Would be better if he got the sticker, was briefly excited, then just kept on pushing the rock

Start with the Greeks.

Rock of ages?

What game is this from?

>no counterargument
As expected of nu-Sup Forums

How am I supposed to get the reference? That's ancient history.

You could try reading a fucking book, nigger.

Still in philos 101

Try going to school nigger

no

the sticker should have come out of a $3 lootbox

Yes. And he would still be excited as shit. And he would keep rolling the boulder again and again, grunting when he gets shit he doesn't want, and be super fucking euphoric when he gets that rare occasional sticker.

This is really good.

But that is basically already the joke, the difference being the original comic doesn't spell out. the punchline.

what I never understood is why doesnt he just not push the boulder?

Because he's happy to push it.

That's his punishment, it's not his choice. He's bound to this horrible fate.

...

wow, you're really dumb aren't you.

>The process of gearing up in a nutshell
I love Mythic Raids dont you

isn't this a ripoff of another decade old comic? something about god telling him he will get an achievement if he does it enough times

...

If the gods put you in hell and tell you to push a boulder
You fucking push it

Summer is over, are you being home schooled?

Its like breathing. Why don't you just stop breathing? At some point you will be unable to hold your breath and continue breathing. That's what happened to Sisyphus. He's literally forced to push the rock.

Sorry but I don't believe in false gods and fairy tales. I'm a man of science.

So what ever happened to the youth remembering the classics? When I was in elementary school there was designated library time where the teachers had to bring students to the school library. There were a good amount of books that would at the very least simplify Odysseus or have some stories of the Greek gods and other mythical and religious beings for the kids to read. Even if they didn't do that, there was always PBS and those dull but weirdly captivating documentaries that you'd watch when there's no cartoons on. I don't want to say mobiles and the tablets are stopping it because surely some kids get curious about them too and look them up.

No, user, the lootbox is FREE*!!!!
*to open a loot box you need a $3 key

Then answer this question, science man: What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? Checkmate, science.

>library
What is that?

Prove that an unstoppable force or an immovable object exists in the first place, christfag.

Kids still go to libraries. The tablet thing may be a problem, but it's hard to say for sure. However, youtube is definitely one of the top things kids talk about. as an elementary teacher I probably hear more talk about youtubers and yt channels than I do about tv shows/cartoons

I said it exists therefore it is. Now prove that it doesn't exist

*adjusts glasses*
A fool's question. Such a thing cannot exist in our universe and so any postulate is not based on evidence or reasoning. It would be as if to ask "how long is the flying spagehetti monster's tendrils?"

No.

Chuckled, but seriously I'm only 20 now and was educated in north eastern New England so if I can get these types of books here then surely those bigger states and schools are better, right?
Shit that makes sense. Now they have all the shows and clips they can watch instantly. No going to the public broadcasting channel, or any other channel really, and watching documentaries.

It's irrelevant whether it exists or not, but let's assume it's an axiom and it does. If science can't answer or not interested in asnwering such a simple question, then what's the reason for science's existence?

How do you stop gravity?

To give your fat pompous ass a computer and an online connection so you can spout mental diarrhea just like you're doing now.

>but let's assume it's an axiom and it does
No.

*emits a deep, bellowing belch*
I do not want to live on this planet anymore

>can't asnwer the questions
>resorts to namecalling
LOL

>what happens when a player with noclip enabled approaches a terrain mesh

They noclip through it, dumbass.

No, seriously. I don't get it. It's all greek to me

Flying?

>How am I supposed to get the reference?

By googling 'ancient man pushing boulder up hill'

Continuing up the hill feels like forward progress, or the apathy of returning back to what you were just doing because of how unimportant the achievement was. Getting excited about the achievement at all is a different joke about how unintelligent the player is.

>what happens when a player with noclip enabled approaches a kill zone
He dies, dumbass

You are not entitled to answers to any retarded questions you may come up with. Everyone else is fully entitled to call you out on being retarded though.

Science is the tests or describes physical phenomenon- you're asking it to describe a non-physical phenomenon. A scientist might say that the question has no practicality as such circumstances cannot exist.

Entropy.

You push really hard opposite way.

how do you make a loss edit of this?

...

Social media is to blame. A few years ago even if a kid just watched tv it would reference classical literature. Now it just references memes and content is created by middle schoolers who never had to read a book that was written in a more formal tone.

yeah if kids are bored now they watch lets plays and shit. LPers are like celebrities to them.

all that said, I suspect they may read more than I did as a kid. They have a lot of time designated to independent reading during the school day compared to what I had.

user asking the important questions

I unironically think stickers are rad as fuck and more games should have them. I don't care if they come from loot crates or whatever just give me stickers so I can slap them on shit.

