Only because it was made public & is now a PR mess.

But legislation and social conditions that are discriminatory to Black folks in Miami is still alive and well πŸ€“

What's really funny is this will be swept under the rug / forgetten / they'll get a slap on the wrist & these younger folks gonna hold high influence positions in the future.

(My future maybe book will explore what, if any repercussions there are for anti Blackness in Miami)

Yeah, this tracks for certain demographics out here.

I love games and so many of the people who make them. It was an honor to accept the award on behalf of the team and a privilege to be able to speak to what I believe in. β™₯️

Genuinely curious and wanted to ask freelance writers and others, what's the general rule of thumb for pitching articles to sites?

Send an email, and if no one replies in a week or two, send a follow-up? Or just leave it up to various deities & move on?

Hello everyone. I come with the sad news that as you are no doubt already aware, we're saying goodbye to several of our friends and colleagues here at Eurogamer. Leaving us are Tom Orry, our editorial director; our video team of Ian Higton, Zoe Delahunty-Light, and Alix Attenborough; Alex Donaldson, our editor-at-large; and Will Judd, who worked across Digital Foundry, hardware and deals.

I'll start with Tom, who over the past year-plus had made himself a hugely valuable source of advice, expertise, desert-dry humour and world class poker faces (I think we just about made him laugh once, for a moment, on his final day). 

Tom initially began the role when Tom Phillips was our editor-in-chief here, mostly working away diligently in the background in a two-Tom-tandem doing editorial director things, before taking on a more prominent role on the site itself over the past 11 or 12 months, gracing us with some signature console nostalgia and unjustifiably intense Project Gotham Racing enthusiasm. Tom, Dom, Alex and I, along with the rest of the team, worked together closely on what a 'new Eurogamer' might look like last year, and his experience in running multiple games media sites was consistently our rock to lean on. 

While he may have initially seemed an outsider of sorts compared to Eurogamer chiefs of old - at least to some on the surface, coming from his 20-plus years across our sister sites VG247 and USGamer, and before that the cult-favourite site he founded in our once-rival VideoGamer - I can't stress enough how much Tom 'got' Eurogamer. His goal was for us to be at the heart of the big stories that mattered most to our readers with original, diligent reporting and on-the-button commentary, and that will absolutely continue.

In immaculately on-brand, limelight-dodging Orry style, Tom opted to sneak his farewell into this past weekend's What We've Been Playing column, but I'll be damned if he gets away with it that easily. Sorry Tom. Here's what he had to say…

Really appreciate this kind of journalism for the community.

I didn't know how many Black owned bookstores there were in the US until now.

For months, @jacksonwryan.com has been looking into why so many video games sites have become full of gambling and casino stories, unusual author images, and, most recently, the use of AI. We've connected these sites to Clickout Media. Here's what we've learned.

Always a good time to challenge yourself, learn more about geopolitics & stand in solidarity with people whom are targets of Western imperialism.

$729 to go.

The deadline passed, but I’m not giving up. I am not going to lose everything after years of abuse, torment, and financial instability right when I get a job and after the gracious support I’ve gotten. I won’t.

Streaming again to hopefully hit it today.
