The games we play.
The masks we wear.
the modulation of emotional state at the boundaries of the map of social context that we use to define our territory.
"Are nations not real, then? Of course they are, just like ant colonies, nations interact with the world.
They can change landscapes, wage wars, grow or decline, and they can stop existing.
But they only exist because of a lot of humans interacting with each other.
But not just nations. All the complex structures that surround us emerge from us.
Even if we don't intend to, we are constantly creating.
Communities, companies, cities, societies."

@literallyfenic I wish more designers had an interest in the variations of cognitive and mechanical impairments of players. It bothers me a bit that these kinds of accessibility features are often just some kind of check-mark thing that people throw in after the fact.
I think there is an amazing amount of gameplay possibilities if these ideas are played with as part of the mechanics (and not just horror games). And would go along way toward getting devs to be literate in the issue.
Drawing and redrawing, tracing patterns in our skin.
Imbuing our ourselves with symbolism of our past ancestors.
Embedding the powder in our skin with tribal etchings.
Imbuing our cells with symbolism of our past ancestors.
Mixing our blood metaphoric with the blood of real.
Blood becomes ink, bonding us to history.
Marking tribal boundaries with ink on paper.
Excreting words from our fingertips like animals excreting their own boundaries in the wild.
The ink of History leading to bloodshed.

While I truly enjoy learning of the great thinkers of the West, their axioms were not developed with the wellbeing of "my people" in mind. I therefore apologize
for my dullness and slowness of understanding, while daring continued doubt of their modes and methods through humble (and at time erroneous) reflections. It's a necessity for survival. I reject universally expanding conditioning based on the classical thoughts. They are no more than opinions relative to their speakers' cognitive state.

Let's straighten some facts:
1. It's Persian, not Arabic. (please do not be xenophobic, it's against the guidelines of m.s)
2. Which when it comes to language codes is [fas] rather than [fa] which we do have a filter for (Farsi).
3. If the language can't be detected it defaults to the servers "default" language, which for m.s is English, which we realized was unfortunate.
4. We immediately began discussing fixes to this "problem" yesterday.
North. East. West. South.
