    I am referring to one of the preset messages in Mario Kart 8, as to tell people how I really feel about them after getting blue shelled/lighting'd/bullet billed back to back

    It means so many things all at the same time

    I wonder if anyone has ever used the Mario Kart 8 chat things in a sincere fashion.
    After enough shell-based carnage even 'Hello!' starts to feel like mockery.

    You're supposed to use them to mean what you say? I though "That was fun!" meant "I will murder you next time." I've been using them wrong all this time.

    I've never used the Wii remote strap

    I substitute it with having a good grip

    Yes it did, the Wii came with a wrist strap

    The Wii remote jacket did not come with it

    I've taken to asking "Why?!" whenever somebody on my team shoots me in Counter-Strike Global Offensive. They usually don't have a satisfactory answer.

    Haha, I can only assume that was the intended function. I tend to avoid using them just because even if I mean them literally even I cannot help but read them as intensely sarcastic.

    My recent go-tos:

    "Oh, fuck off, you cross-footed duck."

    (after clearing a challenging room full of challenging enemies)

    "I just blacked out. What happened."

    (while playing through a challenging room full of challenging enemies, usually flailing about in an unskilled and potentially hazardous manner)

    "YOU CAN SUCK IT. YOU CAN SUCK IT ALSO. YOU DO NOT GET TO SUCK IT."

    *grunts of varying degrees, some can be vaguely sexual*

    "HIYYYYYYYYYY!"

    (During confusing cut-scenes where I'm trying to suss out plot)

    "Who the fuck is that. Why the fuck did they say. What the fuck did they say. Where the fuck are we going? Why the fuck are we going there? Is that a cliff? They're going to throw me off the cliff, aren't they. Godammit, they threw me off the cliff."

    I'll try and pay more attention to what I'm saying and contribute more of my moribund wisdom to this thread.

    Yeah, on the rare occasion that I do play casual I fully encourage people to throw incendiary devices in my path. I want to look cool jumping through the flames.

    I'm constantly typing out, "rekt" when I kill people or get killed in games. Either people get all butthurt about it which is great for me, or they roll with it and we have a good time with friendly shit talking and goofing around which is great for everybody.

    Oh I do know of one I do actually. Well, kind of.

    I don't have a microphone so when I play Payday 2 I can only communicate through typing. This isn't exactly ideal but since I only play with a friend of mine and we both know what to do in missions we manage. Except when one of us gets grabbed by a Cloaker, which is when we need immediate assistance and so they know when they come to revive us that he might be around still. So we type out "Cloaker" in the chat.

    I tried to type too quickly one time and accidentally wrote "Casdo" instead. So now that's his name, and I write it like that each time. Casdo the Cloaker.

    I remember once me and the GF at the time, ate a few too many special brownies, and we couldn't beat the first level of Mario 1 after 2 hours of attempts, but pretty sure our only reaction was uncontrollable laughter

    oddly enough this describes the actual development process for Super Mario Bros.

    my go-to curse for things gone awry on the internet was motherFUCKER until I decided to cut all gendered swears and insults out of my vocabulary

    now I'm liable to just call someone whatever I last ate

    SPOTTED DICK!

    Marmite!

    The last one is also an appropriate reaction to accidentally eating marmite.

    It is the incest implications of motherfucker that makes it rude, not gender.

    Maybe it is worthy of exemption from the no gendered insult rule?
