Hey folks

After a wonderful six months, sadly April is my last at GamerGuides as my current contract comes to an end. This means I am wholeheartedly back on the job market!

I'm a Nintendo/Pokemon expert with years of editorial experience, as well as video editing + presenting
If only there was a video game franchise overtly about the dangerous rise of technolgy and the threat that the unchecked power of AI poses to the planet

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.

Was great to hear the dulcet tones of @alexolney.co.uk on the NVC podcast this week over at @ign.com !

I think that was the first time anyone has ever said the word 'git' on that show? Also, @loganjplant.bsky.social continues to be a fantastic host. The whole team is killing it atm 🔥

So not only is Square Enix going to try to replace 70% of its QA with AI, it's also apparently laying off at least 100 people (possibly significantly more) as it continues to consolidate its operations further and further:

Square Enix has announced mass layoffs today, potentially impacting over 100 individuals, alongside a broader effort to consolidate its publishing organization and focus its development work in Japan.

What's the bet we get Half Life 3 before GTA 6?
November 7, 2025 at 9:31 AM
Square Enix saying it wants to automate jobs with AI and then sweeping layoffs

Rockstar using a delay (it definitely already knew internally) to distract from union busting

Rough stuff!

This week I sat down with the very lovely Andrew of @dialoguetree.cc to discuss all things Pokémon, and the impending release of Legends Z-A!

We had a really good chat, and I also got to talk about my path into the industry, and my experience. Definitely give it a listen, and subscribe to the pod!
I played Pokémon Red more than Tetris. Then, I dropped the series forever.

I want to go back. @nathanellingsworth.bsky.social shows me how.

I absolutely love it. The new battle system will divide, but I think it works very well in the context of the game. In many ways, it's my dream Pokémon game. Insane music, too.

You can fistbump Totodile. GOTY.
