  1. @Pioneer1 I can't recall in my living memory or written record of an elected official delivering on a promise to black people explictly. I recall some speaking to black people directly, but not delivering. Can you?
  2. The problem of Wakanda side Talokanil for writer? and a few extra thoughts. My reply to the Knights Watch review of Wakanda Forever A review to Zuko's redemption I feel is a great reply to the Knights Watch review, focusing on my point that Wakanda Forever is through the cultural lens of the Black or Indigenous experience and thus unsuitable to judge by white european cultural standards. An introduction to the literary classic, water margins And finally, an Ode to Jet Li View at the link https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=2153&type=status

  4. MAIN SHOWCASE GAMES Venba Venba is a cooking game, with a story. It is about an indian family, on their journey of life. The game player has to make dishes and discover dishes throughout. It is a cultural game where indian music will be played. Out in spring 2023 Goodbye World The title is funny if you have ever been taught programming from the desktop era, ala Hello World. The characters are Kunai and Kumade <unsure spelling> This is a lifestyle game where the user plays one or either of the developers , whose games are not ranking in money. and they have to do side jobs. Out Later in November 2022 Have A Nice Death A slasher platformer. High speed. You play death with a syth. Death is the head of Death incorporated in the underworl.d Out in MArch 22, 2023 can preorder starting at 11/09/2022 Aka French developers. A lifestyle game, like animal crossing meets gilligans island. You don't have the wide expanse of animal crossing but you have in this smaller space a bunch of individual activities. Hand drawn, great for photos. The goal is to be at peace. You have quest but this game has no violence, at least from the trailer. The main character is essentially a retired great warrior. Out in December 15th 2022 Pepper Grinder think sonic the hedgehog meets a game like slayin. where the main character is a human or humanoid but he takes this earth drill and drills through the earth and enemies. nice speed/color. Byte characters, but colorful worlds. I think great photos can be taken while you play. You can also control a mecha. and other items with your drill . Female heroine.

A couple is trying to save the world, with one having telepathic powers. Reminds me of attack of the friday monsters but sharper. Out in January 19, 2023 Dordogne A watercolor game. Another french game. you are mimi, simultaneously going through an adventure as a child or adult. Needing clues from the chile while the mystery is in the adult. Utterly beautiful game. At heart a puzzle game. Out in Spring 2023 Botany Manor A retired botanist with a manor all to yourself. Plant puzzles. If you recall the Mii plant game , it is a superior verson. Out in 2023 Once upon a jester Improvise a theater show. The developers, from germany, actually had a little mock theater in thier showcasing. They even had hand puppets. The developers are musicians who wanted a game where non musicians can go through the process of creation. Out starting from 11/09/2022 Rogue legacy 2 Build your legacy Out starting from 11/09/2022 Blanc <The blog post image is of this game> A fawn whose white, and a wolf cub whose black, live in a frosty world with black line dimensions.

Out in February 14, 2023 can preorder at 11/09/2022 CONCLUSION For mature gamers over 50 who want a world to develop or make their own but don't want violence or fighting but want tasks. Aka is for you. For gamers who like high speed, coin getting, platformer, action , PEpper Grinder is for you. For visual novel lovers, Coffee talk episode 2 is for you. For fans of new experiences Desta is a keeper. The idea of a dream world where pieces of memory are about and a unique ball game is played will get fans of boutique games. For fans of plant games or fans of the Mii plant game, Botany Manor is for you. For parents who want their children to have a game where they can learn about the creative process, get Once Upon A Jester For local two player fans, not online, Blanc is for you. MArried couples may enjoy most, the ability to work together, to play together, in a game of life, not necessarily killing, with two adoreable but sincere characters. QUICK SHOWCASE GAMES- these games are shown in quick videos Wrestlequest a wrestling adventure game I think. I saw ana andre the giant mecha thing. Might be a lot of fun, especially if you like lucha libre or the old wwf. may 2023 Wobbledogs console edition November 17th preorder 11/09/2022 Storyteller This is a storytelling puzzler. I Didn't get to see too much. But from what I gather. You have a theme, like catch a thief. and they give you screens where you have to place the characters into the screens which manipulates the story, and I imagine this gets into a more complex storytelling creation. I will want to see more of this game. March 23,2023 World of Horror A black and white game. Seems to want to be like a Ju-On - esque kind of experience as you play. Summer 2023 Curse of Sea Rats Pirate game fans, rejoice. They even have little movies in the game. An action platformer. Early 2023 Inscryption A card and board game, but I didn't comprehend exactly the rules, but I see cards have various values. if you are into card games, and want a more macabre theme, this is for you. December 1st CONCLUSION Some fun games, for specific fans, true indie spirit. A little to the left A unique game based around home organizing. Out in 11/09/2022 Sports Story Bo knows...:) vollyball/cricket//golf/tennis and travel the unique areas. Out in December FINAL THOUGHTS The indie world was fine. I think it is for boutique game lovers. That is the essence of indie. Yes, god of war came out today. But, let's call it like it. God of War requires a much larger team of programmers than these indie games. The husband and wife , organize house game, the trios that made the indian cooking game or theater development game, are not going to make god of war style game. They more than likely don't have the time. Now another issue in this indie world is the level of internationalization. That the youtuber below misses. Two french, One german, One indian. That is pretty international. And outside the usa many are still not accustomed to games like in the usa, aside the age variance in places like europe. so, we shall see. ANother view

