NEW: I spoke with current and former EA employees to understand how the latest layoff round played out and the realities of daily life at the U.S. publisher. The short version? EA is controlled by an executive class that "cannot fail, only be failed." Workers, then, will always pay the price.

"I don't want to work at this place anymore:" EA workers decry mismanagement and corporate greed after mass layoffs Current and former EA employees paint a bleak picture of daily life at one of the video game industry's most prominent publishers

I often think about how Charlie Daniels hated Guitar Hero 3 using The Devil Went Down to Georgia because the devil could win in the game. Same daft auld cunt that considered the song a victory against the devil, and not the devil exploiting Johhny's pride to make him even more prideful.

Had a similar thing a few weeks back after finishing Kuon on stream, and checking to see if there were other endings. Found a guides site that listed bosses, endings, and mechanics that just don't exist. It completely invented them through AI hallucinations.

"These tools have made it very easy for bad actors to crowd out good information..." AI fan wikis riddled with errors are muddying the waters of an already contested part of games culture www.eurogamer.net/ai-fan-wikis...

RE: Recent events just now but If you're happy playing an AI MTL of a game and Daddy Claude can't even translate the title correctly then you may have a hole in your brain 😀

Fell off doing weight for a few months there, and getting back on tonight felt like starting from scratch. My arms are killed.

Boltgun 2 is out now and the release of Warhammer Survivors is just two weeks away. You know what that means.

ROMEO! #riadm #ghm #suda51

I haven't read the article yet, but I wonder how much deciding not to put this one on PC affected them.

🐈 Miu the Cat 📍 Garden of Delight Record Store

You don't "create content", you "do videos".

It's so nice with the new camera options so yer frame isnae takin' up half the screen.

I miss Half-Life: Alyx.

Somebody's uncle just got this notification in the pub and is having to be talked down from the fence in the beer garden. (It is an 8 foot drop)

Choking laughing there at how subtly furious my da is because while explaining to him that the roof has been leaking down into the walls for years and nothing has been done about it, I just pushed my entire finger through a wall with zero effort to prove it.

When the Space Marines are too woke for you I just feel like you gotta go home, man. There's gotta be a point where you chill.

🐈 Max the Cat 📍 Huckleberry Books (Cranbrook, CA)

Pumpkin tester.

Beautiful timing.

I am sorry, but I massively underestimated how tired I'd be getting up early to stream on a day off, and then going a massive cycle after it. Forgive me, but we'll stream another day.
