Sorry for the late update. Was in a bad mental state last night. I think this will be the last edit.

Before you say anything, while you might think this isn't an unlicensed game, technically since there's no encompassing and enforced licensing system on the PC, all PC games are unlicensed. think-about-it

Under Siege is a PC game released in 2004/2005 that tells the story of a Palestinian family during the Second Intifada. Yeah it isn't exactly an obscure game, but I wanted to end my series with a game about shooting fascists rather than interacting with their underbaked brainworms. Unfortunately I couldn't get it to work so I have no personal opinions about the game itself.

The game can be downloaded here https://www.myabandonware.com/game/under-siege-gcg

Here's a few bonus NES games:

MiG-29: Soviet Fighter: You play as a Soviet pilot on a mission to defeat the World Terrorist Army. Plays a lot like Afterbuner

Tunnel War: A action video game adaptation of a 1965 Chinese film about a small village building a tunnel network to defend against a Japanese invasion during the Second Sino-Japanese War

Allied Death Squad: A port of the PC title "Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines", it's an action strategy game where you play as allied soldiers killing nazis and escaping their prison

Lin Zexu - No Smoking:
A beat-em-up about enforcing China's opium ban

Finished reading Little Blue Encyclopedia (for Vivian) yesterday. It's very, very affecting, definitely my favourite trans lit novel at this point and probably my favourite novel of the year already, I can't see anything topping it.

By trans lit standards, I feel like this one is a lot more interesting than most of the rest since it's able to be unmistakably and deeply trans without actually being about transness. Which like yeah some of the other novels aren't either, Nevada is about being stuck, several are about misogyny, etc... But they still feel like the transness is an integral part of that theme; Maria is stuck, yes, but she's stuck in her transition. Here the trans elements are important and you can't really remove them, but they aren't core to its themes of unrequited queer love, rather they add to it. And idk, I find that really compelling. I love that the characters are able to be trans, have that be important and not hidden, but also not be the entirety of the book. I love my lit about being trans, but this feels more immediately real to me than any of those besides Nevada. It definitely helps that I relate to it, a lot.

Besides that the actual structure is just pretty cool? The choice of writing a dual Encyclopedia/Eulogy is fantastic and unique, though I think I like it more in theory than in practice. The framing gets dropped more and more as the book goes on, which works in the sense of it emphasising the grief giving way to joy, but imo it leaves the actual encyclopedia elements very bare. I think there's an alternate version of the book where the encyclopedia format is maintained more and tied in closer thematically to the actual main narrative throughline, but tbh idk if that would be a better book than this is. Overall the book is messy at times and you can tell it's Plante's first novel, but for a first novel this is fantastic and I love it. I need to hunt her new one sometime soon.
