Of course they're removing the BLM mural in Washington DC. This administration is sparing no expense to demonstrate just how much they disrespect BIPOC.

United might have the wrong impression of how large the airport is. 7-8 minutes, sure? 78, not unless you're a snail.

Just stumbled over this old FB post. That was when we were in the final stretch of the first Red Dead Redemption, after many months of crunch. And before ship date (the game shipped May 18, we were working 7 days a week in the months leading up to that). So if you're wondering why I left games....

I wouldn't rule out going back in the distant future, things have gotten better since then. Maybe one day.

It's unfortunate that the studio became another victim of the tech and gaming layoffs in 2024. It was refreshing to have a game dev run by Black creatives. And of course unfortunate that it didn't sell well and there unsurprisingly was a lot of racist haterade thrown at the game online. This is why we can't have nice things. /3

I really liked this game. Designed by Abubakar Salim as his way to deal with the death of his father, it incorporates various Bantu mythologies from all over the African continent. I'm not much into Metroidvania, but it was well executed and genuinely fun. /2

My favorite gaming moment in 2024: The final part in "Tales of Kenzera: Zau" as you enter the Realm of the Dead. It's not even a complex cutscene or anything, but the color palette, the imagery, the music and its vocals, the atmosphere, and emotionally everything leading up to it are just perfect. It's a short moment but it felt great. /1

What in the fresh hell is this CAPTCHA? Honestly I think an image processing model would have completed this much faster than I did, it took me forever to grasp what's really going on there.

Teens don't want to be seen with their parents. I get that. But maybe my son is a bit extreme? "Okay, drop me off at the Albertsons parking lot. I'll walk to school from there. Don't wait in the car. Leave immediately, drive to the other side of the block and get out there, wait two minutes, then go to the school for the appointment."
Dude.

All these people saying "most amazing truck ever" after their precious purchase literally falls apart evoke visions of hypnotized folks chanting a mantra that was drilled into them. https://www.torquenews.com/11826/tesla-cybertruck-frame-snaps-half-after-hitting-pothole-34000-4-months-fix-owner-says-most

I ran my first Spartan Beast in 8 years last week in San Luis Obispo! I beat my previous best time by an hour (as much as you can compare races). Came in the 92nd percentile of my age group. I'm tempted to try an Ultra again next year.

Why do many hotel booking sites not have the option to hide places that are sold out on the given days? What good does that possibly do, other than to mock me for my procrastinated travel planning?

All the newspapers not endorsing anyone for president are presumably scared that TFG might win and then unleash retribution on his "enemies".

Not surprising given the state of the industry right now, but still sad. We need more games by Black creatives, with Black characters, and with Black mythology. I liked Tales of Kenzera.
