NEW: I spoke with current and former EA employees to understand how the latest layoff round played out and the realities of daily life at the U.S. publisher. The short version? EA is controlled by an executive class that "cannot fail, only be failed." Workers, then, will always pay the price.

A government could also just seize the studio and do that, no need to give any more dollars to the house of Saud. In fact a government could do this for every studio and transfer it to be collectively owned and governed by the workers. For every business even, not just game studios! O:

do we value communities or are they to be exploited for value & ultimately sacrificed for profit at the altar of #Disneylandification? once winter settles in, will locals take to the streets & pelt the throngs of tourists with snowballs, just as Barcelonans marched with water guns? will anyone care?

Fledgling indie publisher Aggro Crab is over generative AI: "Show me your dogshit MS Paint drawing of your vision"

“I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.”

good morning

Flysch cliffs, Zumaia, one of the most amazing geological formations I've seen. These vertical layers run for 8 kilometres along Basque coast, each a page, forming a book covering 60 million years of our planet's history. Created when Iberia crashed into Europe and things went all squishy.

$1200-1800 for a console is such commercial suicide I can't even muster a "get the fuck outta here" about the news aftermath.site/xbox-helix-nex...

Thank you for one year!

This shit is so cool. They took away being able to afford computers for this shit.

news story about a montréal police officer urinating on a homeless person, a few months after an entire department under investigation for cutting dreadlocks of citizens to keep as trophies, how many incidents like this before people realize that they are the most violent and dangerous gang in town

C.R.E.A.M.

a fashion designer once told me she wished people bought clothes like they buy furniture. when you buy a couch, you know you're going to live with it for 10+ years. clothing purchases are often much more impulsive; the items treated as disposable.

im so mad about this! "We are working closely with our development partner to identify the causes of these problems" motherfuckers you're supposed to do that BEFORE you charge people money for it

Fortune's Weave is a trap set up by Nintendo to absorb a significant mass of gamers in a single game never to be heard from again like the fucked up ghost vault from Ghostbusters.

Big Walk isn't on Xbox because of the 'Palestinian-led BDS movement': aftermath.site/big-walk-xbox-...

House House will not release Big Walk on Xbox in support of pro-Palestinian BDS campaign "We would love for people to be able to play the game on Xbox, but not until Microsoft and/or Xbox have been removed as BDS boycott targets" www.gamesindustry.biz/house-house-...

"Earlier this year, Canada’s Information Commissioner decided that releasing this information to the public could potentially damage Canada’s international relations." 👍

sometimes i click on youtube shorts by accident and scroll through a couple and it only takes 30 seconds for me to be like yeah these should be illegal

youtu.be/spoLTnmZh9c There's a part in this video where the editor Geralt made a little cartoon of King Baldwin based off my insane rambling and it might be the funniest thing on my channel.

the king of canadian urbanism, the man who helped set edmonton on the path the UCP crushed underneath their boot just absolutely taking it to the province:

my banker prime minister is forced to debase himself by dutifully addressing the online posting of a rich, evil, vile husk of a man. as one of Mr. Carney's stakeholders, I am notified. I'd like to think it's some bare minimum civic duty to stay informed, but it's all becoming tough to stomach.

If the PQ wins tonight, hopefully they’ll follow through on their promise to enact electoral reform. Unlike the CAQ in Quebec before and Justin Trudeau federally, who both abandoned their promises.

Must suck to be the Parti Quebecois rn. They hate minorities.

Role playing in my role playing game.

only good news in quebec is that pspp doesn’t have an absolutely majority. but getting that close on 28% of the vote is insanity. first-past-the-post is not fit for purpose.

Hyper-capitalist, gacha-tied annual sports games are a whole special circle of gaming hell all of their own.

"Vote for the Left. For them!" Poster for the Front d'Esquerres (name of the Popular Front in Catalonia) for the February 1936 Spanish general election. By Cristóbal Arteche.

Man, first-past-the-post is crazy. When 30% of the vote can plausibly get you a majority government but 15% can plausibly get you zero (0) seats.

all this is both foolish and unnecessary
