I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

Are there any new indie horror games that people have been playing lately they'd like to recommend?

Sometimes the hardest thing about code is realising when to let go. To kill it. Start fresh.
Everytime I restart a system I kick myself for not doing it sooner!
Clearly we love to code for the thrill.

Trying to explain to my mum when I've had a long week at work with a bug that I spent days debugging for it to then be the smallest of fixes and the feelings it invokes within me as her daughter 😆🫠

BY THE WAY I've heard some exceptionally good things about Mythmatch. Like, 'it's a game you pick up for 20 mins and accidentally play for 10 hours straight' sort of good. I don't think it looks like that sort of thing, but it is.
Also Moo is one of the best people on the planet, so go wishlist it.
