I just saw someone say the words âjokingly gaslightâ this might be a good time to reintroduce the internet to the terms âlyingâ or perhaps âprankingâ or even just âjokingâ on itâs own
Okay, say it with me guysâŠ
If you are giving someone wrong information in the hopes that theyâll believe that itâs true, then thatâs lying.
If you are giving someone wrong information under the assumption that theyâll ultimately realise that itâs false, and that they will find this funny, then thatâs joking.
If you are giving someone wrong information in the hopes that theyâll believe that itâs true and that their response will be funny, then thatâs a prank.
If you are giving someone wrong information in the hopes that they will notice the differences between your presentation of reality and their perception of it, and come to doubt their ability to judge what is and is not real, then thatâs gaslighting.
now dont leave this in the tags
If you are giving someone wrong information and you assume they will know it is wrong, in hopes that they will play along, then thatâs a bit.

Iâm just gonna slide this on in here for anyone that is interested in preserving old games. They take it very seriously too, they want an archive of every single game. Like, they have lists of every game ever released for a system, and once that system gets old enough, they add it to their archive and start collecting. Their latest addition was the Xbox 360, they opened that vault up in September 2022, and proudly announced theyâd finished their collection of games for it back in April.
Also, while their game archives are almost entirely complete, theyâve got another project of archiving the manuals that came with those games, and that is⊠considerably less well filled out. Their collection of Xbox 360 manuals is especially rough, theyâve only gotten manuals for three games. So if youâve got some Xbox 360 games kicking around, and the manualâs still with them, please consider scanning them and submitting them to the site!
Game preservation is important, but people rarely consider preserving the manuals as well; I really respect Vimmâs Lair for being so thorough in their archival work.
