Only committee-approved and/or mandated easter eggs permitted. Don't forget to catalogue them all so the social media team have more content.
- whizzter 3y agoIt's all fun and games until you leave a literal sex-game(1) in there prompting geriatric lawmakers(2) to get into the action (3). (And yes, I've worked in games myself so I 100% see the reason why they left it in disabled, iirc there is 2 or 3 levels with geometries but broken scripts included on disc in the largest game I worked on) (1) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Coffee_(minigame) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Coffee_(minigame) (2) https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/01/30/house-gets-younger-senate-gets-older-a-look-at-the-age-and-generation-of-lawmakers-in-the-118th-congress/ https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/01/30/house-get...
