Personally Brogue is my go to free roguelike, otherwise I play the English translation of Shiren the Wanderer through a PSP emulator on my phone.
Those shows are such blatant cop propaganda it's baffling that people take them so seriously. Elliot from Law & Order is like that, break a guy's legs just to get information and the viewers cheer him on. For unknown reasons (possibly an undying love for Olivia) my fiance loved that show and we'd HAVE to watch every new episode right when it came out. So, unexpectedly, I've watched a lot of Law & Order: SVU. And yes, just like in real life, they did mean to slam your face into that wall, at least that part is realistic 😅
Edit: Oh, didn't see I was responding to the post about On Patrol, but the comment still stands either way lol
I have to admit I would get drunk and watch that show a lot, but only to watch the cops do stupid and reprehensible shit live on the air. There were several instances where the show would suddenly cut away from the officers and convienently take a commercial break when some fucked shit was obviously being done by the cops. Infrequently, but hilariously entertaining, the cops would be made complete fools of and lose the suspect but not cut away to make them look good. There was one where this big pack of guys on dirtbikes (probably 10-15) led the cops on a chase through this rural neighborhood because they'd just lose the cops through tight spaces or go through yards, the cops ended up only catching two of the pack and that's only becauase the two guys accidentally collided with each other and gave the cops a chance to catch up to them, the rest of the pack sped off. I was laughing my ass off that whole time. They should have been playing the Benny Hill theme that whole time.
That's why it's fun to go back and look at pdfs of old gaming magazines from the 80s and early to mid 90s, it really was quite a niche subculture. You'd have these small 5-10 developer teams making just the oddest, but fantastic games that you only ever see in indie games rarely nowadays (itch.io is a fun place to go for those kinds of weird, off the wall games these days). Once the Playstation/N64 era took off gaming just getting progressively bigger and aiming for the lowest-common denominator of players. I still game but rarely ever big AAA games, mostly its retro games/hacks on emulators and indie games.
There are two wolfs inside of you, get help
Exactly, and it was made clear by Luthor's plans to develop the land taken from the Borovians that the leader's goal was one of ethnic cleansing to accomplish getting rid of them and taking their land.
The military is usually depicted fairly kid-gloves, but then again you have organizations like Cadmus that are sanctioned by the government to kill or contain metahumans extra-judicially, so the goverment is definitely shown to be doing shady things in the shadows too.
Hmm, really it varies by writer as to how progressive he is politically. Generally his actions reflect his politics as they aren't outright stated. However, he's frequently championing social causes and doing things that help citizens directly but also stand in the way of regressive politicians and business leaders (Luthor being the most prominent of those). Unfortunately due to the majority of writers probably being liberal he doesn't often get quite to socialist Superman as he was in the very beginning. So yes, lib for sure in the tone of the politics that are there. Sadly with big corporations owning these characters the amount of political dialogue allowed is abysmal.
Although, the movie is suprisingly political and makes a comment (albeit in fictional, but easily recognized pastiches) about the Israel conflict and a Superman intervention into such a confrontation. It's refreshing to see. And from what I've heard it's triggering a lot of libs, conservatives and Zionists. Apparently Fox had some particularly vitriolic things to say about the movie's message (um, don't exterminate people indiscriminately I guess).
I beat Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer on the DS a month and a half ago and moved on to playing the English translation of Shiren the Wanderer: The Eye of God and the Devil's Navel on PSP. It's the same base Shiren-style game but with more feature like equipment upgrades, runes for weapons, new items, new enemies and the ability to tag and retrieve lost equipment. A nice graphical upgrade too with it being on PSP.
I appreciate all the QoL features which streamlines the experience trememndously. Allies will now walkthrough NPCs without getting stuck behind them, there's new revival and escape herbs that allow you to revive if you do or escape back to the beginning with all your items if you hit a difficult snag.
At this point, playing for over a month, I'd say it's the best Shiren game I've played yet. I do have the new one that just released on PC and Switch but haven't gotten to it yet. Honestly, the 3D chibi graphics put me off a bit too. I'll play it eventually but I'm not in a rush. For me Shiren is a pickup and play handheld game. I play it in 15-20 min bursts on the bus.
Also contemplating playing Arcanum of Steamworks and Magick Obscura on my laptop, especially since I'm GMing a Steampunk tabletop game on Discord, but I don't know if I have the stamina for an old school CRPG right now.
Big Superman fan, so right now my absolute favorite show is My Adventures with Superman. Also, I'd say it's the best Superman animated series to date. Yes, even more so than The Animated Series from the 90's (which is still a great show).
However, a very very close second (probably a tie at this point) is an anime I found randomly through some thread online called Mushishi. About a man named Ginko who is a wandering "mushi master". Mushi are basically like concentrated living energy that take different forms and Ginko travels from village to village encountering new mushi and issues to solve resulting from people's exposure to a particular mushi. But the core of the show is in the poignancy of the character's stories and their particular backstories and personal issues that intertwine with the pressing mushi issue. It's a very slice of life kind of show and the best anime series I've seen so far. Incredibly well written and interesting characters even if they're only seen for an episode. I highly recommend you check it out.
Oh undoubtedly most of them are. The majority of them are too coherent and non-rambling to actually be him. You can always tell it's a staffer by the verbosity of the post. Trump is not one to dump enormous blocks of text online.
Another user mentioned Sonic A.I.R. below, it's a widescreen PC port of Sonic 3 and Knuckles. Here's the link: https://sonic3air.org/
