A tall single-panel comic. A huge cartoon speech bubble descends out of a blue sky over a gray city skyline, like a voice booming down from above. Below, a crowd of ordinary people stand in the street craning their heads up at it, looking worried or stunned. The enormous voice from the sky shouts: 'HOLY LIVING SHIT YOU GUYS THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE COOPERATIVE MODE WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!' A caption beneath the panel reads: 'We found out the universe was a simulation in the worst way possible.' The joke is that humanity learns reality is a video-game simulation only when its exasperated player scolds everyone for playing a co-op game competitively. Votey (aftercomic): the same giant sky-voice continues in a single bubble: 'AND WHY IS NOBODY USING THE SAVE-POINTS.?! SO MANY LIVES...', extending the gamer complaint to wasted lives and ignored checkpoints.
