Erratic1 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I am old enough to remember when "min-maxer", "powergamer" and "munchkin" had different meanings. And do not even get me started on "pay to win". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfidy Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 So, just in case you guys didn't know, Snarky had to search high and low for a unicycle to have this picture taken. Apparently the bag pipes are a regular thing. Just kidding. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorDitko Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 The Baby New Year thing ("take your kid to work day") IIRC, was terminated after teams of players entered a mish or portal and left piles of dead babies behind. Yeah, not a good look! Disclaimer: Not a medical doctor. Do not take medical advice from Doctor Ditko. Also, not a physicist. Do not take advice on consensus reality from Doctor Ditko. But games?

Controversy Due to its suspected origins,[3] the term has been accused of being ageist and racist.[11] Perceptions and discrimination The twink stereotype has been criticized for its homogenous descriptions, usually bringing to mind thin, white, able-bodied, blond-haired young men. As with many terms, modern usage has broadened the term to include more diverse parts of the community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZemX Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Words are defined by common usage and this one just isn't commonly used in MMO communities anymore. Probably less because of any "political correctness run amok" and more because MMOs quickly wised up and started implementing level and sometimes trade restrictions on gear. So while there are still certainly advantages of having established high level characters helping out your lower level alts or friends' characters, it's mostly about wealth transfer now and less about having a level 1 decked out in endgame suits of armor and weapons because that stuff could no longer be used by low levels or in some cases even traded/sold at all. At least that I recall, this was more often used to refer to wearing high level gear gifted from another character than just being "powerleveled" or "farmed" up in levels quickly. We still use those terms, in fact, and almost never see "twinked" in this same context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
