I was in an izakaya in Tokyo having beers after an interview with Hitoshi Sakimoto and Richter.
We were discussing about everything when the conversation turned to Dungeons & Dragons.

I met Hitoshi Sakimoto and Richter at Basiscape's studios in Tokyo, one a legend of video game soundtracks, the other his talented new Italian collaborator.
I chatted with both of them about how Basiscape works behind video game soundtracks.

To anyone reading this and not knowing what the hell is happening, here's a glimpse: substack.com/home/post/p-...
Kojima, quindi Sniper Wolf era solo un paio di tette di origine curda?
Kojima si fa fotografare con Zerocalcare, pubblicando anche lo scatto sui social, quindi si tira indietro di fronte alle polemiche di origini turche, dimenticando di aver difeso la stessa causa.

FACT 5: I will never buy a Kojima game anymore.

FACT 5: I will never buy a Kojima game anymore.
All these facts lead to FACT 4:
Talking about the Kurdish question in the 90s was OK because the Kurdish were bombed in Iraq, a country where games were not sold.
Now, however, Kojima can bury his artistic and moral integrity because Turkey is a thriving video game market and he needs to sell.

FACT 3: Kojima cancelled the picture with Zerocalcare and Kojima Productions made that statement after some ultranationalist-propaganda-brainwashed Turkish dudes backlash on social media.
(Kobane Calling is about Kurdish vs ISIS conflict, by the way).

FACT 2: Kojima in the past talked about the Kurdish question: Sniper Wolf from Metal Gear Solid is Kurdish, she talks about the war and her childhood with suffering and bombs. This situation conveys the same messages as Zerocalcare's comic book "Kobane Calling".

FACT 1: Zerocalcare is not a terrorist, he has no convictions in any country, he has no extremist or divisive political views, unless you consider talking about the Kurdish question and the suffering of their people to be divisive.

I've already got next Sunday's newsletter ready and I can't wait to send it out.
It's an absurd discussion, a flight of fancy that started with a beer drunk in Japan with a legendary video game personality, but it will mainly be about D&D.

When MÖRK BORG appeared in 2020, it looked like a black metal album that had been accidentally printed in the games section.
A yellow spot that lit up the shelf.
MÖRK BORG was ugly, dirty, and evil.
And yellow.
