We traveled back up to Edinburgh to be there as Rockstar Games and its fired union members took their case to court:

Typically I'm not into the whole idea of New Years resolutions but one thing I want to do this year is read more.

Books, articles, essays, whatever. Even just reading a goofy little short-story on tumblr this week reminded me of how much i love the feeling of reading something that's well written.

@lolaruin.com I don't post on twitter anymore, but I always think about donating to MASH at this time of year. I hope you're having a lovely festive season so far 🎁

This was so fucking good, it ended up consuming my entire evening.

Even as a cis guy in his 40s it resonated with me so much. Being chronically online for the last - I don’t even wanna think how long - and being in kink and lgbtqia+ spaces for most of those years it really hit home.

Loved it ❤️
and you might be asking, stan, haven't you not worked at a studio in over a year (because no one can get a job anymore)? what could you possibly have done to get onto breakthrough?

hi everyone. while the industry's still hellbent on calling anyone who makes /weird/ games "not a real dev" @baftagames.bsky.social decided that maybe people making things with three quid and a piece of string know what they're talking about, actually

PMG arguably do the best games media reporting out there, and it’s great to see them covering this in detail.

Seeing and hearing from the people that are actually affected by the actions of Rockstar is so important in helping to convey how real and troubling it all is.
I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.

That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

Apparently I mostly just use Bluesky to post about all of the books that I buy.

Spooky season is in full swing with this one. King Sorrow from Joe Hill and it’s a LOT bigger than I expected.

I'm surprised at how much i'm enjoying the Arc Raiders playtest this weekend.

Admittedly the art + sound design are both contributing heavily to my enjoyment, even when some jerk kills me 30 seconds into a game. The soundtrack in particular is just so heckin' good.

Ooh, my copy of Acid Box just arrived. Can’t wait to dive into it later, the artwork looks amazing from a quick flip through it.

And I still have my copy of MADI that I picked up a few weeks ago that I’ve not even looked at!

If you're a British trans person or ally I really think you MUST fill in the EHRC consultation on whether to segregate trans people from society

If you need a hand doing that, @notrightruth.bsky.social and I will be doing a respond together live stream Tuesday 8pm!

I'm so glad that i took the time out of my day to read through this and complete the survey.

Like, i knew the main talking points of what was changed but seeing some of the language they use and some of the examples they provide is eye opening. Fucking hell. It's grim.

Please take part if you can!
If you have between ten minutes and half an hour to spend to help the trans people in your lives, please could you consider reading this guidance on how best to provide feedback on the EHCR consultation, filling it in and sharing it?

I've never done it before but this actually inspired me to write to my local MP.

The Supreme Court ruling along with the latest comments from Labour today are just beyond disgraceful to see.

I'd definitely urge anyone with the ability to contact their MP to do so and raise their urgent concerns.
April 22, 2025 at 3:37 PM
The way that the media are covering the Supreme Court ruling is so fucking gross. I shouldn't be surprised at this point but it's just fucking weird to see so many people cheer for it.

Oh, I hadn't even seen today's frontpages of the papers until just now but jesus christ. Those headlines are grim.

It’s so pretty 😍

I especially loved the cover art for #WicDiv and this book really does them all justice. Definitely worth the wait.

Everybody at @braceyourselfgames.com just absolutely killed it on Rift of the Necrodancer, it's so heckin fun.

@alexmoukala.bsky.social really hit it out of the park with Om and On. Easily my favourite track at the moment, and it's got a lot of competition!🎷🦇🎷

To help distract myself from, well, yknow, *everything* - a trip to the local comic store was needed.

Saga is something I’ve been meaning to read for years, and I’m looking forward to finally delving into it.

Wait, posts on here are called skeets? That can’t be right.

Surely they’d be something like bleets. Or blurbs. Blips?

Wait. Blunts? No. Hmm.

Blisks? Oh, that doesn’t good at all.

Bleeps maybe? Anything but skeets.

I want to talk about my trans son, the other trans people I know and love, and the need to fight for their rights. But I keep just circling back to this more basic statement:
“No voting on who gets to be people.”
