Done adding things to the Mystery database for the time being. Everything from NES to Dreamcast is on there, as well as arcade (MAME-compatible), and then some stuff after Dreamcast/on PC. Fightcade and Arkadyzja compatibility is on there as well.

I'm not gonna say that this guy has done everything right because, like every Dem, he's trying to play within a game that rarely, if ever, lets capital/power lose, and even the best are forced to misstep when doing that. But he's trying something and trying it very publicly and we need more of that.

Honestly, every mayor and governor worth their salt should be trying to find every single possible way to stall or remove ICE agents and facilities. Health codes, restraining orders, school/traffic safety issues, just start picking the most nitpicky things and start chucking spaghetti at the wall.

Good. Even if this doesn’t work, it’s time to go on offense.

I haven't seen any complaints about the art/designs, just the fact that we got more jpeg gambling instead of an actual game.

No it doesn't hurt me at *all* that Casino Royale is old enough to vote. ;_;

Also I know it's not a great movie by any stretch but I still liked Quantum of Solace, probably more than Spectre and No Time To Die.

I just yelled at my cat five minutes ago for fishing plastic out of a wastebasket and trying to eat it.

Love going to sleep at a decent time only for my body to wake me up a few hours later and whisper "memento mori motherfucker" in my ear. Headache so fun the rest of my body wants to join the pain party. -_-

Now these morons are suggesting that @nomorerobots.io *forced* me to put represention in the game. Bitch I came up with the characters myself! And Noor is a treasure!

A section of a Steam review that reads: "A Game Marred by External Decisions

This adventure is also, and most importantly, spoiled by the publisher, No More Robots. Their forced DEI, seemingly to collect more money, comes at the expense of narrative coherence and the original developer's vision. The inexplicable presence of a character wearing an Islamic headscarf in a universe where it doesn't fit is a glaring example that shatters immersion."

The developer response to the review that reads: Hello! It's me, the dev! Like the actual person that wrote the code, almost all 97,000 lines of it, as well as all the characters, dialog, cutscenes, and storyline. The publisher did in fact make a singular character suggestion to me. You know which character it was?

The dog.

The rest? All me! You are making up completely unfounded conspiracy theories.

Oh, and that "surveillance"? It's called a log file. Unity makes them by default. Scary stuff, I know.

Take a hike man.

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.

The character limit on here shouldn't prevent you from replacing "Israelis" with "Israeli government"(or "Saudis" with "Saudi government") when talking about shitty goals and actions (i.e. genocide, anti-LGBT, etc). If the sentence doesn't make sense after that, you were probably being a bigot.

Man it really sucks that people heard “Jews and Israelis aren’t synonymous” and interpreted that to mean “you can be as antisemitic as you want if you just say Israeli instead of Jewish”

Could just be that Maximum has a pretty good bargain bin of IPs to buy. They've got no shortage of undercooked or cancelled projects and I gotta imagine they'd love to salvage something on their investments. 100% get that, plus it's known the higher-ups love fighters. Here's hoping that's all it is.

I wish we knew more about Gameplay Group International because as much as I respect their mission statement it's been 3-for-3 on choosing Modus/Maximum fighting game IPs to revive and I don't know what to think of that.

Nope. Doesn't work. Scientifically disproven. Next theory.

(If you think I'm hating on Baz or Kidman, Moulin Rouge is in my top 20 of all-time, and Strictly Ballroom in my top 10 + top 1 comfort movie.)

Google search for movie Australia, which has a 6.6 on IMDB.
