Oh no wait I need it

"Some think there's a 15% chance" is among the most transparently bullshit sentences I've ever seen

Who are the *some*? How did they decide 15%? Why the hell would it matter what a few people you... I dunno, met at a party maybe, said? This means nothing yet they drop it like a meaningful statement

Waking up to find I missed State of Play entirely AND THERE IS NEW KENA GAME??? AHHHHHH

definitely something-ecuted

If someone ever gets too annoying, just use BLOCK (Y)!

But watch out! Some posters may try to get around your BLOCK (Y) and press the attack. Talk about a sticky situation!

Remember: a good BLOCK (Y) is your first line of defense!

Oh hell yeah
HELL YEAH

Games industry operates like the film industry with absolutely none of its protections and its fuckin brutal

This kind of "let them go after the project is done" is only moderately possible with a whole ecosystem of unions and creative houses. It's wild this isn't regulated

It's like a desire to appear intelligent/informed by wearing the polite aesthetic of level-headedness. Because the alternatives are

- admitting you don't understand the issue enough to get why folks are mad, or decide on a stance at all
- admitting you're on the unfavorable/bad side of the issue

Cause I much prefer to watch and learn and strategize and set up a well planned takedown than run in and learn by getting shot at or whatever 😂 it's like hunting! Or a puzzle to solve!

Enemies see me? Scary. Solution? Become invisible menace they never see coming.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Maybe also stills from theatre, as they need to exaggerate far more than film/tv to get emotion across!

🇬🇧📢 At least 1200 workers from Ubisoft were on strike today !
Workers are rejecting the Guillemot dynasty's loser strategy and demanding the freedom to make good games in good working conditions. The strike will continue tomorrow and the day after ✊

Anna please 😭

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

GENUINELY! A chart helps reflect on the result but like you gotta absorb the WHY and HOW something worked by learning and training the ole vibe check

Werewolf child is getting warmed up in the fluff of the werewolf mother

It's cold in winter, but there is a solution

Ubisoft is no more, long live Ubisoft! On January 21, 2026, Yves Guillemot announced the end of remote work, closure of several studios, cancellation of projects, and a new 200€ million “cost-cutting” plan. We were informed of this at the same time as the press — as none of these changes had been discussed during the mandatory consultations with the works councils a few days earlier! On January 26, 2026, management announced the implementation of a voluntary departure plan that will affect 200 people at Ubisoft’s headquarters. We are promised autonomy for « Creative Houses », but what about autonomy for employees? We have been negotiating for over a year on remote work policy, sometimes under difficult conditions. An agreement has been in place since September in some studios. Trampled underfoot! We are told about responsibilities, but those who wield this word so easily do not take any responsibility for the consequences of their catastrophic management.

We are not fooled: rather than taking financial responsibility for layoffs, they prefer to push us out by making our working conditions unbearable. It’s outrageous. It is because we love Ubisoft that this situation revolts us. Ubisoft’s unions are calling for a massive international strike by all Ubisoft employees on the 10th, 11th and 12th of February 2026. NO to their anti-remote-work obsession to “cost-cutting” plans on employees’ backs to top-down decisions to coercive control on our working conditions YES to our leaders truly taking their responsibilities to management’s duty of sincerity in the face of its failings It is time for our management to understand that they cannot do whatever they want, whether with public money or the work of hundreds of people! Without us, Ubisoft would never have conquered and transformed video games as it has. WE ARE UBISOFT.

🇬🇧✊🌀 Ubisoft : enough is enough! Faced with the arbitrary decision of the CEO who doesn’t even dare talking to employees anymore, unions are calling for a strike on February 10th, 11th and 12th.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

Thank you for the artshare 💜

it drives you insane how much erosion of freedom is justified by concern for kids when the people who actually hurt them will never face consequences

hit 'em where it hurts!! 🥰✨

📺 I’ll always love this story/event. One of many examples of Black creators having a HUGE impact on pop culture.

This episode took MILLIONS of viewers away from CBS during Super Bowl XXVI’s halftime to the point in which it forced the NFL to make big changes for Super Bowl halftime entertainment. 🏈

I know Macbeth is shaking rn

You know recently a significantly less online friend - the kind who I worry could fall for griftier rhetoric if not careful - told me he'd gotten into watching your videos, and I was like oh thank GOODNESS Alanah will keep you checked into reality 😤👍🏾 thanks for talking about this stuff

Introducing the “AI-BOROS”: the few companies at the ‘top’ of the economy handing each other billions of (debt-ridden) dollars for a product that both doesn’t exist AND doesn’t make any money.

and we ALL get to go broke when it inevitably implodes ha ha i love it here!!!

youtu.be/ifyaI4TOsDM?...

In my opinion, no. Horizon has a ton of story and world but any "loose ends" are very much pointing to its next installment

Like neither the characters nor gameplay nor artstyle in the new thing are recognizable, or seem to have anything to do with HZD's tthroughline beyond limited aesthetic

Oh yeah, I mean the devs do stellar work

It's just like... I don't get who it's for I guess. The same way they moved entirely off of Killzone to create Horizon, I wish this had been it's own new thing, if anything

Feels like a weird choice, and we all know who suffers when such choices don't = $$$

Like there's nothing about Horizon's excellent worldbuilding and gameplay that makes me want to engage with it in... whatever's going on in that trailer

I dunno y'all I'm just bummed. The state of creative industries has me down, I guess
