I've had this exact thought.

RFK2: Are you implying anything with that question?
Cheryl: Ummmm no, Robert.
RFK2: closely interrogates her face like above for 5-10 seconds (softly, barely audible) okay.
pulls his face away

And then he did that stare interrogation Larry does in Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Also deluxe edition just being intangible digital shit is so lame. Not even a full soundtrack, a mini-soundtrack. You used to get a physical artbook and maybe t-shirts or something with pre-orders/deluxe editions.

Thanks, YouTube. Guessin' gamer-fascists would be convinced of that.

You might be right people want a 1:1 remake. I think you're wrong that it has any merit as to why they should do it. At least how it is now people can play both versions and get something different out of them and the people aren't pretending the original doesn't exist like they might with other games. The remake is treated as the separate experience that it truly is than something that's supposed to overwrite the original.

Does Russia give any of them a chance to repatriate to Russia at all? I'm assuming not for espionage/sabotage reasons, but it seems bad if they're getting POWed and then exchanged back to a fascist Ukraine at some point.

Soldered in a battery holder and installed a new battery for my Dreamcast for the system clock. That went well and it's still holding a charge and the clock's working still hours later. Then I did the same for 6 Pokemon games: G/S/C, Green, R/E (no sapphire sadly). The Pokemon ones were trickier. GBA carts have less room for clearance and also I couldn't solder the battery holder feet to the pads as easily for some reason. But now I'm done so I should be good for Pokemoning in the near-future, yay.
