    Hey, if you’ve got the bunker and supplies, what’s the point in waiting for n the apocalypse?

        Yeah it only gets to be a problem when you have to change the filters. Otherwise any apocalypse that involves a significant loss of atmospheric oxygen or major change in composition ain’t something you can wait out, you gotta evolve past that.

          Which would presumably include a filtration system that cleaned the air of bad stuff.

            Having a filtration system doesn’t mean it’s a good idea to create more pollution. In the same way that having a washing machine doesn’t mean it’s a good idea to start deficating in your pants.

            Even if you somehow managed to scrub out the CO2, you’d still run out of oxygen pretty quickly.

              Simple, get a miniature nuclear reactor to power the recycling of CO2 into O2 and C. You can then electrolize H2O to get more O and combine the H2 with the C from earlier to make gas for the generator.

    Better to realize the value of drm free and sellers like GOG before that time then

    If they’d gone to that length, one would’ve thought they would have gotten games that didn’t require being always online, or researched, tested, and implemented workarounds.

    If it’s gonna be a primary source of entertainment for the foreseeable future, you’d better make damn well fucking sure you can maintain it for as long as you play it. H/w and s/w.

      Pardon me mister or misses. But in my naivity, I was under the impression that the comic above, perhaps, was intended for humoristic purposes, and therefore might not be an accurate reflection of reality.

        Absolute nonsense!

        Literally every single thing posted to the Internet is 100% serious and factual, including both your comment and my own.

        Fun science fact! Mickey mouse performs ritual sacrifices to keep the earth rotating.

        Meh - there’s plenty of decent handheld gaming PCs that are far better choices at this point - you can use emulators to run Switch games, and a virtually endless range of games from other platforms as well.

          They’d have to be significantly involved with the community to be held responsible in any way - there’s been a long-standing law that protects service providers from culpability for what their users actually do with their services.

            Poker has all-in rules, which basically say if a player bets all their chips the other players can’t force them to bet more chips by raising their own bets. This is crucial for the balance of the game - without it, the moment a player gets a lead they could simply force all the other players to fold and automatically win every single hand - not matter what the cards are.

            The legal system does not work that way.

    Well… if he’s running a generator inside a enclosed bunker, he won’t have much time to regret the lack of games.

      I don’t want to out myself as a bunker nerd, but there’s two points here that are worth noting: all modern bunkers circulate exterior air (through an NBAC filter) specifically to avoid problems arising from “bad air”, and many bunkers have dedicated rooms for generating equipment that have entirely isolated air supplies to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, isolate fuel from ignition sources and so you can lock your traitorous brother in there and not have to listen to his pleading he knows what he did.

    If it makes it any better, this way he might actually notice the generator exhausting fumes in his limited air.

      With that, the low quality food and the failure to select and prepare offline-compatible games, this is clearly the worst prepper ever.
