This probably needs updating, but this is a good starter pack for talented Black folks who actively make cool video games.

This month, a team endorsed by Guillermo del Toro released Mexico's first stop-motion feature. It's 2 hours of pure imagination.

The film is called I Am Frankelda, and we've taken a deep look into how it came to be: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-film-a...

I had a blast taking part in the @BeyondExtent Team Challenge over the last 5 weeks! ✨

I had a fab team and we managed to win the stylised category with our post-apocalyptic fish spot!! 🤭💕

Time flies. I finished this environment piece from Fire Emblem Fates a year ago today

Still proud of it, still obsessed with the Nohr fam. Somethings never change.

I spent well over a month talking to investors to get the actual data behind what’s happening to the games industry. I was going to say “enjoy!” but it’s, uh, not great.

Fun fact: if you're buying from a creator on etsy, you can reduce their etsy selling fees from 6.5% to 2.5% by ordering via 'shopname.etsy.com' instead of 'etsy.com/shopname' or searching from the main site. It costs you the same but the creator makes more

We believe the Supreme Court – which disgracefully refused to hear from trans people before its decision last week – has placed the UK in breach of its obligations under the Human Rights Act.

So we’re readying a challenge – join us:

I know you're probably just being facetious but busting out the chart in case it helps anybody
Diagram, displays two images. Title says "imposter syndrome vs reality". The first shows a very small red circle titled "what I know" inside a much much bigger circle that says "what I think others know". The second has the same circles, but the red is the same size, and each circle just slightly overlaps the other, with each person knowing things other people don't.
