Well that sucks. I was really liking this game but I’m not supporting trash people with my money. Sucks for the developers working there. Refund requested and review with reasoning posted.

I was unaware that Thomas Mahler was such a goon, bad boss, and puts out misleading press to bolster sales. I have requested a refund and will not be supporting anything he is involved in going forward.

internet’s oldest memes

2005

Dancing baby would like a word

Visstix,

Yeah that’s maybe youtube’s oldest meme (probably not), not the internet.

Dancing baby was way before youtube existed

Dorkyd68,

There was a lady lawyer show on TV called ally mcbeal and she was like crazy or something and used to hallucinate the dancing baby. I don’t remember it that well as it was an old people show and I was a kid but yeah way before youtube

Denjin,

Dancing baby was everywhere, truly the first Internet driven viral phenomenon. And yes, it did feature in Ally McBeal which was a huge TV show mid-late 90s which goes to illustrate how truly viral the dancing baby meme was at a time where Internet usage was still limited to only a minority of people with access to desktop computers.

Visstix,

I meant leroy, not the baby.

Oh, sorry. Context is not my strong suit

FooBarrington,

One of. Not the oldest meme, one of the oldest.

Chewbacca would like a word.

Chewbacca ate my balls.

grrgyle,

You get it

samus12345,

Yeah, dancing baby was 1996, 9 years before 2005, which is an eternity in internet years. Leeroy is one of the internet’s older memes, sure, but way too new to qualify as one of the oldest.

A couple years ago my non-gamer girlfriend came home from work and asked if I had ever seen the Leroy Jenkins video since I used to play WoW. I was like, “yes, yes I know about that video.” She thought it was hilarious even though she had no idea what it meant.

roscoe, (edited )

My wife loved it too even though she didn’t play MMOs, but she had a basic understanding from hearing me talk about them.

She couldn’t get enough of the DKP minus video from around the same time, although I did have to explain DKP because none of my groups used it.

JustAnotherKay,

I did have to explain DKP

“So basically imagine if capitalists distributed loot”

EncryptKeeper,

There’s an app called Active911 used by first responders like EMS and firemen to receive dispatch pages in lieu of a physical digital pager, and as far back as I can remember one of the selectable alert tones alongside various beep patterns, horns, and klaxons, was a recording of Leeroy Jenkins’ famous yell lmao

It was an obvious content bait piece, and it worked. Got shared everywhere, people kept saying “no the game is actually amazing now guys trust me buy three copies” and all it took was a Discord message, way cheaper than hiring a link building service or outreach campaign.

brsrklf,

Oh. That guy. Thanks for the reminder.

Important context for whatever he has to say, between the rants about teh woke gaem jernalizm and cancel culture, and being called out as an edgy harassing asshole by his own employees.

I guess there are some cultures, especially work cultures and those enforcing them, that I don’t mind being “cancelled”, if only it worked.

It did sound like the initial comments were taken from Discord, not an interview, which to me paints it in a different light.

I’m sure I’ve claimed to be the Queen of England on there once.

Rhynoplaz,

Wait. You can do that??? Oh no.

Does it though? I feel like there’s a difference between chatting with your mates and posting stuff aimed at your customers - especially things that might drive them to take actions that will affect your bottom line.

I feel like Leeroy Jenkins is the millenials “Jeronimo”, I 100% shout it in its place and I can assure you some shouted it while jumping out of an airplane and their instuctor or officer had no clue what they were talking about, and that will always make me chuckle.

Wait, what? Ask A Ninja uploaded a new video?!

It’s been - what? - 14 years since the last one…

Is the internet coming back alive again? Is nature healing?

GeeDubHayduke,

Ask a ninja is back! He’s been uploading at least once a week for a couple weeks now.

Nibodhika,

I get what you meant but a couple means 2, so someone uploading once a week for a couple of weeks means he uploaded 2 videos, which could just be coincidence, not a pattern.

pezhore,

Homestar Runner released a video too!

He’s done a couple new ones, exact same format and theme song and everything. It was surreal having that pop up in front of me.

Still one of my favorite memes of all time.
