My favorite male fantasy that games allow me to realize is that of becoming a successful man despite not executing any meaningful work.
I played a similar game on Roblox: Dig to find dad.
The objective is to bomb your way some 3 kilometers downwards. When you reach the bottom you'll find a grocery store where the dad is shopping for milk. Talking to him reveals that he doesn't want to go home. I don't know if other endings are possible.
I don't know how to feel about this.
Is there an adult around? I mean, I'm an adult but like an ADULT adult.
I just want to play games where i am not a toxic shit head and still get to do violence
I wonder if you can fill it with beans.
Only after you line it with jeans.:-)
Bean hole.
And bacon and an epic narwhal. Especially at midnight XD
Yes, games about my instinctual longing for the mines. ⛏️
I know this is a meme but I’m really really hoping that top line is from a skit or something
Nope. It was a BuzzFeed thing about a very very feminist person talking about how gaming only appeals to men. I am feminist, and the piece still got a massive eyeroll from me. They cherry picked a few things and said because of those things gaming was only catering to men.
Worse is that they didn't tackle any actual issues going on in gaming. Just lame ragebait.
IIRC one of the examples was an NPC in GTA 5 making a sexist comment. In GTA 5, which is of course a parody of modern culture, completely out of context.

This game is actually great. I played through fully twice, it's rather short. Highly recommend if you like digging a hole and upgrading your hole digging ability.
What does it say about me that I'm actually interested in buying and playing this game?
You need a bigger yard. Or a better shovel.
Girls can like digging holes too. Sounds to me like someone is looking for something to hate, and really reaching here, unless there's something more subtle to this game (I doubt it).
Two questions. What is the surse of the top line? What is the source of the bottom line?
"A Game about digging a Hole" its well a game about digging a Hole in your backyard in the search for treasure.
Isn’t it bit racist to think only male dwarfs like to dig holes.
Can confirm. Am dwarf, I don't like holes. I like elves, fellowships and killing orcs. And my ax!
Seems like the kind of game Dankpods would play.
Rock and stone!
What was the original game actually shown to her that led to that video clip? Who chose the game, etc?
Meming this is totally justified though. You could easily say that about any and all entertainment media formats without even looking very hard for examples. Its just without knowing the original context I can't help but feel the woman got the short end of the stick with whatever show that was from.
She's watching a clip of GTA5 that takes place in a strip club.
This was a BuzzFeed video, Claudia Restrepo was a writer for Oscar Hates Sexism, and the video was something like "feminists play grand theft Auto"
The scenes were specifically chosen to illicit a reaction. I can't find the original video but from what I recall, were some of the worst in the game.
Builds character
