I’m not old, I’m “collectible”!

That just means no one will ever take you out of your packaging and play with you.

Exactly my thought on Bush/Obama hybrid

Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world on 08 Apr 02:09 collapse

Holy shit…you know what this means, right? It means Obama and Bush TOTALLY fucked!

And based on how old he is, it was probably sometime in the 60s…which I assume would make both Obama and Bush children at the time…

…ok, I don’t like my brain now.

I was with you during the first half but wtf happened at the end?

Kaliax@lemmy.sdf.org on 07 Apr 23:47 next collapse

This is pure joy.

TrojanRoomCoffeePot@lemmy.world on 08 Apr 03:26 collapse

I audibly laughed hard, this is so amazing.

I was reincarnated in another world as an ojisan summoner.

just watched Mike Myers’ “Middle Aged Man” from his snl years, got confused for a little when i read the title

JackLSauce@lemmy.world on 08 Apr 01:19 next collapse

I’d be thrilled to be considered “middle aged” at 81

dan69@lemmy.world on 08 Apr 01:27 next collapse

Just u wait till someone pulls out the Satoshi The Forbidden One

straightjorkin@lemmy.world on 08 Apr 01:37 next collapse

Okay so did they go viral or are they just popular in this one small town? Word mean things

inconel@lemmy.ca on 08 Apr 01:58 next collapse

They’re viral in the town bcs its real person the local knew in the first place. Your neighbors turning into cards and have whatever TCG spell is just hilarious for them

Zahille7@lemmy.world on 08 Apr 03:02 collapse

That’s kinda fun.

My city a few years ago did playing cards with local restaurants on them

Pedantic is a word.

Also, your criticism of the author’s words would have carried more weight if you had pluralized correctly.

So wholesome.

SkybreakerEngineer@lemmy.world on 08 Apr 01:50 next collapse

Wasn’t this an actual mechanic in some Yakuza game?

reksas@sopuli.xyz on 09 Apr 10:53 collapse

ah yes, the sujimon. that fun surprise when not expecting it at all

tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip on 08 Apr 02:18 next collapse

Reminds me of divorceddads.shop

Zahille7@lemmy.world on 08 Apr 03:01 collapse

No fucking way he actually made a real card game for it

SkyezOpen@lemmy.world on 08 Apr 03:29 collapse

Last I saw they were selling the fake textless cards, but God damn they went and did it for reals. Looks like a fusion of magic and yugioh.

kelpie_returns@lemmy.world on 08 Apr 02:56 next collapse

This is such a fun and clever way to strengthen inter-generational community. I would love to see something like this where I live!
