“The Xbox and PlayStation ads won’t be invasive guys don’t worry” Do you remember when Hulu was free with ads? And now you have to pay for it and it still has ads? And now it’s double the price it was when it started? And now when you pause your show you get ads there too?

The more I hear about GTA6, buying anything from them becomes less interesting. I got RDR2 on my wishlist, never played it, but if it means never ever giving money to Rockstar price rising, union busting, etc, then it's a sacrifice I have to make. I know it would be worth playing but I got a backlog

I'm sorry but I have to say, if you are planning on buying GTA6, especially day 1, I actually think less of you. Between the removing features for pricier versions, removing physical but costing more, and now needing a subscription service to see a trailer, this is a company that hates you.

I'd love to credit whoever wrote this. No idea. But I'm 100% with its message. When I think of how the '80s ethos, "Greed is Good" has metastasized, it surprises and depresses me. Imagine having so many millions, hundred of millions, even billions & caring about nothing except your own vanity.

Putting out early feelers for casting I'll be doing in Sept/Oct for 4 characters: - Vietnamese, female - East African (other African regions ok but East would be precise), any gender - Irish, male - and the last one's weird but I'd love to hear from streamers who got acting chops

I look like I got thrown down a fight of stairs, or blocked heavy weapons with my left arm after last night. Hey, I am okay, I just noticed all this before shaving, and don't worry about me, even on days I ain't 100%, I don't back down. Either I have a large health bar or transformations lol

I really thought this would have gone away, but a week later, I must've blocked a harsh kick. Plus tonight's training gave me a reality check. It wasn't a Kyokushin class, it was more my uncle's combat school, either way, there is a reason Kyokushin means "Ultimate Truth"

I don’t know how to use chatgpt etc but I imagine it’s going to a website and typing “oh no what groceries do I buy please tell me false god for I am so weak I cannot go on” as your brain atrophies and leaks out of your ears from disuse and the machine is like “buy eggs milk bread and a horse”

If you work for any studio of any size, your loyalty should never lie with a company. Instead, your loyalty and solidarity should always be with your fellow worker! We deserve better than this! YOU deserve better than this! PLAYERS deserve better than this!

If you work for a AAA studio and somehow haven't had it click yet, let this be yet another reminder that you owe no loyalty to any studio - as they will absolutely not be loyal to you. This sucks. My condolences to those impacted.

So, if I ever share something that is AI, I want people to tell me, I want to promote what hard work does when you keep going, and not just giving up for the easy way out. I'm just saying in a world where we want everything now, everything being too convenient, reminder that you're better than that.

The EHRC guidance slipped its way into law by default overnight. Do not self-police and do not let toilet weirdos and changing room weirdos dictate how you go about your life.
