Hey 👋
I've been a fan of this game for over a decade now, (even though I definitely shouldn't have watched a walkthrough that young I was like 10 or 11) but I must say this is one of my favourite playthroughs that I've experienced. I was luckily enough to catch Sara play the full game on twitch and they have such an incredible insight on the game. This playthrough definitely changed my outlook on Kenny. Thank you so much!
That's so kind of you 🥹 thank you so much for the lovely comment 💜
This was such a fun video, thank you so much for uploading it on TH-cam! I’m glad to see some love for the game it’s so underrated 😢 (in my opinion at least) Also can’t get over the fact that they named their rival Elen Musk 😭😭
The double chappal feels like Evelyn's last move with Jobu in Everything Everywhere all at Once.
Love it when different Asian cultures find commonality in our badass kinda scary mothers
All the catharsis , this is one of those moments where i could never write a story as emotive. I guess thats a WASP background thing.
Dia makes a strong entrance 👑
I like when I find new playthroughs of this game, and your perspective really adds to this!
A fantastic game that deserves all the attention it gets and more!
Asking from a place of ignorant curiosity. How do videogames as a medium fit with Islamic views on depicting human figures? Removing people would cut the medium down to Wordle and Tetris. Just lowkey wondering can hijabis even see the depictions they get with the skater in this.
On a lot of issues, including this one, there isn't necessarily a homogeneous Islamic view. Muslims don't always agree on our interpretations of the Qur'an and hadith, and some folks disagree about the importance placed on hadith as opposed to the Qur'an. As far as I know there is no specific prohibition on depicting human figures or any sentient figures within the Qur'an, but some people interpret the prohibition on idolatry in this way, partly based on hadith. Some religious scholars and judges support this ruling and some don't, and so many Muslims play and make games, including hijabis. - Sara
Cheers Sara, people are varied. I grew up in the English countryside in an area 97% white. I'm starting to meet Muslims regularly since the Palestine meetings.I'm curious but don't want to take up excessive space there, by asking things a child would.
@@davyhotch Questions asked in good faith always welcome here, the point of the channel is to learn and to educate each other! The golden rule is usually just to avoid making assumptions about people, or catching yourself unconsciously thinking that a group of people have a homogeneous view on any issue. You'll definitely meet Muslims with different views to mine but here I try to promote an inclusive, politically engaged Islam (Inclusive Mosque is a great organisation to check out to learn more about that). Hope that helps and thanks for watching and engaging! - Sara
i appreciated seeing you guys play through this. i wasn’t expecting this game to subvert the dating sim genre in this way, which honestly makes me appreciate it a lot more, as i had initially written off the game actually, expecting it to just be another dating sim. if you end up playing through the other characters/endings of the game, i’d be super interested to hear y’alls thoughts :)
Thank you 💜 We very well might as well really loved Inaya's story!!!
Is the military video essay still available to watch?

@@GameAssistPlays Thanks
ahhh im so glad to see you guys streamed this! i just watched your video essays (love them, they're so well written and researched!) but I'm so excited to see you guys play this game knowing your worldview and perspective! excellent background stuff to watch whilst i illustrate. thanks guys! <3
Thank you so much 🥰 We're glad to have you here! We do aim to have these chats about political issues more casually when we stream games (then post them here on this TH-cam account afterwards) so when we're not working on video essays there will certainly always be plenty of content here to check out 😁
My local Palestine Solidarity group donates to MAP. Cheers Sara for the stream.
That's awesome! Solidarity forever, free Palestine ✊🏽
