Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

I gotta know. It just looks so forced. In the most recent video I saw homie was "buying his first computer" and he was a "compsci professor" in cuba but never owned a computer/laptop.

This has to be fake, I've played games with ppl in Cuba and they had computers to play on. There's no way a compsci professor couldn't get a computer lmfao

Also you have to see some of their other videos. Crying at Halloween, being amazed at a Walmart. Claiming that Cuba doesn't have "return policies". It's insane.

I've seen one video of a man crying because he saw gum (in cuba gum is 5 dollars) and being glad that it is so cheap in America, this stuff is not only propaganda, it's also a make feel good fetish, it's like those "I give homeless people noodles in my pickup truck) videos but with a propaganda twist.

This is a 5 year old look at gaming in Cuba, first hand.

That’s pretty neat to be honest that people set that up

Yeah I guess the compsci professor wanted nothing to do with it. I wish Drew could have kept making Cloth Map. Such a cool video series.

They also have public libraries with computers that are free to be used. Not to mention smartphones and even twitter access. This video is just pure bullshit.
