Escape from Ever After was fun. A cute little Paper Mario-like adventure that had banger music and looked great but didn't quite "wow" me. I still think Bug Fables is the best of the Paper Mario(-like) games but this one was a solid #2. #IBeatAGame #gamersky #Blackgamersky

First game that came to mind

While we’re all gay™️, if you like gays like dl whisperer, I am not for you.

Please, block me.

In what world? Both of my parents had to work, sometimes multiple jobs, as did both sets of my grandparents.

I do. There are things that irk my nerves from the students and the higher ups, but I genuinely enjoy what I do.

Respectability Politics Blacks strike again

The timing of this almost seems to confirm that Sony is backing away from PC because they didn't want their big first party games on whatever Xbox is trying to sell next. It also doesn't bode well for the brand because now there will REALLY be no real difference between "Xbox games" and "PC games"

‘Abbott Elementary’ has been renewed for Season 6 by ABC.

For the first time, we now know how many Black-owned bookstores exist in the U.S. The National Association of Black Bookstores has released the “first comprehensive national report” on the state of America’s Black-owned bookstores.

There has never been an official, comprehensive record of Black-owned bookstores across the United States — until now

I'm definitely one of those lol. I have 0 desire to spend the money or effort to build a PC, so any PC-exclusive games just pass me by and I'm okay with that. I think that's the difference tho: a lot of people are not okay with games passing them by.

If you take PC gamers at their word it does, because a great number of them seem to be perfectly fine "waiting it out" so they don't have to buy a console. I've seen a good number saying that they have a Switch(2) and a PC because they know they won't get Nintendo games (legally) any other way.

Prob my most "boomer" gaming take is that I have 0 problem with exclusive games. I feel like without exclusives there is no reason to own a particular console so it makes sense from a business standpoint, and exclusives are often better games & give value to your purchase from a gamer perspective.

Oh this is gonna take a while 😅. I know my top 3 is gonna be Lanayru Mining Facility, OoT's Spirit Temple, and the Arbiter's Grounds in some order but the others will take some thought.

FUCK I already bought it and I can't convince myself to double dip 😩

They're so disgusting looking

Who gives AF what David Jaffe thinks. He sucks at video games AND already hates the newer God of War games.

A forever mood

Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace.

I am STUNNED that they didn't push for gen 10 to release this year. Could it be that they are finally learning to take their time with Pokémon?

It will be tremendous value for the planet when this sentient pile of waste takes the express elevator to hell.

"Tremendous value for shareholders" is such a horrible phrase and of course that demon Zaslav is the one who said it. God I hate that man.

Hey so it's time to start financially supporting independent media production otherwise there will basically be no more professional media production and what little that IS produced will be controlled by quisling goblins who protect pedophiles and blame trans people

Welp it's even more over for Warner Bros.

I fucking hate billionaires so much. Everything is so fucking awful now

When you realize that Warner Brothers said "Delete that shit" and the BBC chose to keep it...baby this is why I'm not debating nothing about modern racism. Full grown adults made a lot of choices

Had to grab a couple of my faves 😁

I googled it and...yea I'm gonna leave that classic where it is 😬

✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
There's a couple I haven't seen from start to finish but I have never even HEARD of Uptown Saturday Night 😬

After I heard about the incident a few hours ago, I spent some time reading about N-word tics and intrusive thoughts and what I came away with was a feeling of deepened anger about the way white supremacist society has associated “Black person” with this word so it’s there, in people’s brains

I'm tryna approach this with nuance bc I understand Tourette's as a disability, but I'm having a hard time reconciling the fact that he just so happened to haul this slur out after the room was quiet & two Black men just so happened to be on stage. That feels like it betrays some deep rooted bigotry
