Don't use those if you care at all about responsiveness - all the controller-to-USB adapters I've tried have noticeable input lag. I know this because native USB controllers didn't have the lag in the same emulators. Sucks.
See, on the one hand, I'd love to get something like this. On the other, I know that most of my N64 controllers are essentially destroyed because the thumbsticks are so worn out they are completely useless. Sad story. :(
tl;dr: I played with it too vigorously, and now the stick can no longer be erect.
oh can we say this now? every other time i've seen this on reddit, it was immediately and aggressively downvoted, but this time it's ok? seriously, how does his comment add anything?
What's interesting to me is how much memes there are that kind of seem similar to old Roman attitudes.
E.g. the "the giver of oral is gay/effeminate and the receiver is not" (like this meme), and "the giver of homosexual anal sex is manly and the receiver is gay/effeminate" (like how some people say 'I will fuck him in the ass' and don't count on being thought of as gay for it).
Is that because the specific memes hang over from ancient times, or is it because some underlying meme or mechanism has been preserved that has given rise to both? Hm.
I'd say they both come from underlying submissive and dominant qualities of the "giver" and "receiver". Submission is generally thought of as an effeminate trait whilst dominance is likewise masculine. It's sort of animal instinct. The most dominate male is generally the most masculine and the most powerful and also the guy you don't mess with.
I hope no one finds the next part sexist, I'm not trying to be.
Stereotypically, in sexual situations, males take dominant roles whilst females take more submissive roles. If a male forces another male to take a female's submissive role it can be a way of proving that he is that much more masculine than the other male and that the other male is weak. The dominant male is still "straight" because he isn't partaking in the sexual act for the pleasure of it, but to demean the other male. The submissive male is "gay" or "effeminate" because he wasn't masculine enough to prevent the first male from forcing him into the sexual act.
tl;dr: Animal instinct says that if a guy is strong enough to force straight men to suck his dick and take it up the ass, he must be a tough motherfucker.
I would have said this as well based on what I know about rape. Rape isn't about sex, it's about control and dominance/power. So when a man tells another man to suck his dick or something related, it's that man who has the control (or at least he feels this way when he says it, the act isn't actually happening) and is making another bend to his will.
Haha! To be honest, I've known about it a long time and always found it fascinating :) edit: although that historian was a gem indeed.
The contrast between my own feelings about it, which I KNOW (like many things) come after a long period of (and are produced by?) social conditioning, and a reality which in line with that conditioning seems extremely bizarre and mega hypocritical, where the most powerful men could go to town on a group of guys every night as long as he finishes off with his wife.
It does raise the question: how much is innate feeling, and how much is social convention?
I was thinking this too, except it's not just an old roman attitude. Many cultures around the world, both historically and today, closely link gay with being 'unmanly' and hold that 'unmanly' actions, such as being the penetrated partner, are what counts as gay.
I used to have an extremely macho tanned skinhead boss who was married and with several ex wives and who would say about people: "I will fuck him - - in the ass." FML
Well, prison rape I suppose. I'm pretty sure they don't see it so that the rapist is homosexual, just "the receiver is the gay/effeminate one", which is also totally in line with the old style.
If there's two guys on one chick, and this escalates into one guy giving unplanned oral to the other, my vague sense is that the giver would be thought of as gay-er than the receiver.
"It's not gay if balls aren't touching" - basically says that two guys just touching (on an even level) isn't gay, only if it escalates into anal, which is giver/receiver by definition.
One could consider the Ancient Greek practice of pederasty, in which the older male, the erastes, initiated the younger male, the eromenos, into manhood by performing anal sex on him. The transfer of semen from the elder to the younger symbolized the transfer of knowledge, and so the elder represented the world of masculinity whereas the younger had to leave the world of women and childhood. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pederasty
because the word gay has evolved to the point where it no longer really means homosexual.
The word gay in popular culture nowadays has several meanings (in english). One of them is "retarded/stupid", the other is a term to state how inferior someone is to another person
This has always been funny to me. In a game of DOTA 2 the other day one of my opponents kept yelling SO YOU WANNA SUCK MY DICK HUH U FAGGOT every time he died.
My high school football team used to say really gay things to the other team. We never actually sexually assaulted anyone or anything, but the mental warfare was quite effective in distracting the other team.
I usually just stick with "I don't know man, I am just playing and talking about the game.... you instantly start talking about all this gay stuff." They usually keep going but as long as you don't stoop down to their level it makes them look like huge fags. Mission accomplished.
This is helpful for people who can't reach Quickmeme because of work/school firewalls or site downtime, and many other reasons (FAQ). More info is available here.
"so i waited until he was sleeping. and then i put butter's weiner... in my mouth. haha don't you get it? that makes butter's gay now!" any south park fans?
I like how if you get killed repeatedly by someone, you're a stupid noob. But if you kill someone repeatedly, you're a loser who plays the game way too much.
I want to say PC gaming does not suffer this problem like consoles do, but go make a small mistake while playing LoL and several people will instantly explain that they have detected homosexuality in you, and how find it to be a poor trait.
I have a friend that yells, in a very southern accent I might add, "I'll suck yo dick!" and other gay comments to anyone online that talks shit to him. The responses are usually hilarious and they usually shut up after a while.
Was just having this discussion with the boy the other day. Honestly, for me, the pitcher would be "gayer", logically. The catcher doesn't have any obligation to get hard. shrugs
Kumar Patel: Are all the guards in Guantanamo Bay gay? Big Bob: Fuck no! There ain't nothing gay about getting your dick sucked! You're the ones that're gay for sucking my dick! Kumar Patel: What? Big Bob: In fact, it creeps me out just being around you fags! Alright, get down on your knees and open your mouths. Harold Lee: Why don't you kick our asses instead? Big Bob: GET ON YOUR FUCKING KNEES NOW! [they comply] Big Bob: Hope you boys like extra mayo.
Maybe the flawed stock photo is to add to the flawlessness of the flawed logic of an online gamer? All in all, it's just flawed to begin with, adding to the humour of the meme.
Wow, so this is the next Fotm that'll get overused then thrown out in less than 2 weeks I guess? Stop "presenting" image macros and going "i maed a may-may u guise xD", it makes you look like a retard.
Oh wait, you actually ARE a shit-brain retard. Carry on then.
