    It's great except the war is obviously for Israel not oil, we had more access to oil before the war

      They say Palantir israeli good software ;)

      Oil prices going up is “good” for petrol states who aren’t blocked.

      But yeah fair callout about Israel.

      I 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

    Is this post shadow-flagged or something? It’s off the front page.

      makes sense political

  • chabes 13 minutes ago

    Why was this removed from the front page? It was number one just a couple minutes ago

      This 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.

      Can't rock the boat too much, when the captain has a lot of money

    Who remembers the Newgrounds games making fun of Bush during the Iraq war?

    Here's hoping there are expansion packs (and that Mexico will pay for them).

    I was unsure if this was a legit propaganda piece for the first few seconds!

    I tried... but it looked like it would take awhile...

    Absolutely brilliant and I'm amazed at how current it is. Huge kudos to the developer.

    I decided to get the diet coke and call it "enough" for the day.

    Excellent. I remember King Quest, Larry Quest and the rest and it immediately gave me the same nostalgic vibes.

    • lorecore 32 minutes ago

      They 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.

    "Hold Hands" > GAME OVER

    I should have gone ahead with the diet coke

    This would be perfect on a play date

      Hopefully you mean the console.

    Man no ball room?

    • general1465 17 minutes ago

      If Iran would have ball room, Khomeini would be still alive.

    It’s so hard to parody these mfers, like AJ - no matter how outrageous, could very well fit in their actual week

    love the music

    Reminds me of that Alex Jones shooter

  • LetsGetTechnicl an hour ago

    I can't believe we're so beyond parody at this point. Also, instant game over from trying to hold Melania's hand lol

      Try again, fighting the Pope is worth it.

        Wait, I thought the game just loops and you're stuck getting lube.

      Idiocracy was supposed to be a warning, the GOP took it as an instruction manual.

        It’s the easiest way to make money!

    For context, this is made by https://www.thesecrethandshake.com/, the same group behind the Trump + Epstein statue at the National Mall.

    I know this is frowned upon on HN, so feel free to vote me down.

    But it only works on Firefox for me, not on Chrome.

      Sounds like a feature, not a bug

      Try going to chrome://gpu and looking for red text or error messages

    epicfurious.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.

      I was going to say that political censorship is out of control in the US, but that appears to be a Canadian ISP?

    • mschuster91 20 minutes ago

      A 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.
