hmmm

For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

What's the hmmm for? This was how you played GoldenEye back in the day.

There was always that one kid that complained about screen peeking. If it’s on the screen for all to view, it’s part of the game.

Peeking* (unless screens really get you there — not judging)

Also, I completely agree, and me & the gang rocked Golden Eye and Perfect Dark like this back in the day. I mean, sheeeyit. If you weren't keeping an eye on everyone, how were you supposed to know when they got the alien sniper that shot across the goddamn map?! This cardboard separator bullshit has always been for the weak.

Yup. And that one kid was the one that could never figure out where anyone was lol

I feel personally attacked

Don't worry, I'm speaking from personal experience and skill level

Reminds me of a never played game in my steam library:

Screencheat: It's a split-screen shooter where everyone is invisible and the only way to know where enemies are is to check their screen.

I was thinking porn as the hmm....

I thought it would fit because it's pretty much nonexsistent in today's world. If more people are for deleting it then I will delete it and replace it with a different hmmm.

No reason to delete it, it's funny

And nostalgic. Not sure if there's hmm value, though.

We all had to police each other and enact penalties if we caught someone peeking. To think all we needed was a cardboard box...

This is what modern game companies have taken from us

[–] Guy_Fieris_Hair@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago

Fucking screen watchers

I miss these days playing free for all on mw2 all night with popcorn chicken and multiple 2L of soda.

“Topher, I swear to god dude, if you peek around that cardboard ONE MORE GOD DAMNED TIME”

Bet the guy that prompted this also picked Oddjob every match.

No screen-looking
