what do i call these majestic creatures who toss mario up in the air you ask?
you inquire about the name that i gave to these once beloved creatures, now forgotten and replaced by the monsters at nintendo?
you want to know what i call them?
I call them soul!
Soul you see my dear anons is not something you can measure by science, but we know it's there. Soul is something that our once young minds were molded by before the malice of DLC and micro transaction and "surprise mechanics" destroyed it all.
This soul, i declare we must reclaim! by force if necessary! We, gamers, must rise up against our oppressors, feminists/black people/ EA/ Elizabeth Warren/ Trump.
We must throw the shackles of oppression off our wrists and say no more!

I didn't ever talk to anybody else so I never had to think about what they're called.

Zoomer games don't have soul
Yep, I'm thinking thats Based.

Flippy bastards.

ducks
ditto. tfw unimaginative, I guess.
zoomers were like 1 year old when sunshine released
That dork looks like she's about to bust a gut laughing.
NPCs call they cataquacks, so that's what I called them.
I didn't call them anything because I couldn't imagine a context where I'd talk to someone else about them.
duck things
Mario Sunshine came out in 2002 which means they were 7
But what did you call them in your head? Yknow, when thinking about them?
Do people usually assign names to random stuff before they think about them? If I ever thought about these sorts of things I just thought what defines them, not what they're supposed to be called.
"duckie wuckies uwu"
Nah but random thoughts like
"I better avoid X"
"This level is hard because of X"
"I need to be able to kill X"
Thoughts like that.
i dont and i even put an answer out. ive never personally been interested in the names of other things only their function
"that fucker that y"

Are people supposed to think in sentences?
I identify my targets not by their names but by the screams they make as they die

Basedbirds.
Do you not? Granted, I don't think in sentences all of the time, only when it really requires thinking. If it is trivially thinking, it is just an automatic remembrance.
Probably the birds or those birds or something.
Patos
cataquacks (long time nintendo power sub)
90% of stuff is automatic remembrance to me; if I have to concentrate on something I usually think of things solely as sounds and/or images and never coherent sentences.
Cataquacks, because an NPC tells you ingame.
Not sure but I called these fuckers “Chinese things”
I was 6.
Anti-nigger squad because they destroy watermelons
Cataquacks
I think that's what they're called anyway.
Lead us in the Cataquack Revolution, brother.
youngest zoomers are 20 user
I called them yoducks because they looked like yo-yos.
Is this the antithesis of my Peanus Weenus?
Cat-a-Quacks, like what they were actually called. I pronounced Gelato Beach with a hard G because I didn't know what Gelato was back then
That's funny, it made me think of peanus weenus as well.
Gelatos, because I didn't know shit about Italian desserts.
Nigger lipped ducks

Holy shit bro you might be an npc. This is amazing we got a live one. Do you really have no internal monologue? No ability to think within your head?
are you okay?
cringe
Bobcat, are you okay?
not him but i would like to stab at your brain a little bit. do you think no thoughts occur in animals that dont have a language? have you ever considered that thinking with words is slower? think about while you read. if you try to pronounce the words in your head you are limited by how fast you can speak those words. but if you try to read a line without actually saying them you can still understand what you are reading while reading 5 times faster. this is known as speed reading, and while it is also harder to retain specific information this way you still understand the gist of it as most information isn't very important
What did you call this thing as a kid?
skipping inner speech is one thing
being incapable of it is another altogether
a half press boi
spider.
spindlemin
he didnt say he was incapable, he asked if you are supposed to. and i think thats an interesting philosophical debate, language is an invention and while it can make life easier it isn't necessary by any means. so granted that inner speech is slower than the brains own language is it not more appropriate to think in that more abstract method? language is likely important to creating initial neural connections but after that point is there really a purpose in thinking in sentences or even words at all?
>he didnt say he was incapable, he asked if you are supposed to.
my understanding of English causes me to interpret the phrase "Are people supposed to think in sentences?", particularly with a confused reaction image attached to it, to imply that the writer was not aware that this is a thing that people do, which in turn implies to me that the writer has never done it himself.
as for your question though, the idea of linguistic relativity contends that the answer is "yes" with regard to many contexts. although there are plenty of functions, such as athletic performance, which rely mostly on baser levels of neurological activity. it's not helpful to think something like "here I go to catch the ball. I should extend all of my fingers now" in the moment
Just quacks. Didn't know they were called cataquacks until later on.
I love you user
I never called them anything, they were just "those things in that level" for me
i took it to be a more disgusted reaction, as if people who thought in sentences were revolting in some way. as in maybe beneath someone who didn't think in sentences. now i wonder if its not the better way
Cunts
Based

I never saw them.
Cataquak because the piantas tell you.
