I’m not sure if there’s a better title for this series, but basically I’ll be sharing unlicensed games that have political messaging relevant to the time the game was made. I was originally going to focus on console games but there’s exactly one old Windows game I wanted to include so whatever.
Terrifying 9.11 is a bootleg Game Boy Color game developed by Ruanxin (based out of Fuzhou, China) and released sometime 2002 (or possibly end of 2001). The game opens with a video montage of the planes hitting the twin towers while a chiptune rendition of Shir LaShalom plays. Pressing start brings up a little story crawl about 9/11 and the plan to send super soldiers into Afghanistan. Pressing start again opens a map screen and again into an exchange between Bush and Bin Laden. And then finally… Metal Slug. It’s a Metal Slug port. A surprisingly decent one!

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.
Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It’s for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.
Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

Well, it’s been two months and not a single person got my ‘trans broken arm syndrome’ cosplay. I had to give up on the idea, and I had my cast taken off. 0/10 that was not worth it at all. I picked the wrong bit to fully commit to realism. At least my insurance covers costumes and costume designers.
Someone I know had a story about how she hooked up with a friend, partly because he had a broken arm, and she felt bad for him. He worked in a place like Spencers, (not spencers), and it was a joke cast.
Damn, that sounds like way more fun than doing abstract social commentary. But if I’m understanding it correctly, he left his bones alone? so like, whats the point?
