  • 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 I like it a lot but it would probably be frustrating/feel outdated to people used to modern FPS.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.


  • For me (non-American), it’s the age of drinking being higher than the age to own a gun or drive a car.

    Well I guess that’s not really culture. Okay, maybe this: Expect smiles and the nicest service from retail/customer service workers, who’s being paid the lowest and deal with the most amount of bullshit.

    Around here, people sort of just expect them to be playing on their phone and not really paying attention to you.







  • 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.
