Reminds me of the "Island Sanctuary" feature added to Final Fantasy XIV, where you were promised your very own tropical paradise to visit and decorate. Ended up being little else to do there other than build and manage factories.

Legit answer: It's the best selling on-going comic of all time, and for good reason. The author has an incredible knack for writing, comedy and world building. At first it all seems quite basic and irreverent, but as the story progresses it not only becomes more involved and compelling, but you start to understand that more and more of what happened before is actually deeply significant to the overall story. I think it's up somewhere around 1000 named characters in the series now, and the majority of them are actually very well written no matter how short their appearance is, with many continuing to have a place in the grand narrative.

They're not bugs, they're features.

Or they just read forums like this.

Using old vodka bottles for water.

Then some massive org like the NSA creates/captures 51% of the nodes and takes everyone's money overnight.

Monetize

And this is exactly why we won't actually get any new special projects, because anything which can't be easily monetized will be treated as competition and ruined deliberately, and anything which can be easily monetized will be purchased and worn like a skin suit by greedy corpos the way the current Internet is being used.

Not to be taken seriously at all, but the mental image of Jews being kicked out of their own country is hilarious.

Hey man, they turned a FULL 360 degrees and didn't see one single act of genocide being committed in Gaza.

13,950 of them were made almost entirely with default assets on RPGmaker.

It worked pretty well for what it was created to do, then corporations and governments thought they could profit off of it. I assume they were also concerned that people were starting to talk about things they didn't want people to talk about, like their penchant for buying and selling children.
