Operation: Epic Furious (opens in new tab)

It's great except the war is obviously for Israel not oil, we had more access to oil before the war

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

Why was this removed from the front page? It was number one just a couple minutes ago

Is this post shadow-flagged or something? It’s off the front page.

Who remembers the Newgrounds games making fun of Bush during the Iraq war?

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

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

Hilarious. I played through it twice. I think I found everything except for the vial of measles. Maybe it was never meant to be found hahaha

"Hold Hands" > GAME OVER

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

I decided to get the diet coke and call it "enough" for the day.

Anyone finish burning the files yet?

I tried... but it looked like it would take awhile...

Excellent. I remember King Quest, Larry Quest and the rest and it immediately gave me the same nostalgic vibes.

This would be perfect on a play date

For what MAGA views as good for the USA is actually a deplorable loss for the civilized world.

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

I should have gone ahead with the diet coke

WHAT

this game has been deployed IRL to arcade cabinets and troops have been spotted playing the cabinets

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

This is genuinely funny. Spot on.

love the music

I understand this is probably flagged for "off-topic or political", but can we just appreciate the 1980s/1990s pixel art vibe? There is so much here: A blend of NES Final Fantasy and NES StarTropics. Plus, the enemies and their names are genuinely funny: Handsome Mamdani (after new NYC mayor), DEIyatolla (after Iran Ayatolla), low flow shower head (seriously, I had to Google this one!). Also, the anonymous artist collective behind it, Secret Handshake, is worthy of discussion.

I played the game for a bit, but I cannot figure how to win. (FYI: Google tells me with bad AI/LLM that it may not be possible to win.) I can finish all side quests except I cannot find Kash Patel's (beer) ping pong balls. I even figured out how to beat the "Weak on Crime Pope" using a magic spell. When I sit on the golden toilet and use Truth Social to post, I "win"... then when I try to leave the building, Theo Von forces me to repeat the game. Also, there are two broken bridges that I cannot fix. Also, I can collect one extra barrel of oil ("lube"), but no idea if I can use this extra barrel.

Man no ball room?

Does the game just loop? I got the lube, then the TP, then the lube again, then the TP again...

I mean it'd make sense for it to loop, but I'm just wondering if I'm missing something or should I just call it there.

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

Reminds me of that Alex Jones shooter

I think we know why Trump needs three barrels of lube... for his best friendstein!

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.

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.