  11. Jet Dancer from Dual Mask https://store.steampowered.com/app/2084470/Jet_Dancer/ ABOUT THIS GAME You are Jenna Delgado, also known as Jet Dancer. A nanomachine-infused synthetic being bred as part of a project to develop humanoid weapons, Jenna Delgado was the last in her series. When she learned the true scope of her reason for being--to be used as both bodyguard and concubine to the highest bidder--she managed to escape the project and vowed to use her superhuman abilities to protect the innocent, as the super heroine Jet Dancer. But the evil head of the project, Serin Drakonis, has found her, and, determined to take her back under his control, has unleashed his machine army--and Jenna's predecessors--to bring her to heel. Jet Dancer must now fight to protect her own quality of life, and put an end to the project once and for all. -- Jet Dancer is a retro-inspired action platforming game featuring a strong and sexy heroine inspired by games and comics of the 80s and 90s. With an easy-to-learn, hard-to-master arsenal of kicks and dashes, Jet Dancer is a weapon bred for war, but living for fun.

YEs, glad you found loretta green, she is cool. yes, foundational black americans is a term gaining traction in use. glad you have been aided or informed:) and keep trying, all anyone can do it try, if you keep trying the writing will come
  14. @Chevdove yeah, well like hoffa, the akhenaton, wife, and son had enemies, allies, and people who worked in secret and outside some journal or explicit account, the rest of us are at a disadvantage
  15. @Chevdove in defense of this topic, these are events from so long ago, .. people in the usa have not fully confrmed who killed hoffa so:) something thousands of years ago becomes hard to get consensus on

  22. MY COMMENTS in a video of the series It is not always fear, sometimes it is desire. If a white man owns a business and has a sign, no black people, is it fear? A person has the right to want to only serve a certain people. But , the problem is, in a country that invites or publicly states it is for all people, how do you have people who don't want to be around all types side people who do want to be around all types ? circa 10:00 It is not always fear, sometimes it is desire. If a white man owns a business and has a sign, no black people, is it fear? A person has the right to want to only serve a certain people. But , the problem is, in a country that invites or publicly states it is for all people, how do you have people who don't want to be around all types side people who do want to be around all types ? circa 18:00 I oppose the idea of focusing on the youth. I concur to Dr. Camelia Straughn that people do not change , I amend, specifically to being bullied or pushed or canceled. But, history proves negative bias is emitted by youth when people think the youth are enlightened from the elders. I think all need to be focused on. The problem is, and you see this with the cancel culture, the youth in the usa who are supposedly liberal are very constrictive or restrictive in what they can accept being said, which means they are replacing a rigid culture to another. circa 21:00 I concur to Loretta Green that people in the usa do not acknowledge problems. The biggest is the native american. Most liberals in the usa don't acknowledge the inability of liberalism to empower the most oppressed people in the USA or before it. Those people being the native american. But why? Like those who ancestors were enslaved, the scope of the problem is massive. So it is financially or organizationally easier to evade admitting a problem, then to admit a problem and then have to deal with healing from it. It is easier to say, all is good now. circa 28:00 great point from Loretta, I add to her point that Black people in the USA itself are unwilling to accept the structural problem with descendents of enslaved people's having to wait later to get what other people of color: non european whites, have been able to have with an existence in the usa after 1965 circa 31:00 yes, Curtis Mayfield comprehended the complexity of a country where the peoples in it are not on the same page. James Baldwin said it simply. The world is not white, and the world is not black either. I admit, I have never felt fear walking in harlem. ... I add that Baldwin suggested the key is flexibility. His father wasn't flexible. His father was a black man who hated whites, to the bone. But couldn't retaliate or injure whites, so the hate is deep inside, and anything that has involvement from whites which means the entire government of the usa, is hated by such a black person. circa 35:00 Maybe one day, the day a Black woman doesn't have to be strong no matter what in the USA, will be a great day circa 41:00 great point about Loretta about the problem with speaking to doctors who are not as delicate to their role as guide. The scene in a film, as good as it gets, says it all. The female lead in the film is a mother with a child who is going to doctors constantly, but only when the male lead provides a private doctor is her son properly diagnosed. The point, doctors are business people, and if you don't have money, most will treat you as the lawyers do to the fiscal poor in a court room. circa 44:00 Important point by Bablak, the quality of advocacy , which doesn't mean from elected officials but from community agents, has changed since the legendary 1960s. It can be argued it is less than, fro a larger perspective. But her point that it needs to be stronger from the individual is functional. I think the affordable care act, never spoke to quality of care, and focused on accesible care. So everyone can afford healthcare theoretically but the quality of healthcare that most can afford is very low quality.But quality is expensive. Circa 48:00 Straughn speaks that people carry trauma's in them but I argue that all children reflect the negativty from their parents. If your parents in a white town in appalachia or a black town in mississippi or a native american reservation in a western state are unhappy and full of negativity or doubts then the children will reflect that in various negative ways. circa 51:00 I concur to loretta 100% , I feel black elders in the past were done a disservice by their children or grandchildren who could write, by not getting them to tell their stories. Zora Neale Hurston was right. IN CONCLUSION The theme of the multiracial populace having problems handling itself in the USA is common as it was how the usa started. I think the youth may not be the answer some suggest. But I will say that all peoples in the usa need guidance to what the usa has never been, a country where all groups or individuals are empowered.
