Matching PJs goodnight to you all from this silly family of ours.

I blame Muji for this emotional damage. I saw this gorgeous cashmere coat and melted on the spot... Until I saw the price tag of 300€ 🥲

Look I don't believe in any religion, but all I can say is Astaghfirullah.

Control... It's all about control. They don't think about people's immunity and disabilities. Nor do they think about the human toll it takes to relocate families all across the world (7 international moves in my books). I wish it was the gaming industry, it's just the whole broken work system.

I hope the rest of the world follows. Enough with this snake oil era.

Even back in the days where I used to lead comms for really big franchises like World of Warcraft, I was known for giving out "too many" review codes. Leadership wanted just juicy exclusives from the big sites, but my strategy made it that the brand exposure in the Arab world almost tripled.

So quick update: The Arab League of Misfits has been ripping itself apart and putting itself back together again with new systems, tighter ideas, and the kind of absurd humor that made me start this project in the first place... In the meantime feast your eyes on this visual feast of a logo

Super glad to be part of the @indiegameawards.gg for the second time, amongst a wonderful team of judges including the wonderful @laurakbuzz.bsky.social, @stevesaylor.net, @alannamode.bsky.social and @slashie101.bsky.social to name a few.

18 months sober, one year and a half of dragging myself back into a body that feels like mine again 💪

So how's the French government system helping you these days to get you back on the workforce? By offering training in using AI for a job interview... Completely disrespectful and a farce of a solution, that only people like Genocidoogle make profit from.

I mean it's part of the Informa portfolio and it was already messy to start with. Glad I skipped being a jury this year and focus on actual awards that aren't a frustration

There's no bubble they say... It will be fine they say

Very happy to have been a part for the second year in the @Devgamm.bsky.social Awards' jury. There were lots of good games, and I'm forever impressed with the talent out there.

Oh hello there Riftbounds... Completely forgot about this

My partner is back from Barcelona and got me the best gift ever... A shawarma from Palestinian owned Haïfa restaurant. It tastes like freedom so go there if you're in town shawarmahaifa.com

What a suit... This is the stuff I want us fab game devs to go craft magic in

Rise Of The Northstar + Get The Shot + Half Me live at the Rockstore Montpellier... If only they would let me use my actual camera.

Pigeons think they are top gun pilots in Montpellier.They fly so low and fast in the tight alleyways of the city, and get super close to your heads.

Early morning trip to Montpelier solo so I can watch Rise of the Northstar tonight... Ready to get my ear blasted, while my partner and Oliver are having a day trip in Barcelone.

You have no idea how much of a "ride" it was to get a driving licence and the physical card arriving feels like a relief.

The Future Class initiative was supposed to mean something: a platform for the underrepresented, the emerging, the ones building community when the industry won’t. It's sad that I was practically begging for people to put my candidacy as one of the arab devs who hoped to be part of it one day.

I'm lucky to have an amazing partner and a treat of a kid. The only reason I'm not losing my sanity, nor stay hungry with our master chef and her Yuzu Grand Marnier double layer tarte.

Geoff's ads awards freezing the Future Class program is peak irony. The industry’s burning, more than 30K workers are out of jobs, and one of the few spaces meant to uplift new and marginalized devs gets iced.

Turning 39 today. Surviving the games industry, caffeine dependency, so if you feel like upgrading my inventory with a small birthday buff, my ko-fi’s open ko-fi.com/nazihfares

Shit, I'm officially one year away from turning 40

Nintendo themselves don't consider themselves a video game company, but since its foundation as a toy-maker that prioritizes entertainment for families... Their "console" isn't one to compete with as a video game maker.

What a good piece of news to wake up to... Alhamdulillah, there's still sanity in the world.

Come on beaver moon, give this brother a win.

I turn a year older in two days, and it's my first birthday in 17 years without a job. 80-something shipped games, dozens of teams, launches, sleepless deadlines, and the kind of love you only find in making things for players just to feel that the industry looks at you like you’ve vanished.

Every time you trace a catastrophe in the Arab world from Lebanon to Iraq passing by Syria and Palestine, far enough back, you find Dick Cheney sitting there like a cursed save point. One less architect of ruin is walking the earth.

New awareness campaign

An ode to Neoclassical and brutalist Montpellier from our past weekend trip.

Give this guy a chance.

The internet at your fingerprint... The funny thing about this is that it was a more secure private browser than most modern crap there is these days. Shame it doesn't work anymore as it doesn't support SSL.

Great and bad news for Lebanon. While I'm filling supporting the legalization, we all know whose pockets it will fill. mugglehead.com/lebanon-star...

Blessed Samhain: I'm listening to dozens of kids high on a sugar rush, losing their minds in the streets. One of them is pushing a trolley. They are 4-6 years old. Urban theater I tell ya

A former Mossad chief bragging about a global sabotage network, blackmailing judges at The Hague (ICJ), and planting traps across “all the countries you can imagine"... And they still pretend we’re the threat for calling out Israel's genocidal regime. www.middleeastmonitor.com/20251030-ex-...

This kid and my witch love this season. Blessed Samhain to you all.

COVID booster and flu shot acquired. Can't trust the rest of the population to be safe.

100 Palestinian killed by Israel during the so-called ceasefire. It was never about the hostages, self defense of anything other than land grabbing by exterminating a populations. www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

Credit rolls on Pokemon Legends Z-A and I did not expect a Gundam style final battle. Spoiler for many

Imagine you're so in bed with Trump and AI ponzi schemes that you're willing to let the current US government make use of Halo for right wing propaganda.

Is there a way to block baseball themed skeets? Asking for a friend.
