Thinking about how the most catastrophic event of the 20th century could have been avoided if Britain, France, or other major powers had intervened when Germany invaded the Rhineland. Or annexed Austria. Or Czechoslovakia. Thinking about that, for no reason at all

Here's my thread of 2025 games made with Black leadership you should check out.
I'm not an advocate of supporting things just because X group made them - I share genuinely unique games that have something special about them that I think are worth checking out.
I just focus on #blackgamedev

POE-FUCKING-TAY-TOES
The Lord of The Rings movies were rated PG-13. By current rules that means that each film could contain one use of the word "Fuck". Which line are you altering to insert the most useful swear word?
"I can't carry it for you, but I can Fucking carry you"

If you use generative AI to "explore ideas" you are mentally weaker than even the smallest child. If you feel that you need generative AI to "structure your thoughts" you lack the confidence of an 8 year old. If you feel shame about your diminished inner world, you should. You're bad at daydreaming
