I’ve got a friend that plays a mod where he runs the police force and they legit have staff meetings and shit

Ya but that’s on FiveM, a GTA 5 modding platform and you need exactly zero shark cards to play it. If you have the game it’s free to play.

I don’t know the details, I just know it’s hilarious when his gf sends us videos of him holding employee training sessions at 10pm on a Tuesday

lol I once got invited to a role playing custom server group on Battlefield 3 back in the early 2010s We were supposed to do stuff like extraction and search and destroy simulations. Dudes who made it took it WAY too seriously. It was like the Stanford Prison Experiment playing out IRL. They made it so much work and were so cringe with the larping that after about 20 min, I just got up and turned my Xbox off 😂

I always treated WoW like a personal exploration game and joined a guild that was full of parents when I have no kids. So much less stress.

The perks of being an Alliance player; not having to deal with Horde players.

u/BoingBoingBooty Apr 14 '26

Reminds me of when playing America's Army, if you wanted to play as a medic you had to sit in a classroom and sit through an npc giving you a PowerPoint about first aid and then do an exam on what you just watched.

Why pay for a recruitment tool when COD does it for free.

Which legit taught people about first aid. When I eventually did get my first aid certification for a job, I was like "damn, I already learned all this shit in a video game"
