dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Critical support for more cinematic portrayals of climactic moments of hubris among billionaires with god complexes that lead to mortal realization.

may I interest you in Shadowrun

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's the problem: there isn't nearly enough hubris payoff in Shadowun, usually. Dragonfall comes to mind. doomer

When it's a CRPG from Harebrained as the technical GM, what am I supposed to do?

(my own tabletop group prefers vanilla fantasy D&D slop)

[–] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

shrugs in I haven't solved this problem and since leaving uni finding a regular group has gotten a lot harder

re: HBS game, did you play the people's university user created adventure?

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I may need to check that out.

I think it's CalFree In Chains (I'm at work atm), the setting is during the Japanese fascist occupation of California and you fight out of a university that's sheltering a bunch of refugees.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

That sounds pretty wiz.

Could be the Modern Day Greek Tragedy of Hubris.

When it's bazinga billionaires in a self-designed submarine with a fucking game controller, it's more farce.

[–] TheChemist@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

It would be even better if, in a dramatic recreation of the submarine explosion, they included as a prop, the exact same model of controller that they used.
