You didn’t think there was only gonna be one 9/11 game, did you?

Death Caliber is a Sega Mega Drive/Genesis game developed by Hummer Software. Although the game is in Russian, the developer was based out of Xi’an, China.

Fans of pixelated politicians rejoice! Bush, Chirac, Blair, Putin, and Arafat are all represented in this opening crawl. I have no idea what the text says but if I were to guess it’s probably something like “9/11 bad, kill all terrorists”

This is a light gun game except the light gun accessory doesn’t work with it so you have to aim by moving a cursor with the d-pad. And unlike normal light gun games, the enemies don’t take turns or reload instead opting to all simultaneously pop out at once. I guess the devs realized that this makes the game unplayable but instead of fixing that and making more engaging gameplay, they opted to crank up the player health values instead, making the player semi-impervious to bullets.

    “I don’t need a new bike frame, I can build an e-bike out of my current one. I don’t need a new bike frame. I don’t need a new bike.”

    …

    I kinda want to build a new bike…

    Honestly though, I love my bike in its current form. It’s beautiful, it feels lovely to ride, and I worry that adding a motor + battery will change that. Plus it would be nice to have a backup bike if the e-bike is ever down for maintenance. The whole reason I’m thinking of dropping money on an e-bike is to replace my car for like 90-95% of all the distance I travel. It’s gonna get pretty dirty and beat up. I currently only use my bike for short local trips and riding for fun on car-free trails, and the occasional after midnight mental health rides into the city.

    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.

    Is this euphoria?

    I don’t post here much, and well on hb much lately. I identify as agender/demi depending on the day. I also identify as I guess aceflux? I am like 99% sure I’m ace but I float between vanilla asexual, and demisexual, and I guess a few others, depending on the day.

    But here goes. I’ve been trying to dress a bit more androgynous lately. I’ve been painting my nails more lately and am playing around with some gender-neutral accessories. I have big ass pork chop sideburns and a mohawk currently. So I guess the big thing is when people notice my nails. But anywho, I was at a gas station last week, wearing what I usually wear lately. Mostly masc but a touch of fem. The gas station cashier sort of gave me shit over my outfit. I don’t think he was intentionally meaning to be rude but he was like “so, is that your ‘style’?”

    I thought about it at the bar later the whole time and I think my conclusion is that I guess I’m not fully passing as a male? I thought about it again on the drive home from the bar and a wave of emotions came over me. Like for a brief moment, I just felt like “me” which I never really do unless I’m home alone just chilling.

    I might be overthinking this tho. Idk.

    Thursday's Post: Operation Secret Storm

    https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/d7f3741b-6f48-4455-aab0-d886d67de813.jpeg

    Operation Secret Storm was developed by Color Dreams and released in 1992. The game centers around top CIA agent George B. as he single-handedly takes down the entire Iraqi army of racist caricatures.

    Color Dreams is still active though they pivoted to surveillance cameras and sell under the name StarDot Technologies through a website that has yet to move past the early aughts. Shitty racist games to shitty christian games (under the Wisdom Tree label) to shitty surveillance tech is not at all a surprising pipeline.

    Sorry no links or game pics tonight, I’m eepy toriel-snooze Maybe I’ll go back and add something tomorrow

    I’ve only been going by my new name for a couple weeks and it already makes me sad when I have to put in my old one (I guess it’s my deadname, really) in for official legally stuff. Bleh

    CW: kinky/horny

    Help, the website I buy stuff from is now showing me “pet” leashes, cat/fox ears and tails (the kind that go on THAT place).

    On one side, I think it’s hilarious that they sell this stuff there, but I really ain’t interested in the leash stuff. At least there’s some cute paw socks that I kinda like, but that’s not very cheap.
