'Kowloon's Gate'

[PS1] [JAPAN] [MAGAZINE] [1997]

"Kowloon’s Gate is a very difficult game. It’s not difficult in the sense that it presents challenges you’re likely to fail, but in the sense that it closely guards its meaning behind a wall of symbols and nuance. It’s a poetic game that assualts the player with symbolism around every (often very literal) corner. To achieve this, it takes inspiration from a wide variety of sources, including but by no means limited to: • Gothic architecture • Dante • Carl Jung • The New Testament • Cyberpunk • Wherever the idea of a mass of TVs originated from It is not a game for the uninitiated. Yet in spite of its esoteric nature, Kowloon’s Gate has proven very popular. For a number of reasons the game has attracted a devoted following and remains fondly remembered among Japanese players even to this day." ~Hardcore Gaming 101

We each need to find our own inspiration, Kiki. Sometimes it's not easy.

DIRT documents: [# 5]

Drift stitching is a repair method where zip ties, wires, or clips are used to hold cracked parts together after an accident.

The technique became popular in drifting and motorsports because damaged bumpers could be repaired quickly without replacing the entire panel. Small holes are drilled along the crack so the material can be stitched back together and reinforced.

Over time, the repair style spread beyond racing and became common in DIY car culture. People have also used this method on motorcycles and anything in need of a temporary fix that doesn’t immediately hurt the wallet.
