Will it still have the puzzle where the main character refuses to walk through ankle deep water so she gets a mentally disabled child to walk through instead so he can move a heavy log for her in this version I wonder?

The most eastern european puzzle the low countries have ever devised

shout out soldiers heroes of WW2 where your squad of commandos can’t step foot in a shallow swamp without a literal dog leading them through because otherwise they immediately sink and die like they’re in cartoon quicksand

I was gonna link to an earlier post where I said “I wish Nebulas Ray got an Arcade Archive port.”

After TGM2+ and Viper Phase One and Neuman Athletics and soon Ridge Racer I should just be throwing titles out there into the ether said I wish this port would happen and I could purchase it for 8 bucks to play on my PS5:

Asura Blaster
Dyno Gear
Prop Cycle
Police 911 2
The Outfoxies (with rollback)
Planet Harriers
Dirt Dash
Jurassic Park (Sega)
Jurassic Park: The Lost World (Sega)
AP Racer
Suzuka 8 Hours 2
Star Wars The Arcade
Golden Axe The Return of Death Adder
GP Hero
Segas The Firefighters
Kraut Buster (while I am being greedy)

And of course Sega Dog Walker:

I tried this out. It’s cool but it’s also almost impossible to play it. You go way too fast and you wipe out instantly if you so much as tap another car.

Okay listen I thought really hard about posting this here or the politics thread, but can someone please just tell me I’m not fucking crazy for thinking it’s sick shit of the helldivers 2 developers to make a new update where players have to defend a shopping mall themed city named “Eagleopolis” geographically located on top of Gaza or at the very least Israel

I suspect it can be explained by poor geographical knowledge on the UI designer’s part. Feels like something that could be read as poor taste at parody by any party but my guess is no-one checks that stuff because you don’t usually go to Earth right?

My understanding is that the invasion of Earth was something they have been building up to for quite some time. This is a big event. It’s fucking crazy this made it past people at every point in the process.

My best guess is that they were going for the imaginary Saudi wonder city NEOM (which has an imaginary district called “Aquellum”) and muffed the geography a little - in reality
(to the extent it exists in reality) it’s only a bit south of the bottom of Israel.

So it’s still gross, but in a “humoring an insane tyrant who’s known to find video games” way rather than a “joking about genocide” way.
