I'm a cultural historian who studies the slave trade and identity. Also a game dev working to build games intended to challenge injustice and historical marginalization. Opinions my own. I will block those who support imperialism, colonialism, racism, or homo/transphobia.

I am almost never on this platform anymore but holy hells…

This is not *like* a Nazi rally. This is a neo-Nazi rally. Your friends who are Black, Latino, Jewish, women, gay, transgender, union, Muslim, disabled, members of any vulnerable minority, are watching what you do today. Are you speaking up about this?



I have been enjoying leathercrafting as a way to reduce stress. Fell down a LOT of rabbit holes around types of leather and locating high quality leather stores is a part of that. Check these guys out: oaleathersupply.com

Over the years, I've worked on a wide range of projects from small indie ideas to AAA games. Here is how I would build an interaction system from scratch in Unreal Engine if I were to start a new project today. A thread 🧵👇🏼

Alright, since you decided to ask me, I'll tell you why the same guy you praise for "wonderful analysis" also concludes, based on the facts & evidence, that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza:

How can someone who writes such a wonderful analysis make the claim that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. This is neither backed up by facts nor scientifically tenable by the definition of the word. It is simply wrong. And discredits the very good thread.

So it seems that a Home Secretary stirring up moral panic about disruptive Palestine marches on Armistice Day has helped to encourage a disruptive far right march on Armistice Day. As predictable as it is depressing.

Police have lost control. Far right thugs are swarming around Whitehall, climbing up on fencing and bollards. Sixteen minutes to 11am on Armistice Day. Absolute disgrace

Hey, @BBCNews, why is there no coverage of fascist violence in London on your website? @metpoliceuk reported it publicly nearly an hour ago. What are you waiting for?

It definitely took me too long, but I finally found the 'right' parameters for volumetric clouds. The Infinity Weather update, which will also include support for UE5, is coming soon :)

A 3d character walks into a bar. The bartender doesn't say anything. You realise you haven't put collision or a trigger volume on the bar asset.

This game required an unconventional approach to storytelling. What has 'Bunce Island: Through the Mirror' to do with folktales from the 18th century? In this piece @KHBK explains how she brought African falbes into games: koerber-stiftung.de/projekte/ecomm… #games #SierraLeone #ecc23
