    • pwn

      lol and lmao are quicker to type for more people than rofl on qwerty keyboard. That’s always been my guess. rofl is a little awkward to type

      It used to be a composite too, it was often typed out fully as roflmao. That’s what I think actually became lmao over time

      Toonami

      Remains my guiding light for all of my creative endeavors. My primary ambition is to make something that would make it on Toonami. Something my younger self would dig. I just want TOM to do some ice cold voice-over promo on my work. That’s what I want my c/gamedev projects to be. Toonami worthy.

        Depends, is ghetto meaning poorly built or shoddy (jerry rigged)? Or is it meaning effectively, even stylishly, Improvised from on hand materials (jury rigged)

        Ive seen both definitions used.
