Title: The Dad Directive Passage: Deuteronomy 6:1-12 Speaker: Sam Cassese Date: June 21st 2026 Most dads know the feeling. You wonder if you're spending enough time, making the right decisions, or giving your kids what they need most. This Father's Day, we'll look at God's ancient blueprint for fatherhood and discover a calling that is both simpler and more significant than many of us realize. In a world obsessed with leaving behind wealth, experiences, and opportunities, God invites fathers to pass on something that can impact generations. Join us as we uncover The Dad Directive.

Er Supermassive Games tilbage? Directive 8020 er et interaktivt survival horror-spil udviklet og udgivet af Supermassive Games.Supermassive Games kom på landkortet med Until Dawn fra 2015. Et spil, der udkom eksklusivt til PlayStation 4, og som var inspireret af klassiske slasherfilm.Men på trods af succesen med Until Dawn fortsatte de ikke samarbejdet med Sony. De tog, hvad de havde lært, slog sig sammen med Bandai Namco og lavede, hvad de kaldte The Dark Pictures Anthology. En serie af korte spil, som foregik i forskellige gyser-subgenrer. Her har de lavet Man of Medan fra 2019, Little Hope fra 2020, House of Ashes fra 2021 og The Devil in Me fra 2022.Directive 8020 er det femte spil i denne serie. Men spillet er lavet uden udgiveren Bandai Namco. For i 2022 købte danske Nordisk Film Supermassive Games. Directive 8020 er det første reelle spil, der er udviklet under Nordisk Films paraply, og nu skal vi se, om den danske virksomhed får noget for pengene med Directive 8020.For god ordens skyld skal det siges, at Supermassive Games også udviklede Little Nightmares II med Bandai Namco som udgiver i 2021, The Quarry fra 2022 med 2K som udgiver og The Casting of Frank Stone fra 2024 med Dead by Daylight-udgiveren Behaviour Interactive.Som man kan høre, har Supermassive Games været meget produktive. For produktive måske? For ifølge mange fans og anmeldere har det været kvantitet frem for kvalitet, og spørgsmålet er, om de kan lave et comeback med Directive 8020. Et spil, som har fået længere udviklingstid end noget andet spil, de har lavet i mange år.Er Directive 8020 din tid værd? Alt det og meget mere skal vi tale om nu.I denne episode deltager Melina "MinnaMumi" Jellesmark, Lasse Rasmussen og Morten Urup.Tusind tak fordi du lytter med.

For the last three years, organizations across Europe have been preparing for the biggest shift in pay transparency and pay equity regulation in a generation. The EU Pay Transparency Directive promised to reshape how employers think about compensation — from pay structures and job architecture to reporting obligations and how employees access pay information. Now, the transposition deadline has arrived. And the picture is... complicated. Some countries met the deadline. Many didn't. What's emerged is a patchwork of requirements across member states — some with finalized legislation, others still working through it. Employers are left interpreting new guidance, confronting practical challenges around job evaluation, data governance, and pay reporting, and figuring out how to communicate all of this to their workforce. So what should employers actually be doing right now? We've brought together an expert panel today to cut through the noise. In this episode of Comp and Coffee, Ruth Thomas is joined by pay transparency experts Vicky Peakman, Founder of Fair Pay Partners, David Lorimer – Partner, Lewis Silkin, and Tom Heys, Pay Reporting Lead at Lewis Silkin.

CISA's BOD 26-04 replaces severity-based patching with an exploit-evidence model and remediation clocks as short as three days, fleet-wide, no exceptions. Peter Pflaster and Jason Kikta unpack the four urgency signals, the 16-row decision tree, and the shift from "justify the patch" to "justify why you can't." They also cover what it means for contractors, cyber insurance, and the future of Patch Tuesday. If you own patching or vulnerability management, start here.

SD Worx Ireland, a leading payroll and HR solutions provider, has announced the results of new research which found that almost a quarter (22%) of employees in Ireland believe that their pay does not fairly reflect the work that they do. However, a far lower proportion (11%) of employers admit that they do not adequately compensate employees. Independent research from SD Worx, carried out by iVOX, surveyed 1,000 employees and 301 employers in Ireland as the deadline to transpose the EU Pay Transparency Directive into Irish law approaches on 7th June 2026. Under the new rules, employers will be required to adopt much stricter pay transparency, equal pay, and reporting practices. However, the Government has confirmed that Ireland will not meet this deadline to pass the Directive into national law. SD Worx's research shows that as the Directive approaches, some employers still have work to do; 24% of employees say they received a promotion without a pay increase last year. Meanwhile, employees admit that they can struggle to speak up about their entitlements. Less than half (45%) of workers feel comfortable discussing, or asking for, a pay increase. Of these, women (37%) are less likely thanmen (52%) to feel comfortable requesting a pay rise. The study found that, in many cases, employees do not know what their payment rights are and nearly a third (30%) are unaware of the EU Pay Transparency Directive or what it means for their rights. However, the majority of organisations in Ireland report that they are ready for its introduction. Some 68% say they have everything in place to comply with the new Directive, suggesting a lack of communication with their employees. As they prepare for the Directive, 69% of employers in Ireland – the highest proportion in Europe – say they are investing in greater pay transparency and 58% regularly review pay data to identify and address potential pay gaps. Nearly a quarter (23%) rank pay transparency initiatives such as pay gap analysis, clear payslips, and gaining employee insights among their top priorities for 2026. Many organisations are already making headway, with 24% of employers saying they currently offer pay transparency information such as pay ranges and salary bands to employees. Even so, one-in-10 Irish employees do not expect their organisation's pay transparency to improve in the coming years and 28% believe that there is a gender pay gap in their organisation. Eimear Byrne, Managing Director, SD Worx Ireland, said: "It's clear from our research that many employees in Ireland feel undervalued for the work that they put in, but are afraid to ask for what they are entitled to. The rollout of the EU Pay Transparency Directive should support employees in this regard by making conversations about pay increases easier, due to more transparent pay ranges. It's vital that workers feel encouraged and adequately recognised and rewarded in order to build a workforce that's motivated, productive, and engaged. "Not only this, but it will enable businesses to remain competitive in a crowded jobs market. Pay equity and transparency are playing an increasingly important role in attracting and retaining talent and, indeed, 73% of employees cited pay transparency as an important part of their decision to stay with or join an organisation. "Meanwhile, pay appears high on the agenda for employers too. Though Ireland will not meet the deadline to transpose the upcoming Directive into law, encouragingly, that hasn't stopped businesses from putting measures and processes in place to adhere to the new rules. However, it's concerning that a large proportion of employees do not know how the Directive will affect them, and communication from employers will be key to ensuring clarity and openness when it comes to payment rights."

