I make video games and lots of art. Guinea Pigs are my favorite animals.
Love me some unhinged memes.

Working at a studio like Bethesda developers understood they were making a trade, a less competitive salary for longevity. Then Microsoft stepped in https://kotaku.com/xbox-layoffs-rallies-cwa-bethesda-employee-interview-2000725366

We've seen some questions pop up around layoffs: "well, if they were laid off, didn't that mean they weren't doing a good job? Maybe they deserved it." And on its face, that sounds logical and legitimate. Because the opposite would just be pure cruelty, right? ...Right?
...So here's the thing.

Today at HQ, we had special guests from Microsoft leadership. We refuse to let executives forget what game studios are actually made of: their workers.
As welcome gift, we placed hundreds of flags outside, honoring all of the game workers who have been laid off by Microsoft in 2026 (so far).

NEW: CWA union members have inflated a giant rat and deployed a wall of red flags representing laid off Xbox workers outside the Bethesda office in Rockville.
The protest was timed to coincide with a visit from Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, who is apparently at the studio today.

When Microsoft lays off veteran developers like Johnmichael, it's the decimation of a studio itself. This cycle of acquiring and discarding studios will continue unless we speak up. #SaveGameWorkers and tell Microsoft to end these unnecessary layoffs NOW: shorturl.at/5ruBE

I was just startled half to death by an ONION in the VEGETABLE DRAWER of my fridge.
I don't even know what else to say except that it scared me so bad I literally jumped back and yelled "AAAAAH!!!" As it approached me from the depths of the drawer.
