Back in Corey's day memes were called "image macros" and only nerds used the internet on their phones.

I only have 2 problems with the game, one is durabilty is too low on almost all items, second is that shield surf takes durability.
dj505
Agreed. Shield surfing is so freaking fun. I used most of my Korok seeds on shield slots so I could carry more haha
PlesiosaurWithElementsOfAnIdeaOfTheLochNessMonsterBoy
Exactly they gave us a fun as fuck way to get around, then punished you for doing it. It kinda sucks.

Shit like this is what we really need. Something to remind us that anything really is possible if you really try your best.
meskarune
People can try their best and still fail horribly. if you don't try at all though, you are more likely to fail.

Hey I wanna be a game designer! Cool, you're hired! Sweet, what do you want me to do? Programming. https://youtu.be/LukyMYp2noo
sadejester
you do have to have an actual skill to get a job. in games, it's usually either art or programming.
HolyCringeLordBatman
I mean, anyone that seriously wants to go into game development has to know that "Idea guy" or "Designer" isn't a role.
HolyCringeLordBatman
You're either implementing or providing art assets of some kind
Curiousone545
... I.. Uh.. I don't know about you all, but I would not want him teaching English to my kids. "puts a poison.. What?
armeggedonCounselor
It's probably a regional thing, but it should be obvious what it means from context.
forreallyandfortrue
Japan English Teachers hires you once you get a bachelor's degree; since 2007 he could have graduated, taught in Japan & worked @ Nintendo.
malaroo
... I.. Uh.. hope you don't have kids if you can't put that one together.

The same as today, but with less special snowflakes.

Sweet innocent times. The news weren't just clickbait, market liberal right wing politics only happened in the US and milk was still healthy

THe same as it is now. I dont know what these people are on about being safe in 07. There was still some bad shit out there.

It was not very common. Mostly it was shit like "killzator003405" or "SpongeBobFan576."

Some of us still have usernames from that period of time.

It was the kind of times we'll tell our grandkids about. Memes were fresh but not dank, viral videos didn't have pleas for likes and subs.
CyberCunt
Online gaming was way less salty.
Threns
"I tell ya, I don't like these new memes, they just knock you on your ass. Give me an orly owl, I'll have a chuckle."
Corridoor
in all fairness it's like points on imgur, I think the onus is on the website to put less value on it
somekindafuckingidiot
memes used to be called image macros back then
Threns
Only when we were having pretentious conversations about them in relation to culture, that would be uncouth otherwise
