I could never get through the 2nd ostrich riding sequence in the 2nd level as a kid. The rest of the game was fine, though, once I used the level select to skip ahead. Turns out, it was because my eyesight was shit and I couldn’t even see the correct obstacles on screen (I was trying to avoid the branches, but no it was pink hippos and bird nests the whole time, so my timing on the double jumps was always off). Replaying the game a couple years back when Disney re-released it alongside Aladdin, I found it still tricky, but doable.

Why is Israel in quotes? I thought it was a translation artifact at first, but no other country in the article is in quotes.

That said, good on Colombia.

Man has apparently decided that being a Zionist is the hill he’ll die on.

The way I see it, if you’ve bought a game from GOG you’ve already paid, so no one can truthfully say in good faith that subsequently grabbing a cracked version of the Steam release is a lost sale.

It’s leave, you idiot! Make like a tree and leave! You sound like a damn fool when you say it wrong.

I mean, sure. That’s basically how always-online DRM for games works. But the fact is that you do still have the disc with data on it, so generally it’s just a matter of time before someone comes up with a way to bypass or spoof the DRM.

With the obvious caveat that IANAL, I think there’s a distinction to be made between the physical medium that an IP is distributed on, if any, and the IP itself. Like, when you buy a movie on DVD you obviously don’t own the IP. But strictly speaking, you don’t even own that particular copy of the movie as encoded on the disc you bought. But you do own the disc itself, which just happens to have a copy of the movie on it. So while a publisher can always pull their IPs, and make it illegal for people to distribute them, they can’t come and take the discs that you already legally own.

Gonna throw in a shout out to AC’s spritual precursor, Prince of Persia. Also can’t go wrong with Rayman or Rabbids.

Call it what it is, ethnic cleansing, you cowards.

What’s to explain? The Palestinian problem isn’t going to solve itself, y’know. So obviously, the IDF needs to provide a little final assistance.

I only wish this was a joke in exceptionally poor taste on my part, but Bibi flat out admitted that the goal was ethnic cleansing, so here we are…

Oh look, ethnic cleansing.

Fascist gonna fash. If Modi and his BJP stop whining about how the world is being mean to India Bharat, people might start noticing all sorts of uncomfortable things about them.
