It’s also worth pointing out that under UK law, firing someone for involvement in a trade union is ILLEGAL.

The only reason given by Rockstar was a private discord server used by Rockstar employees for…union organising. See image below for reasons something might be unfair dismissal.

I’m working on a small board game project to show people locally the unfair asymmetry the Palestinian people faced during the British mandate era of the 20s/30s. Inspired by the anticolonial work done at @wehrlegig.games

Also constantly analysing design and making little post mortems. I ordered two new notebooks to really get into the weeds of my board game collection! I am excited!

Strange antiquities just released today! I loved strange horticulture so I’m hopeful for it!

I really enjoyed Haiku the Robot. Lovely short metroidvania with oodles of charm!

Do you have a blog or video talking about combat systems? Because I would read the shit out of it!! 😄

I really enjoy counter systems but I think that’s more because I love rhythm games. I’m not sure I’ve engaged with a good range of hardcore combat systems

I’ve been lucky enough to work in the indie space my entire career so I’ve been able to just make videos talking about the amazing design of other games without an NDA looming over me
