perhaps the most egregious thing that happened with the Future Class was when The Game Awards took money from Old Spice in the name of the FC & simply... pocketed it
it wasn't used to fund Future Class initiatives, it wasn't used to help lift marginalised developers
they just profited from us

this photo i took once sparked a raging debate in a photography group
one half was disgusted, existentially offended at the palette
another went to war on its behalf, thrilled by novelty
i learned so much about art that day. people will love a thing for the exact same reason another hates it.

if you want to understand the sociopolitical situation in the US right now, go watch Shiny Happy People
at first glance it’s a documentary about reality TV drama & a pedophile

so this image of the pig head/pig mask from The Secret World seems to have been stricken from the internet
for posterity, here it is. my beloved. how we rocked together.
