Rules:

1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

88 = Heil Hitler

That's one I've never heard before. Is it some sort of neonazi slang or am I just really dumb?

Well, looked it up before posting this comment. That's absolutely crazy that it's an actual thing.

It's literally one of their most common dogwhistles and has been for as long as the Internet has existed, lol

If you see a 14 or a 88 anywhere in a username you need to start asking questions about intent.

I'm internet poisoned as hell but I'm surprised that that's not common knowledge. Its also often 1488 with the 14 referring to the 14 words of the following neo-nazi slogans:

"We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children"

"because the beauty of the White Aryan woman must not perish from the Earth."
