Gave a talk tonight and I love showing this slide so much to show a small portion of what's possible when we push for change. What would you like at your workplace?

I am so proud of what we've built with nogamesforgenocide.com. I've been working on this project for over two years and we've had soooooo many conversations amongst ourselves, BDS, and people who might be interested to try to get this right. I'd love for you all to take a look.

Unions ain't busted. Our campaign against @rockstargames.com continues - reinstate your workers now!

This Saturday at 1pm is our Guildford Game Workers Social! Join us at the Keep pub for drinks, snacks and games! Non-members are welcome, as are folks from outside Guildford who are up for the trip! Register for free here: luma.com/r6kqe5cl

It's great to see MPs support our campaign! @rockstargames.com, it's time to reinstate your workers!

This afternoon, IWGB Game Workers joined together with unions from all over Europe, including @stjv.fr and @csvi-cgt.bsky.social to protest against Rockstar's union busting in Paris - on est là!

@rockstargames.com - it's time to reinstate your workers!

Over 200 Rockstar staff have written to management in support of unfairly fired union members. We have published more details on our website, although we have not yet released the exact contents of the letter: www.gameworkers.co.uk/rockstar-ope...

The IWGB has issued legal claims against Rockstar for firing 30+ workers. 🌱 iwgb.org.uk/en/post/iwgb...

We won't let Rockstar break our union and we won't be intimidated - support our campaign here: actionnetwork.org/fundraising/...

Join our protest tomorrow! Let's show Rockstar & Take Two that we won't stand for union busting! 🙌

Support the unlawfully fired Rockstar game workers! https://actionnetwork.org/fundraising/support-rockstar-workers-fighting-unfair-dismissals/

Rockstar union workers have set up a solidarity fund to help our fight after 30 of them were fired in an attempt to destroy the union. Help us fight back! Anything you can donate will massively help our efforts to hold Rockstar to account. actionnetwork.org/fundraising/...

Rockstar union workers have set up a solidarity fund to help them survive and fight after 30 of them were fired in an attempt to destroy the union. Help them fight back! If you can, any little bit you can donate will massively help their efforts. actionnetwork.org/fundraising/...

Across the world, game dev unions are standing with us. @rockstargames.com - reinstate our members, now!

This is the most ruthless act of union busting in the history of the UK games industry. Yesterday, @rockstargames.com unfairly fired over 30 employees for union activity. We won't back down, and we're not scared - we will fight for every member to be reinstated.

You know when we smugly realize how naive and stupid we were in the past? "Oh lol they thought this or did that haha how dumb". I feel the same way about the present with how we're dealing with the AI hype (albeit more worried than smug).

Just pushed v0.0.0c Changelog's over on Itch. I've also been getting the Portable Weather Station ready for the Demo. Here's some WIP screenshots; https://studiozweihander.itch.io/deadreckoning #godotengine #godot #gamedev #indiedev

Pushed a small update to my demo. Was mainly fixing up some small issues I found after publishing - But I did also get a bit of time to add a new little WIP menu for choose which items to spawn. https://studiozweihander.itch.io/deadreckoning #godotengine #godot #gamedev #indiegame

#OtD 21 Oct 2016 After almost 18 months of negotiations, SAG-AFTRA, the union in the US representing the actors who voice video game characters, launched a strike against 11 US video game companies https://www.gameworkersolidarity.com/action/2016-10-sag-aftra-strike

Good morning. Starlink has now launched more than TEN THOUSAND satellites into orbit. Nearly 1400 have already been burned up in the atmosphere so far. Here's a "lovely" image from my Kuiper Belt discovery program with dozens of satellite streaks in a 3 hour […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

An excellent article from the BBC on the situation at Build A Rocket Boy. IWGB Game Workers stand shoulder to shoulder with Ben, Isaac, and Marg, who have demonstrated enormous courage in speaking out against corporate mismanagement. This is what solidarity looks like. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We stand in solidarity with employees and ex-employees at Build a Rocket Boy as they file legal claims through our union and publish an open letter, condemning the way in which they’ve been mistreated and discarded by the studio’s millionaire executives. www.gameworkers.co.uk/barb-open-le...

🙌The first recognised union for game devs in the UK! 🙌 Workers at ZAUM now have a say on their pay and conditions at work with the support of the @iwgbunion.bsky.social Work in games in the UK? Join our union today: iwgb.org.uk/en/join/game...

I am so, so inspired by the workers at ZA/UM who unionized. This is such a fantastic step for @gameworkers.co.uk in the UK. Our first recognized union! www.gamesindustry.biz/after-layoff...

"ZA/UM union workers will be represented by the Independent Workers Union of Great Britain. Studio management has recognized the fledging union and will meet regularly with a committee of elected workplace representatives." Work in the UK games industry? Join us today: iwgb.org.uk/en/join/game...

I am simultaneously horrified at what's going on in the games industry and also I am absolutely loving how many people are becoming radicalized by it all. There are way more of us than them and we can absolutely do something with that collective power.

A great researcher I work with @carlysagan is looking for research funding or a remote position! It is really depressing how little funding is available to research the effects of satellite reentries... we REALLY need to get more scientists on this, because 1-5 Starlinks per day are reentering […]

Devastated to see the recent news about EA, our hearts go out to those who may now feel worried about their job security. Now is a great time for workers at EA owned companies to organise whilst there is still time. You can find more information about our union here: www.gameworkers.co.uk

The day I go on a coach and the bus clock is set right, I'll shave my beard. It's never happened to me.

Ok #pastagang Because I couldn't find a group replacement, I just did it myself! Code is here: https://codeberg.org/pastagang/mastodon-group Account is @pastagang Reblogs all mentions, and follows all, that it rebloged.

Pay or consent advertising is coming the UK 👎 At the Newsmast Foundation we oppose this binary choice approach to advertising which will, without doubt, affect the most marginalised communities. We hope that the UK will follow the example of the EU and block Meta from actioning this change […]

Ugh trying to share a post with links and hashtags so it bridges correctly to bsky is not the best experience. It gets truncated too early, missing all the stuff
