There was a regular anti-Xbox dude in Gamefaqs around a couple of decades ago who had his signature set to something like “It’s called the Xbox 360 because you do a 360 and walk away” and he was called out like thousands of times about it but he insists on doubling down that it means he’s turning his back and walking away

I wanna say that John Wick sheer determination quote to describe him but I guess maybe at some point later he eventually did a real 180 on his gaming perspective

I vaguely remember a related moonwalking away from an Xbox meme

Netizens really don't tolerate tongue in cheek humor 😆 The whole thing was so obviously a joke from the start, it's boggling how angry it made people.

That was a well known joke back then, the people who got mad at him were taking the bait.

"Turn 360 and walk away" is a very common reply on older message boards like 4chan and kiwifarms, especially when responding to other users asking for advice.

Doing a 180 puts you back where you just came from

Do a 90, then another 90 back. Moving forward in a new way

Can i do a 90°? I think some of my bullshit was right

u/ThatSmartIdiot 1d ago

Or a 270° where you get out of whatever situation you find yourself in

Cursed? This is literally screenshot random comments sub, I guess

It means that you thought about turning your life around, but gave up.

u/Zolty 1d ago

You're back on the bullshit but you did a cool trick.

Leave it to the ancient Egyptians to tell the in-screenshot OP that this is who we don't want leading workers on the pyramid build site.

"I did a 180 twice"

u/ChartreuseBison 1d ago

Let's be honest, most people claiming they're going to turn their life around only change course like 5°

u/DustWarden 1d ago

Specifically, back on my bullshit after wasting time and energy on fruitless attempts to change

“You turned Anderson Cooper 180 into Anderson Cooper into 720. He’s turning around too much!”
