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

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

Wow - the writing in this is fantastic. This is genuinely hilarious!

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

Amazingly high-effort art.

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

Excellent. I remember King Quest, Larry Quest and the rest and it immediately gave me the same nostalgic vibes.
lorecore•22m 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.
benoau•18m ago
And Hero's Quest, later known as Quest for Glory. This was arguably more fun because it added RPG traits.

Space Quest was my absolute favorite!

Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of Lounge Lizards, if we're to be pedantic, with episode subtitles like Love for Sail :)

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.

Error Message on Chrome:

Sounds like a feature, not a bug

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.

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.

Useful - thank you. I will contact them.

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

It's great except the war is obviously for Israel not oil, we had more access to oil before the war
captainbland•4m ago
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
namuol•4m ago
Oil prices going up is “good” for petrol states who aren’t blocked.

But yeah fair callout about Israel.

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

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

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