Hey, everybody! Tim, Kristen, and O'Dell are back this week to discuss late-game Saros (no spoilers), adventuring in LEGO Gotham City, and the sci-fi thrills of Directive 8020. Teammate Jim Eldin also joins for a special interview with Saros Composer Sam Slater.
All the fun and insight of GameFace in 1/3 of the time! Reviews of Forza Horizon 6, Subnautica 2, and Directive 8020! Plus, PlayStation officially leaves PC, remakes of Halo 2 and Halo 3 are on the way, and much more!
Cette semaine, nous commençons par prendre le temps pour expliquer la crise que traverse le studio français Quantic Dream. Il vient en effet d'annoncer la fin de son jeu service lancé en février, Spellcaster Chronicles, après huit ans de développement compliqué et un public quasi inexistant au lancement. Dans le même temps, la direction a présenté en CSE un plan de licenciements touchant 95 postes, 30 personnes étant déjà sur le départ à Montréal. Nous avons échangé avec des membres du syndicat STJV qui nous ont expliqué les raisons de ce naufrage. Côté jeux vidéo, on commence avec le nouveau titre du studio Supermassive Games qui continue d'explorer les jeux narratifs horrifiques avec Directive 8020. Si l'utilisation de tous les clichés du récit d'épouvante dans l'espace peut séduire, Supermassive se perd en rajoutant une surcouche contre productive d'infiltration. On continue avec le bijou nostalgique signé Beethoven and Dinosaur, Mixtape, qui met en jeu avec brio la bande originale de la fin de l'adolescence. On termine avec le jeu inclassable du moment, Forbidden Solitaire, qui revisite le classique des années Windows 95 dans une ambiance étrangement opressante.Jérémie Kletzkine, dans sa chronique jeux de société, nous parle des Derniers Droïdes.Chapitres :0:00 Intro4:03 Les news11:40 Plan de licenciements chez Quantic Dream36:01 Le com des coms40:26 Directive 80201:07:00 La chronique jeux de société : Les Derniers Droïdes1:12:20 Mixtape1:41:51 La minute culturelle1:48:38 Forbidden Solitaire2:07:33 Et quand vous ne jouez pas, vous faites quoi ?Retrouvez toutes les chroniques de jérémie dans le podcast dédié Silence on Joue !

This week, the internet did what it always does: took something good, something that clearly resonated with real people, and turned it into a battlefield. We're talking about Mixtape — the new game from Beethoven & Dinosaur and Annapurna — and why the so-called "controversy" surrounding it tells you more about gaming culture than it does about the actual game.Because let's be honest: a 2-to-3 hour game with a 95 Metascore on Xbox, thousands of positive Steam reviews, and music from Devo, Joy Division, and the Smashing Pumpkins doesn't NEED the internet's permission to be good. But here we are. We're going to talk about why these faux controversies keep popping up, what they say about who gaming makes room for, and why some people just cannot stand it when a game dares to be an emotional experience without a fail state.Then we get into Saros — Housemarque's spiritual successor to Returnal — and yeah, we have THOUGHTS. Arjun Devraj, Rahul Kohli going absolutely OFF in this performance, cosmic horror on planet Carcosa, and a roguelite loop that somehow got MORE accessible without losing the teeth that made Returnal special. Is it better than Returnal? That's a conversation we need to have.We also sat down with Directive 8020 — the newest entry in Supermassive's Dark Pictures Anthology — which takes the series to space and has y'all fighting alien mimics in the void. Alien meets The Thing in video game form? The story and the Turning Points mechanic are genuinely doing something. The stealth sections though… we'll talk about it.And to close it out: Double Fine — Tim Schafer's legendary studio, makers of Psychonauts and the recently released Kiln — has filed a petition to unionize with the CWA. 42 workers. Microsoft taking a neutral stance. This is big, and it's part of a larger wave rolling through the industry. Workers deserve protection, and this moment matters. We're gonna break it all down.Let's get into it.Twitter/X — https://twitter.com/spawnonmeInstagram — https://instagram.com/spawnonmeYouTube — https://youtube.com/@spawnonmeTwitch — https://twitch.tv/spawnonmeSpotify — https://open.spotify.com/show/spawnonmeApple Podcasts — https://podcasts.apple.com/spawnonme
