This afternoon, IWGB Game Workers joined together with unions from all over Europe, including @stjv.fr and @csvi-cgt.bsky.social to protest against Rockstar's union busting in Paris - on est là!
Protests continued today outside Take Two's offices in London, but also in Paris, where Le Syndicat des Travailleureuses du Jeu Vidéo (@stjv.fr) came out to show their international solidarity with the fired Rockstar workers.

@canardpc.com Mr PC, Il y a quelques annees, Aux alentour de 2012, vous aviez ecrit sur un jeu ambiance "lovecraft" ou on explore un manoir piece par piece, genere aleatoirement, vu de dessus, et il me semble qu'il y avait des malus/bonus sous forme de carte. Impossible a retrouver. Une idee ?

Because this helps reinforce that this bullshit is okay and acceptable and that's kinda fucked

When I was there (not in animation) I remember teams were of max 3 people, sometimes one. Did it change ? They were pretty polyvalent
absolutely beautiful, clearly influenced by the french comic series The Ogre Gods but nonetheless amazing
goeblins always kills it because their teams are made of students who specialize in like color direction or rough animation or final lineart etc instead of doing a whole thing themselves

A goldrush where no one has found gold, but the shovel sellers are going to the bank to borrow money to buy more shovels, not to use but to rent out, because the shovel manufacturer has assured them "Don't worry, if they don't move, we'll rent them back from you!"
I wonder if this will work forever?
