why its third person when they mention ready or not and battlefield 3 as inspirations

why there are like 10 meters tall lumbering weeb ******* with claws

why vaginas dont have tactical bikinis
where are strip bars? did all males in this gaymeverse turned into vergil like eunuchs?

also, if there is famine where are grilled vaginas? chinese know what to do when famine occurs and this **** seems pretty weeb



why all those games are so ******* ******** and disjointed, its like somebody watched some movies from 80ties and glue them together. ******* ai made commericals have more coherence
like any piece of chinese history, this is fake

which part?

Are you perhaps thinking about the Night in the Woods dev that ack-ed himself when Zoe Quinn drove him to suicide perhaps?

No no this was a major AAA game where one of the devs killed himself and then people were blaming people being over negative about the game and saying you shouldn't talk bad about the game in their honor.

I don't recall hearing anything like that about Suicide Squad, though it would have been funny if one of the woke devs killed himself while working on a game with "suicide" in the title.

if we exclude the best level(snow levels), my favorite RPG level is the tree dungeon
I don't mean a dungeon made of a forest, but a dungeon that takes place inside one or more massive trees
closely related to the treetop towns

Wtf does "counter-disinformation" even mean? What is that game "countering" in the first place?
People are looking too deep into what is going to be a crappy web-based educational game with the contract awarded to someone's friend.

If you think I'm coping or something, I can just point to the ones that exist — which nobody has ever heard of or 'played' — as proof.
https://harmonysquare.game/
What is Harmony Square?
Harmony Square is a game about fake news. The game’s setting is the idyllic Harmony Square, a small neighborhood mildly obsessed with democracy. You, the player, are hired as Chief Disinformation Officer. Over the course of 4 short levels, your job is to disturb the square’s peace and quiet by fomenting internal divisions and pitting its residents against each other.
Development and funding



The U.S. Department of State’s Global Engagement Center (GEC) and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) have, in collaboration with Tilt and the University of Cambridge, financially supported the development and tailoring of Harmony Square within the scope of addressing foreign adversarial propaganda and disinformation and its impact on foreign audiences and elections overseas. The GEC seeks to “facilitate the use of a wide range of technologies and techniques by sharing expertise among federal department and agencies, seeking expertise from external sources and implementing best practices” in order to “recognize, understand, expose, and counter foreign state and foreign non-state propaganda and disinformation” (NDAA section 1287).



In support of this mission, the GEC’s Technology Engagement Team collaborated in tailoring Harmony Square to address the challenges of foreign adversarial propaganda and disinformation that could impact foreign elections. Harmony Square is an example of how the GEC’s programmatic initiatives – the Tech Demo Series and the Testbed – assist in identifying and testing tools to facilitate unique technological approaches to countering propaganda and disinformation.



CISA works with partners to defend against today’s threats and collaborate to build more secure and resilient infrastructure for the future.



This game was designed and developed by Gusmanson, a design studio creating serious games.
Gusmanson is a netherlands studio, almost certainly the same exact studio receiving the contract.

For the record, I'd fully support my tax dollars going towards a cat park. Better than 98% of the **** it gets spent on.
I've submitted an email to America First legal that previously submitted a FOIA request regarding this grant. I was unable to find any information on the FOIA request on the state department site, so I'll keep you guys updated with whatever they send us back.
Good morning,

While we have not yet received any records in response to this FOIA request, we believe the following collaboration between AFL and FFO would be of interest to you.

Best,
The AFL Team

Heaven's Divide is even worse for me to the point I avoid listening to it. I first played Peacewalker like right after my grandmother died so I associate a lot of things about it with that time which is why I rate it way higher than it deserves due to sentimental bias.

Your grandfather knew what was up.
My mother watched me play some of MGS3 and thought it was good I was playing a game with a strong female character like The Boss. I didn't get to any parts with Eva so I just let her live in ignorant bliss :twisted:

Same here, not with Heaven's Divide but with

I was worried about my dad when he didn't feel too good (staying up longer than I should in case something happend) and was at this point of the game, so I associate it with him.

I played it a few months ago and it was just sort of okay. Definitely has potential, though, if the devs aren't ******** (if).

Yes.
I like it but I like any game I can play with friends. Sailing is fun and I like the gimmick of being on a mobile base most of the time.
Like $5 on Steam.

I'd play Sunkenland too if people got that

*fire 80% of your developers after making one of the gayest, most poorly performing games ever made*
*1 year later announce an actually good game*

https://www.harebrained-schemes.com/

(screenshots on page)

weird how companies seem to be able to fire 80% of their employees and actually improve, almost like most people actively make everything worse

Raft isn't bad btw but janky as hell and makes no ******* sense.

I didn't pay for it but I'd play it with Oyster if he can figure out how to make that work.
