SAG AFTRA news update:

"SAG-AFTRA Members Who Work on Video Games Go on Strike July 25th A.I. Protections Remain the Sticking Point SAG-AFTRA National Executive Director & Chief Negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, acting under the authority delegated by the SAG-AFTRA National Board, and with the unanimous advice and counsel of the Interactive Media Agreement Negotiating Committee, called a strike of the Interactive Media Agreement, effective July 26 at 12:01 a.m. Today’s vote to strike comes after more than a year and a half of negotiations without a deal. The convenience bargaining group with whom SAG-AFTRA is negotiating includes Activision Productions Inc., Blindlight LLC, Disney Character Voices Inc., Electronic Arts Productions Inc., Formosa Interactive LLC, Insomniac Games Inc., Llama Productions LLC, Take 2 Productions Inc., VoiceWorks Productions Inc., and WB Games Inc. Any game looking to employ SAG-AFTRA talent to perform covered work must sign on to the new Tiered-Budget Independent Interactive Media Agreement, the Interim Interactive Media Agreement or the Interim Interactive Localization Agreement. These agreements offer critical A.I. protections for members. Negotiations began in October 2022 and on Sept. 24, 2023, SAG-AFTRA members approved a video game strike authorization with a 98.32% yes vote. Although agreements have been reached on many issues important to SAG-AFTRA members, the employers refuse to plainly affirm, in clear and enforceable language, that they will protect all performers covered by this contract in their A.I. language. “We’re not going to consent to a contract that allows companies to abuse A.I. to the detriment of our members. Enough is enough. When these companies get serious about offering an agreement our members can live — and work — with, we will be here, ready to negotiate,” stated SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher.   “The video game industry generates billions of dollars in profit annually. The driving force behind that success is the creative people who design and create those games. That includes the SAG-AFTRA members who bring memorable and beloved game characters to life, and they deserve and demand the same fundamental protections as performers in film, television, streaming, and music: fair compensation and the right of informed consent for the A.I. use of their faces, voices, and bodies. Frankly, it’s stunning that these video game studios haven’t learned anything from the lessons of last year - that our members can and will stand up and demand fair and equitable treatment with respect to A.I., and the public supports us in that,” said Crabtree-Ireland. “Eighteen months of negotiations have shown us that our employers are not interested in fair, reasonable A.I. protections, but rather flagrant exploitation. We refuse this paradigm – we will not leave any of our members behind, nor will we wait for sufficient protection any longer. We look forward to collaborating with teams on our Interim and Independent contracts, which provide A.I. transparency, consent and compensation to all performers, and to continuing to negotiate in good faith with this bargaining group when they are ready to join us in the world we all deserve." said Interactive Media Agreement Negotiating Committee Chair Sarah Elmaleh.  For more information and to search whether a video game is struck, please visit sagaftra.org/videogamestrike."

#QuoteOfTheDay (20230105): “Jaga pikiran kalian lebih bersih dari mata air. Laksana tetesan air yang menjadi sungai, pikiran itu membentuk karakter dan keyakinan.” (Ali bin Abi Thalib ra) Hapus pikiran dari semua hal buruk seperti putus asa, kesedihan, gelisah, insecure, dengki (hasad) dan ghil: semacam hasad namun lebih halus. Ini adalah perasaan tak suka kepada orang lain tanpa alasan lantas sampai menyebabkannya menderita batin. Padahal orang tersebut tidak melakukan keburukan maupun kejahatan kepadanya. Ingatlah segala pikiran buruk akan tercermin dalam tindakan dan mengikis kepercayaan diri dan keyakinan kita kepada Allah. Tirulah persaudaraan kaum Muhajirin dan Anshar yang saling berdoa, "Ya Tuhan kami, ampunilah kami dan saudara-saudara kami yang telah beriman lebih dahulu dari kami, dan janganlah Engkau tanamkan ghil (kedengkian) dalam hati kami terhadap orang-orang yang beriman. Ya Tuhan kami, sungguh, Engkau Maha Penyantun, Maha Penyayang."

Okay so ghilly is clearly riding on someone's trunk and a lot of people have hypothesized it's andruil, and I'm 100% down for this I love toxic Yuri. But I keep thinking about those paintings dotted around inquisition that depict ghil and dirthamen (in the form of a bear). And Now someone's pointed out how Ghil might be the OG Brood Mother. And I'm thinking about Ghil and her obsession with The Perfect Form, and she might want to be able to simply reproduce her creations without the help of someone else, without bothering with tedium of sex and pregnancy. So im wondering if she coaxed Dirth into an alliance so she could use his reproductive organs to create fucked up blighted children? 🤔

Evil God Theory part 1

Hello! I have seen theories going around about who the two baddies in the gameplay video at the end are and I just wanted to take some time and share my thoughts.

