New Old Games

The Game Boy turns 35 this year, with the anniversary of its first release in Japan just two days away. In recent years, we’ve seen the Game Boy celebrated more than ever. Nintendo officially added the platform and a library of games to its Nintendo Switch Online service. Companies like Analogue and FunnyPlaying have released FPGA-based consoles that emulate the original hardware and support…

69 tote Vögel unter einer Windpark-Anlage entdeckt

Der Tages-Anzeiger (TA) bezweifelt, dass die Zahl der Vögel, die den Rotorblättern der Anlage zum Opfer fallen, unterschätzt wird. In einem ganzseitigen Artikel berichtet die Zeitung, dass ein Biologe der Schweizerischen Vogelwarte in Sempach im Juni 2021 unter einem der Türme des Windpark Gotthard 69 Vogelkadaver gefunden hat. “Ich war beeindruckt, wie viele tote Tiere ich rein zufällig…

Perhaps it’s apt that a dying political ideology seeks redemption in a dead discipline. As the Israeli government and public become ever more vocal and defensive about their daily practice of abuse and murder, as another Nakba is initiated with impunity and in fact legally sanctioned, liberal Zionists continue to dwell in what Saree Makdisi has called a “culture of denial.”[1] Purportedly aghast at what their Israel has become, some intellectuals—rather than honestly reckoning with the past—resort to desperate exercises in obfuscation. A new book edited by Stefan Vogt, Derek Penslar, and Arieh Saposnik, Unacknowledged Kinships: Postcolonial Studies and the Historiography of Zionism (2023), seeks both to rescue Zionism from its history of violence in Palestine and delegitimize efforts for Palestinian liberation. 

“Complexity” is the order of the day. A history of colonialism that has become clearer by the hour, both because of its increasing desperation on the ground and the efforts of committed scholars to carefully expose its methods and rhetoric, is made opaque. Devoting all their energies to language, to the cherry-picked utterances of one or another Zionist, at the complete exclusion of the material reality of Zionism in Palestine or Israel’s insidious role in the Arab world or across the three continents, is the basis of this endeavor. The editors claim—as Penslar has done since his well-known and widely criticized 2001 article “Zionism, Colonialism and Postcolonialism”—that Zionism cannot be understood as “colonial” because it was both an anti-colonial nationalist movement (even “subaltern”) not a colonial enterprise projected from a metropole and a postcolonial, developmentalist, state like so many others.[2] And if one must reluctantly claim Zionism as colonialism and Israel as colonial, that can only be done in reference to the events of 1967 and after (and even then, with extensive hand-wringing, or in the case of Johannes Becke’s contribution to the volume, tendentious comparison). The colonial project in Palestine explicitly initiated at the end of the nineteenth century by European Zionist settlers, facilitated by the British Empire in the 1920s, accelerated in the 1930s, consecrated in 1948, and continuing to this very day, is rendered irrelevant.

For the editors and a number of the contributors, “postcolonialism” refers principally to the work of Homi Bhabha and his notion of “the in-between.” The binary of colonizer and colonized is deemed insufficient for understanding Zionism by the editors, and Bhabha’s writing on the “hybridity” and “instability” produced by colonialism is taken as a guiding gesture.[3] Recourse to Bhabha and the wielding of his work explicitly against that of the anti-colonial Edward Said—Unacknowledged Kinships foil from its first paragraph onwards—has its origins in the reception of Anglo-American postcolonial theory in Israel during the 1990s. The journal Teoria ve Bikoret, founded in 1991 in Jerusalem and edited until 1999 by the Israeli philosopher Adi Ophir, was the principal forum for post-colonial theory in Israel. “Academic and journalistic texts” Ella Shohat writes of this period, “have fashioned a kind of folk wisdom that posits Homi Bhabha as having surpassed Said.” “Without engaging in any depth Said’s oeuvre,” Shohat continues in an indispensable 2004 article for the Journal of Palestine Studies “or the varied debates around postcolonial studies, the facile recital of the Bhabha-beyond-Said mantra has come to be an entrance requirement for ‘doing the postcolonial’ in Israel.”[4]

