Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

I gotta know. It just looks so forced. In the most recent video I saw homie was "buying his first computer" and he was a "compsci professor" in cuba but never owned a computer/laptop.

This has to be fake, I've played games with ppl in Cuba and they had computers to play on. There's no way a compsci professor couldn't get a computer lmfao

Sorry to break it to you, but every Cuban you thought you interacted with on the internet was actually just the ghost of Castro possessing your PC.

That is even cooler

Also you have to see some of their other videos. Crying at Halloween, being amazed at a Walmart. Claiming that Cuba doesn't have "return policies". It's insane.

I've seen one video of a man crying because he saw gum (in cuba gum is 5 dollars) and being glad that it is so cheap in America, this stuff is not only propaganda, it's also a make feel good fetish, it's like those "I give homeless people noodles in my pickup truck) videos but with a propaganda twist.

This is a 5 year old look at gaming in Cuba, first hand.

That’s pretty neat to be honest that people set that up

Yeah I guess the compsci professor wanted nothing to do with it. I wish Drew could have kept making Cloth Map. Such a cool video series.

They also have public libraries with computers that are free to be used. Not to mention smartphones and even twitter access. This video is just pure bullshit.
