I want to see his diagrams, or at least photos of the infrastructure.
I can't imagine the heat buildup in that room after an hour if the infrastructure is all powered on at once.

Hell yeah! These were really fun for me to play as a kid, and I did like the Raptor ending in particular, but I always wanted a bit more, given how much effort it took to get to the end. Especially the Grant campaign.
As a kid, though, I just wish the map would change and display the next level on the map once you finished the third stage. Even if you couldn't pick your route anymore, it was always frustrating not really getting to see my progress after that point.
The subtle difference between their voices is the crying.
I played it a bit a decade or so ago. I never really got the hang of the main, game-defining mechanic; one of the main methods of movement in the world was to jump from a high point and build momentum while gliding to get higher, but that was also the main way to deal damage, iirc. It was very strange.
As for the crassness, the original Worms game had a self-destruct attack that was about as direct, iirc.
Trump's pick for Vice President. I didn't know who he was until he was announced, either.
Not to add to the whataboutism, but don't forget how the US firebombed Tokyo.
"Don't make perfect the enemy of good" essentially says that it's better to do what you can in the short term to reduce harm or make positive change than to wait for the perfect solution and do nothing in the meantime. The idea is that the good is still going to help some people while we wait for the perfect solution to the problem- which, crucially, may never come, or come too late for a whole bunch of people.
One example would be letting a parent having their kid eat fast food instead of a perfectly healthy diet because their parents live in a food desert; not ideal, but it'll keep the kid fed and alive.
The Innsmouth people may like it.
Tax evasion on top of the other illegal activity can increase the consequences if you're caught. They tend to require warrants before divulging information to other authorities, however any information gathered through legal means can be used against you.
The main benefit of reporting the income is to reduce the likelihood that somebody gets suspicious of the change in buying habits and starts in investigation in the first place.
It's probably less about the former president, and more about the GOP trying to torpedo efforts to pass a bipartisan border security bill. They've been fear mongering about the border for so long and so consistently, it wouldn't actually benefit them as much if such a bill were passed during the election season.
Even if he's only removed from the ballots in blue states, it'll have an effect on an downballot elections in those states. The base of the Republican party is still very deep into trumpism; and they're more likely to vote at all if their guy is on the ballot. If he's not, they may refuse to participate at all, which could potentially swing local races or otherwise make them competitive rather than safe positions.
On the national scale, if a congressional district is already competitive and those otherwise reliable Republican voters don't show up, it could give the democratic nominees for those districts an edge- assuming "keep Trump from getting back into the White House" isn't the only motivation energizing the Democratic party's base.
The Republican party's majority was already thin after the midterms, and the gap has been narrowing due to party infighting; on top of that, they barely won back the house during a midterm election without securing the Senate during the election cycle that is most advantageous to the minority party (since a ton of voters only vote during presidential elections).
The more states that ban Trump from the ballot, the more likely it is that the discouragement felt by the Republican party's base- particularly the Trumpist faction- leads to a number of them no longer feeling energized to vote, which may lead to progressive and centrist Democratic wins in competitive districts up and down the ballots, which may affect local or state politics enough to affect policy in a way that less more toward the progressive side of things- again, provided that the Democratic party doesn't rely too heavily on "we're not Trumpists" and find themselves going against Haley instead of Trump without a cohesive plan.
Tl;dr: Trump missing from the ballot in only blue states could still significantly affect downballot elections and initiatives, and give the Democratic party an edge in their efforts to take back the house and solidify their hold on the Senate- provided the Dems work on their messaging, energize their base, and win over independents.
They're effectively visual novels with light gameplay mechanics for navigation or making some narrative path choices. At least, that's how I felt about Until Dawn.
