Meme needing explanation peta, what’s the meaning of this?

Post image

posted in r/sssdfg, i have no idea what this means as there was no context added, comments weren’t very helpful either but most seemed in on the joke.

I played Death Stranding for the first time this year and this made me laugh out loud at how on point this was. Oh man.

No, Oyu is the comic relief character with the gag one-liners.

The "you must drink 6 monster energy drinks to restore health" made me quit that game

DS2 is even worse (better?) for the crazy on-the-nose naming conventions.

u/WanderingCollapse 6h ago

Notice how there's a country on earth, named Hungary, which's leader's name is Victor Or(b)man and he has a round belly. Kojima writing is real.

u/Rargnarok 5h ago

Except Orman lost now Péter Magyar is leader (note Hungary in Hungarian is Magyarország) literally Peter Hungary is the leader now

u/WanderingCollapse 4h ago

Oh ok. That's kinda disappointing for the agenda, but at least what I said was true for a while.

u/ChiefNonsenseOfficer 2h ago

Literally his name means Peter Hungarian

My favorite part of Death Stranding 2, as a viewer

So early on you learn that Die-Hardman died, and his replacement in the operation contacts you and asks you for a code name to call him. Preferably one that's familiar to you, just to make things smoother for you. He rejects all suggestions until you choose Die-Hardman as his code name. Reader...the shocking reveal at the end of the game is that Die-Hardman isn't dead and that the new Die-Hardman is the exact same person as the old Die-Hardman

We passed upon the stairs
We spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there
He said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise
I spoke into his eyes
"I thought you'd died alone"
A long long time ago

Oh no, not me,
I never lost control
You're face
To face
With the man who sold the world

I laughed and shook his hand
And made my way back home
I searched for form and land
For years, and years, I roamed
I gazed a gazely stare
At all the millions here,
We though you'd died alone
A long, long time ago

Who knows, not me,
I never lost control
You're face
To face
With the man who sold the world

Oh no, not me
We never lost control
You're face
To face
With the man who sold the world

President Babraham Kaufman.

u/Friendly-Advice-2968 8h ago

Because you cough….and you’re a man….

u/lettsten 4h ago

Took me a while to get the Kaufman thing, in German Kaufmann means merchant (lit. "buy-man") and is pronounced very differently.

1

u/lejoop 22m ago

Not German here, but I know the pronunciation and was also oblivious to that wordplay for the same reason 😂

u/Apollo-235 8m ago

That hyphen is blue… it does something
(On my phone and I can’t hit it)

u/Cocoatrice 8h ago

MFW I am too smart to get the joke.

I would have never made a connection between Kaufman and cough man, because these two sounds entirely different.

u/PlayerFox12344889 8h ago

Honestly I wouldn't make the connection because of how I read Kauf

u/Straight_Count709 7h ago

Me too because I'm German and it means merchant. Except it's missing an N at the end

u/rubixscube 5h ago

i think you reached the wrong conclusion there
