All I remember from this game is Maurice saying "Ahh Shuffleboard, the Sport of Kings"

Also, generally speaking, if an employment tribunal in the UK orders reinstatement, you can bet that ACAS is going to be keeping a close eye on said employees. They're aware of this kind of behaviour.

There are TWO main options. Part of the reason the union is making this a very public campaign, without necessarily needing to, is that any unfair treatment can translate to bad PR.

The second is industrial action. This is contingent on a high enough number of employees being members.

I think it's less of an on-the-nose mommy issues thing and more that he's the type of guy who buys into health crazes. Guy probably condenses his own milk and tells everybody it "balances your humours"

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.

I'm in the same boat. That's the wording I'm using on my resume from now on

The muscular locking arms meme with the arms bearing the names of Zohran Mamdani and Zack Polanski, their common trait being the reaction that both liberals and conservatives have of them: "oh god oh fuck he's popular and charismatic and we have no counter to this"

Sam Altman is afraid of OpenAI's GPT-5 creation — "The Manhattan Project feels very fast, like there are no adults in the room" "What have we done?" OpenAI CEO raises alarm and concern over the company's soon-to-launch AI model, which is rapidly outpacing oversight.

Lmao dude no it fucking isn't. You've invented a barely functional input-output device, not a nuke. It doesn't know anything and poses zero threat to humanity. The only threat posed is the investors buying into your snake oil

I fully agree, as somebody who is currently re-making every single Jira card in my project in ClickUp just so I can get a nicer Gantt view

They say the president's a nonce

I actually do co-own a studio that operates as a worker co-op! We don't have any funding yet, mind you. But the process of incorporating as a co-op in the UK was a fun learning experience. tl;dr is www.uk.coop can set you up with all the legal docs you need to be 'legally-enforcable' as a co-op

Plz share I hate shorts so much

I'm watching TV with my wife and my dog just rocks up wearing the bathroom bin as a fashion accessory

“I asked Grok” “I asked Chat GPT”

Yeah well I asked the plants and the rocks and they said you’re a bitch

My guess: most representatives don't read bills unless they're the sponsor and will simply vote things through unless the party leadership tells them not to. In this case they didn't seem to care

I'm sat in this jazz bar me and my wife like. On stages comes a band of 17 different guys. They don't even fit in stage. They just played "Ain't That a Kick in The Head" followed by "Blue Moon", so I think I have an idea of these nerds' taste in videogames

Hot take: While pollsters still put Trump's approval surprisingly high, the class of white middle class median voter *who actually turns out to vote* has completely lost faith in the Republicans.

Don't like that they put a yank in charge of Richmond...

WE ARE FROM CHICAGO!

A common practice from game companies when they discriminate against workers and the worker files a grievance is to double down.

The companies claim the worker is under performing and will be disciplined, they force them into office, and they isolate them.

Then they offer the worker a settlement.

"With the tumultuous start of the second Trump Administration, two of the agencies that workers rely on to protect their rights and hold corporations accountable – the Department of Labor (DOL) and the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) – are under attack,” she wrote. “Between Trump’s illegal firing of NLRB member Gwynne Wilcox, Elon Musk challenging the National Labor Relations Act as unconstitutional, and huge tech giants like Amazon already using the vacant NLRB as grounds to reject union wins, it’s clear that Trump and the billionaire class he represents are working day and night to dismantle labor laws and put even more power back in the hands of corporations. We can no longer expect to rely on traditional legal frameworks to build worker power and to improve workplace conditions.” If the right-wing, reactionary government that we increasingly have wants to start stripping away that process, they're going to quickly remember that, actually, the NLRB and NLRA are a peace treaty between workers and bosses.

cwa, which represents over 2,000 workers across companies like microsoft, is launching a new games industry-wide union that anyone can join, even laid-off workers. with legal frameworks for organizing under attack, it's a return to tactics that predate those systems

Does anybody know of a web plugin that can remove this button from YouTube's player? I only ever press it by accident and it completely ruins the experience.

Lmao yeah it's not like these are consumer things that Americans can just not buy. American industry needs this stuff, so the Canadians will simply continue to sell it at a 50% markup

There was always debates about "Are games art" when I was at uni. The answer our prof always came to was "All games are art because art is a game we play with ourselves"

The plan? Earn back all the money Canada loses on Trump’s tariffs by supplying 100% of the USA’s fentanyl.

Because of my and my wife's stupid humour, our dog does not know, or react to the word "walk". But she goes ballistic at "Go Piss Girl"

All the most impactful moments in the story are moments of kindness. The game, to me, is an ode to community.
