If you wouldn't bring it up so much, it would've gone away already.

Don't you know? MLK ended racism, so it's a non-issue.
And Obama super ended it.

Do it. I'd read it.
It's in production, yeah? They took way too long to get back to it though.
My thing is that I don't really understand what he hoped to gain from A) addressing it in the first place B) giving the position that he did. What I pretty much got out of it all was that they dismissed the concerns as being worth really looking at, and kind of sidelined the whole issue when they had a chance to actually do something about it. Because it wasn't really an issue of importance for them, they kind of went "oh well, hopefully no one notices. We have the dopest lunches, ya'll".

Mothafuckas would be ready to jump down my got damn throat over their 1000 year old demons. But we can't have shit....
I am so ready for the African game industry to get bigger. They're probably not going to go beyond small titles and mobile games but just the thought of a game like Aurion getting the full AAA treatment makes me salivate.
It's those turtles right?
Like the way the game is already but could use smoother animations.
Down with the AAA treatment.
although games like these rarely get it

Yeah PSX happened and I need help holding all these games. FF7 remake trailer continues to wow me. How does the BCT feel about VR? Are we ready for a VR future?
Cudi just released the worst album of the year and no one is talking about it.

I want to laugh at this poster completely missing the point but it's not as funny when it's on purpose.

Anyone playing Xenoblade in here? I'm loving it, cannot wait to unlock the Skells.

Hoping someone I know gets to mess with it as well. I'm all for it, but also like to know what I'm getting into.
Here and saw some BCT folk in the OT.
Getting back to it on monday for real. It's Capcom cup time.
Waiting to see if they bring some stations near here or the stores do it themselves.
I think VR people see that it ain't easy to explain and might do this.

I'll post that writeup when it's done, ideally I'll have it finished sometime this week.
My favorite part about shitposters like this are that, without fail, whenever someone calls them out their response is always "highly constructive and well thought-out post. I see you haven't bothered making a counterargument because we both know deep down I'm right?"

I'm very much down with it, but i suffer from extreme motion sickness, and feel very uncomfortable (possibly afraid) of being cut-off from my surroundings.
I've stupidly got it stuck in my head someone is going come up on me, which is odd, because when VR came out the first time in the arcades, i played them a lot.

bitch I'm taking calls.
Not all that interested in VR, it's never really grabbed my attention for some reason. Just seems like an amusing add-on.
Omg

I think VR is a fad.. I played with the samsung VR multiple times at work and its underwhelming. That may not be the best use of it but I feel if the technology dont look comfortable, affordable and normal its bound to be niche. The VR headsets look like something from an old movie tryna depict the future.
Something about messing with the creator's existing artistic vision.
That would inevitably come as a part of African tech industry growth in general right? Black silicon valley? That could very well end up being a Nigerian or Kenyan silicon valley -- a literal Wakanda so to speak. Do we need to start thinking up hypothetical names for the first African tech giant?
Sorry to double post, but a few Google searches have brought up the term "Silicon Savannah," specifically around Nairobi. So the ball has already gotten rolling.
I guess I should finally ask though, and this is a more general question that might turn into a long-ass paragraph, but I never really figured out why Sub-Saharan Africa was less developed to begin with, I mean before European colonization happened. If you'll allow me to indulge in some geographic determinism, a bit of looking around has led me to believe the native civilizations of the Americas lacked indigenous pack animals which really slowed down their development compared to Europeans and Asians. The Middle East and Eastern Europe got destroyed by the Mongols in the 13th century (and khanates dominated China and India for a time from what I can tell). China was simply not expansionist like Europe was, either that or it and India were already surrounded by hinterlands to assimilate while the Europeans had to get on boats to find some. Australia had no indigenous founder crops or pack animals (that I know of). What was it that held Africa back?
I know there were places south of the Sahara where things developed beyond hunter-gathering before Europeans arrived, but to what extent I'm not sure.

It will be 2 decades before you look down in VR and see non-white hands/arms

I've been ready for VR, but it's probably going to kill me. We'll see.
Man, I wish. It's about 30 bucks outside of my current budget. Which is tiny.

This is probably true
If someone more knowledgeable on the subject could correct me if I am wrong that would be appreciated but from my understanding the fact that many sub-saharan African nations were isolated and separated by harsh weather conditions made it harder for communication and the trade of ideas. Europe on the other hand, had access to knowledge coming from the middle east, the horn of Africa, and asia and was able to use that to their advantage. There's a book on the subject I've been meaning to read actually its called Guns, Germs, and Steel
I'm going to say lack of resources and a much harsher climate. Early humans abandoned Africa for a reason eons ago, and it's because it sucked. Ancient Egypt and the equally awesome ancient Kush Empire were lucky to have the rich resources of the fertile land surrounding the Nile Region. Their sub-Saharan brothers...not so much.

Cloud has always been a weakling. It's because he's a fake, a wannabe.

OH MY GOD.
Imagine if Master Chief took off his helmet and he was black.
20000 response thread in less than a day.
After reading that "How my parents explained race" thread, the scales fell from my eyes, and I was enlightened. If that is the background the more 'moderate' ,relatively, people have on offtopic, what of those in gaming?
I'd view it as a lost cause, but it could influence some developers so it should happen for that sake alone.
Mr. Escalante hard at work again.

Did that actually get funded?

He said he was color blind. I blame the parents and leaders. They sold them fake goods. You can't give a kid a negative response every query and expect that to be 'color blind'.
Or maybe they just made that term up to continue the denial. It's why some love movies like The Blind Side. They never got a chance to deal with it effectively, so they just made up their history.

Fantastic post. Looks like the response from the other side is just variations on: "Well if you read the OP, you'd know that Nadine was cast before they decided on race! Shouldn't have wasted your time typing dumdum."
Rather than learn a greater truth about the industry, they choose to shut down the argument for the technicalities of this particular situation, despite the very post they're "rebutting" stating explicitly that they had no further beef with ND since it was addressed by the creator. "Well I see it's bad but don't you see that in this situation, it's not as bad as you claim to be so you black people should stop bullying Naughty Dog!"
" Gay Black teen" is the new Bernie Marched with MLK
I really hate the designs for Yokai Watch.
