You check the news,

  • The United States has just declared Iran it's #1 enemy
  • Everyone is talking about Linkin Park
  • A massive hurricane has just killed hundreds of people and caused billions of dollars of damage in the southeastern US
  • People are excited for the new Ridley Scott Gladiator movie
  • A political candidate just yelled "Leeerrooyy Jenkins!" on live TV

You sigh, boot up Runescape and put the new Smosh video on in the background.

It is 2024

Oh, also it is the year of the Linux desktop.

Linux is just a stopgap until GNU Hurd is ready

[-] PorkrollPosadist@hexbear.net 20 points 1 month ago

GNU Hurd doesn't even support amd64 yet shrug-outta-hecks

[-] dannoffs@hexbear.net 20 points 1 month ago

That's fine, we'll all be on Itanium in a couple years anyway.

Also Dick Cheney is relevant politically.

I'm pretty sure WoW has more subs than it's had in a while with the new xpac, but this isn't going to hit the demographic they think it is. Or maybe they're aiming for white suburban dads in their 30s.

I mean, I think that's the main audience for both campaigns typically.

[-] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 18 points 1 month ago

In their 50s and up more like

[-] hexaflexagonbear@hexbear.net 22 points 1 month ago

30s and 50s are the same age. If your knee hurts and remember golden era simpsons you're the same age.

[-] GlueBear@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago

GTA V came out when I was in highschool, and I remember playing it frequently.

Everyone that can say this is functionally the same age.

Watch them play as human paladins. They'll do it.

[-] Sted@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago

They could also go for an orc warrior so they can feel bad about all the genocide they're doing.

I mean, a world of warcraft is exactly what they aim to create, so it fits.

Be honest, there was no game that wasn't going to draw criticism

[-] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 31 points 1 month ago

they could have gone classic/retro and had somebody play tetris while giving a nod to that kid who just looped it.

personally, i would have gone with "Shower With Your Dad Simulator 2015", which would absolutely have taken over the news cycle for a week.

It was a campaign surrogate playing. The entire time it was in emotes only mode. Naturally 98% of the emotes were Palestine flags.

Can't wait for the next election where the Republican and Democrat candidates will do a live debate in ~~Space Station 13~~ Amongus

[-] CupcakeOfSpice@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago

Obviously they'll be playing Space Station 14 which could use more players and servers.

Five bucks they say “The World of Warcraft” at some point