I believe our lovely little tentacle armed baddie is the goddess Andruil! Below I’ll lay out some entries and photos as to why I believe it is her.

Under cut because this is a long post!

From the wiki:

Andruil was indeed the hunter. She made great and terrible weapons: a golden bow crafted from the gathering storm and the screams of the south wind and a golden spear of unbearable heat crafted from the radiance of stars.

Have a look at this spear from the concept art. I circled it in red:

From Unreadable Elven Writing codex entry:

She shook the radiance of the stars, divided them into grains of light, then stored them in a shaft of gold. Andruil, blood and force, save us from the time this weapon is thrown. Your people pray to You. Spare us the moment we become Your sacrifice.

And from the description of the bow Andruil’s Gift:

She took the gathering storm, trapped its fury in golden limbs, and strung it with the screams of the south wind. Andruil, blood and force, your people pray to you. Grant that your eye may not fall upon us. Spare us the moment we become Your prey.

A picture of said bow but I flipped for the point of this post’s sake:

Excerpt from Elven God Andruil codex entry:

One day Andruil grew tired of hunting mortal men and beasts. She began stalking the Forgotten Ones, wicked things that thrive in the abyss. Yet even a god should not linger there, and each time she entered the void, Andruil suffered longer and longer of periods of madness after returning.

Andruil put on armor made of the void, and all forgot her true face.

This character in the photo definitely seems to be masked and would be a good reason for many to forget her face if it became a permanent fixture.

More from the same codex entry:

She made weapons of darkness, and plague ate her lands.

If that’s Andruil’s dragon/dragon form those lands certainly look plagued and blighted. At first I thought this might be the same ritual spot as the one in gameplay because the tall statues match up but this area seems different with what surrounds it (more buildings here and the ritual area itself seems flatter). Make what you will of that.

Anyway, back to Andruil being our baddie on the left. I think the headpiece resembles a bow, especially the Andruil’s gift bow. But also with her having gone to the void and if we associate void with blight, her being tentacle-like/more skeleton, is very reminiscent of these characters too:

Here’s some poor quality pictures I attempted to grab of other parts of her other than her face to showcase similar features:

But yeah, she looks kinda like a blighted mage/god thing so if it is Andruil, it would explain why she looks like some of our other chatty friends from the deep roads.

One last photo is her mosaic pulled from the Andruil Goddess of the Hunt codex entry on the wiki:

While her bow in this pic matches up better with a different statue, the lines behind her could represent her void-like tentacle appearance. This is my weakest piece of evidence for Andruil but I still think it should be here.

Anyway, this is all I have for now! I’ll be making a post on the other figure too, but separately because I maxed my limit on photos with Andruil. If you made it this far, thank you!

confirmations from the ign review:

there is a very well-done non binary character. wink wink.

the inquisitor is an important character

one of the three choices really doesn't matter (probably whether the inquisition was disbanded)

origins AND da2 character cameos -- didn't say who.

the ending was compared to mass effect 2 and described as consisting of very difficult choices (uh oh!)

9/10 :) same reviewer gave bg3 a 10/10 so i trust them.

When veilguard gets released I think someone should mod a flower crown on solas and the evanuris, actually

[mistborn-bastard]

Making tuppers for my characters for rp means i've just ended up with a bunch of cute head-shots of my characters <3

Back to Dragon Age

Any way someone pointed out that in one of the official screenshots from the da:v trailer that big ass dragon seems to have some tentacles beneath its wings?

Uh. Those things don’t show up in the trailer. There are no tentacles there. It’s just in the screenshot on the storefront.

So… that feels like a thing they edited out of the trailer which makes me Concerned

One again, Goddess Bless you Ghil

rewatching those last 30 seconds of the gameplay for the millionth time and i've noticed something about ghil that i haven't seen pointed out yet:

check out that mass of (flesh? tentacles? idk) at the bottom - in the first pic you can clearly see a hand there! and in the second- a bit harder to see because of the lighting- the entire arm and shoulder, and what looks like the rest of a torso? guys???? who the fuck is that, does she just have another body, or did she merge with someone, who? why? was it before or after the evanuris got locked away? is it another one of them? someone else? i think i need to lie down

If you want to play The Veilguard but haven't played the rest of the series and wish to know the gist of the story so far, might I recommend watching these:

Thanks Ghil Dirthalen 💕
