Having participated in the epic Mac vs. PC flame wars of the 90s and 00s I’m upset us Mac users never came up with Microslop.

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

Probably because Mac marketers never thought of it. Their whole marketing strategy during the 90s wasn't even about what Macs or PCs could do but that cool people liked Macs and only middle aged business men liked PCs. Despite most of the games that weren't on both platforms being on the PC side and Macs being the overpriced underperforming one (which IMO is the opposite of cool).

I’m pretty sure Apple’s marketing team didn’t come up with “Micro$oft” more than a decade before the first ads with Hoffman and Justin Long in them.

That one was just as popular with windows users back in the day, or at least the groups I ran with.

I might make Microslop Winslop 13, making fun of the AI hype cycle.

No, but we did have a cross platform PC game about it:

I always used to say that Gates named the company after his dick.

Never heard of that. It's not exactly a difficult joke to make and I'm sure I'm not the only one to ever come up with it.

clearly true with all the time he spent on that island with those children.
