What a Horrible News Thread to Have a Curse (Triskaidekaphobia Edition)

Rockstar management did not have direct access to the server prior to October 2025, but the former workers and their legal team allege that “from at least February 2024, [Rockstar HR director] Charlie Kinloch had been receiving information from a junior employee on trade union activity inside the Server”. They claim that “over 21 months, at least 26 meetings or communications took place between Mr Kinloch and [the junior employee] concerning the Server, roughly half of them initiated by Mr Kinloch himself”.

If anyone has more executive function than a flailing mouse cursor controlled by an analog stick than they are definitely a closet authoritarian.

Diablo V in 2029. Well okay but I still haven’t finished unfogging the map in Diablo IV but whatever. Maybe I’ll play another one of these, maybe not. Diablo is so polished now it is slicker than greased owl shit, as Forrest Gump would say. It only has the illusion of friction now but it is fun to occasionally kill dozens of monsters at once for a while.

They also announced an animated Diablo series for Netflix but I don’t think that has a release date yet so it might as well be five years from now like everything else they’re announcing.

They’ve sure stuck to the same CG style for 30 years. (Maybe the ones in between are a bit different, I don’t remember now.)
