- jryio 5mo agoWho remembers the Newgrounds games making fun of Bush during the Iraq war?
- tt_dev 5mo agolove the music
- LetsGetTechnicl 5mo agoI can't believe we're so beyond parody at this point. Also, instant game over from trying to hold Melania's hand lol
- mschuster91 5mo agoIdiocracy was supposed to be a warning, the GOP took it as an instruction manual.
- daft_pink 5mo agoIt’s the easiest way to make money!
- epistasis 5mo agoTry again, fighting the Pope is worth it.
- nosrepa 5mo agoWait, I thought the game just loops and you're stuck getting lube.
- alistairSH 5mo agoYou get lube the first time, then collect TP (and fight the pope to get one oll of TP). Then back to lube, but slightly different. I stopped there.
- adriand 5mo agoWow - the writing in this is fantastic. This is genuinely hilarious!
- avaer 5mo agoFor context, this is made by https://www.thesecrethandshake.com/ https://www.thesecrethandshake.com/, the same group behind the Trump + Epstein statue at the National Mall.
- b40d-48b2-979e 5mo agoAmazingly high-effort art.
- lbrito 5mo agoI was unsure if this was a legit propaganda piece for the first few seconds!
- egorfine 5mo agoExcellent. I remember King Quest, Larry Quest and the rest and it immediately gave me the same nostalgic vibes.
- lorecore 5mo agoThey were actually called Kings Quest and Leisure Suit Larry. There was also Police Quest and Space Quest. Sierra Online really had some of the canonical adventure game series.
- benoau 5mo agoAnd Hero's Quest, later known as Quest for Glory. This was arguably more fun because it added RPG traits. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quest_for_Glory%3A_So_You_Want_to_Be_a_Hero https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quest_for_Glory%3A_So_You_Want...
- egorfine 5mo agoSpace Quest was my absolute favorite!
- alterom 5mo agoLeisure Suit Larry in the Land of Lounge Lizards, if we're to be pedantic, with episode subtitles like Love for Sail :)
- TarqDirtyToMe 5mo agoThis would be perfect on a play date

- YeahThisIsMe 5mo agoHe'll be fine.
- jwmoz 5mo agoNot a fan of free speech?
- moralestapia 5mo agoThe opposite. I'm a free speech absolutist, as Musk would say :).
- malcolmgreaves 5mo agoYou’re a fan of the political party whose leader insults and mocks the pope. Literally insulting the person who is channeling the word of the Lord. Why do you support those that deeply insult Jesus?
- aipatselarom 5mo agoChill. GP never said he was against or in favor of the current US administration. This is quite a deranged strawman argument that borders on a personal attack. This behavior does not lead to clever or constructive conversation. There are much better ways to get your point across. It feels weird to have to write this but it seems warranted: A religious preference is something that extends beyond the limited time and space of a US political party.
- john_strinlai 5mo agocertainly off-topic and unlikely to lead to clever/construction conversation! nothing about it is deranged, a strawman, or a borderline personal attack though. >GP never said he was against or in favor of the current US administration they have, actually! i quote: "I personally like Trump as a president."
- dwa3592 5mo agoI decided to get the diet coke and call it "enough" for the day.
- tamimio 5mo ago[flagged]
- anonzzzies 5mo agotrump is not done yet. don't worry.
- malcolmgreaves 5mo agoBlatantly not true. Do you parrot such lies to seek attention?
- tamimio 5mo agoGo and ask your LLM of choice, and get back to me. Have this quick recap: >bush Created two wars, direct deaths and enabled ones are 500k to 1M, $4-$6 trillion cost, it destroyed iraq and Afghanistan. >obama No new wars, cont previous plus libya plus drones strikes in the region (check how many kids killed in those), 100k-200k deaths, $1-$2 trillion, destroyed libya, yemen, syria, plus iraq/afghanistan >biden We all saw what was going on in gaza (~50k killed) and still paid billions to israel Meanwhile trump had doha deal, reduced spending and pulled military from there. Hate trump for whatever reason you had that’s your own (maybe justified in domestic stuff), but the fact that what he did in that region is nothing compared to what previous presidents did, and unhinged tweets don’t count.
- christkv 5mo agoReminds me of that Alex Jones shooter
- baggachipz 5mo agoAbsolutely brilliant and I'm amazed at how current it is. Huge kudos to the developer.

