and this all comes at the end of like 12-16 months of god knows what kind of expensive shit - holding people without bail, long expensive "investigations" etc ! and then ... nothing. just a pants shitting and the whole thing is put away and the end absolutely wild

when youre on a jury you can't talk about the case until the case is over, even with the other jurors, this is SUPER IMPORTANT but also DIFFICULT when you are watching the DA inexplicably and repeatedly self destruct so please imagine a full jury and 2 alternates spending 4 straight days like this

SURELY the first reaction is "this a necessary and inevitable part of running a studio this size under these conditions. We put everyone in this situation, we made decisions to create this conditions, so we did at least the bare minimum to make sure folks are prepared when its time" ? surely !!

if you have 60+ people on payroll and you get acquired by a trillion dollar company allied with the IDF and suffering from AI psychosis, SURELY "incredulity and betrayal" is the LAST possible reaction you could imagine having regarding a unionization petition

reported on something that was really difficult for a lot of people for a lot of different reasons in a lot of different ways.

In 2017 Universal wanted to start their cinematic "Dark Universe" with a Mummy movie. During the production I was chosen as background artist for a companion game, developed in just 8 months crunch. The movie wasn't just bad but considered worst movie of the year which destroyed the games sales.
