The percentage of Americans in the prison system, prison system, has ~~doubled~~ nearly tripled since 1985.

Atomicrops is also worth checking out if you want more Gungeon than Vampire Survivors.

It's so strange that you clearly understand the intent of the comic, but are still getting wound up by something you admit the comic isn't saying at all.

I always hate this viewpoint that if someone doesn't understand what someone else is saying on a website designed to facilitate conversation, they should Google it instead of asking.

Aside from that, it really makes you look like a heel for using jargon and chiding other people for not knowing it.

It gets really good after 10 ~~hours~~ thousand dollars.

I'll usually wish service workers good luck or "the best day possible" which at least gets a knowing smile.

I'm super for real, and now that you mention it, wouldn't be surprised if I found out the book was written while on drugs.

The book is incredible and I heartily recommend everyone read it just for how batshit insane it is. Here's a taste:

Book SpoilersIn the book, the speech during the March on Washington doesn't happen. Instead, Forrest joins the march and is egged into throwing his Medal of Honor away in protest. It hits a senator and he's arrested. He is offered a deal to join NASA to avoid jail time. He is sent into space with a monkey and female astronaut. The monkey pees on the controls and they land in the rainforest. They're captured by natives. When rescue comes the woman decides to stay, and it's implied it's because she's screwing the natives.

He has a stint as a Professional Wrestler and The Creature from Black Lagoon.

Also, Bubba doesn't die.

spoiler

It's total insanity. Full of blue humor and raunchy sex. Is it good? Not particularly. Is it interesting? Absolutely.

Again, strongly recommend everyone read it. It truly is a trip.
