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.

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.

I'm still rocking Firefox, but but ddg is my default search engine, and I've noticed less gray hair since I've made the change.
Made DuckDuckGo my default browser and my hairline started coming back

What's so cool about this book is that he could have titled it differently like, "Healthcare without Hope: White Reactions to Obamacare" for whatever and it wouldn't have hit as hard.

Literally dying of no other reason than allegiance to white supremacy.
I’m not about to get my pressure up, so I’d recommend reading this book if you haven’t. It highlights how whites voted to against things that benefitted them cause they didn’t want others to have access.

I haven't watched Dragon Ball content since I was in college, so I had to Google this one.

Funny cuz he changed his tone with the quickness!
Bulma: "Hey Vegeta. Let the others fight too, or I won't be taking another bath with you as long as I live!"
Vegeta: "Fine, i concede."

The average ACT score is a 19, but that's not reflective in the responses here.

Ivy League-tier scores in this thread.

Yall remember yall ACT score ?

I just need my wife to come back from being out of town and I'll be straight, LOL!

I don't begrudge the horny on BlueSky. Cause if you look at it, it's a new space and everything is exciting and new. Twitter had a long horny phase in our peer group at that late 20s early 30s time frame. I was there. Hell I told some of the horny jokes!

So there's "demon time" and then there are actual demons.

No doubt she's pretty, but does she have a pulse? Is she cold to the touch? Does the nani feel like trying to keep wood in a cold shower?

Good, because we were finna go all-in on Sling.

Still have to have a convo with the MRS about it. We kinda like those 4k Sling channels that are cheaper than the YT ones.
YouTube TV and Disney have reached a deal that will restore ESPN, ABC and other channels to the platform’s 10 million subscribers after nearly a two-week hiatus, the companies announced.

I remember this.

Wonder what happened to homegirl.

Joining Blacksky's first Virtual Event was an interesting time to discover that I'm blocked by Blacksky's lead moderator.

I wonder whose list I'm on?

Another tragedy that is the Death of Twitter, if I actually wanted to get updated on what's happening, there are fewer places to turn.

Spending 30 minutes of my day going down the trail of memes and reactions to find out what ppl are reacting and memeing about is unproductive.

No one asked for Navi in Metroid.

"Samus, there's something interesting over there. Are you sure we don't need to use that?"

I feel my soul leave my body...

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond delivers the series' trademark gameplay - but one very annoying addition might derail the whole thing:

I'm tickled at the quote replies.

Let's keep it a buck

We talked about the #OrgasmGap a few weeks back, right? Average man lasts ~7 min while average woman takes ~14 min to pop.

So 10 min being the average is in the ballpark.

But everyone on #BlackSky seems to have pr0nstar endurance

Right🙄
10 mins? lol no wonder the people are losing it. I don’t think I’ve ever only had 10 mins of sex in my life. Tf is that ? 😄

I'm old enough to remember the saga of Sarah Palin advocating for purity, and then what happened with her daughter.

(lol)
I hope Megyn Kelly’s daughter is okay. I couldn’t imagine my mom saying no stupid shit like that and while I exist as a teenager.

Most of the quotes are negative, but Sweetgreens has been FANTASTIC for us.

Competition for frugal healthy options in Ann Arbor are lacking. So yes, we're paying $14/salad because that's literally the same price as a burger and fries at Culver's.
November 14, 2025 at 12:04 AM
I'm still not going back, but yes, there are lots of fandoms that haven't made it over here, so it's up to us to build them.
The reason BlueSky still lacks the juice of twitter is nobody on this website is having a continual full on meltdown about the NBA Box score layouts on ESPN.com

Every time a major university capitulates to anti-DEI ideology, buy (or borrow) a book in Black studies.

-Returnal, which is my Game if the Generation, ported to PC.

-Most major releases/exclusives being ported to PC
Whenever I chat to anyone about the PS5's life so far, am I typically met with a waft of lukewarm praise or shrug of plain ambivalence? Why hasn't it captivated people - at least me - in the way the PS4 did? https://bit.ly/3LCEQZu
