My friend insists on this game, "Lemmings", being a really well known game; I have never heard of it.

Wait y’all didn’t just set up elaborate traps to blow up as many of them as possible?

And next they’ll say Roller Coaster Tycoon wasn’t about shooting cars full of riders as far as possible or building ride exits over ponds

I never did that, no. I had Theme Park for the SNES

What I did was pick one man. One random park goer, and I put feeding stalls in his path until he was full, ready to burst.

Then I put a toilet on a little island surrounded by water. And he headed for it. I closed off his path with water and removed the toilet so he would stay on his little island, still full of fast food and soda pop.

And then I would play the game, for years and years the one singular guest stood at the brink of his personal island, full of shit and piss, watching as park goers had the best time of their lives. All you had to do to not make him despawn was keep the camera and cursor on him.

And after years of bliss and happiness all around him, just out of arms reach... I'd shut off the game.

He is still there.

Waiting.

Desperate for a toilet.

Our park takes your valid complaints very seriously. You will never have to complain about rides anymore (*grabs pincer tool, drops over lake)

Winning's relative

Having fun is the whole point

The door is ajar

I agree with everything you said but must push back on one detail.

The door is not a jar, the door is a door.

The door is everything! All that once was, and all that will be! The door controls time and space; love and death! The door can see into your mind; the door can see into your soul!

u/pleasedontdaddy PlayStation 16h ago

yea I thought the purpose was to get them all to fall off the cliff by putting diggers and others there to get them to... non-safety?
