Greg Davies: Seems very straightforward. Pop back to Ireland, see the old homestead, don't get off the horse.
Alex Horne: You would think it's simple wouldn't you.
Oisín: OK look -
Alex Horne: Roll the clip!

"Our standing rule is: If one of us brings up using GenAI in any of our work, then it's safe to assume we've been assimilated by The Thing and should be burned alive by Kurt Russell," said a game design consultant in the US.
your vote has weight outside of election day. regardless of how you end up voting, until then you can bargain with it. the lesser evils are watching you, if you promise your vote for nothing you'll get nothing. say you wont vote for bad candidates. say you'll only vote for policies you like

Ubisoft is no more, long live Ubisoft! On January 21, 2026, Yves Guillemot announced the end of remote work, closure of several studios, cancellation of projects, and a new 200€ million “cost-cutting” plan. We were informed of this at the same time as the press — as none of these changes had been discussed during the mandatory consultations with the works councils a few days earlier! On January 26, 2026, management announced the implementation of a voluntary departure plan that will affect 200 people at Ubisoft’s headquarters. We are promised autonomy for « Creative Houses », but what about autonomy for employees? We have been negotiating for over a year on remote work policy, sometimes under difficult conditions. An agreement has been in place since September in some studios. Trampled underfoot! We are told about responsibilities, but those who wield this word so easily do not take any responsibility for the consequences of their catastrophic management.
We are not fooled: rather than taking financial responsibility for layoffs, they prefer to push us out by making our working conditions unbearable. It’s outrageous. It is because we love Ubisoft that this situation revolts us. Ubisoft’s unions are calling for a massive international strike by all Ubisoft employees on the 10th, 11th and 12th of February 2026. NO to their anti-remote-work obsession to “cost-cutting” plans on employees’ backs to top-down decisions to coercive control on our working conditions YES to our leaders truly taking their responsibilities to management’s duty of sincerity in the face of its failings It is time for our management to understand that they cannot do whatever they want, whether with public money or the work of hundreds of people! Without us, Ubisoft would never have conquered and transformed video games as it has. WE ARE UBISOFT.
🇬🇧✊🌀 Ubisoft : enough is enough! Faced with the arbitrary decision of the CEO who doesn’t even dare talking to employees anymore, unions are calling for a strike on February 10th, 11th and 12th.

Plastic Eldar Corsairs were not on my bingo card, but damn am I excited, I just finished reading the Mymeara book.
hheres the thing about AI. its for goobers
A company that needs AI to generate placeholder text is just going to edit that placeholder text and release it. Like they are not going to totally rewrite or redraw the things they've generated. The fingerprints of that environmentally destructive plagiarism machine are everywhere.
Look man I don’t think the people being poisoned by data centers really care if you remove the generated assets before shipping, and I don’t really care if you “only” use the machine that stole my shit and convinced teens to off themselves for internal PowerPoints.
Cool motive. Still bullshit tho.
Vendors once again mad at me because the hospital doesnt pay its bills.
I cant believe there is a person out there that thinks Doug Walker is better than anyone.
A screenshot of a skeleton hung in a little stone altar, labeled "Hung Skeleton," from the game Diablo 2: Resurrected
I know it's morbid but I can't help but giggle every time I see this in Diablo 2. Been this way since I played the original. I'm just like "I didn't know you could tell how big he was, from just his skeleton"
Letter to Someone Living Fifty Years from Now Most likely, you think we hated the elephant, the golden toad, the thylacine and all variations of whale harpooned or hacked into extinction. It must seem like we sought to leave you nothing but benzene, mercury, the stomachs of sea gulls rippled with jet fuel and plastic. You probably doubt that we were capable of joy, but I assure you we were. We still had the night sky back then, and like our ancestors, we admired its illuminated doodles of scorpion outlines and upside-down ladies. Absolutely, there were some forests left! Absolutely, we still had some lakes! I'm saying, it wasn't all lead paint and sulfur dioxide. There were bees back then, and they pollinated a euphoria of flowers so we might contemplate the great mysteries and finally ask, Hey guys, what's transcendence? And then all the bees were dead.
this glacier plaque plus all the poetry on the skyline reminds me of this poem

Am X post from Suella Braverman that reads: "The SAS has the support of the whole country against this shameless government of cowards and Sinn Fein sympathisers." She is quote tweeting a post from the telegraph that says, "New laws could see former soldiers hounded through courts over alleged crimes, say veterans."
Once again, we are way too relaxed about the fact that "shooting Irish people is good actually" is a mainstream political position on the neighbouring island.
I cannot stress enough that no matter what this fucking knob says about Sinn Féin, true or not, they are not in power. It does not matter how SF feel on RPZs, or if there are differences in the party. They are not in government. He is. He's the fucking Tánaiste.
A letter from President Catherine Connolly to the trans community of Ireland, wishing them "warmest wishes" on TDOR. She also marks the 10th anniversary of the GRA 2015 and "reminds us that the work of safeguarding dignity and ensuring genuine inclusion remains ongoing."
@teni.bsky.social don't seem to use their bsky account so I'm posting this over here from their facebook because people should see it: one of the first things our new President Connolly did last week was write the community a letter for TDOR 🏳️⚧️

Rolling the dice for the reveal: New cataphractii and a falchion. Maybe new charonites but im not betting on it.
this implies the existence of a Yaoi Gagarin
It might also be that the electorate yearn for keepy uppies
Billy Connolly, Catherine Connolly and James Connolly under the banner "Connolly, 3 Generations"
Yes the famous Connolly dynasty
Let's explore the Green credentials of Heather Humphreys - The woman former GP member Brian Leddin thinks should be president.
She advocated for an increased burn period during her time as Minister for Heritage, as well as prolonging the period during which hedgerows could be cut. #Spéirgorm 1/n
The government and the large farming lobby groups have opposed sustainability and instead stripped and burned the land in the name of profit and now we are seeing the cataclysmic results of that action.
