The Matrix is a story about Hell.
The entire movie takes place in Hell.
The Robot Takeover was The Judgement, and those who were righteous became one with the machines.
Those who were sinners were condemned to live in 1999 forever.
And Hell has a side-quest where you break out of Hell, and attempt to overthrow God, but that's also Hell, and you never actually get out.

Wait a second..."condemned"?
@adiz @matrix @cjd YOU COULD JUST GET ONTO AN AIRPLANE

IF SOMEONE CALLED YOU AND YOU DIDN'T PICK UP, THEY WAITED A WHOLE DAY TO CALL BACK INSTEAD OF SENDING YOU AN EMAIL AT 10:15 ASKING IF YOU GOT THE MESSAGE THEY SENT YOU ON SLACK AT 10:13

@p Everything was a lot easier and cheaper. There was like infinite hope and positivity for the future. People were generally happy and excited. SE Asia and places like China and Japan were absolutely lit. We were not stuck in our current hellish purgatory. @matrix @cjd

@bonifartius @matrix @cjd This was also an era where there had never been a bad Final Fantasy or Mario game.
@bonifartius @matrix @cjd "Multiplayer? Like do you dial your friend's modem and do IPX/SPX? Or are you talking about MUDs?"
@p @matrix @bonifartius @cjd there was no bad Final Fantasy or Mario game prior to the collapse of the Roman Empire. It was all downhill from there.
@matrix Uh, you left out the bisexual PCP orgies they get to do once a year before the machine culling. People love that.
