These kind of initiatives are actually pretty great. Like most english language media, video games are pretty American dominated. Funding to games with unique perspectives could lead to some really interesting projects. I played a really interesting game called Black Book a while back. It was a fascinating look into Finno-Ugric culture in pre-revolution Russia (and a pretty good game, too). I'd love to see more titles like that

Can't say I expected to see rimworld up here
I thought it was bad where I live, but when I was in OKC it was so much worse. I've never been anywhere so hostile to pedestrians. Sidewalks were jagged and broken and just ended randomly wherever they thought they could squeeze more parking in. Despite being a small city there were highways EVERYWHERE. You could never escape the roar of traffic. My buddy who lives there is in a gated community and even if there was anything around (there wasn't) you couldn't walk anywhere anyway because the gate is pressure sensitive to the weight of a car so you can't actually leave unless you're driving. I can only hope the next generation of planners can mitigate some of the last generation's damage in our lifetime
I bought a glue trap once and caught a rat. The poor thing was whining for hours until I finally had to snap it's neck by hand. Never again. I don't know why these things exist
"There goes the Courier. He really cleaned up this town." Keep doing God's work
There was definitely a scene where they're sitting at the dinner table and the father is railing against affirmative action because his department hired a black firefighter.
? What a strange conclusion. Because someone may have lied about a largely insignificant detail of this war you're going to pick a side? Fuck Hamas and also fuck Netanyahu. I can't do anything about Hamas but I can try to stop my government from supporting Netanyahu
Damn! I was playing so much Starcraft I didn't realize how much was going on that year. So many classics for every genre
Sounds familiar. When the Americans wanted to go into Iraq there was "unconfirmed" stories of Iraqis murdering babies in hospitals. The demonization of people is getting out of control quickly here. Posting stories like this without solid evidence is not only unhelpful, it's very irresponsible
A teen drama from the 90s
I shared a name with a character on 90210. It was pretty annoying for a decade but it's been awhile since anyone has made that comment
It's frustrating how common this sentiment is. As long as people think there is justification for dehumanizing others, it's easy to manipulate them as to who that "other" is. Chauvin is the product of a shitty system we can celebrate when that system is destroyed.
