Big Bad Wolf fermé : 46 licencié•es Le 7 mai, la direction a annoncé la fermeture de Big Bad Wolf aux salarié‧es de Cyanide, et leur a interdit d'en parler à ceux de Big Bad Wolf, qui auraient appris leur licenciement par la presse sans la solidarité de certain‧es.

It’s just a joke dude

🔴 Après avoir été 50 en soutien au piquet de Kylotonn le 27 mai, puis 130 grévistes lors d’un premier débrayage le 3 juin, les travailleureuses de Quantic Dream organisent un nouveau débrayage cet après-midi, pour demander l’annulation de l’abject plan de licenciement.

Y'all. Please remember the artists that drew these things when sending around memes. I feel for these artists who NEVER get credited for these (and some, nowadays, are even being accused of being AI!) Here's a few common ones I see (feel free to add others, I want this to be a living thread): 🧵

The great thing about being a @itsquinns.bsky.social patron is that if you can resist the urge to immediately buy a game, after a couple weeks it's sold out anyway. Just saved €120 on Stonetop, thanks to the power of the collective! Thanks everyone!!

Welcome back dazzle camouflage

@flight-elements.bsky.social sorry to bother, do you know if Origin Complex is getting a (re)print or something? I've been on a mecha kick lately and it looks like the book is only available as Kindle version, when really it should be displayed on a shelf once I'm done with it. Thanks!

RE: last rebloosk, if you're an editor or have been one, consider signing the petition here.

Absolutely shameful behavior from @wikimediafoundation.org. Reinstate the fired union organizers and get your act together.

🏴🚩 Licenciements, liquidations, entraves… : appel national à la grève dans le jeu vidéo Notre industrie est au bord du gouffre, et subit sa pire crise sociale depuis plus de 20 ans. Le STJV appelle à une journée de grève mercredi 27 mai. www.stjv.fr/2026/05/...

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

⚖️ Le studio Mi-Clos est condamné à verser 43 000€ à une plaignante notamment pour harcèlement sexuel par les Prud’Hommes. Lisez notre article pour en savoir plus ⤵️

“This game was targeted for harassment because it involved this person, or that person” No. Any game release that achieves any broad level of attention now will attract reactionary commentators and their harassment, because generating hatred is how they make their money. It’ll never be enough.

🇬🇧⚖️The STJV is suing Amplitude Studios, which is trying to force its way through on generative AI without discussing with unions. Since January, management has been changing their AI plans to avoid negotiating with our union, then plans to start a pilot phase in May⤵️

Une semaine après la fermeture confirmée de Spiders, le syndicat STJV avance qu'un autre studio Nacon passera bientôt par des licenciements massifs. Un PSE pourrait raboter le spécialiste du jeu de course Kylotonn, de 120 salarié·es à une team de 30 et quelques têtes. www.stjv.fr/2026/05/kylo...

Aujourd'hui, la loi Rodwell a été adoptée en première lecture par l'Assemblée nationale, y compris son article 6 qui restreint les conditions du changement de prénoms et l'interdit aux personnes étrangères qui ne peuvent pas l'effectuer dans leur pays d'origine.

#Artemis astronaut Christina Koch was putting stuff away in a locker close to the camera's viewpoint, and as she shoved something inside that looked suspiciously like a pee pouch, out came flying a full-sized JAR OF NUTELLA I can't be the only one who's seen this???

y'all don't even understand the dire circumstances that prompted this incredible shitpost

A very solid analysis and a thread well worth reading

There must be a way to hide loss in this

I'm remaking Cryo's 1992 Dune, a strange, wonderful mix between adventure game and real-time strategy, with an absolute killer soundtrack. This really blurred the genre lines and when I played it, around ages 8-10, I was astounded by the depth of it. I still think about it all the time.

I’m officially a work of art 💅🖼️✨ Don’t miss me and more at Video Games & Music Exhibition @philharmonie.bsky.social from 2 April - 2 November 2026 #philarmoniedeparis #videogamemusic

you are NOT prepared I swear

It tears me apart that I can't show you everything just yet, but give me a year or two and I'll invite to a great adventure, I promise. Sharing these because of vibes. #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

🐍 Kylotonn, Cyanide, Spiders et Nacon Tech ont demandé leur mise en redressement judiciaire ce lundi 23 mars. Après des années de défauts de gestion, Nacon et les directions doivent assumer les conséquences de leurs propres actions.

Early next month I'm running the first "Video Game Story Sessions", with the first themed to trans games. Any trans game makers in Ireland/Dublin pls submit ya games and think about how you might play/structure it for an audience. Feel free to share with anyone else. forms.gle/hPNu5H8hdCVr...
