I am not. In fact I gave away the FF MTG starter pack i was given at Summer Gamefest.

Never got the appeal.

Fumb is a new euphemism for fucking dumb 🫣

Bloodborne seemed built out of spite, since Sony made the fumb decision to not support Demon's Souls, and they wanted a Souls like.

But Bloodborne also doesnt have the major recognition of the souls games, which felt like a funny "sure we'll make you a new game but we're gonna be sickos about it"

Im curious to know how important the tech limitations are on it.

Also Sony is leaving money on the table not porting it to Steam, but maybe it's also very tied to the platform it was built on.

He could also just be an afropessimist.

Sonic is the kid who the teachers like but he's a bit too hyper.
Knuckles is the Sonny Liston type.
Shadow does spoken word poetry dressed in Black panther garb.
Miles is the Alchemist, making beats for all of em

They missed out not getting Vince Staples to play Shadow.

Imagine : (Also Yedoye could probably be Sonic)

My only issue is Sonic is *also* Black.

We can't forget that.

Is it the winter soldier series

Focusing on protags actually ignores a whole underbelly of how poorly Black women are treated in games.

Good questions are, why are most BW voiced by WW? Why do they all have the same haircut? Why did the supposed anti nazi game Wolfenstein allow a BE to be choked by a Nazi, & make it *her* fault?

I wanted this video to be good.

But as a Black person in games, who helps run a nonprofit fighting for Black people & Black women specifically, this video's shallow understanding of things and admitted lack of research was hard to sit through.

We need more Black led teams, full stop.
