Me 2023: what’s your favorite pikichu, son? The fire lizard one?
Leonardo!
My son loves Leonardo, they were sold out at the store so I got him a Donatello instead, I’m sure he’ll love it, he likes all that pokemans stuff.
Hey bud, How’s the pokeyman hunt going?
Surfing Pikachu for sure.
“It’s Minecraft, not mind-”
“That son of a bitch…”
That was my exact thought process.
“Wait, why is he spelling it wrong. It’s M- oh, he’s doing it on purpose. You dirty fucker.”
I’m not kidding, that’s what I though it was called at first. This was way before everyone knew what the game was, so it’s reasonable. It was right around when rails were added, which seems to be 2010, which feels weird that we’re 13 years later and the game is still popular.
mindcraft
Is there a “thatsthejoke” Lemmy community
Better than Meinkraf
I liked thinking of it as ‘Meinkraft’. Fun mental swap.
Notch likes thinking that too.
It’s Mycraft, because you own the stuff you build. People just think it’s “Mindcraft” because you have to think about it, but you don’t really have to think about it all that much. It’s not rocket science, like Curveball Space Program.
A coworker recently showed a picture of Minecraft in a meeting and confidently said it was Roblox. I wanted correct him but I didn’t want to be that guy.
Depends if you’re vying for their job.
“Come on Johnson, how are we supposed to trust your numbers if you don’t even know what you’re presenting”
Proceeds to take over the presentation.
I read that in Cave Johnson’s voice, and him berating someone else with the last name Johnson is even more fitting
I can even imagine talking to himself like that in the middle of a presentation, proceeding to take over it from himself.
Thats cause “Come on Johnson” echoes “Cave Johnson here” usually at the beginning of those messages.
Pulls out a sharpie and cover over the other dude’s first name

Do you think you could have been the other guy, showing a picture of a different popular game and confidently saying it was something else?
(feel free to ignore this, i’m posting to check something with lemons)
Sure, I’ve misspoken plenty of times.
Mindcraft
You’ve become the very thing you swore to destroy!
Probably did it on purpose for the kids reading his comment.
My brother insists on calling Roblox “Robots” to his kids. This appropriately infuriates them. I’m workshopping Fork-knife to bug my step kids.
Fork-knife sounds like too much out of the gates, ya gotta pick one
Start small with Forknight or Fortknife, workshop some more if that doesn’t get the desired reaction
Fort Fight, pronounced as 2 words. It works because it’s plausible.
I’ve been calling Fortnight Forknife for at least 15 years now. We’re pretty progressive around our house.
Actually if there was a game called “Mindcraft” that would be as on flames as an af, no hat.
that felt like 3 sequential punches in the gut
I teach middle school so I know all the latest slang. Can’t help myself though because I love to mess with them.
I always ask them about pokey man cards and fort knife. Little do they know I had Pokemon cards before they were born and I have season 1 Fortnite skins that I got before they were old enough to play video games.
I’ll say, “oh you’re a gamer? Do you play that fort knife game? Wait it’s what? Fork Night? Is it like a Mario kind of thing? What do you do in it?”
Then after they explain I’ll say, “Wow, a lot has changed since I got that OG skull trooper skin. I stopped playing because everyone was straight dog water and I got bored.”
They fucking love it every time.
I used to play an MS DOS game called Siege that was made by Mindcraft. Brings back lots of memories since it was displayed on the screen for several minutes while it loaded lol. Had a cool animation and logo for the time.
Hmmm, the comic looks a bit surreal now that Twitch is a thing.
“How do you do fellow kids? Yes indeed the day does for-real be cap. Hope you have a mid one!” (I did the photo edit myself btw, OC)
Lol the broccoli haircut.
I find a good amount of humor in the fact that in response to a webcomic maker, you posted a competing webcomic for relevance, but I don’t know why it’s so funny to me.
wdym “in response to a webcomic maker”? this is a tweet
Drewtoothpaste does webcomics too.
ah I see
Toothpaste for Dinner has been around for a long time, almost as long as XKCD itself.
I think this might be a new rule if the Internet…
There is always a relevant xkcd.
New? Nah, this has been around for years.
He’s one of today’s 10 000.
I think this might be a new rule if the Internet…
There is always a relevant xkcd.
So it has come to this.
(they clearly know what they did you old bastards)
Playing dumb and intentionally calling things by the wrong name will never stop being funny. Annoying, but funny.
Lemonworld sure have the best microblag memes.
I still call it Pokemans despite growing up playing the games, buying the cards, and watching the show.
Them: “Why are you mocking something you like?” Me: “I DON’T KNOW! 😭”
I “mistakenly” mixed up bussin’ with bussy when my niece and nephew were in their late teens.
I doubled down when they corrected me. “Well what’s bussy then? If you don’t tell me what it means I’m going to ask your friends next time I see them.”
This was at a family dinner, by the way. My sister and BIL thought it was hilarious.
Lemon party.

You kids on the snapgram?
Or FaceSpace
“Looking at your friends Google? Your grandmother is on there you know.”
I’m so old, I don’t even know what to misname.
Calling TikTok “Facebook” or “Facey whatsit” goes well. Especially seeming as Facebook’s seen as an old person’s platform, even to the middle-age that were there for its heydays during their teens and 20s. Yet it’s still relevant enough that young kids know what it is.
Double down on it.
“Have you seen this TikTok?”
“I don’t have Facebook.”
“Have you seen this tiktok?” “I don’t have Facebook”
is so funny I’m gonna use it on my TikTok generation peers. Thanks, grandpa!
Are the kids these days still using that facespace thingy mabob?

My mother called Bed, Bath and Beyond (back when it was an actual store) “Bed and Bath.” But she’s just like that. She also calls Menards “Maynards.” Not because of a Southern accent or something, she grew up in New York City. She’s just weird.
We called it “Blood Bath From Beyond”.
There was also bath and body works which smelled way better, maybe she combined both?
I think she’s just kind of dotty to be honest. You should hear what she thinks about preserving foods in her pantry for a decade or more. I don’t eat at her house.
That’s more accurate anyway. There’s no Beyond section.
The Internet should be a repository for so much knowledge that getting something incorrect should take a monumental effort.
But… *gestures vaguely*
Quite the opposite. There is lots of information, but lots of it is incorrect.
Actually, there was a study done, and the conclusion was that all the information on the internet was wrong.
Sadly you wont find the study online because that would invalidate their findings.
This is why internet reviewers who constantly get shit wrong baffle me.
“Bro how are you this bad at research?”
Comments drive engagement.
