So, it's meant to be a comedy game, and the protagonist is, ostensibly, a Swedish man. Think about it.

Is there a word that combines comedy with tragedy and farce?
Heiterverzweiflung. Not a legit German word so much as something a friend and I made up in German class once. "Carefree despair". When life is so fucked that you can't stop laughing.

I noticed again that iced coffee makes me burp a lot. It's like it creates an air bubble as it goes down my throat, and I have no explanation for why this is so.

Probably because a lot of air gets blended into the coffee when the ice gets ground up. When you drink it through a straw you swallow a lot of air along with it.

Nope, home-made. McDonald's mochas don't do that to me though.

You're thinking of frappucino :P I'm talking about just regular coffee, chilled and served over ice.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Wait? I thought spam was... posting message after message after message after message after... I made that thread for a bit of entertainment for everyone.

I'm going to go out of my way to mark that as "Not Interested."
Hello other me. I did the exact same thing.

Yeah.
That sounds believable enough that you won't find out what I might have done.

well, okay, it might not technically be spam

it occupied space on the boards without seeming to offer anything of value, though, so perhaps "shitposting" is a more accurate, if more offensive term that might imply i'm trying to be more discouraging than i am

basically, the thread consisted entirely of a meme

a very old, very well-known meme

moreover, the thread offered no clear direction for future posts - jokes like rickrolling work best in the context of an ongoing discussion, rather than a clickbait-style OP (which a title like "This has GOT to stop" most certainly is), because they can be part of the flow, while on their own they come off as a call for attention rather than an attempt to offer entertainment or inspire it (i'm pretty sure i've done at least two rickrolls on this very board, so i can't just say it's a bad thing to do without being more of a hypocrite than i like to admit)

for successful threads, give people something to talk about (not merely something to react to), make it either original or guaranteed-replies (the latter is something like religion or politics where everyone has an opinion they want to talk about), and participate yourself in order to get the discussion rolling

EDIT: for instance, your use of rickrolling in this thread was much better, because you created expectations and then dashed them upon the cruel rocks of rick astley's hairdo

I find that this is a good guideline on what is considered a worthwhile post.
Whatever that video was, I should probably be glad my school enforces Youtube restrictions. What was it? A rickrolling attempt?

EDIT NOPE, was not a rickrolling attempt according to my way of getting around the filter (Saveitoffline.com)

I don't know ISG27, from this understanding of rickorolling it was textbook. It set up an expectation/hope of sincerity which was dashed on video loading.

Hm, have you considered murder?  It's either that or letting it go.
