A statement from our union president on the amazing turnout of support for the Game Industry Hardship Fund itch.io bundle 🙏 👇 The bundle is live for 10 more days to support devs in need, but a long-term difference can be made by joining UVW-CWA directly. ✊ uvw-cwa.org itch.io/b/3802/game-...

A message from United Videogame Workers, a Code-CWA Union, part 1: A statement from Aurelia Augusta - President, UVW-CWA Local 9433:

The response to the Hardship Fund has been so awe-inspiring and so great that it's honestly made it difficult to write a statement because every time I look away, the total amount raised by the itch bundle leaps forward yet again and I find a few more tears of joy on my face.

A message from United Videogame Workers, a Code-CWA Union, part 2: As I'm writing this, we've just passed $97,000 that will go directly into the pockets of struggling game workers, raised at a truly incredible speed, in addition to the $25K already dispersed by UVW-CWA.

I want to start with a massive thanks to players who have bought the bundle, signal-boosted it, or otherwise supported this effort.

A message from United Videogame Workers, a Code-CWA Union, part 3: To our allies in the labour movement who have supported this effort, everyone in UVW-CWA continues to be awed by and thankful for your solidarity and ever proud to be standing up to fight for workers alongside you.

And to all game workers, I want to highlight that this is just small example of what's possible when we stand together as workers. Together in solidarity, we can make sure that this is far from just a one-off reprieve.

A message from United Videogame Workers, a Code-CWA Union, part 4: We can make an industry where workers don't have to choose between fighting for their rights and paying their bills.

It will take time, it will take winning the many fights to come, but I adamantly believe that one day we can make an industry and a world where we won't need a hardship fund.

Join us today in that fight at uvw-cwa.org.

In Solidarity,
Aurelia Augusta - President,
UVW-CWA Local 9433

BY THE WAY If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2. There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security. Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation." TURN IT OFF.

I have to believe that people still care about human creativity, and human made wonders. I refuse to accept the nihilism being peddled by those who say AI is inevitable. It's a choice. We can choose to be better.

EVERYONE STOP cheese wheel of cheeses

A circular infographic chart categorizing cheeses by type of milk and texture. At the center, four sections are labeled cow, sheep, goat, and buffalo, radiating outward into concentric rings for textures: soft, semi-soft, semi-hard, and hard. Each cheese name is placed within its corresponding segment, with illustrated wedges of cheese circling the outer edge. Cow’s milk occupies the largest portion, featuring well-known varieties like Brie, Camembert, Taleggio, Havarti, Gouda, Cheddar, and Parmesan. Sheep’s milk includes cheeses such as Roquefort, Manchego, and Pecorino Romano. Goat’s milk features options like Chèvre, Crottin de Chavignol, and Humboldt Fog. Buffalo is represented by Mozzarella di Bufala Campana and Buffalo Blue. The cheeses are organized visually so that softer varieties appear closer to the center and harder ones toward the edge. Small colored drawings show each cheese’s texture, rind, and tone, from creamy whites and soft rounds to golden blocks, crumbly wedges, and blue-veined interiors. The background is a deep charcoal gray, making the warm oranges, yellows, and creams of the cheeses stand out clearly.

Since today's discourse is on how "not everyone grew up with Nintendo", I'll reshare this: medium.com/@felipepepe/... And reinforce that this is systemic - a consequence of US hegemony. It's NOT a personal attack on American journos, youtubers & gamers, but rather a reminder of our differences.

Important to note; Japan has way stricter laws around laying people off. Actual protections from its government that force companies to do things like have execs take pay cuts before doing a mass layoff. The solution to this problem is not a “good” CEO. It’s systemic and complete reform.

Sometimes the internet is good! Many years after Ann wrote their dialogue (and I drew fanart of them) she discovered my art of these two Mass Effect Citadel DLC NPCs and left me a very nice message on tumblr the other day! Figured I'd share the art with bluesky as well!

Sepia toned loose sketch page of a Turian soldier and his adopted human teen daughter. They traverse reaper-infested territory together, him with a pistol and her with a rifle. Some scenes are drawn to directly reference Joel and Ellie from The Last of Us.

Sketch of the two sitting and talking as the Turian cleans his pistol. The human girl says: Do you... have a family? The Turian responds: I... hope so. On Palaven - I was married once. Had a daughter. Since the war started... Well, comms with Palaven haven't been easy.

Sketch of the Turian pointing at his pistol, teaching the human girl about how it works. They sit on the ground among rubble and grass.

Screenshot from the game of the two characters talking. We're on a space station and the dinosaur-bird-like Turian soldier sits behind a desk. On the other side of the desk is a young blonde human girl, small compared to the large Turian.

financial advice in a weird time: -- develop a plan -- find friends who support you -- preferably 10 of them -- steal $160 million from the Bellagio, the Mirage, and the MGM Grand -- yes those are Terry Benedict's casinos -- get your wife back -- one of the friends should be Don Cheadle btw simple
