In July this year it will be 40 years since the ultra popular video game Space Invaders first hit the arcades:
Arcade historians know that 1978 was a big year in arcade games and Taito knows it too since they released a game that year that put them on the map. Unfortunately Taito hasn’t done anything earth-shaking in the past few years but they will certainly be celebrating the 40th anniversary of Space Invaders throughout 2018. They’ve started by launching this special website commemorating the original; if you frequent modern arcades then you likely will have come across the new Space Invaders Frenzy by Raw Thrills.
For the record, the arcade version was released in July of 1978.
Any other Soylentils remember when this first arrived in the arcades?

I member when video games were only for boys! Space Invaders was rad man, but one day I get all prepared for a high score run and even scheduled the time on the chalk board in the bathroom. Lo and behold some GIRL is on MY machine, totally ruined my day. I even said I'd reserved the time slot and she could check the board herself in the bathroom. She rambled some shit about me making shit up, then she whipped her blue pony tail in my face and told me to fuck off.
That was when I first knew transgender bathrooms were going to cause problems.

The "funny" mod doesn't quite make it here. Need a "funny as hell" mod.

I hope you realize the joke was poking fun at the soylentils with "muh oppression" issues. If you did not expect that then the clues in the joke itself are what your brain considers normal / acceptable.
