Heh, I remember like all of the stuff in this video
Except for the whole abbreviation of the name to just "Disney", that slipped my mind; I do remember knowing the primary programming block as Zoog Disney, though
Looking at it from a modern perspective, I really like the old promotional package from when I was properly part of the channel's audience (seen here and here)
I never gave it a second thought until it got replaced by the ribbon look from '08 or so
You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
I'm surprised nobody's made a Metro version of XBMC yet
That seems like one of very few apps that would actually translate well to that kind of interface

Heh.
I've said all along that I don't mind Metro in the proper context (touchscreen devices), but resent that it's being forced upon me in contexts it clearly isn't optimized for

I can imagine.
Which just makes Windows 8.x all the more bizarre...it's this bizarre mish-mash where you have to deal with touchscreen-optimized stuff even when you're using a mouse and mouse-optimized stuff even when you're using a touchscreen.
By trying to do both at once, they've managed to do neither successfully. :\
Overused internet memes? No-- I can't-- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
(melts into a pile of bubbling purple moon sludge)
Also, yay fun with being unable to sleep :|
I'm reminded of the time the Homestuck fandom flipped their collective lid because Dirk's auto-responder made an "over 9000" joke. Completely ignoring the fact that "loves terrible stuff to the extent that you can't tell if he's ironic or sincere" is half of his characterization.
Naturally, Hussie responded by working an even dumber "over 9000" reference into a future conversation.
I found the ARquius callback to that joke genuinely funny, to be completely honest, at least partly because it was completely in character and actually called for.
I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
I've always found the bile people fling at old memes bizarre
On IJBM2, when UE explained that the site's favicon was a reference to "the cake is a lie", people acted like he had thrown a picture of a bleeding corpse up there or something
But then again I got tired of "arrow to the knee" ultra-fast, so
old memes are okay if they are old memes that never kind of got massive and are just old
the old memes that are, i would not say infuriating, but rather cringeworthy, are the ones where they got really massive and people with no cultural awareness or real sense of humour (beyond 'wow a meme!! this will be funny if i mention it at every conceivable opportunity.') picked up on them and ran them into the ground. that happened to cake is a lie. also happened to arrow to the knee, absurdly quickly. and "rage comics"
then they become sort of tainted by association, to add to the fact that usually by this point theyve already started to become boring (as all in jokes do after a while)
its like comic sans. it is not something inherent in it, but the many, many times it gets misused, overused, or used in plain stupid contexts.

you know as much as i have enjoyed ~getting into~ academia i think it has made me more prone to using 250 words where 25 will do
like i typed out a massive post about memes up there (lol why did i do that) and vash came along and basically said what i had posted in the space of one sentence
this post could also probably be made in about 7 words but lol i am gonna run it over at least three line breaks
I found the ARquius callback to that joke genuinely funny, to be completely honest, at least partly because it was completely in character and actually called for.
I really liked it too. Partly because the setup of the joke involved a reference to 2001: A Spade Odyssey. A quintessentially Homestuckian juxtaposition of highbrow and lowbrow.

And this is why Homestuck is basically a postmodernist novel with pictures and sometimes music.
Sometimes I feel like I have ruined comics for myself forever. Sometimes I will look at a normal comic, and think to myself, what the fuck are all these fucking panels doing on the same fucking page? SPREAD EM OUT DUDE! True story. It is my fond hope that I have ruined, or will ruin, comics for everyone else too. Scott McCloud wrote what I am sure is a pretty good book called Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art. One day I hope to write a book called Ruining Comics: Forever. It will be a 1000 page book, and every page will simply be a photograph of my face. — Andrew Hussie

Mixed feelings all around
But even then, Season 2 is taking so long that it feels like they've put it on the backburner aside from the shorts
It's a great show as well but it suffered the same problem GF did until it network hopped
Windows, doors, screens, paper, tables, keyboard keys, none of these have to be rectangular.
Break free from ninety degree angles!
