This has all the feel of a 1999 magazine game ad.

Look, I had a good run going on. I gambled that the kid would survive being hit by my car.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago

They absolutely should run this in some papers

This perfectly captures the spirit of an early 2000s gaming magazine ad

Aye was my exact thought. Something I'd see in a comic book

I miss good old fashioned photoshops not AI generated

Your comment made me want to compare it

Both drivers on the left-side are playing card games as well. (⊙_⊙)

I love the Google Play banner with the distorted Apple logo.

[–] amon 5 points 5 days ago

That steam logo is not bad at all

I'm not saying you are wrong, I'm genuinely curious what makes you think this is AI. Feel like I've missed something.

Edit: you know what. Nevermind. I definitely missed something 😄

[–] amon 20 points 6 days ago

It's not AI. Regular photoshops are so rare nowadays so it's nice for a change

The biggest gamble is the one where the kid plays in the middle of a 4 lane highway.

[–] BigPotato 10 points 6 days ago

There's a sidewalk on the left of the screen, by regulation a "highway" shouldn't have a sidewalk so therefore the kid is likely playing in a boulevard or something else with a dividing median.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Not a highway.

This is America, check the liscense plate dimensions.

This is yet another high speed 'stroad', a street with too many lanes, with speed limits at or approaching highway speeds, yet is right inside a residential area (townhouses or apartments on the left, park with sidewalk on the right), that has enough intersections to cause massive traffic during most hours of day, but not enough intersections to allow pedestrians to cross it without walking half a mile, and takes 30+ seconds to walk across at an actual walking pace.

He thought he had a 1 in 4 chance to not get hit

[–] MrMcGasion 7 points 1 week ago

Based on Wheel of Fortune also being 1 in 4, those are pretty good odds.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

X3 Mul if Hit by a Tesla

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

2 in 4 if he had the dice.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

probably just a 4 lane one way street

I play Balatro at work, I play it on transport, I play while walking, I play while shitting, while watching TV and if I could play while cooking, I would do it

I love how the copyright text just devolves into insanity the more you read it
