The factory can always grow, even without internet.

This guy gets it, just download the mod server before everything goes offline.

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

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

taxes, bills

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.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago

be sure to switch to offline mode when the world ends

The spider in this one is rather sneaky. Haha

[–] TheRealLinga@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 days ago

Yes, took me a while!

[–] Pencilnoob@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Spider? Is there always one?

[–] Martineski@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 6 days ago

Yeah, artist hides one in their comics.

spoilerIt's on the shelf, top right.

Modern retelling of that Lloyd Bridges Twilight Zone episode. "Time Enough," I think it was? Simpsons did it too!

[–] soul@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I think you mean Burgess Meredith and it was Time Enough at Last.

[–] TotalFat@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Wow I really butchered that one! Thanks for the correction.

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 6 points 6 days ago

When did Simpsons do it? There was a Futurama Scary Door episode that parodied it.

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.

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.

[–] Linedotdatdot@lemmynsfw.com 8 points 6 days ago

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

The Mayan calendar was right! The world did end in 2012.

[–] Jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 days ago

But with the windows 95 my computer icon

Call me crazy, but I would miss my League of Legends.

Call me crazy, but they sound crazy.

Find something to hate all you want, but the major Bethesda releases into today with a bunch of mod profiles could keep me in offline paradise for decades.

And it's a bitch to get working right, and takes mods to do so, but you get Skyrim VR the working properly, and you won't miss any of the modern live service bullshit.

Solitaire and Mines it is then! Well, maybe a bit of Mahjong too.

Edit: Hey wait a minute! I got FreeDoom too! An eternity of gaming!
