I know this is far more easily said than done (I’m a union member myself, and I get it), but unity is the key. As long as people will do non-union work then you’re right, it will never change. It’s a vicious circle. There are no union jobs because people will do the jobs anyway. Management has every reason to keep…

We added this detail to our report

The strike includes any and all promotions. Including cons. So except having to edit that comic-con article :D

To be fair, if you’re eating at a Chipotle, you’re not actually worried about eating shitty food.

Never heard of it. What do they serve?

Yup. They don’t even seem to work out that well for the companies. Activision’s full name is Activison-Blizzard-King. A common argument for these M&A’s is that either one or both companies will go out of business and put their employees out of work if the deal isn’t approved. And yet, Activision is still in this…

They are allowing the largest software company in the world, and the third largest company in the world by market cap, to purchase the largest game software company in the US (non first party).  That is fucking horrible.

Mergers and acquisitions of any kind are a net negative for the regular consumer. Call of Duty is on the way to exclusivity and that means a required Xbox purchase if not this gen, then next gen for 1 million+.

Where are you getting this from Microsoft is MASSIVE compared to Sony which itself is not “small”

I don’t think Sony is going anywhere. The only losers here are the gamers. 

She’s a surfer and she’s not allowed to surf with men or post photos in a bathing suit? Are you kidding me? That goes way beyond boundaries. He’s asking her to change who she is so he doesn’t feel insecure.

This tactic should be on the table in the writers strike, if it isn’t already. All creative should insist on contracts that protect their works — at the very minimum, prevent them from going into a vault, never to be seen again, all for the sake of a write-off.

So, no Spec Ops: The Line, but yes CP:2077

The whole game looks like it was made from collected assets. From everything I have seen of it, my eyes are constantly assaulted by the clearly mashed together objects that look like each asset was built by a different person.
There was a good opportunity to make an art collaboration project out of this with consenting…

He’s 3" taller than Cavill, but go off.

The Root once again sides with Jonathan Majors and helps him smear his victims. No mention of multiple accusers. No mention that the first thing Majors did was hire a lawyer who is famous for attacking and smearing victims.    Nothing but Major’s side of the story.    The Root hates women.   

Ok, you’re telling the story differently than the way I heard it - I thank you for the corrections. Also, the correct movie title! :)

The Italian reference was a general display of how lax regulations and rules adherence leads to unsafe working environments. I could have mentioned any type of industry in any low-wage, underdeveloped country really, it doesn’t matter.

That’s exactly what I’m saying - that was MY argument right from the beginning. ;)

The ideal number of people who should in the course of producing disposable entertainment is zero hth
