The amount of self censorship experienced by those outside of the status quo is unreal. "The in-group" says the nastiest, most backward phrases ever put together, and then hold the oppressed to an unattainable standard. God willing, a shift is happening.

One thing I've learned about researching game studios is that their own websites are poor sources because they won't have been updated in years, so you think maybe they're dead (which is what happens to game studios) only to find out they're actually working on a new game right now.

A giant mecha but piloted by your Arab uncle who used to be a taxi driver. He's killing aliens while blasting raï music at maximum volume. He does his own repairs with cheap car parts, and none of the engineers understand how its still running. He replaced the Coalition symbol with the Algerian flag

If you wonder why I've been out of the culture discourse for a few days, I judge every celebrity or influencer by whether they have spoken up about the genocide of Palestine and if they haven't I think they're not worthy of adoration, support, or platform.

I presented at my first academic symposium today. The topic was "Assaya Aiftiradia," a modern Arabic folkloric concept (Assaya Al-Sinwar) being applied to the virtual (aifitradia) space of videogames. Interesting experience. God willing, first symposium of many.

I just found out that spec ops: the line is no longer available on Steam. I'm deeply curious and more than a little suspicious about the circumstances.

I'm Jibreel, an anti-colonial game scholar. Follow if you want to see talk of videogames and Palestine on your feed. I'm joining this platform because I don't think microblogging itself is an issue but that the platform which hosts the microblogging can be more or less terrible for the medium.
