This is the “Communist” room at the Love Villa Hotel in Nonthaburi, Thailand, which is an hour or so away from Bangkok. The room was decorated with Hitler and Nazi imagery.

I spent five minutes trying to take the perfect screenshot for the top of this post on Radical Fish Games’ CrossCode. First my party members wouldn’t get into position. Then other players kept running through the scene. These are typical massively multiplayer online RPG problems, only CrossCode isn’t a real MMORPG. In development for ages…