Thirty years later, the editors of Unacknowledged Kinships seek novelty. The reasons for which are political, they argue. The collaboration of postcolonial studies and Zionist historiography, the editors hope, “could help overcome the destructive competition that often exists between the struggles against racism and the struggles against anti-semitism, in favor of a joint effort to confront past and present forms of exclusion, subordination, and persecution” (5). What the editors clearly mean is that they would prefer if anti-colonial and anti-racist organizers and intellectuals would desist from criticizing Zionism and Israel on anti-colonial and anti-racist grounds. The editors are explicit later in the introduction when they claim that postcolonial scholars’ support for Palestinians and BDS is partly due to their “sometimes insufficiently complex view of the conflict” (15). The editors take ambiguity—the other keyword that dominates the book—as “the very foundation of postcolonial studies” (15). Ambiguity, they argue, must be reaffirmed. [...]

Love the Vanja Utne artwork for the title screen.

And Facet's great pixel artwork.

[retronator]

It’s a rare treat to get a new text adventure released all across 8-bit and 16-bit systems, especially one so beautifully illustrated. The Curse of Rabenstein comes with original graphics by Dylan Barry a.k.a. Dylan Burytheaded a.k.a. railslave (Amstrad CPC version) and converted to all other systems by the game’s main author Stefan Vogt (Amiga, Atari ST, DOS, ZX Spectrum/Next, Commodore 64/Plus/4). Yes, the team went true old-school and ported the game across main 80s/90s systems (at least the ones we had in Europe), adapting the art to each machine’s (often severe) limitations.

Chunky Amstrad CPC pixels on bottom (2:1 pixel aspect ratio), Amiga/ST/Dos conversion to squares above.

Gameplay itself is very enjoyable and I was able to get through it without hints in about an hour or two (just read the instructions to learn about the EXAMINE and SEARCH commands which carry you through most roadblocks). The atmosphere follows a colorfully moody medieval setting and progression towards the end will reward you with a spooky narrative and 20 beautiful location illustrations.

Commodore 64′s subdued palette lands an especially fitting version to the game’s graphics.

Physical releases of The Curse of Rabenstein are available from poly.play (around $30 for an actual box with many goodies inside, available per system) or you can get the digital versions from itch.io (pay what you want, even free). Time to fire up those emulators!

This is gonna be haaard

Day 8- What is your all time favourite podium?

Men's

To-ta-ll-y these four. Don't @ me. For the record, these are Willingen 2019/20 (1. Stephan Leyhe 2. Marius Lindvik 3. Kamil Stoch), Kuusamo 2016/17 (1. Domen Prevc 2. Severin Freund 3. Peter Prevc) Nizhny Tagil 2014/15 (1. Anders Fannemel 2. Gregor Schlierenzauer 3. Severin Freund) and the hilarity that was the Sapporo 2016/17 podium (1. Maciej Kot and Peter Prevc 3. Stefan Kraft).

A very honorary mention has to go to 2019/20 season's Nizhny Tagil because it gave us these two podiums: (Saturday 1. Yukiya Sato 2. Karl Geiger 3. Philipp Aschenwald and Sunday 1. Stefan Kraft 2. Killian Peier 3. Ryuyu Kobayashi)

Women's

Ok, so, the reason I love the 2012/13 podium in Oslo (1. Sarah Hendrickson 2. Sara Takanashi 3. Jacqueline Seifriedsberger) is not only the women on the podium but also the fact that the comp before that in Trondheim was the exact same podium in the same order and the 2nd Ljubno competition of the season before also was exactly the same. The other three podiums are excellent too, just look at them: Hinzenbach 2014/15 (1. Carina Vogt 2. Daniela Iraschko-Stolz 3. Špela Rogelj), Planica 2013/14 (1. Sara Takanashi 2. Yuki Ito 3. Julia Clair) and Rasnov 2017/18 (1. Maren Lundby 2. Katharina Althaus 3. Nika Križnar)

Bonus: This crazy podium

To all those who watched Oslo 2015 live: How did you survive this podium 🙌 Like, we have Sevi on 1st, Noriaki Kasai on 2nd and Kamil Stoch and Peter Prevc on 3rd! That is crazy!
