!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.

2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.

I should not need to explain this one.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

First was Orko from He-Man.

Marvin the Martian from Looney Tunes youngling!

[–] Floodedwomb 11 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Not a wizard.

Any significantly advanced science is indistinguishable from magic.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot 11 points 2 months ago

If his science was sufficiently advanced it would've been able to produce an earth-shattering kaboom.

Is a wizard someone that uses magic?

[–] Floodedwomb 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's definitely not an alien using a disintegration ray.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So a wizard isn't someone that uses magic? What is your definition of Wizard?

[–] Klear 2 points 2 months ago

I'll have to ponder on that.

[–] Blue_Morpho 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Marvin didn't have the wizard hat.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

How dare you project your limited idea of what a wizard hat is on Marvin!

[–] Klear 1 points 2 months ago

He did, but only in bed.

[–] BluesF 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I think he just has a small very dark coloured head. He's not just eyes in shadow in a hood, he has a round head... it's just black.

Marvin the Martian

[–] BluesF 1 points 2 months ago

Ok not small, but yes, it's a ball not a void imo

[–] Ensign_Crab 0 points 2 months ago

Sufficiently advanced technology.

They’re not wizards, but did Jawas from Star Wars establish the aesthetic?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Seems like Jawas were the first in ~1977. The fandom wiki says that LucasArts sued Neil Young for having Jawa-like creatures on stage in 1978.

Marvin the Martian beat that by almost 30 years.

[–] Blue_Morpho 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Jawas didn't wear the wizard hat. Same reason Marvin doesn't fit.

Looking at the picture above, hoods seem to count. If not, then half of them don't apply to the rule.

[–] buycurious 15 points 2 months ago

Thank you, was looking to see if someone recognized the OG.

Came in here to defend Orko's legacy. Was not disappointed.
