As someone who grew up with a 20-some inch CRT in a console format (think TV-as-furniture that sits on the floor and not a TV that sits on furniture), and then eventually got a 19" hand me down for bedroom use… yeah, the commonality of enormous flat panels still makes me shake my head in wonder sometimes.
That said, when my parents’ 27" CRT died about 10 years ago, we gave them our old 55" plasma. It was hilariously oversized for the space. But it was free (to them) and we made it work.

Not at all. Just responding to a link with a link. I didn’t realize the Battletoads memedom went beyond misidentifying games. TIL.

I don’t get it. Why would I say my favorite game is Battletoads? Now, if they had posted a screenshot, asking what game this was, yeah, then it’s obviously Battletoads.

It sounds that way, especially since the next like is pronounced “mighty swerds.” 😂 And that’s what I thought it was for years. But in the context of the rest of the lyrics “worlds” makes sense.
In any case, Nightwish is no stranger to misheard/pronounced lyrics.

Hierarchy. The invisible sky wizard makes the rules, and if we don’t follow them we burn. And so on down the line, priests, pastors, presidents (unless they’re black, hoo boy did that send them over the edge), police, parents. Do as you’re told. Do not question authority. It’s practical preparation for school and the workforce at least.
Meanwhile, all of my birthday parties were keggers because the weather was nice and the adults liked to party. And I was at most 4 years old when I learned that I shouldn’t touch the small squares of mirror. Or the plastic film canisters.
There’s nothing quite like the smell of hypocrisy in the morning. Overflowing ash trays and last night’s beer cans when you’re trying to eat breakfast comes close though.

What’s even weirder is being raised by Christians, taught to hate the blacks and mistrust the Jews (using the usual inappropriate slurs at every opportunity), never going to church outside of a few Easters, and growing up slowly learning that your parents were full of shit and they never actually read the book they said was so super important.

Dammit. Back in my day, Jesus was just a humble public access TV host.

Also you can’t ask them why they did something, they have no capacity of introspection, (…) they just make up something that sounds plausible for “what were you thinking”.
It’s uncanny how it keeps becoming more human-like.

…I’m honestly not sure how to answer. I mean, there were lighthearted aspects. Who names their kids Cookie, Cracker, and Biscuit? 😂😅😢 But start to finish, it was a tragedy in the classic sense.

“Fun” is not a word that comes to my mind when thinking about IBO lol. Intense, gut-wrenching, gripping, cathartic… yeah that sounds more accurate. Either way, seconding the recommend.
