@selmaleh.bsky.socialThank you @maxfolkman.bsky.social for being so on TOP of the GOOD THINGS in this city <33
@selmaleh.bsky.socialNo joke I really needed specifically @realgdt.bsky.social to say fuck AI, to say rage is structural, deep, motivating, creative, focusing and transformative (as someone with some abrasively salty, deadly serious takes and famous fights.)
Pan’s Labyrinth is still an exquisite treasure, go see it

@caraellison.bsky.socialReposted by @selmaleh.bsky.socialIt’s that time again where you can enter your game for recognition of excellence by a beautiful cohort of folks who know exactly how hard you worked to make your art. Please submit early so we have time to appraise your work properly! It helps us a lot.
@gameworkers.co.ukReposted by @selmaleh.bsky.socialToday marks the beginning of our trial against Rockstar to hold them accountable for firing workers who were trying to unionise. In order for us to see this through to the end, we need your support. Please donate to and share our fundraiser for the Rockstar 31:

@selmaleh.bsky.socialIt’s a bear market, see, so we don’t gotta do good, just outrun the other companies. On account’a the bear.
@lloydknott.bsky.socialReposted by @selmaleh.bsky.socialGoing dark for a few weeks due to tribunal business and to avoid over-exposure to goings on.
However in the meantime here's a fundraiser for legal fees so we can do this on as equal a footing as possible: www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/rockstar-31
@kerrblimey.bsky.socialReposted by @selmaleh.bsky.socialLast year, Rockstar was accused of firing over 30 workers for engaging in trade union activity. The studio said they were let go for leaking confidential information. The tribunal between the two parties begins today. I'll be attending and will do my best to provide updates over the coming weeks.

@papapishu.bsky.socialReposted by @selmaleh.bsky.socialHad to get some thoughts out about the beautifully done yet vexingly placeless version of Toshirō Mifune in Onimusha: Way Of The Sword for @aftermath.site
@jannouna.bsky.socialReposted by @selmaleh.bsky.socialEllen is the GREATEST to ever do it. All of the characters and charm of Young Suns comes from their work. Every time they designed a new character it was the best thing to ever happen until their next concept hit the Slack. Wildly talented and a huge sweetie!!!
@spaceellien.bsky.socialReposted by @selmaleh.bsky.socialSadly I’m one of the affected members. I love KO_OP and it’s hard to imagine working anywhere else. Manifesting that they get a pitch funded soon so that the studio can keep going strong. Please play Young Suns when it hits steam! If anyone has a concept/2d artist gig after Dec, please let me know!
@selmaleh.bsky.socialI can’t quote but if you’re seeing this hire Jenna!!! Created some of the rarest, rawest and tender-funniest moments I’ve had the honor to touch (direct) in games.
@jannouna.bsky.socialReposted by @selmaleh.bsky.socialExtremely heartbroken to say that I'm one of the affected members. Working at KO_OP for four and a half years has been one of the best things to ever happen to me and I really hope that my teammates can land a pitch that can bring us all back together again.
@selmaleh.bsky.socialExtremely happy to give you all my backend checklists and templates and stuff if you want em?!! Always let me know if you ever have Qs!!
