For Black History Month 2025, I wanted to create an as-comprehensive-as-possible evergreen directory for Black Game Dev projects that could be referenced in the future.
(Yes, even and especially during [Steam] sales, lol)
We're 7 days into BHM '25, so I'll start with 7 devs.

If you haven't seen my Black History Month Black Game Devs thread, please see below.
With the Steam Summer Sale going on, I'd like to do a "Juneteenth 2025" update.
What? It's still June ain't it?
I'll be updating this through the day.

Took swimming in college. Only had to go two days because I tested out.
I am a functional enough skater to make laps around the rink, not run into people, or bust my butt, but I'm definitely the opposite of smooth while doing it.
I envy the people who can skate backwards. Or fast.

I have a theory that the black people that can’t swim can skate and those who can’t skate can swim 😂

Ah, it now makes sense. Rich people started to feel impacted so democrats did what all neo-liberal capitalists do, and capitulated.

Turning my eyes away from Sports this weekend, seeing an aging Black man embracing his grace is weirdly inspiring.

One of those name brand is too big and famous to fail, to be held accountable situations.
The fact that they have practically infinite money and R&D for F1 while producing no results is embarrassing.

Establishment Democrats aren’t afraid of the GOP. They simply agree with the GOP in almost all the ways that count. And it is in those ways they do the most harm to the poor, to the sick, and to immigrants.

Never cared for the capitalism worship, but also, didn't want to be the household where kids grew up hating Christmas.

For all our Christmasing, the adults in my family are NOT exchanging presents this holiday season. Each kid will pick ONE main gift they want.
Our usual spending will go to those in need. We are NOT participating in Black Friday. We're reusing old holiday decor. *Not a dime extra for this admin.*

A friend hosted a bday get-together at an apple orchard.
(Weird) Midwestern things (to this Southerner).
She hired a friend/photographer and he jokingly suggested to the group that frolicking down the path would be fun.
So I demonstrated.

Wife spotted The Mighty Bowser at Barnes & Noble. It's on backorder on LEGO's site, and is retiring, which means it might be impossible to buy direct.
Ended up buying TWO retiring sets. The hat is going to a co-worker who is an HP fan.
Dog not included.

Taking it a step further, I believe that there's enough money made in this country such most people could do whatever they wanted, while living comfortably.
Imagine civilization without jobs, yet there is work, because people are free to choose what they love to do to live.
We could do it.

"flipping burgers" or "serving coffee" are devalued because the business can get away with pocketing the difference more easily, and you've been conditioned to agree with it.
if you're thinking that you believe in "capitalism," then you should be advocating for these jobs to earn a living wage.

I recently rewatched the documentary "Indie Game: The Movie" for an upcoming Triple Click bonus episode (don't miss it!) and it portrays Fez as a game in never-ending development hell, with fans wondering if it'd ever come out, because it had been in production for... 3 years. How quaint!

It's supposed to be a feel-good silly story but that detail is alarming. The entire TRIAL maybe should have taken that long.
