To me as a Malaysian: it’s complicated. At least for James Brooke the White Rajah of Borneo, some local do adore him as a ruler, or at least liked him because him ruling mean no more war between tribe.

Also as a non-malay, i cannot imagine or dare to imagine a modern Malaysia where Malaya/Borneo didn’t get conquered by European, because there won’t be one, and seeing how Saudi Arabia turn out to be these day. While British leave a mess here and there, they also leave democracy to this land, combined multiple state into one, abolish slavery(the sultans endorse slavery and enslaved non-muslim), and weakened the sultans to almost a decoration state. So at least now we just have to satisfy the freeloader asking for rent, than a monarchy state that will dictate everyone based on a fantasy book from ages ago.

So while the coloniser(Portuguese, dutch, then brits) are bad guy, the one they colonised also very much a bad guy. To me they’re like the left but from Injustice universe.

Finally started Monster Hunter Rise this week after getting it cheap, i know i’m gonna love this game when i first hear the classic UI sound. It’s a homage to the classic while retain the update World provided. Lot more monster, wacky weapon and armour design, light bow gun have better upgrade and dropped the insane recoil most high level ammo have, dropped the overly convoluted canteen ingredient combination, anime wall run, even more streamlined resource gathering. What’s not to like? Unfortunately i don’t dig the map design, it’s really bland looking, a bit of a step back compared to what World has. It’s a bit easier too, so far at 3 stars most monster doesn’t even have a chance of limping before the mission is over.

But overall it’s great, would be sad to see a lot of improvement getting removed when i goes into Wild next, as with all the spinoff often do.

Imagine a long day chasing a deer on foot for 10km, drag it back home, and then start playing Monster Hunter while your group preparing the meal. That would be the bestest day.

Ahh, it’s been 200 millions year since i heard about this game, been thinking about replaying it since i haven’t even close to finishing it. Though thinking back, the controversy surrounding him is way over blown, lots of unwarranted hate been throwing at him for minute reason, but that’s kinda like the internet thing.

Done with Iceborne last week, so it’s cities skyline this week. I feels like, every map i build the fun is really on “how you gonne fix this mess of a city that you’ve made” instead of “how well i can plan the city”, so it’s now i’m back to fixing the traffic jam for the junction coming into the city, where i put everything too close to the entrance and traffic will backed up a bit from time to time. At least it isn’t kilometers long like last time, which backed up to the existing highway.

Played Hades 1, it’s super good when it clicked, if not it will feels like any other roguelike.

Maybe Wolfenstein 1 or Bloodstained, my list is super long and there’s like tons of game i wanna play. Bang for buck wise i’d go for Wolfenstein 1 & 2 probably.
