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

They've somehow opened up new locations where I am. No idea how, I thought all their stores closed down years ago, but they're back, apparently.

They've pivoted towards more Zing! style retail with clothing, TCG and figurines. I'd say only 30% of floorspace (mostly wall-space) is dedicated towards videogames now. The markup on plastic crap must be enough to let them re-expand

I just don't know how they expect to profit when they are competing with half a dozen other stores in the same shopping centre that offer the exact same plastic crap and shirts, plus actual electronics and not just video games. I clearly am not a capitalist mogul though, as I lack the vision to understand why trying to break into an oversaturated market is a good idea.

Hexbear was so famous in life that people would queue outside his cave for hours, desperate to ask him for curses. But he soon grew tired of granting dark favours and began turning them away. Furious, the villagers turned on him, treating him cruelly. In a rage, Hexbear cursed them all before retreating into his cave – where men sealed the entrance with a massive boulder, trapping him forever.
