  1. I’m sorry, but due to cultural norms the name Twitter is rooted deep within our modern language.
  2. [PERSUASION] Maybe a free little blue check will do the trick
  3. Or what?
  4. [INTIMIDATION] drop your daughter’s dead name and I’ll drop your site’s.

I started a DU playthrough and laughed almost as hard as I alt-F4ed the first time I picked one of those fantasize options and saw what happened. 10/10 addition to the dialogue tree

pivot_root, (edited )

Narrator: You imagine throwing a burlap sack over his head. His underlings would be extremely displeased with you, but he wouldn’t put up much of a fight himself.

Narrator: You can think of someone who would be extremely pleased with your offering, however.

Elon: You’re looking at me funny. Is there something you need?

  1. [THE DARK URGE] Give in to your desires.
  2. [PERSUASION] I have an investment opportunity that I think you would be interested in.
  3. Can I see your wares?
  4. No, nothing. I was just lost in thought.

You know you’ve played the game too much when you can hear how the Narrator would read those lines.

pivot_root,

And you know you’ve also watched too much Thunderf00t when you can hear how Elon would read his line too…

grue,

What game has “THE DARK URGE” dialogue options? I was imagining Fallout before, but this makes me think it must be some newer one.

jadedwench,

Baldur’s Gate 3. Go play it. Now. Sleep is for the weak.

vaultdweller013,

What perk gives ypu it?

popekingjoe,
@popekingjoe@lemmy.world avatar

When you create a character, you have the option to play an Origin Character, who are the other companions in the game like Shadowheart, a custom character with your own backstory, or a Dark Urges character, who is also custom, but has the additional backdrop of having dark impulses, like wanting to murder random characters.

Case,

Don’t forget potentially useless proficiency skills.

A rogue with wis as a dump stat provably shouldn’t be making too many medicine checks lol.

Ive only messed with that origin once.

I’m still exploring builds, not so much because I’m unaware of the RAW stuff, but to see how its implemented in BG3. I haven’t left act one yet, lol.

vaultdweller013,

Ok guess I just overlooked it.

popekingjoe,
@popekingjoe@lemmy.world avatar

I think it’s the bottom right option.

Dee Reynolds?

I very quickly learned not to trust the Dark Urge to stop at imagining the act.

Skitburd,

… hold on this mf has TEN kids

which… one? we’re not talking about Grime’s baby are we?

AdamHenry,

I believe she has two with Elon and (last time I checked which was awhile back) dating Chelsea Manning.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Nope, Vivian Jenna Wilson, Musk’s adult daughter who changed her name and disowned him because of how he treated her as a trans person. Imagine how awful that must be to disassociate yourself from the richest man in the world.

Theharpyeagle,

Reminder that his response to this was “Can’t win 'em all”. Father of the year, no wonder he thinks his sperm is a gift from god.

lorez,

And he should know since it’s his favorite drink.

iforgotmyinstance,

Can we please stop calling unrealized gains holders the “richest in the world”? It’s patently untrue.

Kolrami,

You’re basically forced to measure that as wealth. Otherwise we’re just pretending someone is poor just because they’re cash poor, yet I would argue that poor people have no real way to get 40 billion dollars to immediately lose money on a social media company.

Ghostalmedia,
@Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world avatar

Stop trying to save this man from himself. Call it X.

Use the name with terrible brand loyalty, not the name people recognized and used to love.

aidan,

Who ever loved Twitter?

Grimm,

“Love” is a strong word but it was incredibly useful for gaming news and is the site all the Tumblr artists flocked to when Yahoo banned female presenting nipples.

thechadwick,

I’m so tired of these woke CEOs and their snowflake whining over misgendering their companies. There’s the name that a company is assigned at birth, and I’ll be damned if I’m going to change the way I’ve always called them (for my whole life and ALL of god-fearing Christian history) because some liberal snowflake CEO one-day wakes up and simply declares, “twitter is now X” ffs.

The facts of the birth incorporation certificate, DON’T CARE ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS little pissant mUsK… GET OVER IT!

/s since satire is dead.

HawlSera,

Mr. Pibb, Dr. Robotnik, Sierra Mist, I’m not using your woke “Pibb Extra, Dr. Eggman, Starry” nonsense!

Nepenthe,
@Nepenthe@kbin.social avatar

Oh, that's what that was about? I honestly just assumed Starry was some crap knock-off that the restaurant just happened to have that day. Not really sure what the motive would be or why they'd expect the reaction to rebranding a nearly 20yr old product would be any other assumption. I'm going to disagree with them. They should be glad I'm not calling them Sprite.

HawlSera,

Yeah… I thought the same, that it was some knock-off company’s bootleg Sprite, wasn’t a very good idea, especially since the product packaging looks like Sprite’s

Yendor,

“The Chaser” is a satire site. You’re getting really angry over something that never happened.

lennybird,
@lennybird@lemmy.world avatar

Ugh, it hurts that there are losers out there who say this shit unironically.

abbadon420,

His face looks kinda russian. Also the red, blurred, tesla icon in the background gives off a communist vibe.

explodicle,

That’s a terrible insult to Russian communists.

abbadon420,

I’m sorry, Russian communists

krigo666,

Ok, I won’t. I’ll call Xitter.

