Xuan-Yuan Sword 3 tem vc resgatando mulçumanos do fanatismo cristão na Europa e viajando pela Rota da Seda. O foco do jogo é o conflito entre Califado Abássadia & Dinastia Tang, as maiores potências do séc VIII.

I remember when they made a book with 1001 games you must play and it didn't have a single King's Quest but listed all the GTAs & Mario Karts.

Raph is cool and a great storyteller, but media & academia have been doing MMOs = MUD -> Ultima Online -> WoW for 20+ years. NoClip has the resources to reach out to Asian devs like Song Jae-Kyung, to go beyond Anglocentrism. https://youtu.be/kHu709a0sp0?si=YgvTDb08-FG5uyhH21 Jul 2026 21:03 +0000at://did:plc:2pf42rbhkw5k7phpcmduow2h/app.bsky.feed.post/3mr6ph4bu2c2ohttps://bsky.app/profile/felipepepe.bsky.social/post/3mr5v2ems3c2tBack in Japan! 🇯🇵 All things considered, I should be happy I only had 3hs of delays in Dubai... but total travel time was almost 40hs 💀21 Jul 2026 13:10 +0000at://did:plc:2pf42rbhkw5k7phpcmduow2h/app.bsky.feed.post/3mr5v2ems3c2t
