Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

I resisted posting this in THAT thread, but I had to post it somewhere.

Huh. I never noticed that. He definitely doesn't get roasted for doing that the way Liefeld does. Of course, unlike Liefeld, Frazetta understood anatomy much better generally (some body parts more than others, of course).

Boobs! You mean boobs!

I just wanted to say boobs.

I'm not worried about living in a simulation. I am, however, worried that the future we seem to be heading toward isn't one I want to live in. If we're lucky, we'll get a WALL-E style future, where we've trashed our planet but those of us who've survived don't need to work because we've got robots that will do everything for us. If we're not lucky, we'll either get 1984 or The Terminator or some unholy combination of the two.

Paranoia RPG. The unholy combination is Paranoia RPG

OK. I've heard of that one but have never played it, so I'll have to take your word for it. I suppose another option is Westworld's future, where people's lives are predetermined by an AI that also actively prevents them from deviating from that path ~ and when that AI is overthrown, the ensuing chaos allows the sentient robots people also created to take over and turn humans into nanobot-controlled slaves.

I swear some of today's techbros watched that show and thought "Let's do that!" instead of "We should make sure that can never happen!"

You’re trapped in a sealed underground complex that’s controlled by a centuries old malfunctioning “AI”. You must follow its orders to the letter or risk punishment up to and including instant execution. Its orders are often self-contradictory and impossible to follow. Various “high programmers” have access to the “AI” and reprogram it to do what they want. They are the heads of their own warring factions. So the “AI” has the personality of a Cold War Clippy. The “AI” uses agents called troubleshooters to hunt and kill mutants and secret society members. You play as a troubleshooter who is both a mutant and a member of a secret society. Good luck.

It's great when 'this is an unlikely extrapolation for purposes of satire' becomes 'oh no, yeah'.

It's never going to happen. There's no way a powerful man won't find a way to trade his wife for a younger and hotter one, or more. Specially among these circles that statistically rush to establish polygamy for the elites the moment they can.
