ok so
ive been thinking about this for a while but how exactly the fuck does this whole belief to god system work here anyway
i mean we have gods here that nobody except ancient history nerd basement cultists should be worshipping
riding high when some of the big names are spectacular only in their absence
and then theres the question of what bar you have to pass to be considered a god
like where the fuck are our incarnations of the flying spaghetti monster and ceiling cat
or less tragically dated memes
come on people they have religious texts too

[He's been relearning meme culture since he rediscovered it, someone stop him.]

i guess im not that faithful a person because the whole thing seems like grade a spun bullshit to me
but maybe someone can make more sense out of this most gordian of knots

discuss

[redotiertwo]

fuck yes
lets get this tragic outdated meme game rolling
memes for the meme god

[very_goodman]

I'd be okay with being a shinki for doge

[redotiertwo]

im all for doge attaining godhood but i personally would have to pass on being his shinki
occupational hazards of being a bird
half a bird
whatever

[very_goodman]

Yeah, I guess so. Are there any good bird memes?

[redotiertwo]

theres always the classic

[very_goodman]

Oh man, how did I forget that one? Yeah, that seems good.

[redotiertwo]

this presents a whole new conundrum though
meme shinki
when a meme dies does its memetic soul ascend or do you have to wait on like
the subject of the image macro to die and ascend whereupon they become the meme eternal

fuck would they even remember being a meme
shinki problems

[very_goodman]

Deep questions, man. I dunno. Maybe you and I are meme shinki!

[redotiertwo]

the real memes were the friends we made along the way
this conversation is getting into some serious philosophical waters here

[very_goodman]

Yeah. I feel like not enough people appreciate everything the Internet has to offer.

[redotiertwo]

its shameful isnt it
the deepest depths of the internet are like pandoras box
you might be unleashing all kinds of horrible shit if you open it up but theres also kitten livestreams

[very_goodman]

Yup. Just gotta know where to look. It's like hunting for buried treasure.

[redotiertwo]

maybe not buried treasure but like
hidden in an ancient trap filled cave system of death

[very_goodman]

Yeah, you know. Either way works.

[redotiertwo]

actually you know what else would work hells of good for this metaphor
those asshole treasure chests that try to bite you when you open them and you cant tell whether theyre like that or not until theyre already hanging off your arm

[very_goodman]

Hey, yeah! Like in those old video games, right?

[redotiertwo]

exactly like those
man how long has it even been since a game used those in all seriousness

[very_goodman]

Man, I couldn't even tell ya. All the games these days just have zombies and jump scares.

[He says, as if he can remember anything else.]

[redotiertwo]

yeah shake that cane
get those newfangled survival horror games off your lawn

so anyway jump scares arent the best point to use when were talking about biting treasure chests

[very_goodman]

You don't think so? They were meant to surprise people, after all.

[redotiertwo]

i know that was what i was getting at
talking about how new games are nothing but jump scares when were discussing an old game staple which is also a jump scare
with those nostalgia glasses on so firmly that we dont notice its the same exact thing

[very_goodman]

Yeah, that's what I'm sayin'! The classics do it so much better.

[redotiertwo]

oh man you do have a serious case of the nostalgia goggles
i mean obviously modern gaming is shit for a variety of reasons but so was retro
theyre just different reasons and now the retro ones feel familiar and endearing to us instead of
you know
shitty

[very_goodman]

I guess so. Maybe I oughta go to the arcade sometime and see what the new stuff is all about. Give it a fair shake, y'know?
