Clippy knows all and sees all.
It’s a parody of overserious memes that are trying to sound edgy and badass. The archetype is a gun-wielding skeleton that’s riding a motorcycle and saying something about thin blue lines, but wolves and other imagery are also adjacent.
Instead, THE_PACK takes that aesthetic, cranks it up to 12, and adds some silly text. Everyone is role-playing as a skeleton that’s obsessed with motorcycles (hogs). You have to TALK IN ALL CAPS to be heard over the engine noise. And everyone’s friendly and welcoming in a way that edgelords aren’t.
A few great examples from the last year or so:
Yeah, Tactical Breach Wizards has been in development since at least 2020. I was in the closed beta in 2022 and it was pretty great. They’ve finally announced the release date of August 22, and I’m excited.
This gives me Locked Tomb vibes.
Can anyone prove it’s NOT an extra-long cow?
NES only has two buttons, but it did establish the “A on the right” norm. The SNES established the four-button diamond labeled A, B, X, and Y.
Is this why Ian McCollum’s videos are getting altered? Over the years, he’s had many historical deep-dives featuring firearms from the Murphy’s auction house. In recent months, he’s been re-uploading those videos to cover their logo with the word “Morphy’s”. Even though the auctions are long over, I suppose Google counts them as promoting sales.
Nintendo set the standard in 1990 with the SNES. Microsoft broke it in 2001 with the Xbox.

This 100%. Only a hobbit would bring their favorite cast iron frying pan on a transcontinental hike into hostile territory.
The event I’m referring to wasn’t OP’s photo. Mine was back in 2004 or 2005, long before Win10 was released.
Maybe? If I recall correctly, this was Windows XP. Also the computer was owned by the school, so the students didn’t have admin access.
I saw that happen once in a big presentation.
There was a team of students presenting their work to ~200 people. Right in the middle, a pop-up says updates are finished and the computer needs to restart. It has a helpful 60-second countdown, but “cancel” is grayed out, so all they can do is watch.
I was only in the audience and I still have nightmares.

Why am I reminded of the Self Aware Megalomaniacal Computer Storage facility from Star Trek: Lower Decks?
Mediocre.
Is he, though? Duke Nukem is a huge fanboy. He can’t go give minutes without quoting some movie or other.

That’s some genius-level out of the box thinking. You’re hired!
I’m looking at you, Olórin, Mithrandir, Incánus, Tharkûn, Greyhame, Stormcrow, Láthspell, and/or Gandalf.
