Humans tell the same stories again and again because they're important

Oh no... O.O

Another day, another 'how the fuck do I stay out of the USA' panic spiral...

Congratulations to SAG-AFTRA for protecting the rights of its workers!

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe.

Will we listen to his words today?

My son and I this morning.

Microsoft Makes Deep Job Cuts Across Xbox Division, Cancels Games Hundreds of people were laid off as the company canceled upcoming games such as Perfect Dark and Everwild

Last year Microsoft made $88 billion (that's billion, with a B) in profit on $245B in revenue. That's a 36% profit margin. The idea that they have to put 9000 people out of work in order to improve profitability is absolutely ghoulish. This is not a struggling company, they're swimming in profit.

It's an "I hate it here" day. The planet, I mean.

A fun way to make the median worker salary go down is to lay off a bunch of longtime employees who were senior enough to cost some money but not senior enough to be part of the protected executive class!

fuck

My feed is 3/4 NO KINGS MOTHERFUCKERS CALL YOUR REPS and 1/4 DRAGON AGE ART and the 1/4 giving me strength for the 3/4

I dumped windows, google, microsoft, meta etc because of AI. I will find an alternative here too if needed.

Oh good, I thought it was just me.

I'd really like to see this get funded. Take a look!

Honestly, after what EA's done to Bioware and specifically and spitefully to Dragon Age and it's devs (never even mind their glee to let Andromeda, the ME I like most, die on the vine unfinished)

like, there's not a cold chance in hell of me buying Mass Effect 5. #EASucks #dragonage #masseffect

Would, but I use ubuntu and your launcher breaks everything. 300+ hours gameplay and I can't access it with any version of proton. Maybe I'll have the spoons to find a work around in the next year.

You weren’t “high-functioning.”
You were masking.

You weren’t “coping.”
You were dissociating.

You weren’t “fine.”
You were in burnout.

They praised your performance.
But never saw the cost.

You deserved care.
Not applause.

She worked in the kitchens/gardens.
But there is no Qunati role name for it.(what I found). And I was wondering if there is a name for it! And what that would be in that case! :)

Again sorry for the tag 💜 I hope you are well!

Hey, I was there too... I should post some pictures at some point on here. That man was so lovely to speak with.

Oh no. Gareth David-Lloyd is still hot.

So happy to see a bunch of actors I've worked with in here getting the respect they deserve. ❤️

Sniper Elite CEO reckons Swen Vincke is right to snarl at short-sighted publishers: 'You could argue that their business at senior level isn't making games… their business is managing their shareholde... "There are horror stories of people having external producers saying, 'Look, you just need to make fewer bugs'."

What. A. Quote. 100% accurate, eh @writualmagic.bsky.social?

I also think we need to reframe our understanding of what "AAA Publishing" is. These aren't publishers anymore. They are holding companies.

This games industry bloodbath is because of corporate mismanagement and pure, unrestrained avarice. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
