  • Bought Fursan Al-Aqsa: Knights of the Al-Aqsa Mosque a while ago on discount. Finished it last week.

    For those who don’t know, it’s made by a Palestinian man that lives in Brazil. Got banned in the UK and EU after he added a “Operation Al-Aqsa Flood” mission(basically october 7)

    There are actually 2 games in it. One that’s already finished called “Classic” and one that’s currently being developed called “Remastered”. The classic plays a lot like early 2000s shooters like Delta Force. Expects you to go in carefully, conserve your resources and peak around corners and such. I like it a lot but it would probably be frustrating/feel outdated to people used to modern FPS. Contains classics like fighting on an Israeli “frigate” that looks like a WWII battleship, feed the captain to a giant shark with Palestinian flag painted on it before blowing the ship up. Or sneaking into the Iron Dome command center, rescuing Abu Obeida obaida-index before blowing the entire base up. Abu Obeida sacrificing himself to ensure the success of the mission.

    The remastered version plays more like shooting galleries with wall runs and regenerating health. Has less substance IMO except hilarious cutscenes straight out of Mortal Combat. Currently only has 4 levels and is in the middle of an engine upgrade, so who knows if it will ever be complete. The “update preview” shows a 3D render of Yahya Sinwar sinwar-victory , which is cool.

    Should only take about 7 hours to complete. With an all achievement completionist run taking 9-10.








  • I have a question but I don’t want to start a new thread so here: (Israel & politics related)

    Why can’t Israel stop doing the genocide?

    Clearly it’s not going well. It’s destroying their image not just in the west asia region, but also the entire globe. Being against Isn’treal is becoming more mainstream than ever. And they are paying a lot in (American) resources and lives.

    Like it’s not like they can’t stop because they are in a war or something. At any moment, they can just turn around and say “we have achieved everything we wanted, war’s over”. There are no foreign occupiers in Israel except the Israelis. The whole 12 day Iran war could’ve been avoided entirely if they just didn’t bomb Iran out of nowhere.

    Why? Why can’t they just stop? Why do they feel the need to keep going?

    The only theory that makes sense is that the Israeli society is so twisted, they are basically doing blood for the blood gods now. But I don’t want to believe that, I believe in every country being rational actors. I’ve seen the harm of western media characterizing whole countries as “evil” or “hate us for our freedoms”, I don’t want to do the same. I feel like I must’ve been missing a critical piece of the puzzle here. What am I missing?





  • This visa things has been going on for a few years now.

    Used to familiar with a biotech company in china, they were working with an american firm to do testing and needed to send about 30 employees over. Despite having invitations from the american company and all documents in order, around half of them got rejected with no stated reason. (Apparently the policy is that they do not need to give a reason to reject visa) Almost like they needed to hit a certain rejection quota.

    I’ve visited a handful of countries myself. US, by a long shot, is the hardest to get a visa from. Even with a visa, they had the most strict customs to pass through, treating everyone as a possible threat/illegal migration risk. And I’ve been led to a separate room and been told to wait more than once.(I’m probably on a list or something) Love the place but I’m not planning on visiting any time soon.
