dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

I would have absolutely played that.

I appreciate it! I thought it was a winner. Cards on the table, I need to level up my knowledge of the USSR before I could play with someone from Hexbear. My knowledge there is somewhere between pop history and [anti-authoritarian Westy] history fan. So, the setting was very much going to be in the vein of 80's movie USSR*. I wouldn't ask my players to have the patience to educate my dumb ass through being their MC.

*I mean, I didn't want to yap about my influences, but I realize how this reads. I wasn't going to paint the people in the USSR in a negative light. It's more like... Well, remember how often the FBI/USG would get in Mulder and Scully's way? Kinda like that, but with a 80's movie USSR flavor instead of US Govt "it's classified because defense contractors paid us off" vibes.
