The gaming and technology industries are in one of the most volatile lifecycles known in the business world. Companies plan, create, use, enhance, and make obsolete whatever tech is too old to handle the next upgrade.
The goal of Project Gemini is help to inform listeners about the current events surrounding these two industries as well as off topic subjects when appropriate.
Hello all! Welcome to Episode 7 of Project Gemini. This is the final episode of Season 1. In this episode, we dive into the future of gaming in terms of portability and mobility. Yes, we're going to talk about streaming games, the specs on the Valve Steam Deck, and the upcoming Nintendo Switch OLED edition.
This has been a fun and amazing season. It was really eye-opening for me to learn the nuances of podcasting and help me understand where I can improve. I aim to come back with Season 2 and see where Project Gemini takes me.
Hope you enjoy the show!

DFEH California vs Activision Blizzard, Inc.
In this special episode of Project Gemini, I go through the recently released lawsuit filed by the Department of Fair Employment and Housing for the State of California against Blizzard, Inc. Activision Blizzard, Inc., and Activision Publishing, Inc. For the majority of the episode, I share excerpts from the lawsuit exactly as it was written by the attorneys for the State of California. I also share Activison Blizzard's rebuttal against the lawsuit.
Listener discretion is advised. This episode is not labeled explicit, but there are explicit details in the lawsuit that may not be comfortable for all listeners. Such includes deviant behaviors such as sexual harassment and a tragic inclusion of suicide.
This case, filed as 21STCV26571, may very well become one of the most important cases in the promotion of civil rights for women and people of color in the video game industry.
