With the holiday season in full swing, for many people video games are a vivid memory in our gifts gotten history. It's amazing to see how far the technology has come, and where it's going. Pong blew our minds, Nintendo's Mario and Donkey Kong are multi-generational pop culture figures, and the Atari players of decades ago could never have imagined the global multi-player game universes we see today. Technology, like ours, expands what developers are capable of doing, and we love seeing how they push the limits of what a gaming experience can be. It wasn't always an immersive experience across devices with endless worlds to explore. So hopefully with a little bit of down time (or waking up at 4 am with jet lag), we can check out some of the history of the video game industry. Great work The Video Game History Foundation! https://lnkd.in/ew9XMGc8

Summer means warm weather, days at the beach and a solid week of 24/7 gaming speed runs known as Games Done Quick. What started as a streamed event in someone's basement has grown to a 7 day event that sells out convention space. I can think of no better example of a niche interest that has raised over $50 million for charity over the past 10 years. Summer Games Done Quick was the most watched channel on Twitch June 30th - July 6th. From Metroid Dread to Powerwash Simulator to Mega Man, there is a game for anyone. SpikeVegeta, Keizaron, KungFuFruitCup and JHobz do a wonderful job to emcee this event and make it accessible to new and returning viewers. Over $2.5 million was raised for Doctors without Borders last week. This article summarizes the viewership trends and how individual donations have increased to compensate for declining viewership: https://lnkd.in/gAZMqdmU What niche industry or interest do you follow? This year's pre-show to give you a sample of the humor, love and production value that goes into this event: https://lnkd.in/guVjQMXB #videogames #gdq2024

🌟 Achievement Unlocked: Completed My First Speed Game Jam! 🌟 I’m thrilled to share that I successfully completed the 5th SpeedJam, a 72-hour game jam focused on creating games that can be speedrun. This was my first time participating in a game jam, and it was an incredible learning experience. 🚀 What I Learned: Mastered 2D platforming character controls Integrated online leaderboards using LootLocker Despite being nervous about the tight timeframe, I managed to finish my game and had a lot of fun along the way. This experience has not only improved my technical skills but also boosted my confidence in game development. 🎮 I look forward to applying these new skills in future projects and continuing my journey in the game development world. Big thanks to everyone who supported me during this challenge!

Amber Hamilton knows that money plays a huge role in liberation and justice. https://lnkd.in/eBM4tKwe Wealth disparity and inequitable access to financial resources are a HUGE barrier to equity. And Amber is doing something to address the money game. At Memphis Music Initiative, Amber and her team invest in youth development through music engagement. Part of their work includes capacity building and investing in nonprofits by providing operational funding. Now if you work in the nonprofit sector, you can understand how HUGE this focus is. This funder is actually helping nonprofits pay for the things most funders refused to pay for. And y'all, maybe these funders don't realize this, but the electric company needs money to keep lights on. The rent has to be paid. Salaries aren't funded by magical money giving elves. As my father liked to FREQUENTLY tell me, money doesn't grow on trees. SOMEBODY has got to fund operations. It's wild to me that funders with really fancy offices, and good salaries, and mountains of money force nonprofits to operate in ways that extract financially from employees and lead to burnout. And when you think about the fact that the origins of much of this money comes from extractive and exploitative business practices that actually cause the inequities nonprofits are trying to address, you can see how completely out of pocket some of this funder behavior truly is. And I really appreciate the work Amber is doing to change how funders think about supporting the nonprofit sector. My favorite part of how they get this message out to their fellow funders is through humorous musical skits https://buff.ly/42BPwvO (You've got to check out MMI's YouTube channel - there are so many gems.) Amber uses her musical skills and humor to speak truth to power and I am here for it! This #BlackHistoryMonth, I'm celebrating 29 Black women who have influenced me through the ways they pursue their own liberation. Black women's work is often unrecognized and not cited, and this month I'm determined to pass out a few flowers to Black women. #Day6 #29LoveLettersToBlackWomen #GiveBlackWomenTheirFlowers