SMBC already did this comic, and better

>They have a lot of time designated to independent reading during the school day compared to what I had.

What's stopping them from pulling out their cellphone to shitpost when the teacher's not looking?

...

Have you seen how shitty cartoons are lately? Now wonder kids look for entertainment elsewhere.

Oh yeah I totally forgot about independent reading. I think for me in elementary it waa only about 30 minutes but I can easily see it go up to about an hour now.

>I suspect they may read more than I did as a kid
When I was a kid I didn't have internet and TV only had a couple channels in my country then; I also didn't have many friends. As a result I was alone most of the time with not much to do - my parent's library was my go-to for entertainment. I would read everything from old national geographic magazines and popular physics books to mature books that went far over my head. I would pull out books that had an interesting cover, like the first Dragonlance, and if I was interested in them I'd accompany my mom to the public library and look up their sequels.

I doubt a modern kid would have that experience, if not only for the fact that their parents don't really have books in the house anyway.

Is this true?

Cellphones aren't allowed in most public schools

where's the one with the edit at the end

Cheeky

...

Aight, derail time.
When did you last read a book, an what book was it?
Mine was about a month ago. "11/22/63" by Stephen King.

I read The Shinning about a month ago

You motherfucker.

Do LNs count as books?

you're look for a scientific answer to a philosophical question. stop being dense.

Most kids dont have cell phones at the grades ive taught (2/5). Some of the 5th graders do, but even that is pretty rare. I don't think they become common until Jr high. The parents that are worried about emergency situations with younger kids just buy them those watches that allow you to call preprogrammed numbers (mom/dad) and 911.
yeah they definitely get more than an hour, even more at older grades with study hall. however all that is at the expense of science and social studies so there is a give-take there.
Yeah, I think the big issue is that it's just way easier to be a shitty parent these days. Tablets and phones are so cheap and you can just throw them at your little retard instead of actually parenting or doing anything productive.

I read Nekopara vol.3 a week ago.

Coraline, whenever it came out.

Eh, why not?

Other than textbooks? Probably that book on success by Scott Adams.

You could try reading a book sometime

Last book completed? Arsene Lupin, Gentleman Thief - thanks Persona, this collection was dope.

Last book read? The Blue Sword.

Baited for this exact response

Das it mane

Henry V. not the Shakespeare one, but detailed writings of his reign. Haven't picked it up again in months.

...

Today, What Happened.

That's not a book.

I'm currently reading Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. It's pretty captivating, and it's very interesting learning about her philosophy.

molecular biotechnology: principles and application of recombinate DNA 4th ed.

Finished Murder on the Orient Express a couple weeks ago, currently reading Dracula, got Pet Sematary to read when I'm done

It is. Some kids on steam display those things for the world to see. Achievements are only good if the challenge is interesting in the first place.

Too bad her philosophy is retarded.

...

Post the formula for eternal life or GTFO.

Fucking youtubers, streamers and other worthless e-celebs. All they do is fill the kids with trash-tier talk and low class entertainment.
If I had a child and all he did was talk about "OOOH THAT MONSTER MARKIPLIER KILLED IN THE LAST VIDEO-", I'd tell him to stop.
I'm not saying all internet content is bad, but the internet age is a risk for children if unsupervised: we should tell them they should follow something that will get them started on thinking (art) or making (hobbies).
We went from wasting time only at times to wasting time all the time. School as the school you have in the 21st century is also outdated as fuck, both for the West and the East.

2nd panel, 4th panel, 6th panel, 7th panel mirrored with the text adjusted.

I'm currently reading through "What is Mathematics?" by Courant and Robbins. It's the only book I've ever read with a systematic chapter system - you can't read it straight.
Basically it's chapters divided in paragraphs and into mini-paragraphs, some of these have asterisks and smaller text to tell you you can't read it during your first time.
Each chapter has also an extra supplement for the absolute end. At the start you have a "how to read this book" section that boils down too "Don't know? Skip it. You'll know it later".
Your first run will be reading only 150 pages out of its 730 (for me it was so). Then you have to read it again starting from where you didn't know, etc.
Or, alternatively, whenever you don't know something, you read where the concept is introduced at the end of the book and do a backwards run until you can come back.
It's actually a great introduction to mathematics, every person 13 year old or something and over should wrap their heads around it.
It will completely refresh all the math you learned since the first grade throught the last and even some undergraduate/university problems.
Einstein said it was a good book too.
Sorry, I got excited.