MaxPow3r11,

twitter twitter twitter cis

focusedkiwibear,

lol so funny this guy thinks we’re just gonna stop calling it Twitter

kamen,

Can I call it “Twatter” instead? It seems way more fitting.

Leviathan,

Xitter with the ‘x’ pronounced as ‘sh’.

AngryCommieKender,

Xitler same pronunciation of x

Yendor,

“The Chaser” is a satire site. This never happened.

Tygr,

“I saw this tweet on ten today”

First,

tweet

X’cretion

bentsea,

Thank you, from now on that’s what I’m calling it: X-create, x-created, and x-creating all over the Internet.

derpgon,

Sounds like custom HTTP header names

Stumblinbear,
@Stumblinbear@pawb.social avatar

Xeet. Take it or leave it.

MyNameIsIgglePiggle,

Was thinking instead of calling them tweets we should start calling them kisses

MotoAsh,

Don’t you try and fix Musk’s broken toys! That child needs to learn not to break them in the first place. (though not a bad salvage for x)

First,

I have never twatted on twitter, so I wont kiss on ten either.

Transcriptionist,

Image Transcription:

X post by user The Chaser @chaser reading: ‘Stop calling it Twitter’ says guy who deadnames his own child. Underneath is a photo of Elon Musk’s face with a barely visible Tesla logo in the background and the link to the article at chaser.com.au

Good human.

Transcriptionist,

Thank you, fellow human! 🤖

Zanothis,

I think you may have misspelled tweet /s

IronKrill,

Does Lemmy support alt text? I don’t remember seeing the option.

Transcriptionist,

People usually put it in the post description below the image, from what I’ve seen.

tty84, (edited )
@tty84@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

When I go to x.com I end up on twitter.com

So Elon says it’s 𝕏 but my browser still says it’s Twitter

zikk_transport2,

Just listen to musk and do what he says - stop calling it twitter.

We can brainstorm other names. For example, latelly I’ve been preferring twatter. xD

SnipingNinja,

I personally prefer xitter, pronounced as shitter

Savvy95,

I like calling id xD

mostNONheinous,

GTA IV had a Tw@ Internet Cafe so I’ve always kind of thought of it like that.

asexualchangeling,

That’s it! We’ll call it 𝕏@! With the 𝕏 pronounced as sh and the @ pronounced as at!

Threeme2189,

I’m partial to Twixxer myself

stebo02,
@stebo02@sopuli.xyz avatar

That’s funny, when I do it I end up on nitter.net

HiddenLayer5,
@HiddenLayer5@lemmy.ml avatar

Wonder how much money he blew on that domain only to not even make it the canonical one.

LiveLM,

He probably can’t change it without breaking something lol

HiddenLayer5,
@HiddenLayer5@lemmy.ml avatar

Probably third party apps. Gotta keep those smart fridge Twitter clients running! Musk even memed about it a while back.

chatokun,

Since he tried to name PayPal X also, I’m assuming he’s has it forever. Like Bezos and relentless.com.

HiddenLayer5,
@HiddenLayer5@lemmy.ml avatar

Even back then a single letter domain was probably worth tens of millions.

Maybe he’s just fixated on some sort of sunk cost fallacy. Now that he’s finally in control of another online service he feels he needs to use the domain he spent untold amounts of money on just so it didn’t seem like a waste.

GamingChairModel,

No, he literally had to buy the domain back from Paypal in 2017. Paypal owned the domain for years, even after firing Elon in 2000 for trying to switch to it.

jarfil,

Funnier yet, when you go to https://𝕏.com you also end up on x.com which redirects to twitter.com.

MargotRobbie,
@MargotRobbie@lemmy.world avatar

… And all of this could have been avoided if he just renamed it “Twitter by X”, so make Twitter part of the X super-app that he wanted to build.

asexualchangeling,

Then he would have been accused of following in the footsteps of zuck with “meta” and I don’t think his insanely fragile ego would survive

postmateDumbass,

What a twat.

MartinXYZ,

No. What a Xwat!

asexualchangeling,

Ahem, what a 𝕏wat!

MartinXYZ,

Is this a stock picture of Elon crying?

iforgotmyinstance,

Hard to capture in real time since psychopaths don’t have feelings, only approximations of human behavior.

PM_ME_FAT_ENBIES,

Psychopathy is a disability, Elon doesn’t have it, and that’s a negative stereotype.

xcxcb,

Sure Elon, I can provide this service to you for just $8/month. It’s great value honestly, I have expenses to continue to run my life and just $8 will happily contribute towards that.

happyhippo,

Double that and you can rest assured that the X I will pronounce will be verified to have come out of my own mouth. Not someone else’s, mine.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I’m bad at math, but Elon Musk is worth $229 billion dollars, which I think is enough to give every person on Earth $8 a month for a while.

fasterbynight,

If you call 3 months “a while”

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I would, yes. You wouldn’t?

fasterbynight,

No, I wouldn’t call 3 instances of payment (for a total of $24), “a while”.

FlyingSquid,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Okay, well maybe three months isn’t a while to you, but I think most people would consider a quarter of a year to be a while.

xcxcb,

It would be one of the greatest redistributions of wealth ever, sadly.
