I always remember a guide I saw for whether or not one should get a man bun:
"Are you Japanese film star Toshiro Mifune? If the answer is no, you should not get a man bun."

That's how it always goes. The carefully crafted posts that you thoroughly consider in advance to make sure they're worded just right? Crickets. An off-the-cuff musing that you didn't give any real thought to? Instantly viral.

Impressive! My favorite skill localizations are still the three stealth skills I named after lines in "With Cat-Like Tread" from Pirates of Penzance. Never saw anyone mention it on the forums but I always hope someone, somewhere, saw that, recognized it, and smiled.

There were some bizarre choices made about Spore's gameplay loops.

Reminds me of a story I heard of a parent who went to a video game store and asked for a game without conflict. The clerk started listing off a variety of non-violent games, and the parent clarified that no, he wanted a game for his son that had no elements of conflict whatsoever.

Not just "don't elect a man who will," but also "don't elect a Congress who won't stop him," because they absolutely could if they wanted to.
