Chug your gamer juice

It's honest work, gaming is.

For certain generations, Minecraft is a foundational part of childhood. Akin to learning to ride a bike or losing your first tooth, everyone remembers the first time they encountered a creeper. It's a bit hard to describe to older and younger audiences the initial phenomenon that was Minecraft . Think of it as you would Pokemon, Fortnite, or Roblox. Things that have dominated the lives and cultures of young people. Personally, Minecraft was the de facto franchise for my generation. I spent my m…

In what I thought was one of the top ten most profitable franchises of all time, but turns out to be THE most profitable franchise of all time, it’s more than safe to say that we all have been exposed to Pokemon in one way or another. And that’s great! I imagine there’s a lot my current self and my 8-year-old self would disagree on, but I can say we’d get along concerning Pokemon. It’s fun, it’s addictive, and, once you separate yourself from the idea that the core concept of Pokemon is making…

Here we go again, back at it with another steaming hot plate of memes for your consumption. It must be so nice to have delicious memes provided to you every night without effort on your part. Some people in this world slave away, looking for memes far and wide to feel their ever-growing families. When I was a boy, I used to walk 20 miles uphill and back in the snow to get to school. What does that have to do with memes you might ask? Absolutely nothing, but I just wanted to rub it in that your…

Do nostalgic posts about your childhood in the 90s and early 2000s send you into a existential panic, but in a fun way? Well, then have I got the memes for you. TikTok videos exalting classroom Christmas parties from our childhoods are the most emotionally crushing of recent nostalgia posts. They feature a wistful rendition of “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” in the background, featuring old images of kids watching the Poler Express, playing in the snow, and just generally celebrating t…

I wanna be the very best, like no one ever was

I don't believe in the divine rights of kings, but I do believe in the divine rights of memes.

I’ll say it; otakus and weebs deserve respect. I may not technically be a weeb, but I’ve always respected the rights of weebs to hang out in the Manga section at Barens and Noble. They should be able to wear schoolgirl outfits in public without getting laughed at and ridiculed out of the Barnes and Noble bathroom. I respect weebs who do not want to even show their face in a Barnes and Noble and prefer the likes of independently owned book retailers. Luckily, we seem to be entering a golden age…

He truly recognizes the gravity of what he's been gifted, as he should.

We are living in the golden age of the anime fandom. Long past are the days of weebs being bullied and degraded for their interests in anime series and movies. Now, even the most normal normie has seen at least one piece of anime IP. I went to a high school in Texas that was utterly obsessed with athletic achievement, and even there, most of the guys on the football team watched anime. If you're a weeb, you should hold your head high: Cosplay in public, brandish your favorite characters on your…

I was never a person of the horse girl experience. That might come as a surprise because I grew up in Texas and everybody know that kids in Texas ride horses and cattle to school. But alas, I could never muster the earnestness and sensitivity that lives inside the heart of every horse girl. Horse girls are a social category that extends through the generations. Every one of us, no matter our age, definitely went to elementary school with a girl who loved horses and could not properly socialize…

Memes are one of those things that are easy to accept into your heart. Whether hilarious, disgusting, life-affirming, or otherwise, memes come and go so quickly, making them a ubiquitous part of our everyday lives. You might see a meme one day and never see it again as long as you live. On the other hand, some memes stay with you forever and ever despite your desire to let them evaporate into the annals of your subconsciousness, never to be seen again. One of the best things about memes is that…

Random tweets, games, bumper stickers, anime, your toddler, etc.—sometimes you just get smacked in the face with words when you least expected it.

Not every Pokémon item is worth a lot of money, so why not update it with a little unique artistic creativity? Pokémon fans on TikTok seem to be loving it!
