Hey bud, How's the pokeyman hunt going?

Is there a "thatsthejoke" Lemmy community

Better than Meinkraf

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.

Probably did it on purpose for the kids reading his comment.

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.

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

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.

The children long for the minds

"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)

I still call it Pokemans despite growing up playing the games, buying the cards, and watching the show.

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."

We called it "Blood Bath From Beyond".

There was also bath and body works which smelled way better, maybe she combined both?

Quite the opposite. There is lots of information, but lots of it is incorrect.

This is why internet reviewers who constantly get shit wrong baffle me.

"Bro how are you this bad at research?"
