Henry Hoare Puns

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Hey r/gamedev,

I've noticed a lot of developers on here post questions or stories relating to capitalizing on positive PR from influencers. Posts like this one come to mind, where developers feel like they should have garnered thousands of sales due to mega influencers playing their game.

I wanted to contribute to that discussion by sharing my recent interview with young horror game developer Henry Hoare.

Henry recently released "Bloodwash" which is a short, relatively linear horror game which was recently played by the likes of Markiplier and a few other huge influencers.

While he didn't share exact sales numbers with me, he had some interesting things to say regarding how he handled his games spontaneous YouTube fame. We also discuss a few ways you can try to make your game more "replayable" to translate more of those views into sales.

The interview is part of my podcast, Free Roam.

If you just want to hear about how Henry dealt with the attention from Markiplier, that discussion starts at the 13:26 mark and lasts for about 5 minutes. If you want to hear more about his game Bloodwash, it's grimy PS1/Silent Hill art style, or how Henry got into the industry, you can listen to the whole thing. (about 25 minutes total)

Hope you all enjoy and maybe learn something too. Feel free to provide feedback here if you'd like too.

If you or someone you know would like to be a guest on my podcast, DM me. Thanks!

Do your worst!

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

Heard they've been doing some shady business.

The newly opened Madison Square Garden in New York City was a fitting venue for the largest political convention in American history. The massive venue had space for thousands of people, which was well used as both the Liberal and Republican parties agreed that they would bring their full complement of state conventions for a total of over 1800 delegates, as well as the staffs of campaigns, political associates, and a wide variety of hangers-on or spectators. To ensure that neither party would dominate the proceedings, the convention began by outlining the rules by which it would be held, including an equitable split of chairmanships and a two-thirds majority requirement for the presidential nomination. After this, the first major order of business would be the presidential nomination, as it was expected to largely dominate the platform that would be written to support it.

The Presidential Balloting

For an overview of the candidates, see the poll post for this convention.

With such an unprecedented convention, no one was sure exactly how the first ballot would develop and it returned a highly divided field. Although Harrison had a clear leading position, this was with only one-third of the delegates. Ames, recognizing that his campaign was dead in the water in the face of the much more popular Harrison, agreed to drop out of the race in exchange for a cabinet position in a future Harrison administration. However, this bargain raised questions about Harrison’s position on patronage among Liberal delegates, an issue on which he tended to vacillate. A portion of Liberal delegates who had originally supported Harrison flipped to Hoar or Blair, whose stances on civil service reform were much more firm, keeping Harrison from achieving a majority.

Deadlock reigned for the next several ballots, as the remaining candidates showed no indication of wanting to drop out of the race. Each of the campaigns attempted various tactics to try to break the stalemate and induce movement in the campaign, including a parade by the Wisconsin delegations when they agreed to jointly support Allison, as well as an attempt by t

The election of 1888 was a disaster for the Liberals and Republicans, where their division of the anti-Powderly vote caused a contingent election and a first-time victory for the Populists. Although their congressional alliance broke down after the Progressives seized control of the Republican party, leaders in both parties have successfully negotiated a joint convention and agreed to support a single presidential candidate in an attempt to bring down Powderly (while maintaining their independence in Congress). They have been particularly perturbed by Powderly’s concessions to the southern agrarian wing of the party and the nomination of Benjamin Tillman for Vice President. In an attempt to avoid a power struggle for Liberal or Republican control, the parties have decided to allow state delegations from both parties and require a two-thirds majority for nomination. Hosted in the newly opened Madison Square Garden in New York City, this convention will certainly be a historic one with no shortage of personalities competing for the nomination.

The Candidates

Adelbert C. Ames: Although 57-year-old Senator Adelbert C. Ames of Mississippi’s home state has for a long time managed to avoid succumbing to total Populist domination, Ames’ career nonetheless appears short lived as the Populists continue to cement their hold on the state. Unwilling to be relegated to irrelevancy and incensed at the Populist embracement of its Southern wing, he has decided to mount another campaign for the presidency. Ames is a well regarded speaker who doesn’t shy away from waving the bloody shirt and accusing the Populist of Confederate sympathies. Increasingly radicalized, Ames has called for the vigorous enforcement of the Lodge Act, a repeal of the Posse Comitatus Act, and the use of executive powers in patronage and education funding to support the rights and privileges of African Americans. Economically, Ames is a moderate on tariffs and the gold standard due to his primarily agrarian constituency, but otherwise is generally economically conservative. He is also an advocate for military preparedness. Ames has an extensive military record including personal valor on the battlefield, which would be sure to appeal to veterans.

William B. Allison: 63-year-old Vice President and former Iowa Senator William B. Allison has served under both the Garfield and Powderly administrations, after a contingent election allowed him to stay in office despite his superior’s defeat.

BamBOO!

They’re on standbi

but then I remembered it was ground this morning.

Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale

Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments

Pilot on me!!

Nothing, he was gladiator.

Or would that be too forward thinking?

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

What did 0 say to 8 ?

Thank you all for listening.

George Dewey, 22nd President of the United States of America.

Administration:

Vice President: Robert M. La Follette

Secretary of State: Thomas B. Reed (1901-1902 (died)), Grover Cleveland (1902-1905)

Secretary of the Treasury: William F. Vilas

Secretary of War: William O’Connell Bradley

Attorney General: Louis Brandeis (1901 (appointed to the Supreme Court)), Frank D. Jackson (1901-1905)

Secretary of the Navy: Theodore Roosevelt

Secretary of the Interior: William Borah

Postmaster General: Myron T. Herrick

Secretary of Agriculture: Oscar Underwood

Secretary of Labor: Terence V. Powderly

Dewey’s cabinet was a diverse array of political proclivities. Former General Trades Union President and incumbent Secretary of Labor Terence V. Powderly, having served in the Trumbull, Houston, and George cabinets, agreed to serve in a fourth and remain as Secretary of Labor under President Dewey. Maine’s Thomas Brackett Reed was selected to serve as Secretary of State, bringing a conservative and anti-imperialist touch to things that would persist until his death in 1902, whereupon he was replaced with former New York Governor Grover Cleveland, a Liberal recently mired in a scandal involving his sister’s relationship with another woman. William F. Vilas was made Secretary of the Treasury, evidencing the administration’s shift from protectionist Federal Republican orthodoxy.

Anti-prohibitionist Kentucky Federal Republican William O’Connell Bradley was selected to serve as Secretary of War due to the intervention of Mark Twain, who vehemently protested Dewey’s initial intention to appoint Theodore Roosevelt to the post. Nonetheless, Roosevelt was placed at the Naval Department in a gesture of reconciliation to party Houstonians. Louis Brandeis was selected as Attorney General once more, while 35 year old Farmer-Labor Representative William Borah of Idaho was made Secretary of the Interior, a controversial choice publicly opposed by Federal Republican leaders such as William McKinley. Ohio anti-prohibition Federal Republican Myron T. Herrick and Alabama Liberal Oscar Underwood were granted the Postal and Agriculture positions, respectively.

With the politically inexperienced Dewey lacking many connections or legislative acumen, heightened by his belief in a weak executive, his cabinet and Vice President La Follette wielded large
