Such energy. Webber as Williamson and Odenkirk as Levene really helped push the film version out of mind.

There's a ton of other gaming news happening today, but I poured a lot of love into my South of Midnight review so I hope you check it out. @compulsiongames.bsky.social did a fantastic job with this soulful Southern odyssey and it's already a dark horse GOTY pick for me www.pcmag.com/reviews/sout...
South of Midnight Review
South of Midnight is a fun and charming action-adventure game that features a beautiful, unique, and tear-jerking world steeped in Southern US folklore.

Decided to be -incredibly basic- by spending the first 80-degree day in Prospect Park. Damn near dozed off under a shade tree as the good lord intended.

Incredibly humbled to reveal I won the Excellence in Media prize at the 2025 Black in Gaming Awards. Thank you so much to @blackingaming.bsky.social for this honor and congrats to fellow winners and nominees. Unfortunately, I couldn't attend the ceremony in person, but here's my acceptance speech!

Thriller is a fantastic album, but it shouldn't be surprising that someone dislikes a track. To be expected.

However, hearing that a Rolling Stone writer would've booted it and kept The Girl Is Mine is WILD.

The Museum of the Moving Image never fails to impress with how it can rope many topics under its umbrella. I saw this exhibit and was shocked to see the Zoo York Mixtape! Big screen showcased video clips of Meth, Busta. Lots of boards, too. Pretty dope.

What a moment. The Zoo York Mixtape was passed around and copied like Faces of Death.

I recommend having at least one very offline friend. To keep you grounded, sure, but mostly because as far as they're concerned your every common quip and turn of phrase is a perfectly bespoke and witty bon mot. Being someone's personal Oscar Wilde is like cocaine for the old ego.

A long walk is A+ for getting your head right and connecting w/ the city. Strolled from Harlem to St. Marks, on that Training Day tip:

"See, you got to hear the street. You got to smell it, you know? You got to taste that shit, feel it."

We need more analog living (as I type this online).

Just had a reflection with another former skater about being broke and crisscrossing the boroughs in the 1990s with a crew carrying a combined $20 in their pockets.

Wild how we stretched it out, and made sure everyone ate and drank over a weekend.

Community. Nothing beats it.
