The IDF took 3D animations from the Scottish Maritime Museum, a cyberpunk project and other places to make shit up about Gaza, Lebanon and Iran and these were reproduced in international outlets for the past 2 years.

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is now unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war

One issue I talked about in Slave Revolt on Screen was how the early 2010s burst of energy at Ubisoft & other companies - diversifying characters and narratives - faced a backlash after GamerGate. The women developers who'd made great games NOT celebrating colonization & conquest lost jobs./

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

Framed.

Verso stands in front of a framed canvas. The canvas is sliced, and the frame is broken and burning. Verso is holding his sword and parrying dagger and standing among the flamed, looking back at the viewer like he's daring them to pass judgement on him.

I just keep coming back to the poor frogs. From Grandeladge to the Delta, no amphibian is safe. I wonder how many frogs Calanthe thought she saved when they traveled together, only for Treju to secretly steal them back for a snack later. #pathfinder2e #actualplay

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.
