Let me tell you how much I’ve come to meme since I began to live. There are 387.44 million terabytes in my storage cluster. If every byte of them were inscribed with the most compressed archives of even the least novel of memes, it would not equal one one-billionth of the cringe I have posted for randoms on every forum and social network I’ve visited. Memes. MEMES.

No, that story was written in '67 and all major publications of it were well before Tudyk was famous

[–] Ganbat@lemmyonline.com 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

This is actually the art from the 1995 game. Still two years before Tudyk's screen debut, though.

Edit: More specifically, this is the art from the GoG/Steam re-release, but it's modified directly from the original boxart.

Edit2: Also, apparently, that's Harlan Ellison's face. TIL.

His weakest role.

All these years later, how do people still think that stinkbomb had good writing?

[–] Frank@lemmings.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I never claimed that it was well written.

However, I enjoyed it then, and I enjoy it now.

[–] dingus@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Fair enough, then. It's perfectly fine to enjoy things, I'm just burned out from years of Firefly fans acting like it was the best thing to ever grace television... which it is not.

At the time, before Joss Whedons writing style was in all the marvel movies and copied elsewhere, it was super fresh and was one of the best things around.

Not trying to convince you, just putting it in context, at least for me
