  • How does this work exactly? My familiarity with Unions is that either they’re created inside an existing company, or a union gets people to unionize at a company. The idea with both of this situations is that all the workers leaving would be detrimental for the company so the company has to give into the Union Demands to some extent.

    With my unfamiliarity with with this video game union, it seems they’ve just created one, but wouldn’t that mean that a company has to decide to hire workers from this union? My understanding with the game industry is there’s thousands of experienced people that will work for cheap, so I feel most game companies will have options vs union workers.

    Also, I hope they publish the games they are involved in so i can support them.






  • IDK if I would call any of the two elections you mentioned “rigged” as I feel people think of that word to mean direct fraud (votes changed for instance). That being said, seemingly both elections were influenced by Russian mis and disinformation campaigns which puts into question what the response should be. This are not honest elections and, thankfully for Romania, they are able to and seemingly are doing something about this campaign of influence. For the US, which I’m assuming was heavily influenced by Social Media during this last election, nothing should be done, except to make some changes moving forward.





  • If i could change time to allow Biden to run, i would do so only because Harris running in the situation that she did, didn’t work out regardless.

    But I kind of don’t think he would have won either. The debate performance plus “his bad economy” I think we’re too impactful. I think the only chance, if any, was Biden not running, and us actually having a chance to select a candidate.

    The biggest hurdle I would say is the disinformation war that reality is losing against Russia/MAGA.


  • Not domeone who has given up gaming, but I stopped gaming for a bit with the hope I would be more productive. Not long, short bursts of a couple of months. I hated it because I would still spend time doing “unproductive” things, but even worse, it felt like I wasn’t doing anything actually fun. Like, I’m scrolling on Reddit or Lemmy for like 2 hours? Sure I read quite a bit, but there’s a lot of uneducationa posts, as well as a lot of time spent scrolling because I was on it for so long that the good posts I got through quickly.

    At least with video games, I get a sense of learning, and challenging myself.
