  • I’ve always grouped gamers into two factions.

    Form over function and function over form.

    Personally, I prefer low mechanics to great graphics. My friend on the other hand could care less what the graphics look like as long as the mechanics are sound.

    I would assume for most gamers since most people aren’t really into dissecting the mechanics of video games like really strong graphics.

    Which is why most AAA titles have really good graphics with very simple mechanics. There are of course exceptions to the rule.




















  • Several conflicts and humanitarian crises in predominantly non-white majority countries have been overshadowed by events in predominantly white majority countries. Examples include:

    1. Rwandan Genocide (1994): Despite the mass slaughter of the Tutsi population by the Hutu majority, the international community and media were slow to respond and provide comprehensive coverage. The genocide claimed approximately 800,000 lives in just 100 days.

    2. Darfur Conflict (2003-present): The genocide in Darfur, Sudan, has seen the systematic killing, displacement, and starvation of the non-Arab population by government forces and allied militias. Despite its scale and brutality, it has often been eclipsed by other international events.

    3. Democratic Republic of Congo Conflicts (1996-present): The series of wars and ongoing conflicts in the DRC have resulted in millions of deaths, primarily due to violence, disease, and starvation. These conflicts have received sporadic and often insufficient coverage compared to conflicts in Europe or the Middle East.

    4. Yemeni Civil War (2014-present): Despite being one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises, the war in Yemen has not received consistent media attention. The conflict has led to widespread famine and suffering, exacerbated by the blockade and bombing campaign led by Saudi Arabia.

    5. Ethiopian Tigray War (2020-present): The conflict in the Tigray region of Ethiopia has resulted in significant civilian casualties and displacement. While it has been reported, it has not garnered the same level of media attention as conflicts in Europe or other Western-centric issues.

    These examples highlight a troubling trend in global news coverage, where atrocities in non-white majority regions are often underreported, leading to a lack of international awareness and delayed action.
