Another great article from Quinn about feeling "stuck" at work.

I've definitely been in the "I don't want to ask for help because I'm senior enough that I'm meant to just know these things" downward spiral.

I feel bad enough taking up slightly more than one seat when there's no leg room for my giant Mr Tickle legs.

But four seats? No excuse!

Looks like the type who would also insist that we're not even allowed to celebrate Christmas anymore to avoid offending the "bloody foreigners".

The Rockstar Workers Fired Before They Could Finish GTA 6
The Rockstar Workers Fired Before They Could Finish GTA 6 YouTube video by People Make Games

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.

There's probably a "cry that they axed Mock the Week" step in there too.

Actually, OBS has supported fragmented MP4 for a while now, which is useful because a few editing apps fail to read MKVs.

I'd like to see artists and record companies go after the AI industry as hard as when they went after individual Napster/Limewire users back in the 2000s.

I just don't understand how unprecedented copyright theft is acceptable now it's billion dollar Silicon Valley companies doing it.

For starters, all the windows are far too rounded! I had to add extra padding to my terminal windows to be bearable.

Mandatory update for my work-managed laptop, so I had no choice.

Seeing as yesterday's article popped off a bit, I woke up this morning and decided to turn it into a video.

The kids yearn for the videos, after all.

GOG purchases are DRM-free, so as long as you download and store your game somewhere, you can reinstall it later, even while offline.

This is useful, as GOG is losing money, presumably because they're often more expensive than the endless Steam sales and users don't fully understand the license.

I wish I knew why, despite having a terrible memory for most things, the mere mention of "crushing grapes" during the Friday afternoon quiz at work, made me mentally jump to Stu Francis on Crackerjack, circa 1984 - www.youtube.com/watch?v=aa2Z...

CW: 1980s "humour" and Keith Harris.

Listening back to some old interview podcasts from 2020.

Not sure which is more jarring, the discussions of lockdown changes interspersed with urgent warnings from the government, downloaded at the time. Or, with newly downloaded versions, jaunty ads for going outside and doing thingsโ„ข.

Today, I swear that TikTok is recommending more videos by fun American creators I've never seen before now, like they're rubbing the US ban in.

The video thumbnail for PMG's original documentary, showing a white, American hand clasping cash in exchange for the labour of a Southeast Asian workforce, represented here as being weighed down by their immense workload.

The video thumbnail for PMG's original documentary, showing a white, American hand clasping cash in exchange for the labour of a Southeast Asian workforce, represented here as being weighed down by their immense workload.

Back in 2021, PMG reported on the unseen games industry crunch taking place at outsourcing studios in SE Asia.

Since then, the companies we looked at have continued to work on some of the biggest games in the world, without any push to improve the conditions of the artists doing that work. (1/7)
