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.

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.

TicTok additcs sold away their digital souls last must to continue to get there fixed. Discord is asking the same next month.
These digital robber barons already know enough about you, but they want your identity too.
Never volunteer it. You don't need any of this

Looks like it's time to move on since Discord is going to require IDs or facial recognition to unlock
Can we stop gating things behind Discord, yet?
Be it information, game mods, game dev, etc. I don't want to join your Discord for a snippet of information.
Discord is not a replacement for forums, social media, or encyclopedias. Please stop making Discord servers for everything, it's exhausting.

Walked my dog today.
Passed by a tomb for a neighbor's dog. Sad they passed away.
Passed by a camera over a garage and thought that maybe I should get a RING after my dogs pass. That commercial reinforced that the answer is NO.

That Ring “search party” ad was unsubtle enough that even my 10yo watched it and was like “are they gonna use this for ICE?”

The annoying ting about this is that the average ticket is $3k.
Another white man "look at me" moment. Imagine if he actually did this in protest of ICE or something.
No. Another narcissist.

I remember back in 2016 when we thought there was no way Hillary could lose, we were going to make Puerto Rico the 51st state (and I was pushing for USVI).
Instead, we've regressed almost two generations of civil rights progress.
Sad.

It was transforming the biggest NFL stage in the world into a sugar cane plantation that did it for me.
Like, the multiple layers of turning an American icon into a plantation and highlighting the history of exploitation of Black and Brown bodies by the NFL and American colonialism simultaneously?

Honestly about what I expected considering what Seattle did to my 49ers.
And that New England didn't play any offensively talented team.

The worst part about it is, these commercials are targeting US, the millennials.
But we're the most college-educated generation of all time. We're too smart to put money into that ish.
Maybe we could throw some money at it for the lulz if we weren't paying back these STUDENT LOANS

If you like offense, you're not going to have a good time during this SB.
It's a mid-off at QB.
A tee-off for defenses.

Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries.
One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home.

I'm not so sure. Neither of us have ever NOT had a dog.

There's something to be said about how Epstein explicitly didn't want any Black women and girls.
And that 200k Black women were laid off from the fed last year.
They called them ugly during slavery/nadir/Jim Crow and yet Sally Hemmings et. al.
Police their bodies. And yet....

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

AND the women who enable this power dynamic. Such as Ghislaine Maxwell.
At a related but less violent level, (often female) retail managers are more likely to hire "attractive" women.
This is what Black People mean when we say SYSTEMIC racism, except these things are SYSTEMIC sexism.
