You have to have a very high IQ to understand Neutral Milk Hotel

    By u/See_Em, its the Rick and Morty copypasta but changed to Neutral Milk Hotel the indie band.

    To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Neutral Milk Hotel. The musical talent is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical music, most of the nuances will go over a typical listener’s head. There’s also Mangum’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterization- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these lyrics, to realize that they’re not just pleasing- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Neutral Milk Hotel truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Mangum’s existential catchphrase “Semen stains the mountain tops,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev’s Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Mangum’s genius wit unfolds itself on their iphones. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂
    
    And yes, by the way, i DO have a Neutral Milk Hotel tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎

      It has been 2 hours without skyblock.

        By u/lokey04, its a variation of the ‘It’s been <X> hours without <game>‘ but changed to Hypixel Skyblock.

        It has been 2 hours without skyblock.
        
        Two. Entire. Hours. I don’t know who I am anymore. I open my inventory out of muscle memory and THERE IS NO INVENTORY. I try to warp to my island IRL. IT DOESN’T WORK. I checked the forums 47 times. Refresh. Refresh. Refresh. “Maintenance ongoing.” ONGOING?? MY SLIME Minions NEED ME.
        
        I can feel my purse evaporating in my imagination. My bazaar orders are probably half-filled and I can’t even cancel them. The economy is collapsing and it’s MY FAULT because I’m not online.
        
        I tried doing something else. It didn’t work. I stared at a wall and thought about gemstone routes. I closed my eyes and saw dungeon rooms. I am calculating my skill XP loss PER MINUTE of downtime. This maintenance has set me back at least 0.003% efficiency and I will NEVER recover.
        
        People keep telling me “go outside.” OUTSIDE DOESN’T HAVE MAGIC FIND. Outside doesn’t have pets. Outside doesn’t even have a hex menu. What am I supposed to do, WALK, without max speed and Young Dragon Armor? Disgusting.
        
        If SkyBlock doesn’t come back soon I might start manually tracking my minion profits in a spreadsheet just to feel something. I am shaking. I am unwell. I am a husk of a person without this game . Hypixel please. PLEASE. I will forgive the ping. I will forgive the tps.
        
        Just let me back in.

          Limbo was actually based on a true story. In 1927 a man named Lim Bao was captured in the chinese civil war, and was convicted to serve as a locksmith for the entirety of his life. People hated him so much that he eventually began to color and purposefully ruin the keys he has made, forcing people to guess which key is the one that actually works.

            It’s come to my attention that people may have “takes” on a show I like. And to my professional dissatisfaction (as in, I am professionally, perpetually dissatisfied), I can’t help but be agog at your slack-jawed stupidity. Do you not think before you post? Are you incapable of looking up from your phones to comprehend what’s happening on screen? This simply cannot stand anymore, and so I must make one. A stand, I mean.
            
            You, yes, YOU. You lack media literacy. It’s endemic to our TikTok brainrot culture, sure, but you need to step up and accept your part in it. That take you think you have? Don’t even bother engaging in good faith with it. It’s just wrong, you’re wrong for having it. Have you tried reading a book? “B-O-O-K,” BOOK. Or if not that, perhaps you could watch something other than your typical shonen to help you with that mold clogging up your cognitive capabilities. Try something that makes you think next time. Like Chainsaw Man.
            
            I might hear you say “oh, but we should at least talk things out and have good-natured debate”, but have you considered that you’re dumb? Why should I lower myself to your level when I can call you dumb? But I’m not actually calling you dumb, see, don’t get mad. I’m calling you media illiterate. That makes me sound smart. Me smart, you dumb. Get it, caveman?
            
            So don’t even bother posting any of your takes, your shipping ideas, your critiques, your fan remakes. I, and everyone who agrees with me, have media literacy. So go educate yourself on some culture before you deign to stink up my Hazbin Hotel subreddit.
            

            I’m sick of Viator. I try to play Olberic. My Viator deals more damage.

              Its the Xiangling copypasta but changed to Viator from Octopath Traveler.

              I can't take it anymore. I'm sick of Viator. I try to play Olberic. My Viator deals more damage. I try to play Sazantos. My Viator deals more damage. I try to play El. My Viator deals more damage. I want to play Celcus. He can't stack sidestep as fast. I want to play Saoirse, Pius. They both support Viator.
              
              He grabs me by the throat. I farm for him. I cook for him. I give him the Forbidden Blade. He isn't satisfied. I obtain the Storm Blade. "I don't need this much Physical Defense" he tells me. "Give me more Parry Stacks." He grabs Saoirse and forces her to fill his ultimate. "You just need to buff me more. I can deal more damage with Surpassing Power."
              
              I can't give him Surpassing Power, I don't have enough JP. He grabs my Save Data boni. I only have the Cait statue. "Guess this is the end." He grabs his sword. He says "Flowing water can't be tracked." There is no hint of sadness in his eyes. Nothing but pure, 3×Nullify Physical Damage. What a cruel world.
