Nothing fucking works any more

Screenshot of a DuckDuckGo search for Invader Zim Roboparents Gone Wild

message reads "No results found for Invader Zim Roboparents Gone Wild."

It suggests I ask Duck.ai

First result is the Zim Wiki entry for Roboparents

Second result is Invader ZIM - Roboparents Gone Wild, which is literally what I searched for in the other screenshot that gave me nothing

Thanks Peter. The long and short is I had a bad experience, one off experience with someone in the industry and when I pulled at how theyve secured positions of influence (chairman of the UK video game council etc) it just revealed a LOT that needs to change.

Angus, you're an angel. It shouldn't be this hard for the video games industry to regulate their council. You're amazing. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for the input. Let's hope it leads to something good for all

I'd really like it to be retroactive first. Maybe that's just me.

Kim MacAskill @kimmacaskill.bsky.social · 28/04/2025

And again their contracts don't even mention adaptation. Can you see the concern ?

Kim MacAskill @kimmacaskill.bsky.social · 28/04/2025

Which is what we're trying to change ...

Kim MacAskill @kimmacaskill.bsky.social · 28/04/2025

*some authors are paid upfront. Established ones. For clarity.

000

Kim MacAskill @kimmacaskill.bsky.social · 28/04/2025

But adaptations still honour them It's the same for tv writers, poets and short stories. Why should game IP creators who write these stories be different?

100

Kim MacAskill @kimmacaskill.bsky.social · 28/04/2025

As far as I'm aware the contract at the time didn't include adaptations and I'm talking to the people behind it. We have to remember this was a time before the transmedia hot trend we have now. Even if it did, why should they be treated differently to authors? Authors are paid upfront by publishers?

200

Kim MacAskill @kimmacaskill.bsky.social · 28/04/2025

This is all tied in. The union recognize its not fair but their hands are tied unless contracts change. The creators have also said their piece.

Please share. The creators of Until Dawn were not credited in the movie because Game IP creators and writers aren't given the same rights as authors etc. The game is iconic and studied by thousands...but Sony denied their names any merit. Please help us by signing. www.change.org/p/credit-the...

We need actual authorities on this and Valve ...see attached. Whatever philosophy you're hiding behind, please pull your arse out of it. #valve #kierstarmer #watchdog

The game itself weirdly isn't my issue (and it should be). The game and the devs are small, pathetic and pitiful. Here's my big issue. Why was this content legal to create in the first place? Why can't we identify these devs and why can't they be held accountable?

000

Kim MacAskill @kimmacaskill.bsky.social · 10/04/2025

And then what? Kids? Animals? The creator for No Mercy is American and has a patreon on which they are still collecting donations for what they made. Are the FBI doing anything? This game was available to children and adults and encouraged players to rape and torture their own family members.

Kim MacAskill @kimmacaskill.bsky.social · 10/04/2025

To Valve, Steam and every other platform that doesn't feel it's right to moderate what goes on their platform. Allow me to remind you of the greatest show of all time (see attached). If it isn't games about incest and raping women today, it'll be torturing black people, Jewish people tomorrow...

If cinema was a party, the Jurassic Park franchise would be the fake tan, twice divorced, ‘no longer convincingly silver’ fox trying to impress you in the kitchen by telling you about how much he enjoys quad biking.

Scarlett Johanson and whoever that other guy is, looking the requisite level of awestruck and alarmed in some tall grass

For anyone who needs reminded of that time The Last Unicorn (1986) created a tree with massive tits that squeezed you between them...not because the plot needed it. Not because anyone needed it. They just put it in.

I remember my tweet went rage-viral for supporting Cyberpunk. It's a game that's still adored today. People just wanted to jump on a war-wagon but as time proved, the game spoke for itself in the end. Don't listen to the internet. #gamedev #cyberpunk #cdredprojekt #twitter

My toxic trait in the video games industry is confidently coming up with new terminology when I'm stuck and watching it get repeated to me by a different company years later. #gamedev
