The Game Acting Strike, Anime Shortages and Light Sails For Interstellar Exploration

Nerds Amalgamated

SAG-AFTRA warn you not to believe the major games companies who claim that they're close to a deal. Instead, the union is refusing to back down without getting all the concessions they want for their members.

Anime is facing a staff shortage. This could mean lowering quality or reducing season length. Hopefully it means removing filler.

Light sails might be the best way to get to Alpha Centauri within a human lifetime. But we won't be sending humans just yet.
