It is very strange. I don't know anything about these games. Has the geology of the world radically changed? Would that explain the landscapes I see in the trailer?

I like the look of Big Walk. If I ever get a chance to check it out I can tell I'll feel very much at home.

Omg another slice. Endless cake machine.

Woah cake.

So it's bad eh?

This SMH piece (archive.org) has a bit more of a breakdown. I haven't gone looking for alternative sources of info atm, a bit busy.

I found a reference in Wikipedia (edit 3) so afaic my work here is done.

Edit 1: Oh fuck, it's a circular reference. Dammit.

Trying to verify this. So far I found this but have not confirmed it's legit in any way:

Edit 2: Laundry, Shooting At Venus, and Surviving Two Back-To-Back Ship Sinkings Part 1 | Vuink - Repost of article found in Edit 1.

Edit 3: USS Langley (CV-1) | World War II

On the entry of the US into World War II, Langley was anchored off Cavite, Philippines.[5][19] On 8 December, following the invasion of the Philippines by Japan, she departed Cavite for Balikpapan in the Dutch East Indies. In the natural state of alarm (the attack on Pearl Harbor had happened the day before) 300 rounds were shot at an object in the sky before it was realized that it was the planet Venus.[20]

Edit 4: This detailed history of the ship does not mention anything about firing at Venus:

I went to check out the status of the Torres Strait Islander flag and ended up going down a bit of a rabbit hole in regards to the Australian Aboriginal flag:

The flag's current legal status was debated in an Australian Senate estimates committee in mid‑February 2022, when it was also revealed that the Morrison government had paid $13.75m to Thomas to assume copyright, and also paid $6.3m to two non-Indigenous businesses which held licences to use the flag. These companies are WAM Clothing, which received $5.2m, and Wooster Holdings, which was paid $1.1m. Interests in both companies are held by Gold Coast businessman Ben Wooster, former director of Birubi Art (which was fined $2.3m in 2018 for selling fake Aboriginal art).

Double, triple, quadruple the spiciness.

Greece too.

Is that a eucalypt in the background?
