My favorite male fantasy that games allow me to realize is that of becoming a successful man despite not executing any meaningful work.

Hey now, I said no meaningful work, not evil bullshit
I played a similar game on Roblox: Dig to find dad.
The objective is to bomb your way some 3 kilometers downwards. When you reach the bottom you'll find a grocery store where the dad is shopping for milk. Talking to him reveals that he doesn't want to go home. I don't know if other endings are possible.

I wonder if you can fill it with beans.
Only after you line it with jeans.:-)
O'Brian. 34,000 to teleport. Engage!
If the transporter mixed the jeans and the beans together, what would their name be? Bean? Jean? Bjean? Jbean?

Yes, games about my instinctual longing for the mines. ⛏️
I know this is a meme but I’m really really hoping that top line is from a skit or something
Nope. It was a BuzzFeed thing about a very very feminist person talking about how gaming only appeals to men. I am feminist, and the piece still got a massive eyeroll from me. They cherry picked a few things and said because of those things gaming was only catering to men.
Worse is that they didn't tackle any actual issues going on in gaming. Just lame ragebait.
IIRC one of the examples was an NPC in GTA 5 making a sexist comment. In GTA 5, which is of course a parody of modern culture, completely out of context.

Ugh so typical buzzfeed clickbait slop then. Thank you for explaining. /gen
Guess I’ll go back to putting up with all the male fantasy in the cat adventure game I’m playing 😂
I mean, first of all, how dare you.
Hey, how dare you mention a cat adventure game without naming it? Think about us others who want to fulfill our male fantasies that way!

Yet, oddly enough, their legitimate journalism arm (Buzzfeed News) was actually pretty great.

"This is why I hate RomComs, it appeals to the female fantasy."
(We can both say ridiculous things and be judgemental, or we can just let people like what they like. Not everything has to be "for you," nor "for everyone.")
This game is actually great. I played through fully twice, it's rather short. Highly recommend if you like digging a hole and upgrading your hole digging ability.

Two questions. What is the surse of the top line? What is the source of the bottom line?
"A Game about digging a Hole" its well a game about digging a Hole in your backyard in the search for treasure.
Relatable to kids everywhere trying to dig a hole to the other side of the world.
Do kids these days still do that? Pls someone research this
I grabbed a couple, but they won't answer. They just keep screaming.
Give me a little more time.
Edit: long story short, does anyone know a good lawyer?
You should try Legal Eagle. I hear he's great with legal woes stemming from digging holes that have nothing to do with the bodies that might be inside

I thought it was okay. It's pretty cheap at $5, but is probably only a few hours long.
That being said, digging a hole is a little thereaputic.
Girls can like digging holes too. Sounds to me like someone is looking for something to hate, and really reaching here, unless there's something more subtle to this game (I doubt it).
Girls can be great hole diggers, yes.
Hey, I ain't saying she's a hole digger
In the original she was talking about GTA and in this meme, the creator is joking
Wait. The meme is a joke... and shouldn't be taken seriously? Hmmm
From what I've seen, men absolutely love digging holes. Every summer on the beach it's the same: there's always men digging holes. They bring their kids to the beach just to have an excuse for digging a hole, a waterfort, some dams, ... For the kids ;)

Seems like the kind of game Dankpods would play.
Finally, a game about life decisions
