Protip any time i get a rocket launcher in a videogame I internally (and often externally too) call out "RAWKET LAWNCHAIR!" in my most energetically cheerfully cheesy voice.

yes i do like metal slug games why do you ask

@Nine I'M SO GLAD I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO PARSES IT AS LAWNCHAIR
@theoutrider @Nine i usually just yell "YASS BAZOOKA" and fire erratically
@colon_three @theoutrider ....yeah this is also the reason I am not allowed high explosives in fps games usually ^^;;;
@theoutrider @colon_three also that and I can't help but quote the terrible Excel Saga with "DON'T WORRY LADIES, EXPLOSIONS FIX EVERYTHING!!" sometimes .
@Nine @colon_three also itym "the magnificent Excel Saga"
@colon_three @Nine 15 years later and I still call my games PCs "nabeshin" and my laptops "poemi"
@colon_three @Nine and my NAS file server "iz-chan"
@theoutrider @colon_three Its so bloody weird that the manga has almost no resemblance to the anime whatsoever. The anime is just.... it's just fucking out there.
@Nine @colon_three I've NEVER ACTUALLY READ THE MANGA
@colon_three @Nine I *have* stopped labelling hard drives as "Hyatt", it just didn't feel like a good idea after a while
@theoutrider @colon_three Maybe give it a shot, it's kinda neat actually in a way.

@theoutrider @colon_three Honestly I do have a slightly guilty enjoyment of it ^^; it's ....utterly ridiculous and ...just...

so asinine it hurts.

but I love it somewhta, I can't lie to myself.

@Nine @colon_three the very purpose of the rocket launcher in Quake is to be used as a melee weapon
@theoutrider @colon_three and an impromptu jetpack too :D
@Nine @theoutrider there's a reason my backup main in overwatch is pharah :D
