People just be starting sentences off with "I think that..." and then say some shit that sounds like there was absolutely ZERO thinking involved

Not sure if you've ever read Rudy's three-part series "Blacksky: Expressing the Black Everyday in a New Digital Space" from a couple of years ago but it's great grounding for the work he and the team have done since then.

The only downside to working remote is that you can't look at your coworker with that non-verbal "Did you just hear that dumb shit they said?" during a meeting

This is dope! We’ve raised a few different varieties but Monarchs are my favorite in terms of maintenance

AAA gaming on PC is in a bad place. Paying over $1k for a GPU and not being able to get stable 60fps on modern "big games" w/o upscaling and framegen is crazy to me.

First random booty I've seen on my feed and it's because of a post from you. I'd expect nothing less, sir 😂

I love the random moments in Naruto Shippuden where they’re like “aiight, let’s thrown in 5 minutes of them walking across the desert to some Breaking Bad music”

There's a special place in hell for people who cancel/reschedule meetings MINUTES before they were supposed to start with no justification

Why does trying to buy Silksong on Steam right now feel like trying to get a console on launch day 😭

We really got MvC2, the Power Stone series, Project Justice, and CvS2 released on modern consoles before the E**tein Files. Wild.

I ain't a killer but don't push me, revenge is like the sweetest joy next to saying "Yo, this is actually a bad idea and we shouldn't do it" in a work meeting, and having people trust your expertise instead of second guess you
