Could've gone without the covid stuff, but it wasn't too obnoxious and it was used well.

For whatever reason I'm remembering the time he got trolled into reading someone's recounting of ending up with horrible radiation burns and requiring skin grafts. The story included pictures, and it was just pictures from some F2M's phalloplasty lol, where they grow the fake dong on the forearm before transplanting it

It was the skinned graft arm IIRC, but they did get a "41% of the time this is fatal" in there before anyone figured it out.

edit: FOUND IT, 2023 in the Sideshows thread

I'm sure most of you have seen this video of someone opening a capsule of radioactive material on camera and putting their hand over it.

This YouTube video examines whether it's authentic or not, but that's not of relevance to this thread.
What IS relevant is the repost to Tumblr where the video got its' first hit of popularity, with an addendum by the OP:

Along with the OP taking the joke one step further

TL;DR: Man spins unexpected popularity of a repost of a funny video into calling phalloplasty'd pooners disgusting freaks and making a 41% joke. At least he followed the science

Like others have said the prose is a bit tryhard-y at times, particularly at the start where you have no idea what's going on and all you get is mountains of abstract prose.

Rest of the story bears strong resemblance to the Red Tower, that same weird abstract descriptions of a thing , your-interpretation-is-just-as-valid-as-the-next-guy's, I'm-not-sure-what-the-author-intended type of story. Literally, it's a guy with cancer crawling into a hole to meet an ancient goddess that's also the personification of nuclear energy and in this rebirth they will unleash havoc upon the world or something—a very Lovecraftian take.

My take, based on the final monologue, is that it's a giant metaphor for a guy re-discovering the nuclear bomb after the world had cast off its nuclear weapons generations, perhaps thousands of years before (beat your swords to plowshares—no idea why British). Maybe he's quite literally diving into those ancient storage sites or he's a scientist re-discovering atomic energy. Diving into buried history, literally or metaphorically, he suffers from radiation poisoning regardless. But through grit, determination, and having nowhere else to go anymore, he finally finds or discovers that uranium, plutonium, etc. still there and still ready to remind the world why it was hidden away in the first place. No idea how close it is to what the author intended (if they had anything concrete in mind, given their influences), but I like it regardless, and it only makes the COVID stuff look even more stupid and out of place so that's a plus.

E: besides that I think this story is far better suited as some kind of anime or short film or something with heavy narration overlaid on top of it. Reading about some guy crawling through a tight hole just doesn't hit the same as actually seeing someone in those tight squeezes.

Jacob Galliger is a breadtuber isn't he? I remember his infamous "who's afraid of modern art?" Video that was pure cringe. Did he change or just shift focus?

Let’s put it this way.
There’s a very good reason why nuclear as a concept is used a lot in eldritch and monster horror. You have this thing that is capable both of amazing things like cheap power yet also capable of the complete and total destruction of mankind. It’s not a stretch to portray it as some type of ancient god or force that may be better left buried.

 

[Rick The Stick]

Story was whatever, honestly. Kinda zoned out. Guess endlessly describing crawling in the dirt isn't the most exciting thing, so you gotta spice it up with some sentence enhancers. Wasn't bad at all, just didn't hit me.

I don't wanna sound like a fag, but I really am starting to think that maybe goon and meat aren't retarded and that perhaps I'm just a smartypants who knows words. Even if I type like a nigger. Everytime they find a word they don't know or get impressed with some flowery language, I just don't get it. Read some fucking books for reasons beyond needing a youtube check for the month, Christ.

 

[TerminalTryHard]

I enjoyed the story but I worry about the precedent of the of reading original stories off their subreddit. Their reddit fanbase is already cringe and parasocial and I think this is going to make it worse.

I hope they don't make a trend of it.

 

[Kari Kamiya]

Hunted down the story to read for myself, and it's literally Enigma of Amigara Fault but with the addition of bleach and radiation poisoning. M'kay then.

In fairness this guy had cred, so we’re not full on MBMBAM yet in terms of the fan base devouring the show.

That's a good word, I'll save that word for later.

Written by the guy who did It Bleeds, it’s about my genuine mortal fear which is caves, I think we’re cooking today.

That's an SAT word I never thought I'd see again. Weirdly, I always thought it meant to scam/upsell someone. Or maybe that's just the context it's usually used in?

It was pretty obnoxious because the bleach stuff was a reference to Trump, or at least the media's reporting after taking him wildly out of context.

(He was talking about different proposals to treating Covid presented to him by different medical groups and companies)
Which lead to some people treating Covid using household cleaning products with obvious results.

Especially since you can’t find one single instance of someone intentionally doing it during the lockdowns that isn’t bullshit Reddit hearsay. There was a semi-famous news story about a man who drank fish tank cleaner because Trump told him to. That man was Gary Lenius, whose wife most likely poisoned him. Also, he and she were pro-Hillary. Funny, that.

So what you're saying is the narrator of the story's father was such a mouthbreather that he poisoned himself, and the narrator himself is also a tard because why else would a six-year-old having nightmares just stand there and stare at his mother's sleeping face hoping she would wake up instead of just crawling into the covers like every normal child? No wonder he entered into a cave and just kept going inside until it crushed him. Literally too dumb to live just like his dad.

And we're supposed to be terrified of this nuclear analogy.

Sometimes kids do this. Yes, it's retarded, but they're kids.

Add in a less than friendly household and I can see a kid struggling between the fear of just going back to their room where the ominous coat of doom is hanging by the slightly open closet door and the fear of waking up a grumpy parent and dealing with those consequences instead.

I did this, but I remember my logic and it doesn't really seem ridiculous to me thirty years later. I'd wake up scared, run to my parents' room. I didn't want to wake them up because I was embarrassed from being scared of nothing, so I just stood there til I calmed down. If something did somehow happen in spite of nothing actually being wrong I could scream for help and they'd be right there to protect me which really helped me calm down. Once I felt better I'd go back to sleep

I liked it.

Does Wendi unironically believe this bullshit about the testers refusing to play the level or not firing a shot regarding No Russian?

Call me cynical but that sounds fake and gay. You've played hundreds of hours of war games. You've blown limbs off. You've knifed fuckers in the throat. You listened to enemies scream in pain and call out for mommy. But killing some civies in an airport was the come to Jesus moment for half the testers? Fuck off.
I believe the Mortal Kombat devs more when they said they got PTSD from having to look at a bunch of gore to make the fatalities.

Video is interesting, however, and it's giving me some wicked nostalgia even though I was never a CoD kid.

It was good mainly due to being a postmorterm of that beast of a video. But the thumbnail is absolutely bullshit and it takes forever for wendigoon to reach the point of the USA military cooperating with FPS devs to make people consider military life. Which yeah it happened, but it's just normal ass advertisement rather than a "psyop". Standard case of millennials using extreme terms for bitch simple things.

Wonder if it even worked since I don't think pro players like Wings of Redemption are marine materials.

Yeah it was always exaggerated to dramatic effect with every "controversial" release back then. Just a lot of hypocrisy by moral guardians for something that is insanely tame for anyone with slightest bit of media literacy.

I knew at least 5 people personally who it absolutely worked on. Not saying shit like CoD was the sole reason they enlisted, but it was definitely a huge push. Worked better than those "army strong/the few, the proud" commercials did, that's for sure.
