playing the Saints Row reboot with a friend and there's a point where a character made a reference to Still Alive from Portal
NO
NO
MAKING REFERENCES TO THAT IS FORBIDDEN AND HAS BEEN SINCE 2008
STOP THAT IMMEDIATELY
@TonicBH but how else are we going to find out the gamers in the crowd
@mavica_again you got a point there
@TonicBH even ignoring that Still Alive is really old hat by now (with the constant parroting not helping things), I feel like trying to reference something like that as a shortcut to humor in 2022 is like embedding Casablanca in Overdrawn At The Memory Bank - it's not going to make your thing funnier, it's just going to remind people of the older thing that was better. 🤷♂️
now that I've had a day to ruminate on this it wasn't that bad
I think I've let fandoms poison the things I like/enjoy.
