• Han Hak-ja questioned over bribery allegations involving former First Lady Kim Keon Hee
• Lawmaker detained over evidence destruction concerns, denies bribery
• Unification Church denies involvement, calls for prayer

SEOUL, Sept 17 (Reuters) - The leader of the Unification Church, Han Hak-ja, appeared for questioning by prosecutors on Wednesday over alleged involvement in bribing the wife of ousted South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol as part of a criminal probe into the former first couple. After more than 9 hours, Han left the prosecutor's office in a wheelchair, passing through a media scrum. She denied the allegations, and responded strongly "No!" when asked if she ordered bribery.

Let's see how long this one lasts, Square's mobile track record is pretty abysmal. Seems pretty low effort too, more hallway bullshit. I guess we will see

Machu Picchu (Peru) (AFP) – Peru evacuated some 1,400 tourists overnight from the train station that serves the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu, while about 900 others remained stranded Tuesday as protesters blocked the railway tracks, officials said.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1983, the ancient fortified complex receives some 4,500 visitors on average each day, many of them foreigners, according to the tourism ministry.

Residents placed logs and rocks on the tracks Monday to demand a new company be chosen to run the buses that ferry visitors from the Aguas Calientes train station, at the foot of Machu Picchu, to the site itself.

"We managed to evacuate about 1,400 tourists" stuck at the train station in an overnight operation before a fresh blockade Tuesday, Tourism Minister Desilu Leon told RPP radio.

Authorities have not said where the visitors were from.

A police statement said 14 agents were injured in clashes with protesters during Monday night's temporary unblocking of the tracks.

After the evacuation was halted, trapped tourists told AFP authorities had suggested they walk for several hours to catch a train or some other means of transport out of the Machu Picchu area.

"In my case, I can't do it because my wife is pregnant," said Chilean visitor Miguel Salas.

Leon said a meeting was planned with local authorities and unions "to find a solution" to residents' complaints.

Visitors arrive at Aguas Calientes by train from the city of Cusco -- the Inca empire's ancient capital -- some 110 kilometers (68 miles) away.

From Aguas Calientes they can take a bus to the entrance of the citadel, and return the same way.

The previous bus firm's contract had come to an end after a 30-year concession, but it has continued to provide services much to the ire of residents, who demand a new company, responsive to their interests, be chosen in a fair bidding process.

Machu Picchu was built in the 15th century at an altitude of 2,500 meters (about 8,200 feet) on orders from the Inca ruler Pachacutec.

It is considered a marvel of architecture and engineering, but has repeatedly been the scene of protests by locals pressing home their social demands.

In January last year, some 1,200 tourists also had to be evacuated from Machu Picchu. Many never even lay eyes on the site.

A year earlier, the complex was closed for 25 days during protests over the impeachment and arrest of then-president Pedro Castillo.

Tourism is key to the economy of Peru.

Over the weekend, ICE raids spread from Wilmington and Long Beach to Santa Ana, Downey, and Panorama City, with incidents of agents pointing rifles, rejecting legal documents, and detaining workers at car washes and Home Depots. Meanwhile, immigrant communities reeled from the death of deported mother Estela Ramos Baten, the abduction of a Chicago day laborer suing police, and mounting controversy over Trump’s shifting immigration policies at home and abroad.

Previously Enjoyed Games: Slay the Spire/Monster Train, Factorio/Oxygen Not Included, Stellaris/Civilization, Vampire Survivors/Brotato/Time Wasters, Noita, FTL/Into the Breach, Battle Brothers, Racing games like Rush Rally, Inertial Drift, Forza, Non-AAA sports are good, too! So not Madden or NBA but stuff like Tape to Tape or Golf with Friends are cool.

Preferred Genres: Not picky!

Budget: Sub-$25

Other notes: Okay, so, context -- I've been unemployed for two years and my wife for one year and we are on a shoestring budget. Like, literally EBT and medicaid. BUT the recent Facebook class action settlement money came in and I got a whopping $25 (hers hasn't shown up yet). We both share the Steam Deck and, since we haven't spent money on entertainment in any form since maybe January, we have decided to spoil ourselves.

That said, we want to make this $25 go as far as possible, so we're looking for recommendations of games that bring 110% maximum value. I will say that, because of the lack of replayability, we're not looking for narrative heavy games, RPGs/Action RPGs, Metroidvanias, things like that.

We intend to hold off on purchases until the next Steam sale to stretch our dollars, but we're definitely going to try any demos that are available for recommended games.

Thanks so much!

Update: Thank you all for the recommendations! We're going to try them all! Will respond as I get breaks throughout the day :)

Wow, so I guess they're just going to go ahead and remake them all then.
