Why were 4channers mad about the "cake is a lie" shit back then? The cake WAS a lie after all.
>>721082172we don't like normalfaggots being in on our jokes.
>>721082172Popularity is like kyrptonite to 4chan.
>>721082341excellently put
>>721082172But there was a cake at the end of the game, so it wasn’t a lie
>>721082172And bing bing wahoo but you ain't seeing me spray that shit on the wall
>>721082172Real nerds get offput when something gets popular with normies. I was a die hard jojo fan back when there was only the part 1 and 2 anime and would recommend the manga to people all the time. As soon as 3 and 4 got popular I got more and more annoyed at the ‘is that a jojo reference’ ‘enemy stand’ crap everywhere. Now I begrudgingly think it’s fine, I bet the part 7 anime is gonna kill the love I still had in my heart for 7.
>>721082172The cake isn’t a lie though. You’re given it in the ending.
because everything that gets popular goes to shit
>>721082172It's the same feeling as when your dad starts saying your phrases and terms.
>>721082172
>>721085117Nobody talks like this and if you do, you shouldn't be at parties.
>>721082172Portal was 18 years ago anon. It's time to let go.
I don't really get why people care how popular or unpopular something is.Is this like an Introverted Feeling thing?
Because it was a game made by known scammers who commit false advertising and fraud.Valve screwed over the Artifact fanbase by cancelling the Artifact 2.0 beta without even allowing users to invite friends like they said they would in January 2021 and does not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.
>>721085528Anon...Its time to let go...
>>721085373I finished Portal 1 for the first time this year
>>721085425It's an attack to someone's safe space, these people grew up outlasted and resorted to building their own haven made with "things for weirdos", so the moment they see normal people enjoy what they do their whole sand castle crumbles and they're left with nothing
>>721082172There was nothing wrong with bazinga either.
>>721086062Bazinga was cancer because it came from a legitimately cancerous show that only contributed to the already deterioriating pop culture
>>721082172It wasn't a lie thobeit
>>721082172it became the most insufferable quirkchungus thing possible
>>721085870To give some of 'em a benefit of a doubt there could be a risk of something being watered down, but a lot of obscure media is already not very intense anyways.I mean roguelikes as a term got kind of bastardized but there is still some actual roguelikes being made, ones that are quite frankly more fun than nethack or moria ever was.
>>7210858704chan has been the normiest shit since 2016 and Trump anyway.
>>721086179It's the same shit>>721087221This
>>721085373the fuck is happening with timeshit aint normal anymore
>>721085870So in other words it's a poor coping mechanism for trauma. Get therapy.
>>721082341Its like talking to one person or giving a speech,it's just a normal response for a group with social anxiety
>>721085870Story of my life.
the narwhal bacons at midnight
>>721087283Rift Wizard 2 is my GOTY
>>721087513There are no good therapists. I had one who laughed at me when I told him the true story, that my friends started claiming they were Jewish all along and they were getting a Portuguese passport then they betrayed me.
>>721087671Thanks, I stole them from the president
>>721087513I had another therapist who immediately took the side of the single mothers when I told her that I only attract single mothers.
>>721082172Shit was cringe as fuck since day 1.If you actually contributed to the heckin meme, then tell your bull I said hello.
Early 2010s really were the blackest coal imaginable. It was a time that laid the foundation for all the worst shit that we see today in every single regard, if you think about it
>>721082172it's gaslighting, you tell lies on the internet to make people think there's no cake, but then you play the game and suddenly there is cake and you feel swindled, flabergasted, maybe even bamboozled
>>721086179It’s funny how big that blew up considering they only said it for like a season but it was so cringe enough that it’s the only thing anyone remembers from it. (Used to have it on loop back in college on my laptop for just background noise)
>>721085117
>>721087937THIS IS SPARTA XD
>>721087137i always thought this cake looked fucking disgusting
>>721088248boo
>>721082172It stops being funny once the joke is overused. It's like the "I used to be an adventurer like you but then I took an arrow to the knee" line from Skyrim. It stops being funny once people start spouting it left and right for random shit like "I used to a fry cook like you but then I took an arrow to the knee" "I used to upload photos to Facebook but then I took an arrow to the knee" "I used to make Youtube comments but then I took an arrow to the knee". Shit quickly just becomes stale and obnoxious.
