As a recent convert. What the fuck are these names ? LET ME OPEN UP SCRUNGLE and use it to JINX my DOLPHIN. I get that they are trying to be witty but sometimes less is more.

You know, I have a soft spot for gen X nerd culture so it kind of warms my heart to see their legacy show up in open source software

Also sorry to any gen xers here for acting like you're dead. You know what I mean, yeah?

In all seriousness, I'm a bit young for much of it, but I know how to you feel. I feel like the idea of 'niche' has been destroyed lately. Everything is popular and nothing is unheard of. I miss having stuff that I and a few other dedicated people know about.

the corporatization of MTG deck names has been a travesty. You WILL NOT name combo decks after breakfast food, you WILL use guild or clan names for colors even though the strategy has nothing to do with ravnica. Your favorite plane will be new york city.

I prefer to imagine that there are irl scenes for various interests that never discuss scene matters on the internet, and I just don't know about them. It is heartening to think that perhaps I'm just not cool bloomer

You gotta get into woodworking or architecture, there's words nobody's ever heard of in there.

I had no idea how many chisels there were before I started watching hand woodworking videos on youtube
