I spent a lot of time soaking in the Canadian locations in #WolverinePS5. AAA games almost never feature Canada this prominently, so kudos to Canadian art director Gavin Goulden and the rest of @insomniac.games for putting in all of this love. 🇨🇦 (These are spoiler-free and from early game.)

I think Hunter S. Thompson's column in the immediate aftermath pretty much nailed it www.espn.com/espn/page2/s...

The towers are gone now, reduced to bloody rubble, along with all hopes for Peace in Our Time, in the United States or any other country. Make no mistake about it: We are At War now -- with somebody -- and we will stay At War with that mysterious Enemy for the rest of our lives.

It will be a Religious War, a sort of Christian Jihad, fueled by religious hatred and led by merciless fanatics on both sides. It will be guerilla warfare on a global scale, with no front lines and no identifiable enemy. Osama bin Laden may be a primitive "figurehead" -- or even dead, for all we know -- but whoever put those All-American jet planes loaded with All-American fuel into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon did it with chilling precision and accuracy. The second one was a dead-on bullseye. Straight into the middle of the skyscraper.

This is going to be a very expensive war, and Victory is not guaranteed -- for anyone, and certainly not for anyone as baffled as George W. Bush. All he knows is that his father started the war a long time ago, and that he, the goofy child-President, has been chosen by Fate and the global Oil industry to finish it Now. He will declare a National Security Emergency and clamp down Hard on Everybody, no matter where they live or why. If the guilty won't hold up their hands and confess, he and the Generals will ferret them out by force.

Good luck. He is in for a profoundly difficult job -- armed as he is with no credible Military Intelligence, no witnesses and only the ghost of Bin Laden to blame for the tragedy.
OK. It is 24 hours later now, and we are not getting much information about the Five Ws of this thing.

The numbers out of the Pentagon are baffling, as if Military Censorship has already been imposed on the media. It is ominous. The only news on TV comes from weeping victims and ignorant speculators.

The lid is on. Loose Lips Sink Ships. Don't say anything that might give aid to The Enemy.

working w/ ai translation is an actual waste of time. it will never translate in-game terminology properly, which means combing through all of the text two or three more times checking context and terms which already adds to expected crunch. and you can always tell when it's being used.

blizzard workers' union contract includes "really strong" layoff protections, recall rights, just cause protections, hybrid work, AI protections, and a salary floor aftermath.site/blizzard-union-contract-warcraft-overwatch-diablo

That includes a bare minimum of four weeks of severance plus an additional week for every six months an employee has worked at Blizzard, up to a maximum of 39 weeks. The unions also won something those at other studios, like Zenimax, bargained for following previous layoffs: recall rights. Blizzard’s, however, are more expansive.
“It's not just recall rights into your unit; it's recall rights into any job that you would be qualified for,” said Cox. “So if WoW has a bunch of layoffs, but Diablo doesn't, and Diablo is looking to expand, the folks who are laid off from WoW can get recalled into Diablo if they're qualified, which has definitely never happened in our industry before, and is very rare to see just in general. So we are really excited about that.”
All unionized units under Blizzard qualify for recall rights, which span 14 months.
“14 months from the layoff, you can be recalled into an open position that you're qualified for,” said Veneto. “This is kind of common in other parts of the unionized world, but we believe this is a first for the tech industry to have recall rights like these.”
