Larry Bird trash talk is great because he looks like a total fucking dweebus and if he wasn't just streets ahead of everyone else there's no way he could've gotten away with it.
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

The worst is when it's like 88-92 F and rains for about 30 minutes then the sun comes out and microwaves everything.
That's some horse shit.
Where you step outside and it's like stepping into a lockeroom. The entire natural world is steaming in its own juices and it just smells like hot wet mulch everywhere. Bugs are having a field day making a shitload of noise, every buzzing call muddied by too-humid air.
Your mom is like "stop being a baby and get out there and clean the pool we have company coming" and you're like but mom its disgusting outside and the pool is fine! We cleaned it yesterday!
And you really deeply regret not looking harder for a summer job.
Oh when I turned 14 I had a summer job. I got paid $5 an hour under the table to help a lady refinish antique furniture, which meant I spent 8 hours a day in a poorly ventilated warehouse using paint stripper on 100 year old varnish and that's why I don't have hair on my arms.
Other - Look, we don't have a class-based system here, so everyone has some weird special snowflake build designed to maximize Shurikens or some shit like that.
He is truly talented, writing/directing 8th Grade, being a complex villain in Promising Young Woman, and of course making the whole world laugh and cry in seven minutes
Glenn McGrath asking a batsman “Why are you so fat?” is the usual sort of dull, nasty sledging that’s very boring, but the batsman answering back “Because every time I shag your wife she gives me a biscuit” is gold.
"You did your best" and "your did great" to someone you crushed is probably the best trash talk
LoL: I was getting wrecked in lane, not that I was playing badly but I was just purely outclassed for 10 solid minutes. Finally two teammates came up top and we attempted to 3v1 dunk this Diana...
we all died. Moments later in all chat Diana just goes "Send 5."
I don't think I've raged harder at a game in my life

Tycho is like, actively nice to the support rep, he doesn't correct them or yell at them.
There really isn't any abusive customer vibe to the comic at all!
No, but he’s painting the person on the other end of the line as if they’re a monster/alien creature. Not a human being
And that they're lying.

i have a pal who is one of those who just misses the point of trash talk completely and goes straight from 0 to 100 and hurts someone's feelings with a comment that is just way over the line
it's kind of an art in its own right to be so bad at it
Allegedly a voice of reason.

Decker/Hacker - I'm a fuckin' nerd.
Yeah this
This reads like Tycho called the customer service line and just vomited all of this all over someone who was just directing their call to the appropriate department.
Because people frequently call in to the wrong departments expecting someone who has no experience, capability, or access to systems to fix a problem they literally can't fix.
And because he was told he dialed the wrong number or wasn't talking to the right people, he made a comic about them being an inhuman monster.
Honestly, fuck him.

I've got a friend like that and english is his second language so I think a lot of it is tone and meaning but yeah you'll be like "man I wish this guy hadn't screwed us over" and he'll be all "Yeah let's fucking slash his tires and piss in his mailbox" and I'm like "woah buddy I was just thinking of a passive aggressive e-mail but I like where your heads at"
Though in that one they actually do abuse the CSR.
So you know, that's progress.

They did the same comic 12 years ago when they were in a position to not only have but afford 30 meg internet and still felt the need to make that comic.

30 meg in 2009 in Seattle wasn't really anything special.
Like a non techy person would've been on DSL maybe but that's cause that shit was like $20/month.

Donkey KongPutting Nintendo out of business with AI nipsRegistered Userregular
The Super Nintendo's PPU is so good, I wonder how deliberate it was in terms of design. It has a ton of modes and seems kind of confusing to program for, but some of the things it had were really really smart in terms of having a huge impact without much cost.
Like Mode7 is just a single background layer with an affine transform. That's it, that's all it can do. One layer of tiles, limited colors, scaled and rotated. It was costly in terms of silicon but within budget for a $200 toy in the 1990s. But just having this capability suddenly made it so arcade ports could keep their flashy titlescreens (a huge deal for first impressions), racing games could do a true 360º behind-the-car perspective, and every RPG could have a fancy overworld map that zooms in and out.
The genesis had to struggle pretty hard to compete with nearly every SNES game having these effortless scale and rotation effects that cost nearly zero CPU or development time, but made them look substantially flashier.

Nobody you talk to when you have a problem at an ISP runs it, though. They get paid livable wages to maintain it.
