Major difference: If a dude showed up with a crayon drawn ID and visa that said "I <3 Musk & Trump", he'd be allowed entry.

Glory to ~~Arstozka~~ Amerika!

Tattoo it to your arse and call it a Trump stamp to make traveling easier.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 14 points 2 weeks ago

I appreciate the sentiment, but musk and Trump (and the people that support them) really don't give a fuck about this.

There's people that openly supported Trump that were deported, or had their significant others deported. They only care about skin color and politics and if innocent people get mistreated as collateral, they don't really care.

Just 2 weeks ago someone created this fake trailer for the American version of "Papers, please" and I am now bummed this isn't a real DLC.

Top comment when I looked was, "I would pay the price of a dozen eggs to be able to play this DLC."

I would be willing to pay 2 dozen eggs worth, and I would have to buy the game as well as the DLC.

[–] lydon_feen@lemm.ee 6 points 2 weeks ago

I saw that comment as well and couldn't agree more.

Papers, please is a gem.

If dev is American or lives in US soil, he may need to leave first

He apparently lives in Japan with his Japanese wife that he met doing game dev.

I watched that when it was released and was sure it was a real dlc for the first minute. So well done!

[–] lydon_feen@lemm.ee 5 points 2 weeks ago

Well done and unfortunately cruel, 'cause it left us wanting.

why can I hear that

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 54 points 2 weeks ago

I hope Lucas makes an official Amerika DLC. It is important that Paper's Please message is not treated as anti-communist, but anti-totalitarian.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 53 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I saw so many people play that game with the take-away "Communism in Eastern Europe / Socialist Latin America / China & North Korea was awful! I'm so glad I live in a liberal democracy where I've got rights and freedoms, here in ". Guys with Ron Paul rEVOLution bumper stickers would explain how we need to keep our guns close and never surrender to those liberty-hating leftists, so Papers Please! couldn't happen here.

And as the years dragged on, the thing I heard over and over again was that liberty was under attack by Secret Communists who were infiltrating our newspapers and TVs and online forums, our college campuses, our office spaces, and our government bureaucracies. And the vector they were using to do it was... illegal immigration. First it was Al Qaeda slipping over the border to do more 9/11s. Then it was the Insidious Chinese with their America-Hating Confucius Centers, doing brainwashing and kidnapping and god knows what else. And at last it was the mobs of Venezuelan biker gangs, Cuban double-agents, and Che Guevera loving Nicaraguan/El Salvadorian/Mexican Ultra-Left Communists, breaking into the US to steal our welfare and ruin our public schools and take over our suburban neighborhoods.

The only way to keep us from living in Papers, Please! was to find these people and root them out. No more Iranian ISIS infiltrators teaching anti-semitism classes at Columbia. No more Woke DEI transgender employees at the State Department. No more speaking Spanish! Or surrender-monkey French! Or the vile tongue of the thieving, cheating, lazy, stupid Han People!

By god, if there was only some way we could find out who was evil and who was good. Some kind of document that only the righteous, God-Fearing, red-blooded American could carry (because if we caught you being a dirtbag leftist we could take it away). We need some kind of identifying document, some permanent record we could use to track the dissidents. Some kind of papers, please!

Post 9-11 America, abridged.

[–] RedSnt@feddit.dk 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

You got me remembering this cooky song. Catchy but the Post America channel was kinda nuts, shame they had their channel removed, not sure if they got banned of they did it themselves. (I wouldn't be surprised if it was an inside job)

Imitation is.. the... greatest form.... of.... flattery... :|

…that mediocrity can pay to greatness”

All this “mediocrity” is pretty overwhelming right now.

This game is a fucking banger.

Glory to Arstotzka!

[–] doug@lemmy.today 20 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

If you’re looking for a game like this but less depressing, I’d recommend Not Tonight and its sequel.

[–] lath@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

And if you're looking for a game like this but more horny, there's that type too. (Imperial Gatekeeper or something similar, forgot)

If y'all want something shorter and more horror-focused - try That's Not My Neighbor. And if you want something bigger and more mechanically diverse - Contraband Police.

[–] xtapa@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 weeks ago

Looks great, thanks!

[–] uuldika@lemmy.ml 16 points 2 weeks ago

My passport got "corrected" to M after being stuck in weeks of bureaucratic limbo and waiting hours at the passport agency. One of the agents even told me I should just accept it so that way I'd be able to leave the country.

Yeah, I dreamed of EZIC.

Things are only real if they’re happening in America.
