Pretty sure its a reference to the glam metal band Dokken whose biggest hits in the US IIRC correspond to the 1983-1988 period, so it fits in with the Masters of the Universe / Thundercats era. There was a phrase at the time if you were going to rock out (not necessarily even musically) that you were "rockin' like Dokken*". So "rokken-like-Dökken" just changes the spelling of Rockin' to match Dokken and would be a more elaborate way to say "it's rockin'" or, you know, exciting and good. *I'm not sure Dokken is actually supposed to be pronounced correctly to rhyme with rockin'. Anyhow I do know people at the time did pronounce Dokken to rhyme with Rockin, because I've heard people say they were Rockin' like Dokken before.

"MythForce’s early access launch will include four playable heroes (apparently the ones in the trailer) in a rokken-like-Dökken first episode titled Bastion of the Beastlord. “Players can brave the dungeon alone or join forces with friends in online co-op mode for up to four people,” Beamdog said."

Shocked; that he was ill had passed me by entirely. https://variety.com/2022/film/news/gilbert-gottfried-dead-dies-comedian-aladdin-1235231387/- Funny Stuff Cantina
I've seen people say its a coin pocket as well, but functionally I too have never gotten that to work. Mind you in the US at least, 100 years ago coal miners would have been paid in company scrip rather than coins, and maybe that made a difference...?- The Cinema and Movie Thread

My understanding is that BBCode is considered to be depreciated/old technology by the makers of the board software. Most boards moved to WYSIWYG editors and HTML styling for posts, as I understand it.- Ukraine Conflict - Es ist nichts schrecklicher als eine tätige Unwissenheit
Technically, in the forum guidelines there's a prohibition of "Posting frequent, annoying, and/or nonsensical posts", but I think that primarily aimed at stopping spamming in general rather than trying to enforce it against general discussions. I'd think the ideal would be, as much as possible, to use the multiquote function, though.- Funny Stuff Cantina
You know, it kind of bugs me that people don't know what that pocket is (when proctoring I've had to tell people to run their finger through their watch pocket and have them stare at me as if I'd just begun gibbering). And I'm not all that up on the names of clothes and parts of clothes. Now I feel like I need to yell at some clouds or something. EDIT: I also hate when you don't quote a post that will be right above yours, but a page break puts your reply on another page so you have to go back and edit your post so that you preserve the context- Xbox WM2 (bugged)?: Can't Complete Lair of Eyeless and finish.

Using the theme song on this video reminded me that in the MISSION: IMPOSIBLE episode, "The Seal" (Season 2, Episode 9), the team actually uses a trained cat to help them retrieve some purloined Jade.- Anime and Manga - I respect the first human to have eaten a mushroom

Hmm, hadn't heard of Redline really. Or at least never watched a trailer for it. *watches trailer* When will companies learn that "from the studio that brought you ... Ninja Scroll..." isn't the recommendation they think it is? 😆 There's an interesting design aesthetic going on; not sure anything I see in the trailer really makes me want to rush out and see it though.
