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
No - it indicates gross incompetence of the people in charge of the war and its communication.
Any media worth its salt spend a brief time explaining why invading Kharg would mean mass US casualties, while having no critical objectives only achievable by seizing Kharg.
If one of your media sources only echoed "reports of the US looking to seize Kharg island" without that context it was wasting your time for attention.
This is one of those submissions that will invariably descend into a flame war if someone dare criticize it and infringe upon the consensus joy of others.
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.
I know this is frowned upon on HN, so feel free to vote me down.

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.
It's great except the war is obviously for Israel not oil, we had more access to oil before the war
Oil prices going up is “good” for petrol states who aren’t blocked.
But yeah fair callout about Israel.
They say Palantir israeli good software ;)

Trump meeting with China this week, China maybe part of the calculus
Is this post shadow-flagged or something? It’s off the front page.
makes sense political
Political doesn’t equal not relevant to HN
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
Can't rock the boat too much, when the captain has a lot of money

Who remembers the Newgrounds games making fun of Bush during the Iraq war?
Absolutely brilliant and I'm amazed at how current it is. Huge kudos to the developer.
I was unsure if this was a legit propaganda piece for the first few seconds!
Here's hoping there are expansion packs (and that Mexico will pay for them).
For what MAGA views as good for the USA is actually a deplorable loss for the civilized world.
Anyone finish burning the files yet?
I tried... but it looked like it would take awhile...
I decided to get the diet coke and call it "enough" for the day.
"Hold Hands" > GAME OVER
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.
Excellent. I remember King Quest, Larry Quest and the rest and it immediately gave me the same nostalgic vibes.
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.
And Hero's Quest, later known as Quest for Glory. This was arguably more fun because it added RPG traits.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quest_for_Glory%3A_So_You_Want...
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 :)
This would be perfect on a play date
It's rpgmaker which might use the "local storage api" for some state management depending on the exact version.
It’s so hard to parody these mfers, like AJ - no matter how outrageous, could very well fit in their actual week
I think we know why Trump needs three barrels of lube... for his best friendstein!
I should have gone ahead with the diet coke
Man no ball room?
If Iran would have ball room, Khomeini would be still alive.
love the music
I can't believe we're so beyond parody at this point. Also, instant game over from trying to hold Melania's hand lol
Try again, fighting the Pope is worth it.
Wait, I thought the game just loops and you're stuck getting lube.
You get lube the first time, then collect TP (and fight the pope to get one oll of TP). Then back to lube, but slightly different. I stopped there.
Idiocracy was supposed to be a warning, the GOP took it as an instruction manual.
It’s the easiest way to make money!
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.
Reminds me of that Alex Jones shooter

Sounds like a feature, not a bug
Try going to chrome://gpu and looking for red text or error messages
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.
I was going to say that political censorship is out of control in the US, but that appears to be a Canadian ISP?
A DNS WHOIS [1] shows what's likely the cause:
