The funniest thing on here this afternoon is the people who are responding to news of a televised lynching with “omg, I feel like I live in some foreign country”

Been gently afraid of singing for the last DECADE because I wasn’t really up to par at theater school—but now I’m in a new musical and nailed my song on the first try, so they sent me home from rehearsal early. Maybe the lesson here is that nerves are stupid and I am unstoppable

Fortune’s Weave update Peter has taken personal offense to me trying to replace him with Halvin, as his stats are now ALL higher than hers (except Res) by 3-7 points

I’m so serious when I say y’all have to stop treating amab nonbinary people like men. & I mean the people who already respect afab nonbinary folks. Do you know how many amab enbies tell me I’m the 1st person to see & respect them? What are we doing? I’m happy to help, but the bar is on the ground

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a high school basketball game. The home team is down 9 points, and some players are looking discouraged on the bench. The coach points to a player just out of frame and says, “flippers, you’re in!” Panel 2: the away team attempts a deep 2-point shot, possibly to beat the buzzer, which is blocked by Flippers, a whale who doesn’t even have his arms up. Panel 3: the game ends and the home team excitedly crowd around Flippers, who won them the game. A player from the away team looks stunned, with his hands on his head.

Ezra Klein asked Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about AI making kids worse at math and reading. Huang’s reply: “Does it matter?” Then he said he doesn’t know his own address or phone number. “We’re going to lose some fine intellectual dexterity.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/o...

So the message of this research out of China, where you were seeing a lot of kids using A.I. to help them, was that when they were using the A.I., they were getting things done faster. But it turned out that the skills they were learning were not holding, that their actual personal performance, at least in the way we traditionally measure it, was degrading.

What do you think when you hear that?

The last part — I completely agree. Try to get a kid to do long division right now. The multiplication table is starting to be forgotten. Doing square roots, my goodness. Basic math is being forgotten. Does it matter?

That’s my question for you.

Yeah. I don’t think it does. I don’t think it does.

But there must be some set of skills that matter.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But maybe not those. We’re going to discover new ones. Just maybe not those.

There are a lot of skills that don’t matter. My first confession, I actually don’t know my address.

There’s been some nights since Fortune’s Weave came out where I was drawn back to my Tactics Memoriam solo playtesting campaign instead. And I think that’s greater proof than anything that the bones of my game are in a really good place. Because I’m not putting FW down for basically anything else

Mari, artist also known as ModelOmega@drmajalis.bsky.social · last yr.

"What your favourite Fire Emblem lord says about you" (/not very serious)

Marth: You think the original Fire Emblem and its remake Shadow Dragon are brilliant in their simplicity, and passionately advocate for the quality of Marth’s character growth from them to Mystery of the Emblem.

Alm: You think Gaiden should’ve just been about him.

Celica: You think Gaiden should’ve just been about her.

Sigurd: FE4/5をよりよく理解するために日本語を学び始めたんですね。

Seliph: You lie awake in a cold sweat in the eve before every Nintendo Direct wondering if this is the time an FE4 remake will be announced.

Leaf: You probably still use the original fan-translated names for the cast from FE4/5.

Roy: You have not played any of the games and have only interacted with the Fire Emblem series through Smash Bros.

Lyn: Blazing Sword was your first Fire Emblem game, and you hate how she became a side character in her own game after the prologue.

Eliwood: Wait, I thought this was Roy?

Hector: You really love yaoi and himbos, and you might feel that Ike is a lesser knockoff of him.

Eirika: You get really angry whenever people bring up the scene in her route in Ch18 and feel like people always unfairly judge the female Fire Emblem lords.

Ephraim: You don’t particularly care about the story and characters and just play Fire Emblem for the gameplay.

Ike: You really love yaoi and himbos, and are in hiding because Nintendo has sent Agent 47 after you for emulating their games.

Micaiah: You have gotten into several heated debates where you defended the writing and structure of Radiant Dawn and praised it as one of the most complex and engaging narratives of the series. As a side note, you probably also feel the Fire Emblem series lost its soul after RD and feel that none of the games after have felt the same.

The craziest thing about Fortune’s Weave is that there’s no load times. I can’t even read the game tips between areas, even when I warp somewhere on the map. I would so so happily take this over hyper realistic graphic fidelity any day of the week.

it would be helpful to mention japanese labor laws re: layoffs as a factor in these types of stories

Quiet Restructuring vs. U.S.-Style Layoffs

In Japan, U.S.-style sudden mass layoffs are rare by law and custom. Instead, firms practice a "quiet change". They curb hiring, redeploy staff internally, and expand early-retirement schemes. For example, Tokyo Shoko Research reports that 46 listed companies in FY2025 offered early retirement to over 20,000 workers. Notably, many announcements emphasized retraining and redeployment over firing. A consultant's study notes that Japanese companies are focusing on "eliminating redundant tasks" to boost productivity, rather than simply cutting headcount.

What, if any, additional considerations apply if large numbers of dismissals (redundancies) are planned? How many employees need to be affected for the additional considerations to apply?
-

In cases of layoffs, courts tend to determine the validity of the dismissal by comprehensively considering the specific circumstances related to the following four elements (Tokyo District Court Decision, January 21, 2000; Osaka High Court Judgment, March 24, 2016, etc.).Since restructuring dismissals are dismissals based on the employer’s circumstances, stricter standards are applied in determining their validity than for dismissals attributable to the employee’s fault. These standards apply regardless of the number of employees targeted for dismissal.

(i) Necessity of Personnel Reduction: The implementation of personnel reduction must be based on sufficient necessity arising from corporate management issues such as recession, decline, or poor business performance, or be recognised as an unavoidable measure.

(ii) Efforts to Avoid Dismissal (Necessity of Selecting Layoffs as a Means of Workforce Reduction) : Measures to avoid layoffs must have been implemented, such as reducing expenses (including cutting overtime pay by stopping overtime work), reducing temporary workers, reducing or eliminating executive compensation and employee bonuses, not renewing fixed-term contracts, halting new hires, suspending pay raises, reassigning employees, or offering voluntary retirement programs.

(iii) Rationality of Selection: Objective and reasonable criteria must be established for selecting employees subject to dismissal, and these criteria must be applied fairly.

(iv) Fairness of the termination process: Conducting labour-management negotiations, individual interviews, and other procedures to provide explanations, disclose information, and engage in consultation with workers.

Eurogamer@eurogamer.bsky.social · 3w ago

Why do Japanese studios suffer fewer layoffs? Because they have smaller teams and don't pay their execs $30m, says one expert www.eurogamer.net/japan-game-d...
