Are you familiar with the concept of a joke ? I can send you some peer reviewed papers to read about humour if you'd like.

Yes, I am familiar with jokes, but I don't see one here.

Jokes are not permitted on HN, please don't do it again.

HN is intented for mildly pleasant experiences only.

That's not actually true, though, is it? Or is there some other HN legal document besides https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html ?

Joking about an office building exploding is contextually not a funny joke

Even worse, they didn't make a joke about the game "being on Steam".

As long as no one died or got seriously injured, I see no problem in cracking jokes.

It didn't land, but bad jokes aren't a crime
