Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

You can't even buy ammo from a vending machine in GTA. You still need to go to a gun store for that in the game. You can tell Rockstar have been slacking when real life gets ahead of their satirical game.

We are in the Borderlands timeline, Gearbox should put decals on the machines for the perfect movie tie in.

That’s because GTA often takes place in California

Or New York City.

GTA Vice City has no excuse, though.

In Cyberpunk 2077, you can buy a gun from some vending machines. It is made out of plastic and cannot be reloaded, but it's a real gun. In this case, I'd say reality outdid the sarcasm.
