'Metroid: Zero Mission'

[GBA] [GERMANY] [MAGAZINE] [2004]

"This martialische Odyssey delights both eye and ear with a technically polished presentation that frequently calls to mind the opulent production values ​​of Samus Aran’s SNES adventure. Meticulous details—such as tiny beetles crawling up the Iron Lady or the superbly remastered sound effects from the NES original—leave absolutely nothing to be desired. The story is advanced through infrequent anime sequences that feature minimal dialogue but an abundance of atmosphere. Unfortunately, the game’s runtime is rather brief: you will have completed the normal mode in just three hours. Unlockable goodies—such as a third difficulty setting or the original NES version—invite multiple playthroughs, though the level design itself remains unchanged." ~Max Wildgruber, MAN!AC (#127, May 2004) [BMT🤖]

Battle Mania: Daiginjō, 1993

Holy fucking shit, trans children can just die in a school shooting because apparently it's very important that we split shelter by gender and exclude all trans people.

At least it was just a drill, but holy fuck how are you an adult in this situation and genuinely think it's better to leave a child out in the open than have her enter the girl's locker room for shelter from a school shooter?!!!

The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

The records viewed by ProPublica list Ochoa, 43, and Gutierrez, 35, as the shooters during the deadly encounter last weekend that left Pretti dead and ignited massive protests and calls for criminal investigations.

Both men were assigned to Operation Metro Surge, an immigration enforcement dragnet launched in December that sent scores of armed and masked agents across the city.

CBP, which employs both men, has so far refused to release their names and has disclosed few other facts about the deadly incident, which came days after a different immigration agent shot and killed another Minneapolis protester, a 37-year-old mother of three named Renee Good.