- kridsdale1 5mo agoIf the Democratic party were smart or had even a single drop of Rizz, it would be them. So we know that it isn’t.
- goosejuice 5mo agoCharisma clearly cuts both ways.
- 542458 5mo agoAre you implying that this must be funded by some shadowy group? I don’t see why, people independently make media mocking politicians all the time.
- simianparrot 5mo agoYeah but they don’t erect statues like this group does
- 542458 5mo agoPeople independently make statues all the time, including some very famous and expensive ones such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charging_Bull https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charging_Bull
- wiseowise 5mo agoZionists, left and immigrants who want to destroy the big, beautiful country.
- saltyoldman 5mo agoZionists would be a confusing one to be in this list.
- avador 5mo agoepicfurious.com is blocked by my service provider. It’s a small, local, fiber company called mornington. They do not say why in the returned html. I do not approve of such blockage. Nevertheless. Knowledge is knowledge. So I post for everyone’s sake.
- mschuster91 5mo agoA DNS WHOIS [1] shows what's likely the cause: > Important Dates: Created 4/28/2026 Many an ISP these days blocks domains that have been registered less than a month ago because most scam campaigns have to cycle through domains way faster than that time. Check if you have enabled some sort of "malware protection" at your ISP, because that usually is based on DNS filtering. [1] https://who.is/whois/epicfurious.com https://who.is/whois/epicfurious.com
- avador 5mo agoUseful - thank you. I will contact them.
- epistasis 5mo agoI was going to say that political censorship is out of control in the US, but that appears to be a Canadian ISP?
- avador 5mo agoYes.
- ge96 5mo agoMan no ball room?
- general1465 5mo agoIf Iran would have ball room, Khomeini would be still alive.
- an0malous 5mo agoIt's great except the war is obviously for Israel not oil, we had more access to oil before the war
- namuol 5mo agoOil prices going up is “good” for petrol states who aren’t blocked. But yeah fair callout about Israel.
- captainbland 5mo agoI mean it's not clear the current state of things was the ambition before the war, a while back they were talking about seizing Kharg island which indicates capturing oil resources was an objective
- engineer_22 5mo agoTrump meeting with China this week, China maybe part of the calculus
- athrowaway3z 5mo agoNo - it indicates gross incompetence of the people in charge of the war and its communication. Any media worth its salt spend a brief time explaining why invading Kharg would mean mass US casualties, while having no critical objectives only achievable by seizing Kharg. If one of your media sources only echoed "reports of the US looking to seize Kharg island" without that context it was wasting your time for attention.
- an0malous 5mo agoThe oil is a secondary objective to keep markets stable so there’s less dissent domestically, the primary objective is to weaken Iran so that Israel can continue their expansion in the Middle East with less resistance. Their goal for decades now has been to become a world power like the US, Russia, and China and they manipulate US foreign policy to achieve these aims. This isn’t even a secret, you could read the Clean Break memo or read Israeli news where they talk about this somewhat openly. The war will continue at least up to elections, maybe longer since Zionism has bipartisan support in the US, but they’ll at least have to change the messaging or approach somehow. These ceasefire negotiations are a farce and will invariably fall through. The US will get no benefits and the spin will be how incompetent the Trump administration is for creating another quagmire but there was never anything for the US to gain from this and the real objective of exhausting the US military resources to undermine Iran will have been achieved. They ideally would still like to install the descendant of the last Shah as the new prime minister, but if that can’t be accomplished they’ll just reset the Iranian civilization back 20 years by destroying infrastructure, oil fields, and killing influential and popular leaders. The only redeeming factor of the Trump admin is that they are genuinely incompetent so this hidden hand influencing our foreign policy is more apparent but they’re not so incompetent to have started a war they have nothing to gain from.
- tofuahdude 5mo agoAnyone finish burning the files yet? I tried... but it looked like it would take awhile...
- JKCalhoun 5mo agoHere's hoping there are expansion packs (and that Mexico will pay for them).
- dlev_pika 5mo agoIt’s so hard to parody these mfers, like AJ - no matter how outrageous, could very well fit in their actual week

- fallingmeat 5mo agohere for this comment
- tolerance 5mo agoThis is one of those submissions that will invariably descend into a flame war if someone dare criticize it and infringe upon the consensus joy of others.
- ffsm8 5mo agoPolitical satire. People who take themselves and their political alignment too seriously will inevitably flag it.
- timeisapear 5mo agoI think we need an official HN response. This is a legitimate video game, which happens to be satire. If we as a community cannot handle this, I don't know if I want to be a part of it anymore, even though I've been here since 2014.

- yndoendo 5mo agoFor what MAGA views as good for the USA is actually a deplorable loss for the civilized world.
- ndsipa_pomu 5mo agoTo be fair, MAGA don't really hold views so much as they repeat what they're told to repeat.
- input_sh 5mo agoDoes the game just loop? I got the lube, then the TP, then the lube again, then the TP again... I mean it'd make sense for it to loop, but I'm just wondering if I'm missing something or should I just call it there.
- NDlurker 5mo agoHilarious. I played through it twice. I think I found everything except for the vial of measles. Maybe it was never meant to be found hahaha
- throwaway2037 5mo ago> vial of measles Main map, middle left, just below Putin. Did you find the ping pong balls for Kash Patel? I could not.
- NDlurker 5mo agoOh wow. Nope. He never even asked me for that. I guess I need to do another playthrough

- dethos 5mo agoThis is genuinely funny. Spot on.
- throwaway2037 5mo agoI understand this is probably flagged for "off-topic or political", but can we just appreciate the 1980s/1990s pixel art vibe? There is so much here: A blend of NES Final Fantasy and NES StarTropics. Plus, the enemies and their names are genuinely funny: Handsome Mamdani (after new NYC mayor), DEIyatolla (after Iran Ayatolla), low flow shower head (seriously, I had to Google this one!). Also, the anonymous artist collective behind it, Secret Handshake, is worthy of discussion. I played the game for a bit, but I cannot figure how to win. (FYI: Google tells me with bad AI/LLM that it may not be possible to win.) I can finish all side quests except I cannot find Kash Patel's (beer) ping pong balls. I even figured out how to beat the "Weak on Crime Pope" using a magic spell. When I sit on the golden toilet and use Truth Social to post, I "win"... then when I try to leave the building, Theo Von forces me to repeat the game. Also, there are two broken bridges that I cannot fix. Also, I can collect one extra barrel of oil ("lube"), but no idea if I can use this extra barrel.
