Good old times.

I could've created the parody OSS license "Programmers of Ni License", nowadays some people would like to expand that word to the hard-R N-word, with an 80+% chance that those people's account are littered with actual nazi shit, not just "liking edgy jokes".

Ah, trying to bring back old nerdus obnoxious, eh?

You’ll also want to become a hippie parent for accuracy

Extinct??!?

We're not dead yet, just old!

I dunno. I grew up on He-Man, Transformers and G.I. Joe, and I think I turned out OK. I suppose I also grew up on Labyrinth, The Dark Crystal, and The Neverending Story, which may have been just as formative in my nerdiness and are leagues ahead of those first three in terms of quality.

I grew up on all of those exact same things and I’m not a nerd, so it’s basically a crapshoot anyhoot.

It’s funny. I’m definitely a nerd and neuro-something-or-other, and I have really good friends who are into all this stuff, Linux, Terry Pratchett etc - all of it - but I absolutely bounced off this smug nerd culture and grind my teeth if a group all start yelling “Ni!” or make me listen to the “hilarious” Portal song. Possibly I’m just trying too hard to be an arch, diffident outsider, this is my tribe, and I’m just the tribe jerk.

I feel you. I often hate things because too many people annoy me by liking them too much but ya know that's nebulous and stupid. As I've gotten older I've just kinda stopped letting that happen and try to give things a chance

I would recommend introducin the son to a literal lemon in real life prior to playing Portal 2.

... probably goes the same for a p0taTo.

Make sure it's not a lemon party.

That's why you introduce LOTR before Portal 2 -

PO-TAY-TOES: Boil 'em, Mash 'em, Stick 'em in a stew.

This is the ritual to create a Tom Scott.
