I was certain this was satire until I saw it being reported through a number of reputable sources.

The dystopian future is here!   <:-)

Appropriate soundtrack while reading the article:

[Gusington]

^Will that kill me if I try to listen?

[al_infierno]

It'll only kill your hopes, dreams, motivation, and desire to live.

[Gusington]

^Joke's on you because all of mine are already dead.

Just finished the article and it is terrifying. I hope the device can be kept secure and not 'fall into the wrong hands' for life or death shenanigans.

At last! The perfect way to murder your spouse. "Honey, guess what I got you for Christmas"?

[Dammit Carl!]

???  Sure.  Why not.  Just why the hell not.

This meme comes to mind:

[Father Ted]

Oh come on

[Uberhaus]

Hmm, maybe it could be bundled with Sex with 3d Hitler.

[GDS_Starfury]

 :DD

[Gusington]

 :D

Wait how do you lose Sex With 3D Hitler?? 'The only way to win is not to play.'

[Sir Slash]

Right. At least Goring would send you flowers after. Maybe.

I think Ernst Rohm would have been very interested in this game.

[Sir Slash]

Yeah, that, 'Long Knife' turned-out NOT to be what he was thinking.  :hide:
