Was quite honoured to get the call to go and do some camerawork with People Make Games and help tell an important story!
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.

Proud of Bratt, Anni and all involved to jump onto the R* union busting story as quick as they have.

Real solid journalism about things that matter - people.

Cunts with nae convictions think this chat is such a gotcha.

Yes, anybody with any credibility will be doing exactly that if soulless companies keep using AI bullshit in their games.

Toy wise I also got this Wario Hot Wheels too, but that was just from Smyths.
I find the stinky lad is never on shelves so I felt I had to.

Went to a local toy show thing today which was small but I found some cheap “loved” toys for me.

Including micro masters, machine robo/gobots (forklift is called Spoons!) and the cursed toy that is Wheelie.

First episode of Pluribus watched, funny, creepy, stressful, a whole suite of emotions.

Enjoyed it even if the apple tv app on my PS5 wanted to mess up multiple times.

Hooked enough to watch the other episodes later, and just glad to Vince Gilligan doing something different to BB this time.

There's a cool @gamesradarplus.bsky.social feature about Mario that @hkt3030.neocities.org and I (mostly Nick) wrote. Give it a read to celebrate Mario's 40th.

If 3000 words on bloody Pokémon from me wasn't enough to read, how about half that on Ball x Pit?

(Warning I use a naughty word and also spoil an unlockable character - I wish it was spoiled for me honestly)

@tcgs.co I know you asked people to write in, but if you would like some of the predictions recorded a little simpler I have started a poll in the discord to answer: who rooms with who when the TCGS 4 are away.
