It seems irresponsible to spend 5 paragraphs and a headline talking about the game without saying this is not developed by Grasshopper Manufacture.

daily mail logo on the video, so getting the footage back must have been a nice trip down memory lane for the crew's bosses
Knowing what we know now, the creep factor is high on this one.
Epstein’s Lolita Express took its last flight in 2016 and sat abandoned at Georgia’s Brunswick Airport when photographed in 2020. This is the same jet that’s believed to have carried his trafficking victims & long list of secret VIPs.

something that made a lot of Japanese game design fall into place for me was learning that a lot of arcades had a "communication notebook" so you could share messages with other players
they became essential for obtuse games like Tower of Druaga, which required community effort

I'm from Old Tumblr, I'm used to getting weird DMs about "uh actually you follow someone problematic. Do you support people who watch [insert anime]?" but "This person is mean about Beat'em Ups" is a new one lol

"Columbo n'est pas un flic, c'est un fae avec un fort sens de la justice, qui débarque sur les scènes de crime et enchante les gens pour qu'ils croient qu'il est un flic. C'est pourquoi il n'a pas d'arme: le fer froid."
Yep, you can still love Columbo and believe ACAB
remember: columbo isn't a cop. he's a fae with a strong sense of justice, who shows up to crimes and glamours people into thinking he's a cop.
that's why he doesn't carry a gun: the cold iron

Densha de Go! 64 has a weird mix of the highest quality digital train photography the Nintendo 64 could handle and the most mediocre quality anime girl (she looks much better in the low res in-game sprites)
