Shooting cops is like the least evil thing you can do in gta

[-] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 13 points 7 months ago

You could blow up Zuck's head in 5

You can shoot US soldiers too.

Didn't like doing crime that threatened capital.

What a fucking weenie. This jackass has a platform to talk about appreciating art and fiction, but can't even engage with an opening tutorial. Why do people idolize him?

Why do they think he's a rebel or punk rock?

Too much virtue signalling in video games discourse these days

Smh

Since Dan didn't list all the GTA titles, he might as well be showing off how well he can count to 6. And of course we are all very impressed with his abilities. Good for Dan, counting all the way to 6 on his own. Who's a big boy, Dan is, Dan's a very big boy.

And second, imagine being so out of touch that you went into GTAV not aware that you will probably have to do crime... and then use that as an excuse to dunk on the game when you come from a crime family.

Lie about playing a game for internet clout lol.

A manchild in its literal form. Now I know why I hate the way he speaks so much. Not just on twitter but in real life too. It’s reminiscent of a child at a dinner table trying to impress the adults by being “aware of big people problems”

He had all the money in the world. But all he wanted was the one thing money couldn't buy.

[-] zifnab25@hexbear.net 7 points 7 months ago

Dude has an insane base of dipshit followers who gloom onto him and worship his every footstep. He also maybe possibly has, like, a baby-making ranch full of women he's conned into being his baby-mamas, a few of which sincerely adore him (at least, per TrueAnon).

He's even bought that. He's still not happy, though, cause his cravings constantly exceed his rate of consumption.

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 32 points 7 months ago

Why the fuck would you play GRAND THEFT AUTO if you don't like crime? It's like "FELONY: the vidyagame"

[-] silent_water@hexbear.net 14 points 7 months ago

Elon is too busy going to Mars to read trivial things like titles. they're much too complex and require far too much mental capacity to possibly extend his limited remaining energy towards. very-intelligent

[-] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 30 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

My most chill memories of GTA5 are of using that one subway station in hollywood as an endless bacon smoker. Only one entrance, narrow choke points, multiple fallback positions... that bulletproof glass elevator is such a good spot that the shooting usually only ended when I got bored.

[-] Monk3brain3@hexbear.net 30 points 7 months ago

Everything he does is in some way pandering to a group of people. total conman (as in like total football lolk)

Cops are the only employees he has qualms about harming.

[-] zifnab25@hexbear.net 13 points 7 months ago

Hardly. Dude's probably hacked a COVID-infused lung onto a thousand members of his security detail by now.

[-] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 7 points 7 months ago

Concerning.

[-] Hohsia@hexbear.net 28 points 7 months ago

Exploiting people’s livelihood for profit is fine with me but shooting cops in video games is where I draw the line

[-] zifnab25@hexbear.net 17 points 7 months ago

$50 on the table, I'm betting Elon picked up the game, tried to do crimes, failed miserably, and decided Aktuly Doing Crime Not Cool.

[-] LENINSGHOSTFACEKILLA@hexbear.net 15 points 7 months ago

considering his elden ring build, this is almost definitely the truth.

[-] anonochronomus@hexbear.net 7 points 6 months ago

He was just trying to brag about playing a mobile game for children , so yeah likely.

Isn't this Bozo a fan of Cyberpunk 2077? You do crimes in that game, both by in-universe standards and current ones

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 18 points 7 months ago

Ah but you see in CP2077 you are a subcontractor for the cops, so (some) of that murder is actually legal!

[-] usernamesaredifficul@hexbear.net 26 points 7 months ago

Elon the game is called Grand Theft Auto what did you think it was going to be about

[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 21 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

What a giant fucking nerd God damn.

Elon shouldn't get the wall he should literally be swirlyed to death.

How does this not pierce the veil for his fan boys this is like 65+ diner patron target audience.

All the people who love how much of an epic troll he is have deffinitely been playing gta 6 since they were 10.

[-] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 8 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Dude should've been entombed in spitballs like a Pompeii victim by now

Who is he trying to impress with this weird lie?

[-] BurnedDonutHole@lemmy.ml 19 points 7 months ago

Tell me you're lying without telling me you're lying.

[-] CarbonScored@hexbear.net 18 points 6 months ago

So he's never played a game in which you kill people? i.e. most of them

Or is the argument that cops are better than other people?

[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 9 points 6 months ago

Wasn't he literally trying to brag about the graveyards full of bodies thanks to him like last week.

Somehow both of those things are equally embaressing.

[-] poppy_apocalypse@hexbear.net 17 points 7 months ago

The elmo rehabilitation tour. The only gtas he didn't play were san Andreas and v because they were set in la, or maybe another reason

[-] SoyViking@hexbear.net 16 points 6 months ago

This is probably the most pathetic loser take anyone has ever had on GTA. This take makes "GTA makes the kids do crime!" sound cool.

[-] mushroom@hexbear.net 14 points 6 months ago

this feels like a mis-read of american chud culture by the two non-americans in the screenshot. most chuds don't like cops in and of themselves; they like what they represent, and what they do: subjugate the people they consider their enemies, ie people of color, women, the poor, etc. most chuds born after 1965 who aren't trad caths or whatever don't seem to care about killing cops in games - or even in real life, really, as long as the people doing the killing are fellow chuds. look at how they talk about the ATF and FBI.

i'd bet that most chuds who can still derive enjoyment from things other than 40 minute youtube webcam vids made by pederasts like games like GTA because they can be the ones to kill the virtual POC, sex workers etc. Just go online and see how many posts there are about people killing the suffragette in RDR 2. sure, some of them are mad that the games are too woke or whatever, but killing cops really doesn't seem to play into that so much as them having characters that are nonwhite and women.

I wonder what his opinion on the mission "No Russian" from Modern Warfare 2 (the original, not the remake).

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
