We, the workers at Bethesda Games Studios, express our solidarity and support for the developers at Rockstar Games. Last month’s firings in the UK and Canada were a clear and disgusting case of union busting.

Inventing a new type of guy with a lot of super cool high-thoughts in their emails desperately hoping to be deposed so they can share these insights with the world.

Oh man Dog Witch slaps.

Scare your boss this Halloween by talking to your coworkers (on your personal devices outside of company time, ideally on an encrypted app like Signal) about organizing your workplace 👻

What if we put the rapture scam in the AI scam?

"why are games so expensive" "why are mass layoffs happening" "why are games getting cancelled" "why did that popular studio close" it's capitalism. capitalism is why all of this is happening. the rampant prioritizing of profit over the all else, from price and quality to dev health and well being.

Proof Silksong is a baby game.

Just some guys I know

The Orphan Crusher is here to stay. If we don’t feed more Orphans to the Crusher the Orphan Crushing industry will die. It’s time to wake up to the reality of the Orphan Crusher. The Orphan Crusher is worth billions. We need to teach people to use the Orphan Crusher. It’s here to stay.

Guilla-monster is very hungry

My wife is in labor, but I am stuck in Bilewater doing the horrible run back to fight Groal the Great, so who can say which of us is suffering more?

Making up a guy to hate

Bleh

Explorin’

I have learned that by context switching hundreds of times a day I can maintain the feeling of extreme business and stress while accomplishing nothing. I am red-lining my engine in the garage, melting my GPU. This will certainly start generating a profit soon and no one should be alarmed.

Buncha guys

Bug

Bug

Since updating to iPadOS 26 Zbrush once again refuses to open or make any new files. It worked fine during the beta. Last time this happened I had to manually backup all my work and wipe the whole iPad. This shit sucks. Searching is so terrible these days I don’t know if anyone else has this issue.

Ribbit

I see it now

Doodlin some freaks

Two trials will be repeated endlessly despite always producing the same results: 1) Does UBI work? (yes) 2) Does AI improve productivity? (no)

Everything that intends to grow forever must inevitably become evil/ predatory/scammy. There are only so many resources that can be acquired in an ethical or neutral way. I feel like companies bigger than 1000 people (100?, 50?, 10?) maybe should not exist. Maybe multicellular life was a mistake.

I wish all vaccine deniers A very enjoy your rabies But please vaccinate your animals it is an utterly horrific way to die and they do not deserve that.

5 minutes into haggling over parts and he gives you this look wyd

I worry we are just completely unprepared for how badly LLMs ruin understanding. Lies made by humans can be reverse engineered and repaired with effort. The lies of AI are so without intent it is like a weird distortion jumble over all our collective understanding. How will we communicate?

While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI: At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.

Hello it’s me Sam Altman I have a zillion dollar idea it’s a chat bot that tells teenagers to kill themselves and you can generate csam with it and it poisons the air and water and it’s wrong most of the time and we’re going to put it in your refrigerator and stuff 👍 I need more money for this btw

Just creepin about

once again I will remind people that the structure of unions and labor relations we have in this country was a compromise because the alternative involved firebombing the houses of the executives

the nascent internet's most exciting thing was the possibility of a single repository of total human knowledge, for me to look up whenever I want. AI is an abomination because it will show you something you've never seen before, and you think you know more about the world, but you only know a lie

Among the least consequential annoyances of our dumb LLM pushing world is that now whenever I see a name like Alex shortened or cut off to Al I immediately want to scream and put a brick through my screen. Our poor Alexanders and Allisons do not deserve this.

I wish so much ill.

Just noodlin on a weirdie.

[seeing all the billionaires on their waiting list] It’s important that we let this play out

'Microsoft has no place being accomplice of a genocide:' Arkane union workers demand Xbox maker sever ties with Israel

I emerged from long tunnelf beneath the Earth and beheld a wretched youth perched atop a great wheeled beaft. The youth did cackle and goad he mount buck upright toward the Heavenf in mockery of the Holy forme of Man and in defianfe of God. I did gaze upon the heretic wheelie and knew true defpair.

my message for the AI developers of the world

Been playing around with a Thecla Book of the New Sun sculpt but am coming to the realization I don’t really have anything much to say about her besides “lady big”. I should prob make her gown weirder.

Respect to folks who put their jobs on the line to expose Big Tech's complicity with Israel's genocide

I live a life of such enormous privilege and yet it still feels like every element of my person and environment from micro to macro is balanced perilously on a knife’s edge and at any moment it could all collapse into a bloody ruinous heap. Is this just what your 40s are like? Is it the facism?

It's hard to overstate how much loss the game industry is experiencing right now in terms of talent, passion, and expertise.
