Me 2023: what's your favorite pikichu, son? The fire lizard one?
Leonardo!
My son loves Leonardo, they were sold out at the store so I got him a Donatello instead, I'm sure he'll love it, he likes all that pokemans stuff.
Hey bud, How's the pokeyman hunt going?
Surfing Pikachu for sure.
"It's Minecraft, not mind-"
"That son of a bitch…"
That was my exact thought process.
"Wait, why is he spelling it wrong. It's M- oh, he's doing it on purpose. You dirty fucker."
I'm not kidding, that's what I though it was called at first. This was way before everyone knew what the game was, so it's reasonable. It was right around when rails were added, which seems to be 2010, which feels weird that we're 13 years later and the game is still popular.

Is there a "thatsthejoke" Lemmy community
It’s Mycraft, because you own the stuff you build. People just think it’s “Mindcraft” because you have to think about it, but you don’t really have to think about it all that much. It’s not rocket science, like Curveball Space Program.
Mindcraft
You've become the very thing you swore to destroy!
Probably did it on purpose for the kids reading his comment.
A coworker recently showed a picture of Minecraft in a meeting and confidently said it was Roblox. I wanted correct him but I didn't want to be that guy.
Depends if you're vying for their job.
"Come on Johnson, how are we supposed to trust your numbers if you don't even know what you're presenting"
Proceeds to take over the presentation.
Do you think you could have been the other guy, showing a picture of a different popular game and confidently saying it was something else?
(feel free to ignore this, i'm posting to check something with lemons)
Sure, I've misspoken plenty of times.
My brother insists on calling Roblox "Robots" to his kids. This appropriately infuriates them. I'm workshopping Fork-knife to bug my step kids.
Fork-knife sounds like too much out of the gates, ya gotta pick one
Start small with Forknight or Fortknife, workshop some more if that doesn't get the desired reaction
Fort Fight, pronounced as 2 words. It works because it's plausible.
I've been calling Fortnight Forknife for at least 15 years now. We're pretty progressive around our house.
Actually if there was a game called “Mindcraft” that would be as on flames as an af, no hat.
that felt like 3 sequential punches in the gut
I teach middle school so I know all the latest slang. Can't help myself though because I love to mess with them.
I always ask them about pokey man cards and fort knife. Little do they know I had Pokemon cards before they were born and I have season 1 Fortnite skins that I got before they were old enough to play video games.
I'll say, "oh you're a gamer? Do you play that fort knife game? Wait it's what? Fork Night? Is it like a Mario kind of thing? What do you do in it?"
Then after they explain I'll say, "Wow, a lot has changed since I got that OG skull trooper skin. I stopped playing because everyone was straight dog water and I got bored."
They fucking love it every time.
I used to play an MS DOS game called Siege that was made by Mindcraft. Brings back lots of memories since it was displayed on the screen for several minutes while it loaded lol. Had a cool animation and logo for the time.

Playing dumb and intentionally calling things by the wrong name will never stop being funny. Annoying, but funny.
Lemonworld sure have the best microblag memes.
I still call it Pokemans despite growing up playing the games, buying the cards, and watching the show.
Them: "Why are you mocking something you like?" Me: "I DON'T KNOW! 😭"
I "mistakenly" mixed up bussin' with bussy when my niece and nephew were in their late teens.
I doubled down when they corrected me. "Well what's bussy then? If you don't tell me what it means I'm going to ask your friends next time I see them."
This was at a family dinner, by the way. My sister and BIL thought it was hilarious.
Lemon party.
Hmmm, the comic looks a bit surreal now that Twitch is a thing.
Mindcraft mine games.
The children long for the minds
I'm so old, I don't even know what to misname.
My mother called Bed, Bath and Beyond (back when it was an actual store) "Bed and Bath." But she's just like that. She also calls Menards "Maynards." Not because of a Southern accent or something, she grew up in New York City. She's just weird.
We called it "Blood Bath From Beyond".
There was also bath and body works which smelled way better, maybe she combined both?
I think she's just kind of dotty to be honest. You should hear what she thinks about preserving foods in her pantry for a decade or more. I don't eat at her house.
Back in ye olde days it used to just be called Bed n’ Bath, guess they were yet to discover products Beyond that
That's more accurate anyway. There's no Beyond section.

The Internet should be a repository for so much knowledge that getting something incorrect should take a monumental effort.
But... *gestures vaguely*
This is why internet reviewers who constantly get shit wrong baffle me.
"Bro how are you this bad at research?"
Comments drive engagement.
As Captain Luigi would say, "Have to skedaddle!"
When My Little Pony friendship is Magic was in the middle of becoming this huge surprise hit. I messed with my cousin, with whom there is a very significant generational Gap, by pretending that I unironically believed Fluttershy was a tree.

I read that this was scripted, but I like to think it’s real.
I can't be bothered to recall names of any of the social media apps after Snapchat. I know they are many and more popular than it was and I do know their names but when talking about them with younger people I just call them all Snapchat. Tinder, insta, twitter, grinder, anything else they are all Snapchat to me because I don't care.
Snapchat is the one I refuse to install again after briefly trying it out. It's such a gross app, everyone just uses it for cheating on their relationships or monitoring people's locations like stalkers. Even when people talk about stuff on Snapchat the conversation is just so offensive to me. Why are you casually stalking everyone you know? Why is it so important to leave no evidence of your conversations? Fuck Snapchat.
I feel you. My level of uncaring is almost aggressive. Don’t try to make me care!

No, we're meant to be misnaming things - silly!