>>721088670To me stupid shit like this only gets funnier the more it gets repeated, especially if it doesn't make sense at all.
>>721082172The idea that a cake could be a lie was incredibly scary to fat 4channers and it threatened their whole lifestyle.
>>721088845sneed got a shitload of mileage for me because of this reasoning
>>721088670>>721088845The difference between millennial 4chan and zoomer 4chan I guess
>>721088670That arrow to the knee shit I think is why I still haven’t played Skyrim once. I got it on sale finally like a year ago but still haven’t opened it.
>>721088670>>721088985I used to laugh about taking an arrow to the knee, then I took an arrow to the knee
>At some party during a gaming convention.>Forced to go because all of the devs at the company had to go.>They have cake, know whats going to happen, feel sick knowing it will happen.>Finally get a slice.>THE CAKE IS A LIE!>Just act like I never heard it while people as old as I am "and I am a boomer at this point" laugh.I don't get it.>WHAT?! HOW COULD YOU NOT GET IT! ITS FROM PORTAL! Whats that?>HOW COULD YOU NOT KNOW WHAT PORTAL IS!I dont play facebook games, sorry.>Leave.
>>721088380the frosting is supposed to be chocolate isn't it?
>>721089007Yeah, it's always pretty cringe when a fantasy game references internet memes like that.
>>721089307We get it, you have autism and a lack of parental figure during your childhood years who would teach you how to feel comfortable around people who act like themselves instead of putting up a facade of superiority all the time
>>721090185>Thinking all those things are a negative.Still had more to do with the video game industry and making them then you have.
>>721088985cringe millenials also forced memes by repetition, thoughim literally 33 and going to kill myself but not today
>>721090448>not todayRepeating the joke, huh
>>721082763It was before GLaDoS went rogue.And Ratman wrote it because he was going mad
>>721088248I think the texture is leavesAlso the cherries look plastic
>>721090689You mean the cake... is a lie?!
>>721090359>being a societal outcast who slaved for a corpo is actually goodlol.lmao even.>Still had more to do with the video game industry and making them then you have.Why would I care about this? Do you think having a job is something special you retard? Or do you think that being a codemonkey for a game company is special?
>>721090185Jokes tend to get unfunny if you are exposed to them a lot. If you're online a lot, you encountered "the cake is a lie" and "arrow to the knee" bits constantly and got tired of it. By the time normal people learn the bit, you've already grown to hate it by overexposure. The normies got tired of those bits later on, it's hardly about superiority.
>>721082172The cake is a lie has some kind of scientific anecdote that I forgot about. While 4chan might have understood that anecdote and hence understood the joke a lot of people didn't. Those 'lot of people' would then mindlessly repeat the joke and this is what 4chan would call a cancer. A cell replicating itself without knowing why.
>>721090860Just give them a smile to acknowledge that you get what theyre talking about but its not something you find hugely hilarious and dont act like a sperg?
>>721090891People were already saying THE CAKE IS A LIE before anyone knew what it meant because it was in the ARG they used to tease the game.
>>721090891The meaning is inherently obvious, it's like saying "Jesus lies about suffering"
>>721082172The joke was pretty lame to begin with and it quickly became overdone piece of lol so random millennial humour people cringe at.
>>721091053who said anything about the correct response, just saying superiority complexes aren't the root of the frustration.
>>721091312>just saying superiority complexes aren't the root of the frustrationIn his case it is, pair up his comment with his reaction image and you can clearly see he's guided by a superiority complex.
>>721090803not that fag but your attempts to put him down showcase perfectly how trannies are shitting up your games and getting away with it>heh, actually working in the videogames industry??? couldn't be me! i make myself heard with my wallet! i matter!
>>721085117When was the last time you went to a party where there was just cake sitting out for you to take as much as you like of?
>>721082172Because only the gaiafags of vidya would say "the cake is a lie" shit. Understand?
>>721091606>not buying games made by trannies doesnt make a difference>working for companies filled to the brim with trannies and clearly being the outsider doesgenuine retard take
>>721089632No, black forest is made with chocolate shavings. It's just that the in-game model looks like chocolate frosting.
