Being busy with real life, so I just watched The Sims channel on Youtube, I found youtube video

EA what is this? l Sims 4 For Rent Expansion Pack by Matinee

Ha ha ha.

"Coconut rice"?

What the ****, EA? As a Southeast Asian I never heard of term "Coconut rice"

I asked my real friend from Malaysia, and she was confused with word "Coconut rice" too, she laughed then replied to me, "You mean Nasi Lemak? *laughing emoticon*"

^ Yes, seriously, but I cannot show her chat screenshot due to privacy.

Probably Coconut rice is word invented by Westerners or White Caucasian race. As if the word sounds like "Rice" with grated "Coconut" toppings, which sounds very misleading.

As Southeast Asian, we say dishes that have rice cooked with coconut milk in direct name of the dish, not just "Coconut milk rice" or "Nasi Santan". Malaysians call it Nasi Lemak. Indonesians call it Nasi Uduk. Thais call it ข้าวเหนียวมะม่วง (Khao Niao Mamuang) --> Thai Mango Sticky Rice

Here are pictures of Coconut Milk. For this kind of product it is called "Coconut Cream" because it has little amount of water. 100% legit my own photos I took from nearby minimarket.

By Googling "Nasi Lemak", here is the result:

How could EA, as big massive company make stupid mistake like this? Designer is not just 1 person in studio. There are Intern, Junior Designer, Senior Designer, Supervisor, Art Director. And there are a lot of people in the studio who can supervise and give feedback and advise internally. And yet they cannot Googling "Nasi Lemak" properly. What's the point of Supervisor and Art Director once again? Makan gaji buta? Eating salary without giving effort at all?

EA wrongly represented Nasi Lemak with random rice texture, but then they decided to just "renaming" it with Western/White Caucasian term "Coconut rice" instead of giving update correct Nasi Lemak mesh.

As a designer from corporate who had worked in video game company before, I can tell you this apologize is not sincere and lazy. The proper apologize is supposedly making proper new mesh update of Nasi Lemak.

CC creator, icemunmun, from India, has already created functional Nasi Lemak. CC LINK DOWNLOAD

EA is massive company releasing The Sims as AAA video game titles from The Sims 1,2,3,4 with many expensive expansion packs who brought them massive profit yet they didn't want to spend any effort to give correct proper update with one new mesh.

As if they already know they made mistake and decided to not wanting to spend any more effort because

They already gained massive profit from international sales... and don't care much about players from Southeast Asian countries including Malaysian that their content depicted wrongly in-game as they thought Southeast Asian players are not profitable enough compared to USA and European players.

Ignorance about Asian culture, instead of hiring Southeast Asian people as staff/source person who are willing to give authentic information. They non-Asian people must be thinking that "Nasi Lemak and Coconut rice are the same thing because contains coconut!!"

Yes I know EA studio who created The Sims 4 content is from U.S.A. Here I need to tell you something, U.S.A. people: We Asians, including Europeans, took food very seriously. Food is culture. If you U.S.A people depict our food wrongly, it means you insult our culture. I heard many Europeans complained about U.S.A people who don't take European food culture very seriously. What if USA flag is wrongly depicted by other flag such as Australian flag or Malaysian flag? I bet you USA people are very offended, right?

People tend to learn something from media, movies and video games. Because many Westerners don't know Nasi Lemak, they will think Nasi Lemak looks like porridge like what depicted in-game. Despite White Caucasian of British colonizer had colonized Malaysia, yet many White Caucasian people still don't know what Nasi Lemak looks like.

This is not first time EA misinterpreted Asian culture. EA has wrongly misinterpreted Chinese culture very badly in Shang Simla world.

Thank you sister Martinee for daring to speak up about this issue.

What EA depicted as "Nasi Lemak"

Looks like baby porridge I ate because I was sick.

Roh (2019)

Home is supposed to be a space of safety and togetherness. It’s funny how all it takes sometimes is for something to go bump in the night for you to realize just how false and hollow that sense of security truly is. Roh paints with simple brush strokes, building its anxiety and tension through extreme stillness and a sense of anticipation and dread faced by the characters. There is something lurking off in the periphery, and maybe if they don’t look it won’t come for them. Elsewhere, simple gestures do all the work to create tension. Rocks strike the side of a home or something climbs on the roof, drawing out the vulnerability of those bamboo walls. Rhythmic knocking from an unseen force draws the ear. Something as simple as a pestle rolling across the floor can be frightening in the right context. This feels evocative of The Witch with dashes of Eyes of Fire, less the psychotronic visuals which make that latter film so bonkers. While not particularly bloody, it doesn’t pull its punches in the annihilation of a family by a force of evil.

Heightening the uncertainty facing this family is a sense of extreme isolation: widowed mother Mak only meets two other adults, a hunter and Tok, a seer of sorts. Both of these strangers are treated with hostility at first, and any offers for help, oblique though they may be, are rebuffed swiftly. Mak does come to trust Tok, for she seems helpful, offering rituals to ward off the danger her children are in after a young girl follows them home and curses them before slitting her own throat. The hunter, Pemburu, is coded to be untrustworthy, interwoven with a boogeyman figure that Mak warns her children about. But as things become ever more dire, just who—if anyone—can be trusted becomes muddier and muddier. The concluding conversation between Tok and Pemburu sees a victory in the war for Evil, Tok’s reflection in a bowl of water showing her true evil nature an interesting touch. The Lord works in mysterious ways, but perhaps that’s not the ‘Him’ she refers to…

THE RULES

No Straight Roads is an interesting game so far but I cannot take Kliff seriously because of how much he sounds like this YouTuber named Oxhorn

Like. Here's Kliff:

Hello! I would like to know why you support Palestine over Israel especially since Israel gives equal rights and freedom to LGBTQA++ people and women.

I don't know anon, my home country Malaysia doesn't legally support LGBTQA+ people and discriminates against women too... The logic / gotcha you're trying to imply from your question falls apart for anyone who lives in a socially conservative country (which is the majority of the world btw). Do you also agree the lives and rights of myself, other queer Malaysians and other Malaysians have less value objectively and in a conflict, should be killed indiscriminately because our country is LGBTQA+ intolerant? Yes or no? Get off anon and tell me to my face right now. The lives and safety of civilian people and children are unconditional. Just because a country has a better position on some social rights doesn't mean it is absolved or excused from performing war crimes and other human right violations. See: the US, UK, Australia etc. Folks are free to call out those wrongs whenever they occur. If your sense of justice, empathy and compassion is dependent on zero sum games and conditionality and no nuance, then you're not practising justice, empathy or compassion, but total arrogance and regressiveness. There is no argument to be had here.
