Waiting and Party Down were both great about depicting the experience of food service, but gay men and Latinos were criminally underrepresented in both.

What about the guy who kept trying to show his nuts to everyone? I assumed he was both Latino and gay.

Before Mr Robit, hacking was always portrayed as some action packed race against the clock with fast typing and a lot of meaningless, magic words.

This. Real hacking is actually quite boring, slow, and extremely time-consuming.

Also, I’ve never met a hacker that was nearly as hot as Remi Malik. Although I did get to meet him once while they were shooting a scene for Mr. robot outside of my friends apartment, and he was super Duper nice.

Not really a hobby but I do hunt, so I find myself rolling my eyes when I hear 18 or more shots out of a pistol, 9 or more shots out of a shotgun and 31 ot more shots out of a semi-auto rifle with a pistol grips. The other eye roll is the unnecessary cocking and re-cocking of the shotgun without ever firing a round. If everything in the show Archer is true, then I may be on the spectrum lol. Except there's no fucking way I could dual focus counting rounds while shooting any gun even itmf its at the range and noone is shooting at me. Movie/tv tho im counting every one.

Gaming is apparently hitting all the buttons on the controller all the time

[–] Wytch@lemmy.zip 20 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Also you can just pick up a controller cold and start playing without any load times.

All video games sound like Super Mario Bros or Call of Duty. Alternatively (if video is shown), all video games are violent zombie shooters with terrible animation.

Only children use handhelds and they are all GameBoy.

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

And handheld gaming is a full-body experience.

Fighting games aren’t far off.

Not sure if it fits or is still a thing, but it used to be that 4 stroke dirt bikes made a 2 stroke sound. Also, all propeller airplanes had the sound of a piston engine, even if it was a turbine.

Oxygen tanks are not bombs. They won't explode or shoot fire. The reason they're painted green is because oxygen is non-flammable. (those red acetylene tanks however, are scary)

Now obviously any existing fire can be made much worse with oxygen, but it's not enough on it's own.
