when it comes to the whole mess with WordPress and Matt Mullenweg, one theory I’d like to see examined more closely is that an evil magician perhaps used a “dumbass curse” on him as revenge for a careless act at a coffee shop or child’s birthday party. There’s even no saying how long ago this happened, or if it’s possible that it’s happened multiple times and the effects stack

is people on Twitch insisting that they cannot possibly interpret sarcasm without a specific emote added to the end of a statement, ESPECIALLY since the same people would insist that the emote is a somehow-working version of the classic "no offense".

I think that the true "gamer's edge" is the ability to be able to watch a piece of media that depicts gaming culture and clock at any given moment whether it's authentic or not. the way a person moves their hands while playing a certain genre of game. the fidelity/depth of sound design relative to the graphical fidelity. the precise level of narrative irony vs the game's supposed release date / mainstream appeal.
