My teenage son loves Tajín (Spanish pronunciation: [taˈxin]). I always pronounce it Tanjin (phonetically Tan-JIN). He hates it. I also would interrupt him with a snare sounds every time he would say "But um" in a conversation, it was like every other sentence.
I was there. When Water and Lava were infinite and could drown an entire map. And a forest fire would crash the game. It was only 2011, yet it was so long ago.
I had a friend who started a fire in one direction on our og vanilla world, pre-wolves, just after deserts were added iirc. It burned the forest and spread. Any time we tried to go that way, the fire would tick farther and lag us out very badly.
We just couldn't go that way anymore. Man was just chaos incarnate in EVERY game we played.
They shoulda referenced that Vine if they were gonna go for it. -German boy opening (Christmas?) gift from grandpa- -the kid’s dad- “DAD, he sed MineCRAFT, not MeinKAMPF” -kid’s grandpa- “…oh…”
When my daughter was in preschool, she was obsessed with My Little Pony. I would purposely say the pony names just slightly off, and she would get so adorably frustrated correcting me. Twilight Sprinkles, Rainbow Smash, Cutie Pies, Flutterfly, Apple Jax.
My step dad used to say w250 instead of wd40. I used to think it was because he was an idiot. Maybe he was doing it on purpose.... Nah he was an idiot.
Oh my kid is screwed. My wife and I find it funny to refer to the Nintendo switch as the game boy, and have been doing so since long before my daughter was born
when pokemon go came out, i didn't know most of the pokemon and would say weird crap while my little boy would say NO DAD.. and tell me the names. I'd say OH.. a floppy fish.. (magikarp) and call them by their looks or whatever. After months of this he caught on and told me he knew i was messing with him. :D Was so much fun though.
My favorite episode of Naruto was when Luffy kicked Cells rear in while Aizen Sosuke cheered him on from the sidelines with Joey Wheeler and Brock. Though the next best was deffo when the fire ninja slayer natsu challenged Rias and Alucard to a duel and managed to keep them at bay for 23 episodes while alphonse beat the snot out of Eren Yeager in front of the board of directors for the Shidare snack company to prove Eren could sell the most snacks
My daughter just came home from college, and I knew she was talking about a kid named Kannon, but I called him Kraklin. She said "that's not a hard name to remember" and I said "I like calling people by funny names"

Computer Lego's is an accurate description, for us old people.

It isn't there are numerous lego video games so it would be extremely inaccurate to lump Minecraft in with them.

It's literally how I described it way back in 2008 when it was lesser-known.

How I described it when friends were playing it and describing it to me in the early days. Their reaction: “_exactly_, isn't it brilliant”?

Probably upset because the plural of LEGO is LEGO.

It absolutely is considering there are numerous lego video games.
WaffleProfessor2
So because there are lego branded video games, we can't compare other things to legos anymore?
DarkBusterBaron
You aren't comparing it to a lego game you said it was a lego game.
WaffleProfessor2
show me where I said it was a lego game.
LtRooney
So Kerbal Space Program is computer space Lego?

No, that's a poor comparsion.
