It’s Seth talking about indie games! (This is the happy, fun part before he talked about how the industry is killing itself and lack of healthcare is destroying creativity in all industries...) #bostonfig #figtalks #hexadecimate #subalterngames (at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT))

“Neocolonialism" is something I would probably have classified as a buzzword, albeit a useful one, before this class, and I will readily admit that I usually skimmed over it in passing before this because I wasn’t sure why it was different from regular old colonialism. But it kept coming up in the reading in various different contexts, so I decided to figure it out. I was going to find a more "professional" source of information than Wikipedia, but I actually felt like I got a lot of valuable information from this article about why neocolonialism is so much more subtle and nuanced than what we traditionally think of as colonialism, but still has the capacity to be as poisonous and as dangerous.

I haven’t had time to do it, but the Yale library (I would assume SML) has a copy of Sartre’s Colonialism and Neocolonialism which I’ll probably take a look at later, if anyone else is also interested in knowing more.

A side note: in my searching I ran across this ridiculous game called "Neocolonialism: Ruin Everything" and I thought I would share it here because it’s just one huge, hard-hitting satire of modern capitalism.
