!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!

Not a wizard.

Any significantly advanced science is indistinguishable from magic.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 11 points 4 weeks 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@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] Cephalotrocity@biglemmowski.win 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

I'll have to ponder on that.

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Marvin didn't have the wizard hat.

[–] Cephalotrocity@biglemmowski.win 3 points 4 weeks ago

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

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

He did, but only in bed.

[–] BluesF@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks 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@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

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

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 0 points 4 weeks ago

Sufficiently advanced technology.

[–] bran_buckler@lemmy.world 18 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

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

[–] jlh@lemmy.jlh.name 14 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks 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@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] OCATMBBL@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago

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

[–] buycurious@lemmy.world 15 points 4 weeks ago

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

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 12 points 4 weeks ago

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