Classic twilight zone episode!
In the next panel they die of asphyxiation from using a fuel-powered generator indoors.

I highly doubt that. A fuel-powered generator works by combustion, by making air oxygen and carbon in the fuel react to produce CO₂, harvesting the (heat) energy released by that exothermic reaction.
That’s why it produces the toxic CO₂ as well as using up oxygen, both of which is very dangerous in enclosed areas.
That’s a basic operating principle unrelated to efficiency, as the CO₂ is not a byproduct.

I don’t know where you’re getting these numbers from. What kind of generator are you talking about? Emissions change with power and fuel use.
The average US home uses 30kWh of electricity per day, with a 0.4l/kWh fuel consumption that would give us 12l of diesel consumption per day. Diesel has about 2.65kg/l of CO2 emissions, which for 12l would give us 31.8kg or 31,800g of CO2 per day.
The average US apartment is 82.4m2 big, with 2.5m of wall height this would give us a volume of 206m3 of air volume (disregarding furniture etc., realistically less). Air has a density of 1.3kg/m3, meaning we would have 267.8kg or 267,800g of air in this space.
The instantly harmful CO2 concentration is around 10%. This means in 267,800g+10% = 270,478g of air 10%, or 2,705g, of CO2 would need to be introduced. With 31,800g of CO2 generation per day, we would have an instantly harmful concentration of CO2 in about 2,705/31,800 = 0.08, 0.08*24h = 2.04h. You would be dead pretty quickly.
Not to mention CO, which would kill you even quicker.
Time to plug in my PS1 and wipe my old Crash Bandicoot 2 CD with ethanol
On the one hand, my SD2SNES has enough games to last a lifetime.
On the other hand, the CRT uses so much electricity I would never turn it in on an apocalypse.
and that’s why they say piracy is a service issue
if the game you purchase can’t be played without an internet connection, either always online or a once-in-a-while check in, but the game you pirate can always be played regardless of the status of your internet connection . . . one of those is clearly the better service
for example, if my internet connection is up, I’ll play an MMO. when it goes out, I’d like to play Skyrim, but oops, I haven’t loaded the game in the last 30 days and now it wants to check in with the Steam server . . . but it can’t because the internet is out. so i never get to play the game i bought - what good did it do me to purchase a legit version of Skyrim?
Skyrim is available from GOG, for what it’s worth, and if avoiding DRM is a top concern, you should consider buying from there instead of from Steam.
Spending one’s last days in a bunker doing whatever the hell you want (and could make happen in the bunker)… There are definitely worse ways to go.
My man forgot the mod chip.
(Except it’s a PC, not a console, so my joke makes less sense…)
the cracks
Unironically this would be so cool. Time to learn how to crack games, a way more fun pastime than just playing them
🙂
Fun fact:
A great number of games Epic has been giving away over the years is completely DRM-free. Go to PCGamingWiki and look up your gamesyeah ironically epic is probably a bigger drm free store than gog lol
(obviously not every game is drm free but most of them are)
And there’s been some big titles, too. Control, Death Stranding, Tomb Raider, The Batman Arkham games, just to name a few
jokes on u i dont play triple A games

Wait, so he only had internet only games installed in his computer?!
