    A father turned himself into a cursed federal reserve/IMF combo and is confused when it results in destabilization.

    By issuing currency, of course!

            People set up private servers and then sell use of admin commands or mods for real money. Stuff like 100 diamonds spawned in for $5. If course mods make it more seamless by implementing currency systems directly into the game, but the basic premise is selling in game power for real money. It’s extremely popular to do this in other games like Rust and Ark as well

        I like video games myself but honestly think I probably won’t let my kids play them (and won’t myself then either of course) or at least until they would be like 10. I don’t see any good coming out of that. Same thing with television to be honest

          I think if I have kids I’m gonna break out the old consoles in order, so that they have an appreciation for the history and because it’ll probably be a self-limiting hobby due to looking like shit compared to anything on a phone

            I think that the console issue might be that if you aren’t used to the newer stuff then it still seems great. Even with the 2600, you can play for a very long time and enjoy it. Definitely not as addictive for people as the modern gambling games played by a lot of kids

              Up until the early-mid 90s there were the lingering effects of arcade-oriented design where shit was super hard to get your quarters, but yeah even that’s not so bad compared to the newer shit that takes your quarters digitally.

    Pool the toilet dollars into a central fund that can only be drawn down with the consent of all of the children. Put an expiry date on all toilet dollars so if they can’t agree they all get nothing.

    It’ll either force them to work together or teach them how best to bicker over the will of their estranged father.

        Seriously, there’s ideology happening here. There are two factions, the skibidi toilets and the machine agents, locked in an escalating arms race which gradually destroys the entire world they’re fighting over. The toilets have human heads grotesquely warped but toilet bodies while the agents have human bodies which are always in businesswear but machine heads, specifically machines of surveillance and propaganda (security cameras, televisions, and loudspeakers). The toilets primarily use physical attacks or eye lasers while the agents use more and more machines attached to their bodies. The toilets can parasitize the agents, but the agents quickly develop technological countermeasures.

        The perspective is always that of an agent.

        What does this say about surveillance, about government, about war and revolution and humanity? I don’t know but it’s not nothing.

        THANK YOU! This answered questions my teen had about a conversation he overheard, and it absolutely delighted me. Idk what it says about me that I love this, but I super do.

          it means you were either on the internet circa 2007 and enjoyed youtube poops and garry’s mod videos, or you’re about to learn about and enjoy them

      Gmod animator made a thing, shit blew up with children and now we’re here and are kinda forced to exist with low quality bullshit that gets peddled to kids by every greedy son of a removed. DaFuq!?Boom! is the guy who originally made this and I appreciate his creativity with what he has even if it’s not everyone’s cup of tea.

        I love that this weird shit blew up! There’s something truly magical about a weirdo finding their niche and audience.

          Hey I’m all for it too. I grew up with weird, abstract and surrealist Gmod animations. I love them with all my heart. CrazyScoutFin, Eltorro64Rus, Kitty0706 and more. Good shit, and it makes me happy to see younger generations enjoy the same slop I did! For better or for worse lmao
