Aujourd'hui on se réjouit pas mal de voir les maisons d'édition s'enchaîner dans le boycott du FIBD 2026, le mettant en fort péril, et c'est BIEN.

Mais il semble important de rappeler plusieurs choses, comme le fait qu'elles arrivent TARD dans le combat.

"Unacceptable and unlawful" - GTA 6 developer Rockstar hit with legal claim from UK trade union following alleged unfair dismissal of staff

alright. art friends. which one of you was it

Oh the joy to be a mobile dev and see the enthusiasm.
And the fun thing is that mobile players are even more toxic than other platforms.

Les bourgeois qui applaudissent un malfaiteur associé de terroristes qui a contourné la justice pour éviter de faire sa peine, qui était déjà clémente. Rappelez vous de tous ceux qui soutiennent ça, qu'ils ne reviennent pas la bouche en cœur nous parler de justice un jour.

Oh no, the shrink found the fears I was hiding from myself deep inside.

MAIS RAISON DE PLUS ALORS

With all the linkshells the WoL receives along the years, I can't help imagine mine rumaging furiously their hand in a large bag of marbles to find which one is ringing right now.

Target is now requiring its employees to smile more As the holiday season fast approaches, Target is urging its employees to add a little more “jolly” to their work routine.

"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.

They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.

If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."

🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

I already cradle my head in my hands when jira tells me they can "make the bug ticket by ai" or "improve my ticket".
But searching for the bug by ai is a whole new level. It is basically disconnected from the mortal realm and all reality.

This wasn’t about leaking GTA VI.

It was:
Rockstar illegally firing union members to stop the studio from unionizing.

it directly contradicts Rockstar’s PR narrative and confirms almost everything that people suspected was going on.

Take care, take your time.
As a QA lead, I totally understand how a low repro blocker can wreck confidence in the release, and postponing is a wise decision.

We'll wait, we'll play the game, and we'll love it when it's out.

On a dark spooky mobile game, we didn't block the adaptive brightness yet. Meaning the screen of the phone would change brightness depending on the brightness in the room. To try the feature once we added it, I had to play in a box, under my desk to be in the shade and then come out in the light.

Technically, one game is compatible with a smart fridge. I've asked to buy one for testing purposes for years, still no fridge.

Sometime on mobile the game would be in the wrong orientation.
Looks like the switch from portrait to landscape is broken. Had to try to drop the phone on a cushion at the same time I received a call.

Player reporting dodgeroll being broken. Spent days trying to repro until we discovered the letter "i" doesn't exist in Turkish and it breaks code.

I have very ambivalent thoughts on this season, too.
Some plot lines feel great and other really, well,"lucky" as you say.
Nonetheless, I like the bold moves the series does with the source material and would love the artistic & production forces to be in all storylines instead of half each season.

A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: Using Generative AI? You’re prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control

Y’a pas une histoire comme quoi cet épisode avait été commandé par le gouvernement pour faire de la prévention ?

This is the most ruthless act of union busting in the history of the UK games industry. Yesterday, @rockstargames.com unfairly fired over 30 employees for union activity.

We won't back down, and we're not scared - we will fight for every member to be reinstated.
