"Welcome to the Circus of Values!"

Previously, these vending machines likely sold more appropriate items for the public until the Civil War hit Rapture. Then, the inclusion of ammunition and healing materials would make them very convenient.

yea

I legitimately can’t tell if this is the fucking onion or not

[-] Castor_Troy@hexbear.net 17 points 2 months ago

It's the AP. About as far from the onion as you can get.

Blue Stinger for the Dreamcast, a game that came out in 2001, had gun vending machines in a shopping mall that played Christmas music.

No shit i have that on my retroid and will fire it up right now since I don't think I've played it yet

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

Lovely little b-movie homage of a game. It tries to be Resident Evil but fails but still comes out ahead with it's charm.

Using the transitive property, this means free ammo

Interior: non descript American grocery store

A huge line of various American citizen tropes, incl. cowboy, New England longshoremen, Hawaiian shirt tourist, old west prospector, Wall St stock broker, high school jock in letterman jacket, large woman in mobility scooter, hippie in tie dye shirt, biker, LA socialite with Chihuahua in a purse, Amish, etc etc all looking annoyed standing behind an old Abe Simpson-esque man holding up the line by paying for his daily $50 worth of ammo in dimes.

"Are you tired of arriving at a potential massacre site, ready to go, only to realize you left your ammo at home?! Hi, Billy Mays here..."

Rolling up to the pre-k ready to put some toddlers in coffins for the good of the white race only to find someone beat you to the punch: The American way

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

The company says that their vending machines have "built-in AI technology, card scanning capability and facial recognition software."

Lmao. By the way, the machines are only in a couple of deep red states right now. You know, states with virtually no gun control laws and you can buy ammo without any sort of hoops to jump through.

This machine basically exists solely as red meat for conservatives because it’s just a ridiculous concept, and they will defend it uncritically even if they’re being charged 5x than if they just bought a box at a gun store because it uses some LLM to talk to you
