  1. 🎮 On This Day in Gaming — August 8

    In 2013, Papers, Please put you behind the desk of a border checkpoint inspector in the grim fictional state of Arstotzka — turns out stamping passports can be one of the most morally gut-wrenching games ever made.

    Also released today:
    📅 2006: Dead Rising
    📅 2014: Five Nights at Freddy's
    📅 2017: Batman: The Enemy Within
    📅 2017: Cat Quest

  2. Oh dear. I finally got #StrangeHorticulture and installed it, just to test that everything was working smoothly. And before I knew it, I had finished the first two in-game days.

    I love this type of "toss you into the deep end, let you figure it out on your own" gameplay. Looking critically, it might all end up a bit too linear, but for the moment it's done so well that I don't mind. A bit of a mix of #PapersPlease and #BookOfHours.

    I wonder if I'm going to have to put Space Haven on hold until I've finished this...? Howlongtobeat integration on the GOG page says 5.5 - 9 hours - so yeah, looks like I'll wrap this up first. :D

  3. For the "shall not be abridged" 2nd Amendment crowd:

    "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
    - 14th Amendment

  4. It took me ages to get to it, but I finally played one stamp-through of Papers, Please. Ended up fleeing succesfully.

    What an interesting game, to say the least 😮‍💨

  5. Return of the Obra Dinn developer Lucas Pope doesn't feel comfortable talking about new projects because maybe they'll be "slurped up by AI"

  6. Terror, fear, anxiety.

    That's what I feel 2-3x a week when I gather up all of my court papers to hopefully ensure I can safely explain to cops why they are not needed at my child exchanges.

    Most of the time cops tell me they don't care about my papers and will not read them. They don't care they are personally enacting systemic racism.

    Reminds me a lot of ICE, but where's the outcry when it's a black man being harassed by karens, kops and kourt?

  7. CW: NZPol Immigration

    RE: mastodon.social/@norightturnnz

    NZ is much closer structurally & culturally to having ICE than you might think. Police have been pulled up for dawn-raid tactics as recently as 2023, 2 years after Prime Minister Ardern made a formal apology.

    "/Immigration officers will soon have the power to ask people suspected of overstaying their visa for proof of identification at their homes and/or workplaces./

    Who's a "suspected overstayer"? . Well I guess that depends..."

    #PapersPlease? "#Altersverifikation"?

    Schon mal drauf vorbereiten, uns das hier nicht nehmen zu lassen.

    Per gnunet, tor, i2p, meshnets, whatever. Es wird weitergehen.

    Wir *dürfen* uns moderierte, aber identifikationsfreie, Räume zum freien Austausch nicht nehmen lassen.

    Aber die Schäden durch "Klarnamenspflichten" kann eine solche Flucht in den Untergrund leider nicht verhindern.

    edit: letzter Absatz abgeändert (nicht leicht zu definieren, was genau beschädigt wird)

  9. The United States Federal Government prepares for potential deployment of active duty troops to Minneapolis in case of increased violence caused by [checks notes] the Federal Government.

  10. We are in the "Papers Please" stage. They don't even know who they are grabbing.

  11. RE: mastodon.social/@andrewstroehl

    Call your representative and ask if they intend to sponsor legislation that will cover all costs for people to obtain a US passport.
