    the gas generator in an ostensibly air-tight bunker isn’t such a hot idea

      Are bunkers really air-tight ? Don’t they pump air through filters?

          Which would presumably include a filtration system that cleaned the air of bad stuff.

            Having a filtration system doesn’t mean it’s a good idea to create more pollution. In the same way that having a washing machine doesn’t mean it’s a good idea to start deficating in your pants.

            Even if you somehow managed to scrub out the CO2, you’d still run out of oxygen pretty quickly.

              Simple, get a miniature nuclear reactor to power the recycling of CO2 into O2 and C. You can then electrolize H2O to get more O and combine the H2 with the C from earlier to make gas for the generator.

        Yeah it only gets to be a problem when you have to change the filters. Otherwise any apocalypse that involves a significant loss of atmospheric oxygen or major change in composition ain’t something you can wait out, you gotta evolve past that.

    If they’d gone to that length, one would’ve thought they would have gotten games that didn’t require being always online, or researched, tested, and implemented workarounds.

          They’d have to be significantly involved with the community to be held responsible in any way - there’s been a long-standing law that protects service providers from culpability for what their users actually do with their services.

            Poker has all-in rules, which basically say if a player bets all their chips the other players can’t force them to bet more chips by raising their own bets. This is crucial for the balance of the game - without it, the moment a player gets a lead they could simply force all the other players to fold and automatically win every single hand - not matter what the cards are.

            The legal system does not work that way.

      I don’t want to out myself as a bunker nerd, but there’s two points here that are worth noting: all modern bunkers circulate exterior air (through an NBAC filter) specifically to avoid problems arising from “bad air”, and many bunkers have dedicated rooms for generating equipment that have entirely isolated air supplies to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, isolate fuel from ignition sources and so you can lock your traitorous brother in there and not have to listen to his pleading he knows what he did.

      When did Simpsons do it? There was a Futurama Scary Door episode that parodied it.

      Wasn’t aware of the Simpsons doing it, but I thought the Family Guy reference to it was really funny.
