"Spot the white man... You hardly see a white man" A Pakistani migrant laments the lack of British people in his area. "I feel sad... I feel isolated" Watch @StevenEdginton ask locals in Newham how they feel about the 'Boriswave' of migrants to Britain.

The reactions to @G2esports's new creative direction are fascinating. It’s a perfect case study not just in art, but in how gaming communities respond the moment something steps outside the usual “esports” formula. Shoutout to orgs that consistently push beyond that. @FlyQuest has been doing an incredible job expanding creative direction especially with their apparel. The quality, the concepts and the intention feel considered all throughout. Big credit to @CARLIEB0T for setting that standard. And then you have work that elevates the entire space. @TeamLiquid and @the3n19ma have been delivering visuals where you can clearly see there are well thought out moodboards and storyboarding behind them. The 2023 TL VALORANT roster announcement is still one of the best examples of 3D/CG work in esports. I am sure there are some more examples but these are some that come to my mind right now. Personally, I love what G2 is doing. It’s a real step away from the cookie-cutter, and that’s exactly what this space needs more of... Art is art, and if it has gotten a reaction out of you then it has served its purpose.
