- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

the gas generator in an ostensibly air-tight bunker isn't such a hot idea
Are bunkers really air-tight ? Don’t they pump air through filters?
Unless they have a self circulating system
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.

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.
The factory can always grow, even without internet.
This guy gets it, just download the mod server before everything goes offline.
That's not fair. There was time now...
Oof. Still too soon.
In my heart, he later finds someone else's glasses, and sits reading happily on their makeshift grave.

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.

Boy I sure hope someone was fired for that blunder!
Time to pirate! WHAT? 0 seeds?!
Hey, if you've got the bunker and supplies, what's the point in waiting for n the apocalypse?
taxes, bills
There is a solution:
!piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com (Not accessible via lemmy.world instance)
Live free on the high seas! 🏴☠️
Also a good option: !switchpirates@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Cracking your Switch is extremely easy if you have one from 2017/18 that is in the right serial number range ^^
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.

be sure to switch to offline mode when the world ends
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.
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.
You mean that people that have built bunkers for decades have thought of these obvious problems more than people making quick snarky comments online? Shocking.

Well, that's on the guy. Plenty of games run with no internet.
Modern retelling of that Lloyd Bridges Twilight Zone episode. "Time Enough," I think it was? Simpsons did it too!

Had this same problems last night. Storm knocked out the internet so I booted up the Xbox with some old school borderlands 2 from disc. Nope requires internet to even start the game. This is some bullshit.
windows xp?!
The Mayan calendar was right! The world did end in 2012.

I'd never build a well stocked emergency bunker because I don't think I could live with the constant temptation to just go in, close the door and live in it.
I mean, arguably at that point it would stop being your emergency bunker and just be your home, right? So... I see no downside to any of this
Bruh that start bar looks like Windows XP from...(checks Old.exe) 23 years ago?

Plenty of time to teach yourself binary exploitation.
