while we wait for your ruling i have taken the liberty of defacing the vanity name to remove the coincidental reference to an american prison

not no more

the phrase ‘cherished brainworms’ has been demoted from thread to a true non videogame thing you ACTUALLY think about a lot

“Oh I never clicked on that thread cuz it had ‘xxx porno parody’ in the title. I didn’t know you were making a game.” --numerous posters, simultaneously humbling me, validating my sense of superiority, and reminding me why I haven’t sold out Budokan yet

Proud to uphold a select button tradition

as long as it’s indexable in search via parentheticals i think we should just keep adding hats

i also don’t get any references ever, the most common statement to come out of my mouth is “i don’t get it” so i just assume everything i don’t get is a reference to something i have either not experienced or have forgotten

i didn’t mean to imply you were heckling in any way, your feedback was really specific/helpful and that’s why i changed that thread title.

good news, I thought of one thanks to Hideki Nyaganuma’s ceaseless posting

No, I am an active heckler, that’s what I was saying

Me, and I’m constantly in awe of everybody here.

Having thread titles that are weird jokes is fine but I kinda think what they are should be pretty clear even if you don’t get the joke?

Like it’s pretty clear ‘What’s going on with U’ is a deference to something but I don’t know what it means. I also know what the sentence means and it’s about what’s going on in the thread because it’s a literal description. Conversely the screenshot thread despite having screenshot in the name is just…completely confusing.

My position is I’m assuming we do get new posters in and I think tipping the hat to a little clarity isn’t bad. And besides that, the extremely long hard to understand names make it harder for my dyslexic brain to process, and gives me a lot of stress for missing a social cue because of other particular brain weirdness.

I don’t see why “This makes sense if you don’t get the joke” is that unreasonable a request for megathreads? And I do think specifically, this is a megathread thing, not like, any other thing. I don’t think anyone is complaining about threads other than the megathread titles.

It’s not, and that’s why they’ll use parentheticals where appropriate

Actually it is none. I just tried to think of a clear, slightly clever to get the idea of the thread across. Maybe Maybe a vague reference to the Wii U. But was practicing what I was asking for and tried to make clearer megathread titles.

I took it as a Prince sort of thing.

Yeah I definitely thought it was going to be a Wii U thread when I clicked on it

I think this is how the Tower of Babel got started!

Well, not so much got started as got stopped, actually.
