BREAKING: Yesterday Grand Theft Auto VI maker Rockstar Games fired dozens of people, all of whom were involved in union efforts. A British union calls it "blatant and ruthless" union-busting. Take-Two Interactive says it was due to misconduct.

Couldn’t understand the guided tour (in Italian) but just seeing these things were inspiring enough.

#MÖRKTOBER day 1: FROG

GLOPSTEPALOF
"His eye on the east and the dying light of the sun, he wants nothing less than to flood the world and plant his throne atop it. His time is nigh."

Writing by @loottheroom.bsky.social
Art by me
MÖRKTOBER, day one: Frog. Glopstepalof Glopstepalof, third of his name, last of his kind. Once the rightful heir to the swamp kingdoms of the east, in childhood he watched them drained by the giants so that they might build their great bridge. He sank deep into malice and magic. Carved runes into his flesh, fed blood into entities best left unnamed. Sucked power from the teat of the world. Seven hundred long, lonely years passed. He grows fetid and fat at the peak of the twisted tower he built for himself, from which he communes with the things beyond the stars and the oozes that lie even beyond them. He gathers his power. His eye on the east and the dying light of the sun, he wants nothing less than to flood the world and plant his throne atop it. His time is nigh. Chris: Grimes – Miss Anthropocene (2020) Johan: Vinnie Paz – God Sent Vengeance (2025) Illustration: crowned frog wizard with a burning hand and a skeletal staff magically tormenting a fallen knight.

If you're a small press or independent tabletop creator who must soon halt shipments to the US because of Trump's axing the de minimis tariff exemption, I want to hear from you.

Got the first entry for my new blog, Transformers That Look Like Nicolas Cage
Panel from an early-90s Marvel Transformers comic featuring a Decepticon called Stormcloud saying "Failure to comply will result in the deaths of everyone present here today! You would do well--". He has been drawn by artist José Delbo to facially resemble the actor Nicolas Cage

Normal day's (painting) work at @parablegames.bsky.social
A layered and textures painting on canvas. Bright red paint, laid on thickly to leave the ridges and smears visible, makes the background. Spattering of darker crimson adds depth, while a series of black shapes scratched onto the canvas suggest a face, or something approaching a face. The word "PIT" has been crudely painted onto the canvas three times in white.
