Just be depressed and you'll sleep all day.

You have been afflicted with insomnia

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

depressed insomniac... I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Can I be your worst enemy?

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 3 points 3 weeks ago

Sadly I have to work…

[–] it_depends_man@lemmy.world 50 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I am so glad that this meme has this amount of staying power, and the way it's being used. Well done.

[–] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 weeks ago

I love it. It combines my resentment of misogyny in video game culture with the things I care about in everyday life such as sleep.

[–] HexesofVexes@lemmy.world 26 points 3 weeks ago

Yep, that was a very much my fantasy. 9 hours of sleep, with an alarm of "stop right there criminal scum".

[–] saltnotsugar@lemm.ee 22 points 3 weeks ago

Roll a d6…this is how many times you have to get up to pee during that sleep. Shouldn’t have drank 10 health potions huh?

[–] Linktank@lemmy.today 20 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

How dare people seek out fantasy fulfillment. Definitely worthy of HATING the genre. What a troglodyte.

[–] Genius@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't think strip clubs "fulfill" anyone. They seem like a really bad time for sad and lonely men

[–] faythofdragons@slrpnk.net 3 points 3 weeks ago

Where else am I gonna meet my fixer to set up this job?

[–] caboose2006@lemm.ee 16 points 3 weeks ago

This is an endlessly memeable format

Fortunately, I just recieved a bag of magic beans from the local apothecary to help me with with restful sleep!

... hdroxyzine beans ... funny name, I wonder what realm they are from...

EDIT:

Also, to everyone in this comment thread freaking the hell out... this is a joke meme.

The original top half of this is from a Buzzfeed video from a decade ago, featuring gameplay of ... well, some Grand Theft Auto game, beating up strippers.

It has since been a meme template for a decade.

The original video didn't even mention fantasy games as a genre or anything.

In fact you'll now probably find a whole, whole lot of LGBTQ+ people, as well as cis/het people, agreeing that Baldurs Gate 3 is actually pretty awesome.

Man I wish. Anything more than seven and a half and my day feels wasted. Anything less and I'm exhausted

[–] Underwaterbob@lemm.ee 11 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

OMG, I just realized she looks exactly like "GIVE HIM A TICKET" lady.

This is why I hate video games. It lets you not use your signal.

[–] utopiah@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

The fuck did I just watch...

Well, thanks I guess, made me chuckle. Enough random Internet videos for me today! (he says confidently yet we all know he'll be back here 5min after closing his tab)

[–] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 7 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

if you're reducing ALL video games to nothing but hentai anime dating sims, then you're not making a point, you're just making yourself look like an asshole

but also, who cares what games people play, or why they play them? or are you going to sit there and try to say males aren't allowed to fantasize about T&A? LOL good. fucking. luck.

[–] nichtburningturtle@feddit.org 16 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

Misandrists don't need a reason to hate. They invent one. Same goes for misogynists.

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 9 points 3 weeks ago

Misanthropes, however, can just gesture vaguely at society in general and be proven right.

[–] Genius@lemmy.zip 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

This is just my personal opinion and I could be wrong, but I think women who've been catcalled by adult men since they started growing breasts at 12 years old, have a... Well not good, but understandable reason for hating men. I understand where they're coming from better than I understand any misogynist.

[–] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

toxic masculinity is bad for males too. so many dudes i know are still stuck in that high school boy mindset, and don't understand, at middle age, why they make everyone cringe and can't seem to sustain a happy healthy relationship

[–] Genius@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, the patriarchy is bad for everyone. Misogynistic men rail against their own liberation because the women are gaining slightly more than they're gaining. Enlightened men welcome the fact that being sensitive, caring, thoughtful, and in love with your partner is now socially acceptable. It's the 21st century and men are now allowed to cry when they feel sad. This is great news. Way better than strip clubs.

[–] Nelots@lemm.ee 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

TBF, her original comment was about being able to beat up strippers in GTA5, not about T&A specifically. Not that the context makes it any better. You can beat up just about anything in GTA, taking issue with specifically the strippers is just looking for things to be mad about.

[–] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 13 points 3 weeks ago

lol that makes it even worse. so every "male fantasy" = beat up women? gtfo...

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

OK sweetheart how long do you usually sleep? 12? 14? Like a cat 16 or more?

[–] Aux@feddit.uk 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I can only wish that my cat slept for 16 hours...

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Well not so much in a contiguous block

[–] Aux@feddit.uk 3 points 3 weeks ago

My cat just wants to play non-stop. When she was a kitten, I played like 4-5 hours per day with her, that was exhausting as fuck. She got calmer these days, but instead of sleeping she just cuddles non stop, or watches cat TV through the window, or plays alone. Some days she sleeps less than I do.

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

I get 9 hours on average. It's not enough.

No amount is enough.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 weeks ago

Wait, isn't this from Clickhole?
