6-panel Loading Artist comic. 1: “The world just ended. And I couldn’t be happier!” Blue shirt guy grins at a nuclear blast outside his bunker. 2: “Fuel? Plenty.” He admires his fuel barrels. 3: “Snacks? Stocked.” He opens a soda beside shelves of junk food. 4: “Responsibilities? None.” He relaxes into a beanbag with headphones. 5: “Finally! The perfect gaming session begins now!” 6: Screen says: “Failed to authenticate. Check your Internet connection.”

All this doomsday prep and he couldn’t be bothered to buy games from GOG before the nukes fell? Oh well, deserves it for trusting DRM launchers HA
Tap for Spider
Third panel, upper right, on the shelf with the bags of chips.
I wanna play Apple Mongers
Burning a gas generator inside a bomb shelter? At least he won’t have to live with his disappointment for long.
Why not opt for a solar panel and power bank combo?
Might be a cloudy nuclear winter
Supplement it with a wind turbine…
Maybe that way he’ll die before the back pain from the beanbag chair gets him.
Laughing in thousands of retro games
You must also remember to download Ghidra and debugging tools haha
Jokes on you my singleplayer games will run fine with no Internet!
*laughs in DRM*
Just because a game is single player doesn’t mean squat these days. If your computer cannot connect to server to authenticate the license at least periodically then you’re fucked.
Unless you pirate or get it from GOG or other DRM-free sources. Steam DRM is at least indefinite so long as you have launched the game at least once though.
Anyone who hoards for a doomsday event would pirate every piece of digital media.
Yeah i wouldn’t know i dont play any games that require login to play singleplayer, if i buy one without realizing on steam it’s an instant refund and uninstall
It’s fine, he’s got the generator inside, he’ll die from carbon monoxide in like an hour.
Luckily, I have a fuckton already.
Fuel expires.
Meh, it expires as far as it’s not good for your car anymore and gets the engine dirty, but in this case you just steal another car nobody around who cares if the car breaks down in 1,000 miles
Harder to find a generator I’d say
Piracy is a matter of survival.
Ooh, I like it. It’s a modern version of the Twilight Zone episode Time Enough at Last. Which might be more familiar to modern audiences by its Futurama parody via an episode of “The Scary Door.”
Interestingly, somebody made a short video showing key moments of the two stories side-by-side. Futurama - Scary Door, Twilight Zone
Youre staring at a rectangle, reading a post left by another human being, or perhaps a robot. Some of the text is blue. You find yourself drawn towards it. If your thumb makes contact you might find yourself watching a clip of…The Scary Door.
It turns out it’s man.
This is a masterful post. No notes.
Well, one note. Apparently that link triggered a “we detected unusual activity from your computer” page that I had to click through. But honestly, that makes it even funnier.
Twilight Zone spoiler
Well played, Sir/Madam/Honourable Shitposter. Well played.
Genny just running in an enclosed space?
Won’t have to worry about no internet for that long then
Maybe he’s running an absolutely stupid overbuilt ventilation system
Minecraft hardcore but I have carbon monoxide poisoning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Wow0tjOvxg
The gaming session was gonna get real intense for a while
Piracy always wins
I made my own doomsday gaming stick. A one terabyte HP 911 pro stick filled with all sorts of games that are plug and play, all neatly categorized. I had an idea to start making copies and selling them on dark web markets, but honestly not worth the risk.
Maybe you’re already aware, but even digital storage decays over time, both SSD and HDD. Granted, it’s a decently long time, but worth keeping in mind for an “In case of Apocalypse” media storage device.
I might reevaluate my risk assessment and consider including other media. It’s right in there with weed in terms of both risk and reward, in that you’ll probably have fun/make a lot of people happy but definitely still need other means of support. There’s a guy doing exactly what you’re talking about at pretty much every educational institution for starters, and the risk is essentially being told to stop
Make a torrent
Carbon monoxide sends its regard. Don‘t run a fuel emergency generator indoors.
Nah it’s a good way to go before you run out of water.
Nothing like a good nap after a gaming session
