Screenshot from SRIV, four spheres in different skin shades

On Saints Row we had a debug npc named Skinballs (lol) that was literally just four spheres wrapped in different shades of skin texture so we could test lighting for different skin tones during development. But teams need to plan for that kind of testing with intentionality, and not enough do.

When Trump tried to steal 5 congressional seats Texas Dems did what it took to stop him.

So Paxton promised to “hunt them down.”

Now he’s coming after anyone who has the courage to join the fight.

We won’t back down!
