Played Disc Creatures for a bit, it is an old-school Pokemon game, perhaps too old school. I am not fond of the fact that the default Steam screenshot button (F12) is used to reset the game.

Raven Software QA workers unionize within Activision Blizzard
https://www.polygon.com/22894041/call-of-duty-warzone-raven-software-union-activision-blizzard
Quality assurance workers at Raven Software, a subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, are unionizing with the Communication Workers of America (CWA). The group, called Game Workers Alliance, is the first group of workers to form a unit under Activision Blizzard. Workers are asking the company to voluntarily recognize the union, which has the support of the “supermajority” of Raven Software QA workers — 78% of the eligible workers, a CWA representative told Polygon.
>>This is wrong or rather highly inaccurate.
Not quite accurate. Per the article contents, a union has not yet been recognized. I would not expect such recognition to come voluntarily from ABK (though you never know). But an election could be in the offing. https://t.co/TbJyaayxjr

Over the weekend, a crypto enthusiast group managed to win an auction for a rare 1975 Dune book created by Alejandro Jodorowsky as part of a failed film pitch. The book was expected to be sold for around €25,000. However, the NFT group ramped up the auction to buy the book for €2.66 million; the equivalent of $3.04 million.
>>Yes they bought a book thinking it gives them ownership of the copyright. They also plan to scan the pages, turn them into NFTs and then burn the book to drive up the price of the NFTs.
