Memes make the world go 'round

FromSoftware's wildly popular action RPG Elden Ring has been out for several months. The post-traumatic Elden Ring stress might have worn off by now, so we thought we might round up another batch of funny and relatable memes to remind the fans just how much they miss dying hundreds of times in a row until the wee hours of the morning. Maybe these memes will even inspire you to start up a new game with a totally different build this time around. Enter, tarnished. Traverse the mist for memes.

Have you ever heard the theory that the United States is like a melting pot, with various cultures coming together and amalgamating into one uniquely American culture? Despite that talking point's prominence, America as a melting pot is quite a misnomer because cultures don't just bleed into each other. Cultural practices don't become an indistinguishable goo similar to that of cheese fondue just because they exist in close proximity to each other. Instead of the melting pot theory, other socio…

Memes unwrapped

Ever get hangxiety? Well, let me tell you, it's not fun. As someone who already struggles with anxiety and depression, having a couple too many drinks can absolutely ruin the following day - maybe even the next two days. When anxiety strikes, it's hard to be your best self. You can become self-absorbed, going over all the worst case scenarios that life might throw your way. The thing is, when you obsess over hypothetical problems, it often becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Dreading that netwo…

Fallout: New Vegas was released over a decade ago, and yet fans of the iconic game still keep their copies around for a rainy day—it's just that solid. Is Fallout: New Vegas the best game in the series? This question has been up for debate for quite a while. While Fallout 4 is the more popular game today and still shows up on Steam's top 100 by player count list, there's something special about New Vegas that makes it the undoubtable fan favorite. Maybe it's because the lore feels so much deepe…

I love birdwatching. And it seems like that love is shared with an increasing amount of people. Birdwatching has actually become the the fastest growing hobby in the United States. In 2011 there were just over 45 thousand birdwatchers in the country. That number is absolutely dwarfed by the 2020 statistics, which reveal that there were 15.23 million birders making themselves known. A staggering increase. It's understandable that the pastime would see a resurgence. During the darkest days of the…

This world is hard on silly memes . Memes filled with a joyous whimsy. Nothing in this world is harder than being a goofy and fun-loving meme. Actually, that's a lie. Though this world is hard on silly men (men filled with a joyous whimsy. Truly, nothing is hard than being a goofy and fun-loving man, ect) silly memes are actually quite common. Even memes that have a depressing edge are still rooted in humor. In some ways, making a hardcore meme is still inherently silly and goofy because you're…

Thanks in advance for keeping a hefty distance

Let the fun begin

Negative stereotypes stalk Dungeons & Dragons players like a Dracolich that just won't die. But diehard DnD fans don't let it bother them, because while all the normies are tweeting pictures of what they ate at brunch or whatever it is they do to entertain themselves, DnD players are building beautiful worlds, lifelong friendships, and meaningful memories through the magic of gaming. So the next time someone calls you a loser for simply enjoying something, don't let it get you down. In fact, yo…

Happy Friday, friends and enemies. If you have been feeling anything like I am, then life must be feeling a whole lot like groundhog day. As I've sworn off many of my vices since the pandemic's start, every day just seems…the same. Even our beloved Fridays. Welcoming chaos into my life, whether in the form of alcohol, drugs, or dating, seems to have had a purpose: staving off boredom. As I struggle with the sameness of existence, and another shitty day at my shitty job, I must take comfort in t…

Spanish singer Rosalia went viral on Twitter this week for her exaggerated expressions while performing her song "Bizcochito." Multiple videos have raised of her in different outfits doing the same movement, appearing to be miming chewing gum. The goofy videos have gotten the meme treatment so much that nobody can seem to get Rosalia off of their Twitter feed. If you'd like to consume all of your Rosalia memes in one concentrated gulp, then you've come to the right place.
