FUCK
WELL THAT WAS FUCKING FAST NOW WASNT IT? I blame the door that blasted open and staggered me then the what 5 hill orcs that popped up and decided to shit on me. Well that was kind of fun I guess and it was fairly fun to type this out.
NETHACK CHRONICLES 4
SORRY WONOTOBO
Whoops. So apparently the door I kicked open was a door to a shop. Shopkeepers don’t like their fucking doors being kicked the fuck down. I couldn’t pay off the shopkeeper so I had to kill her, I mean I don’t want to lose this character right?
So 2 zaps from my wand of cold later and the poor lady is dead (I mean wouldn’t a Wonotobo be a women anyway?). So I probably fucked up my use of wishes for a while and im not sure what else happens when I murder neutral/lawful creatures. Pretty sure Thoth is going to be pissed off which means I cant get my hunger satiated until I start giving up corpses when I find a neutral (or lawful? I forget which thoth is hahh) altar. On the bright side I get all of the contents of the shop for fucking free. on the bad side, I can’t price Id any of my shit I come across and now I don’t remember if future neutral/lawful creatures will hate me for this. meh thisll be fun

NETHACK CHRONICLES 2
THE BLUE LETTER e
Ok so apparently the blue letter e is a fucking floating eye. I was retarded and didnt check the wiki or mouseover the stupid letter before I attacked it. I should be considered lucky that my most prominent wizard from my start-scumming endeavors is still alive. If there was another monster in the room I would have probably been slapped to death while I was frozen.
I found a use for my tumblr…
NETHACK CHRONICLES
This won’t be very often and nobody will give a shit…But, I want to get back into Nethack. I haven’t played the game for almost a year now and I honestly forget a lot of the little tips and shit that I have picked up over the year or so that I played (i.e the correct way to solve the Sokoban Levels..). I also want to play in ascii and get used to that. I heard that it gives you more of an immersive experience and it’ll make me look that much cooler if I play it in public. Fuck I don’t think ill ever beat this game but im going to try.
The picture that I left up is me start scumming the shit out of gnommish wizards. I want one with either a decent spell and ring of regeneration, or heal and any rings that will be useful at all in the start. I probably won’t even start actually playing for awhile if I keep on meticulously throwing away wizards that I don’t like. Hell, I might not even do this and this will be the only nethack post that you see.
Wait. WHAT?! WHATTTTT?! Is this happening?
OH MY GOSH IT IS there’s an actual commercial and all too WHAAAAAAAT IS THIS TRICKERY HOW WAS THIS EVEN APPROVED? HOW WAS THIS IN ANY WAY EVEN APPROVED WITHOUT SOMEONE STEPPING IN AND BEING LIKE, “Oh hey, you know when you say that Dr Pepper isn’t for women? Yeah, that’s sexist. Just a heads up!” That’s what I wanna know. And who was the genius that thought this was a good marketing strategy? Did it just never occur to them that this was incredibly offensive? DID THEY GO TO SCHOOL AT ALL EVER IN THEIR ENTIRE LIVES, BECAUSE THIS PRETTY MUCH BREAKS EVERY GOOD ADVERTISING RULE IN THE BOOK. I mean apart from the fact that this is extreeeeemely offensive, it also is a really insensible way to sell a product that (last time I checked) was not even targeted specifically towards men or women. This isn’t like, tampons or something, this is SODA. EVERYONE DRINKS SODA. WHY would you cut your target audience in HALF by making a statement like this about your product? That is absolutely ridiculous.
Or maybe this is a huge social experiment ahhh and they’re trying to see what people do. HAHA ohhhhh wow I don’t even know what to do except like, not drink Dr Pepper. Which I never did anyway. AJFDL WHAAAT haha ahhhh I just can’t believe this is real.
… not to mention that hideous can design.
It’s actually brilliant in my opinion. It gives guys a sense of being part of something exclusive, it’s only for them, it makes them feel special.
At the same time it makes women curious, “Why isn’t it for me? I better go try this to solve the mystery.” It’s almost reverse psychology, I’d imagine some women saying “Well fuck those guys, I’m going to drink this soda just because it isn’t for me!”.
Thirdly, it causes a stir when someone gets mad about it, free advertising. There wouldn’t be an ad sitting on my tumblr dash if it was some boring “Our soda is super yummy in your tummy” campaign.
It’s not like they’re restricting sales from women, it’s hardly sexist.
… I don’t know any women who would go out of their way to try doctor pepper just because the advertisements say its “not for them.” Anyway… I just think the can design is horrendous. The ad itself is really just so over the top that I’m not even offended by it. If anything I find the blatant gender stereotyping more offensive to men than women. (“THIS is what a man is, THIS is what a man should be, MANLY MANLY MANLY”) I also can’t imagine it being a very successful campaign. It may cause upset about whether or not this ad campaign is sexist (and I DO think it is sexist, but so are a lot of other things, too many to individually complain about. plus I am fully aware my opinions are of no consequence to anyone), but the commercials have been around for a while now and there really hasn’t been that much buzz. I’m also assuming most people are intelligent enough to realize that drinking dr pepper doesn’t actually make you a member of some exclusive men’s club. then again maybe that’s probably not the wisest assumption to make.
Well it’s not even Doctor Pepper, it’s low cal Doctor Pepper, something normally targeted to females(although not as directly as these are). That’s what I think is the main reason for these ads.
And that’s how mens ads are, look at a tuck ad, they basically say, “we know you’re the most badass, hardworkingest dude on the planet, so we designed this truck to be able to keep up with your badass lifestyle of hauling heavy shit and doing work”.
Compare it to like a makeup commercial, “our new makeup will make you look really young (implying that you look old)”, or “our new anti wrinkle stuff will get rid of those ugly wrinkles all over your face!”.
Men’s ads target their god complex of I’m so cool while womens ads target their insecurities. This ad tells men that they’re so cool they get a soda just for them, it’s bold and crazy just like they are. At the same time it’s telling women that they’re not good enough for this soda, it’s a man only thing, which in my opinion would make them be curious and want to try it more.
Ten calories? Jeez that must taste like shit.
