rockstar satire might be cooked

Old GTA radio made fun of people, not just apps. The fake ads had some absolute loser explaining his entire worldview while you drove to a gun store. Now I worry every joke will be an NPC filming vertically, saying influencer words, then falling into a fountain. Social media parody is already exhausted by the time you notice it. Give me radio hosts with terrible advice. Billboards for products that sound almost useful. A rich guy who keeps renaming the same scam. Let the joke build instead of having a pedestrian yell the punchline. If every funny moment is just look, phones are weird, the comedy is cooked.

ammu-nation was never subtle. the issue is whether the obvious joke has a good character saying it

exactly. obvious can be funny. one more influencer falling into water is not a character
