    Onion type sites should really have a tag in the OP, cause not everyone knows all those sites… I never heard of this one until right now. and since most people don’t read the article, just take off running from the title… Definitely need some kind of tag or [Onion] in the title or something.

      That’s literally the mechanism by which satire works?

      Adding a tag removes that which makes satire… satire.

        Dude.

        Do you not realize the world we live in now? That we’ve been in for over a decade?

        Satire is dead.

        Real news is almost always more ridiculous than anything satirist can cook up anymore.

        When you consider how bethesda was actually and frantically replying to negative reviews or their position on the criticism of starfield, This news article doesnt actually stand out as outlandish or unrealistic.
