I knew you were a hexbear user because:
a. you used an inline image in your comment
b. you used that image

What the heck is it, what's the origin, and what is it supposed to mean? Looks like some Philips CD-i game.

It's usually used to convey elaborate bullshittery, but here's the original CDi game clip.

Woah, didn't think I would guess the CD-i thing.
Wonder who downvoted me and why.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Not Hexbear. There's no downvote function in Hexbear except the sort-of-joke use of this emoji: downbear

[–] abfarid@startrek.website 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, I saw that there are very few downvotes on hb posts and assumed they are disabled for the instance. But I do still see some downvotes. Are those coming from other instances?

[–] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 3 points 3 months ago

Yeah, I think that's how it works

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, those are other instances coping, seething, and malding.

[–] abfarid@startrek.website 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I usually see downvotes on comments that go against hexbear. Maybe bears with accounts on multiple instances.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 4 points 3 months ago

I have no idea. I can't speak for other people there. I'm just Hexbear and Hexbear has no in-house downvotes.

  • it is "morshupls"

  • Morshu is a shopkeeper character from Link: The Faces of Evil

  • It's generally used to convey someone giving an overly verbose and possibly asinine explanation "Morshu Explains" see also :pronouns:
