Appel à témoins 📢 Je travaille sur le verrouillage du doublage de JV en France et les éditeurs qui délocalisent cette étape pour ne pas s’embêter avec les questions d’IA dans les contrats. Anonymat garanti, n’hésitez pas si vous pouvez m’aider 👇

losing an hour on International Women’s Day feels right

🐍 Nous publions une lettre-ouverte des représentant·es du personnel des entreprises de Nacon à la direction du groupe, concernant la procédure de redressement judiciaire ouverte hier :

My "my surveillance network doesn't enable mass surveillance" tshirt is raising a lot of questions that I can hear thanks to my surveillance network

Rappel que quand les chevaux ont été "libérés", ils ont fini dans nos lasagnes... www.forbes.com/sites/nadiaa...

This is the kind of stuff the internet is for

lol this is gonna burst so fucking hard

if you asked me to diagnose the western game industry's current problem it would start with "landlords have absorbed basically all disposable income"

We've raised nearly $6800 for this utterly essential organization (see thread). Can you help us get to $7500 today? (Remember to click "adjust donation")

Many such scenes

This whole mess is real fun to write takes about because no self-respecting leftist should ever go “AND YOU SHOULD GIVE EVERYONE THE SHITTY STATE TRINKET”, but also it’s blatantly bullshit to leave unstable contracts out of your list for the shitty state trinket

« On leur demande d’arrêter avec leur autoritarisme forcené » : trois jours de grève chez Ubisoft, géant du jeu vidéo à la dérive Par @anglesyannis.bsky.social‬, @cechautefeuille.bsky.social et @dan-mdpt.bsky.social

📢 Au moins 1200 personnes en grève dans le groupe Ubisoft aujourd'hui ! Les travailleureuses disent non à la stratégie de l'échec de la dynastie Guillemot et oui à la liberté de fabriquer de bons jeux vidéo dans de bonnes conditions. La grève continue demain et après-demain ✊

Remember if you watch this show or buy this merch, no trans person will like or trust you ever again. Sorry but those are the rules.

Ça se masse devant le siège du groupe Ubisoft à Saint-Mandé pour le premier de trois jours de grève. On s’en parle bientôt 🎤

Modifions ce titre de @lemonde.fr posant le patronat comme une victime alors qu’il se prépare à licencier 200 personnes pour le rendre plus honnête : « Les salarié·es d’Ubisoft sont en grève car confronté·es au licenciement de 200 de leurs collègues par la direction ».

how about after the game launches they lay off the CEO

✊🌀 Ubisoft : Les organisations syndicales ont appelées à la grève les 10, 11 et 12 février. Voici la liste des piquets qui auront lieu partout en France ⤵️

Et on est toujours là !

My partner finished the game last night and although she admittedly stumbled upon what she thinks is the "good ending" by chance, she had a great time. Strongly recommended by the smartest person I know.

Hello hello ! Nouvelle vidéo sur les Guignols de l'Info ! Le partage est chou ! Maintenant vous pouvez éteindre vos télévisions et bon dimanche youtu.be/LTsWoxKEhz8

UBISOFT - Appel à la grève Jeudi 22 Janvier - Matin Suites aux annonces catastrophiques venant de M. Yves Guillemot (plan de réductions des coûts, projets tués, arrêt du télétravail, etc.), la section Solidaires Informatique appelle à un débrayage ce Jeudi 22 Janvier matin.

Btw mon Starter Pack des gens queer francophone du JV existe toujours, et a toujours de la place !

PMG have just released their excellent video covering the situation at Rockstar. Thanks to @chrisbratt.bsky.social for this great and important piece of journalism. You can check it out here: youtu.be/dnuipPQDd_w?...

Je pensais que ce qui m'était arrivé (de la drague bien lourdingue en DM alors que je venais juste de me séparer de mon ex qui était *sa meilleure amie*) était une occurrence isolée, eh bien les bras m'en tombent. Soutien à tous ceux qui ont subi.

I was barely awake when I came across this but you bet I had some choice words to share...

Lettre ouverte pour + de transparence de la part de Speedons et MdM suite aux articles Médiapart. Les grosses ONG ne sont pas étrangères aux dynamiques abusives, ça n'enlève pas la valeur de leurs actions MAIS il serait bon de savoir ce qui est fait pr améliorer les choses avant de les (re)soutenir

Got a pretty nice banjo for Christmas, having never touched the instrument before, and in this age of awful news in 4k there's one thing I am rediscovering, and it's the joy that comes from slowly learning a new skill! Absolute joy

I can see 2026 starts STRONG. Following some cancellations, I am yet again looking for new positions and/or missions. I do everything from pure content writing to narrative design, including direction, teaching, localization. sites.google.com/view/leontro...

Some scholars refer to the period as "the Long 2000s"

"international law must be followed" is european for "thoughts and prayers"

I have no other choice, but to reopen narrative design mentoring sessions in February and March: · 45 minutes in English or French; · Portfolio review, resume, narrative design in general; · Non-commercial only; · ABSOLUTELY FREE! Sign up down below!

Bientôt les petites miettes de RAM qui croustillent pour assaisonner vos plats !

I've heard Kratos on occasion, which means I am a bald white man with beard.

I met a lady called Melanie today when we both pulled out of our parking spots opposite each other at the same time, having checked nobody was coming, and rear ended each other.

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

She's very photogenic #ProofofCat

The secret to networking in video games is to meet lots of peers at a similar stage in their careers. Identify one who's really talented; you must then kill them and bury their heart under a crossroad. A thing wearing their face will contact you in 7 days and offer to elevate you, at a price.

The localization master file for Star Wars: The Old Republic was well over 600Mb at launch and opening it to check a term (which community folks had to do to translate patch notes into French and German) took some 15 minutes.

Related: If you like anime, whether you realize it or not, you've probably marveled at an "Itano Circus;" an action scene featuring aerial combat, with loads of skittering projectiles chasing a target. This was developed by Ichirō Itano. Watch a compilation here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6x8q...

✨ Dark Fantasy Aesthetic trend ✨ except there’s no generative AI because it’s the retro-fantasy game I’m making ⚔️

Happy holidays, Flameborn! ❤️‍🔥 The ShroudShrooms Community raced against the clock to finish this build in time, and when we say that it's a Christmas miracle, we're barely even exaggerating. Take a look at their Christmas Village!

The year is 2035. There are three game studios left. Each one produces a game every 10 years, killing 250+ developers in the process. They all accidentally make the same game because they used genAI in preproduction. They sell 500 million units each, missing quarterly targets. Everyone is laid off.
