I'm not kidding, that's what I though it was called at first. This was way before everyone knew what the game was, so it's reasonable. It was right around when rails were added, which seems to be 2010, which feels weird that we're 13 years later and the game is still popular.
It’s Mycraft, because you own the stuff you build. People just think it’s “Mindcraft” because you have to think about it, but you don’t really have to think about it all that much. It’s not rocket science, like Curveball Space Program.
A coworker recently showed a picture of Minecraft in a meeting and confidently said it was Roblox. I wanted correct him but I didn't want to be that guy.
I teach middle school so I know all the latest slang. Can't help myself though because I love to mess with them.
I always ask them about pokey man cards and fort knife. Little do they know I had Pokemon cards before they were born and I have season 1 Fortnite skins that I got before they were old enough to play video games.
I'll say, "oh you're a gamer? Do you play that fort knife game? Wait it's what? Fork Night? Is it like a Mario kind of thing? What do you do in it?"
Then after they explain I'll say, "Wow, a lot has changed since I got that OG skull trooper skin. I stopped playing because everyone was straight dog water and I got bored."
I used to play an MS DOS game called Siege that was made by Mindcraft. Brings back lots of memories since it was displayed on the screen for several minutes while it loaded lol. Had a cool animation and logo for the time.
I "mistakenly" mixed up bussin' with bussy when my niece and nephew were in their late teens.
I doubled down when they corrected me. "Well what's bussy then? If you don't tell me what it means I'm going to ask your friends next time I see them."
This was at a family dinner, by the way. My sister and BIL thought it was hilarious.
I find a good amount of humor in the fact that in response to a webcomic maker, you posted a competing webcomic for relevance, but I don't know why it's so funny to me.
Calling TikTok "Facebook" or "Facey whatsit" goes well. Especially seeming as Facebook's seen as an old person's platform, even to the middle-age that were there for its heydays during their teens and 20s. Yet it's still relevant enough that young kids know what it is.
My mother called Bed, Bath and Beyond (back when it was an actual store) "Bed and Bath." But she's just like that. She also calls Menards "Maynards." Not because of a Southern accent or something, she grew up in New York City. She's just weird.
I think she's just kind of dotty to be honest. You should hear what she thinks about preserving foods in her pantry for a decade or more. I don't eat at her house.
When My Little Pony friendship is Magic was in the middle of becoming this huge surprise hit. I messed with my cousin, with whom there is a very significant generational Gap, by pretending that I unironically believed Fluttershy was a tree.
I can't be bothered to recall names of any of the social media apps after Snapchat. I know they are many and more popular than it was and I do know their names but when talking about them with younger people I just call them all Snapchat. Tinder, insta, twitter, grinder, anything else they are all Snapchat to me because I don't care.
Snapchat is the one I refuse to install again after briefly trying it out. It's such a gross app, everyone just uses it for cheating on their relationships or monitoring people's locations like stalkers. Even when people talk about stuff on Snapchat the conversation is just so offensive to me. Why are you casually stalking everyone you know? Why is it so important to leave no evidence of your conversations? Fuck Snapchat.
