Hey y'all.
A South African dev released a blackity black game during BHM and it's currently getting the usual suspects in the reviews.
Imma grab this up myself anyway, but can we all be some chums and help push the racists out of the reviews? 🙂

if you played sonic the hedgehog and put down the controller, sonic would look at you and tap his foot impatiently. this was proof that sega genesis cartridges had souls. the decision was made to make the storage cases a lot larger than the cartridges so they would have room to move around in there

⚠️ Despite all the hype, chatbots still make terrible doctors. Out today is the largest user study of language models for medical self-diagnosis. We found that chatbots provide inaccurate and inconsistent answers, and that people are better off using online searches or their own judgment.

You know when you understand why and how systems are intertwined, and you see the necessary result barreling toward us, but you struggle to explain it because where do you even start the conversation? We all see it happening ots so obvious and yet giving context feels absurd?

It's not just fine but amazing to make amateur art. Humans are artmakers. You don't have to be professionalized as an artist, you don't have to make art of professional merit. Just create!

It really sucks that Microsoft sunk its claws into so much of the game industry and is attached to a ton of games I wanna play.
What sucks even more is supporting genocide, which is something Microsoft loves doing. I’m very in favor of Microsoft fucking off until it stops loving genocide so much.

Anyway, Microsoft's gaming products are subject to a boycott from the BDS movement, due to Microsoft's ongoing support for the IDF. Bethesda is owned by Microsoft.

The games industry is complicit in genocide. It’s time to divest.
