    1. I may be repeating myself, but I really like how you organized your project and managed to use the Scalar platform fully, making your project really dynamic and interesting. I found it compelling, and I think it is interesting for anyone interested in posthumanism, even if they do not know much about video games because you organized your project in a very captivating way for the reader. Moreover, in addition to the images and videos, I particularly liked the addition of gifs which made your project even more dynamic. For me, the highlight of your project is really how you were able to exploit the features of the Scalar platform to make your project stand out. Side note, I think this page is one of my favourites of your project; it is so aesthetically pleasing.

    1. they offer methods of defamiliarization, allowing players to Become-Earth/Animal/Imperceptible. In effect, for the creative aspect of this project, I offer a self-reflection on the various elements—whether it be the plot, the avatars, the gameplay, or the console features

      For me, the strong point of your project is its originality. I liked how you linked video games to posthumanism. Moreover, the games you selected are very relevant and fit your project perfectly. Also, I liked how you linked theory to video games especially with the idea of becoming- as when you play a video game, and you take the position of the character you are playing, and, therefore, his subjectivity, then becoming- something new. It really challenges the the ideas of player only playing other human character, not only the video games can be posthuman but the player too.

    1. It is really creative of you to introduce a new form of becoming other than the ones we saw in class, becoming-imperceptible. However, I am not sure I understand it completely. As far as I understand, becoming-imperceptible is to be part of something bigger, making one less perceptible. Then at the same time, becoming-imperceptible also refers to endings and beginnings, as after an ending, what is before is often forgotten, or we could say it becomes-imperceptible. In fact, I was wondering how you understand becoming-imperceptible and do you think that this form of becoming- could be applied in another posthuman context.
