to a recent policy change that

People always forget the psp remake. From what I understand it has a better translation. I didn't get very far as they never fixed my big issue with the game, how slow the battle system is when you aren't in control
