badposting is a comm where you post badly


This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.

Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?


Rules:

  1. Do not post good posts.
    • Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
    • Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
  2. This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
  3. This rule intentionally left blank.
  4. If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.

Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

We're what the French call "Les Tánquois" or what Cervantes' eponymous satirical hero Don Quixote called "Los Tanqueros." Both terms are likely derived from a proto-indo-european root that archeological linguists have reconstructed as thus: "Hdan'kwiez" a composite of two already established words "Hdan'k" meaning "to wear" or "to be armored with" and "wiez" meaning "being correct all the time."

I haven't been a tankie since my Overwatch days, my team would always make me play tank because I was the only one good at it. And free play with randos they would always just pick DPS so I had no choice but to go tank, and sometimes healer, just so our team had some small chance of survival. Not that it helped much, always got people screaming in voicechat about me doing a bad job, it's not my fucking fault you ran out in front of my shield and got sniped, or my fault that I was literally the only team member on the objective. Man, I miss that game. classic
