I reviewed Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition - Switch 2 Edition for @nintendolife.com 🎉

Honestly, it was a blast revisiting this fantastic title, and it runs flawlessly. I just wish the visuals and those promised Switch 2 perks were equally as impressive.

Our rescue dog has spent the last six months being quite reserved, but ever since fireworks season, she barks at absolutely anything making noise on our street or the next

The other day I farted in my chair and it set her off, I'm losing my mind

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".

PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made.

Look I don't like generative AI, but if you are a busy professional and you tell me it saves you time? Fine

You're a scientist and it helps with research? Fine

BUT, if you use AI to make MUSIC, one of the most human things possible, I genuinely think you might not have a soul

I just can't stop thinking about this

We've become significantly closer to Miyamoto listening to Oneohtrix Point Never, and that is breaking my brain

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.

Was great to hear the dulcet tones of @alexolney.co.uk on the NVC podcast this week over at @ign.com !

I think that was the first time anyone has ever said the word 'git' on that show? Also, @loganjplant.bsky.social continues to be a fantastic host. The whole team is killing it atm 🔥

So not only is Square Enix going to try to replace 70% of its QA with AI, it's also apparently laying off at least 100 people (possibly significantly more) as it continues to consolidate its operations further and further:

Square Enix has announced mass layoffs today, potentially impacting over 100 individuals, alongside a broader effort to consolidate its publishing organization and focus its development work in Japan.

What's the bet we get Half Life 3 before GTA 6?
November 7, 2025 at 9:31 AM
Square Enix saying it wants to automate jobs with AI and then sweeping layoffs

Rockstar using a delay (it definitely already knew internally) to distract from union busting

Rough stuff!
