Reminds me of the Nisour Square Massacre in Baghdad by Blackwater mercenaries:

One of the senior military officers who testified before the grand jury, Col. Michael Tarsa, said that he rushed to the scene and came upon a “white Kia with two corpses inside, decimated with bullet holes and on fire,” the report said. He also saw other nearby vehicles “riddled with bullet holes,” even though they were “apparently fleeing the shooting.”

It's an isekai lol

It's VERY bright and colourful. It kinda looks like they made a Mario game with an engine used for anime games. They seem to continue the trend set by Wonder in making things very bold and expressive, now with cel shading.

And it's no longer constrained by the 3DS screen resolution, it's such a big improvement.

This new world seems to revolve around electrical stuff it seems. People made out of plugs and sockets and all that.

Anyway, glad that this series gets continued after the original developer shut down.

Number 5 is almost the subtitle of the first Bubsy game lol

For the record, this isn't in China. It's a project in Malaysia near Singapore that is targeted at rich people. It's basically a "sustainable" gated community.

And by "sustainable" I mean that they destroyed wetlands to build it.

It was a project by a Chinese housing developer and was an extension of the real estate bubble over there. A lot of buyers were Chinese, however, according to Wikipedia:

initial strong sales from China collapsed after its leader Xi Jinping implemented currency controls, including a $50,000 annual cap on how much buyers could spend outside the country.

The developer responsible is one of the big shots that suffered when the housing bubble was forced to pop. I have no qualms riffing on this particular project.

For the record: he's a former MP for Likud, between 2013 and 2015. He now has his own far-right party (named "Zehut" aka "Identity") and would run against Netanyahu in the next elections, according to Middle East Eye. https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israeli-former-knesset-member-moshe-feiglin-invokes-hitler-while-calling-gaza-resettlement

Oh, nice!

Why do I see it mentioned so rarely then? Is it because it's focused on retro/early modern games, and discourse is mostly interested in sites with contemporary titles?

I have stumbled upon this website that I have never seen talked about, yet seems to have an extensive library with easy navigation: https://myrient.erista.me/

Is anyone familiar with it?

I've noticed that a lot of new smaller titles are rogue-likes/-lites. Why is that?
