Maybe not this specific statement, but I think it certainly highlights that everything about the game in general has been kind of a mess.

Are they actually bounty hunters? The trailer made it seem like they were gladiators competing in a blood sport league.

Didn't Apartheid Lonnie refuse to pay rent for the office space for a while there? Did that ever get resolved or is he still defaulting on the rent?

Oh, it's even worse than that. My understanding is that the families that invited him are specifically families of soldiers who died during the pullout from Afghanistan. Y'know, the pullout that Trump announced out of the blue with zero prep work in the last year of his presidency and dumped on Biden's lap. They are celebrating the man directly responsible for their kids' deaths.

You're off by 4 years. It came out in 2010. Not old enough to vote yet, but then Disney throwing out gratuitous remakes and nostalgia bait is par for the course these days.

shrugs I wouldn't know. I'm not actually one of the people downvoting, which is why I used "they" and not "we".

Because the point is to let others know that they think it's a shitty bot and the admins pushing it onto everybody was bullshit. Can't do that if they just block it.

I could never get through the 2nd ostrich riding sequence in the 2nd level as a kid. The rest of the game was fine, though, once I used the level select to skip ahead. Turns out, it was because my eyesight was shit and I couldn't even see the correct obstacles on screen (I was trying to avoid the branches, but no it was pink hippos and bird nests the whole time, so my timing on the double jumps was always off). Replaying the game a couple years back when Disney re-released it alongside Aladdin, I found it still tricky, but doable.

Eh, the Boston Massacre was blown way out of proportion specifically to rile up anti-British sentiment. Those troops had been surrounded by a mob of several hundred people and verbally and physically assaulted for hours beforehand despite several attempts to deescalate. Honestly, the whole thing wasn't Ashley Babbitt levels of FAFO, but it was up there.

I feel it's also important to keep in mind that part of the reason the British decided to care about this was an attempt to recoup the costs of the French and Indian War, which the colonists started.

Thank you for reminding me that this ad campaign existed. You've made my day.
