Capcom feels like a company where shitty mistakes only happen 'cuz of existential obligation.
Like, they're so excellent for so long, it kinda feels like perfection sometimes.
But then: 'wait being perfect is bad!' ...and a stupid fuckup poofs outta thin air just because "nothing can be flawless".
A broken, blue heart
With a broken Blue Bomber heart, I am no longer the voice of Mega Man.
I was asked to return for Mega Man: Dual Override, but only on the condition I work without the protections of a union contract.
This is the kind of condition they can take now that theyβre able to pit non-union labor *AND* AI against traditional talent. It is not good for anyone weβre devaluing labor and skill and workerβs rights at this pace.
The only way to enforce non-union contracts like this involves personally taking giant companies like Capcom to court and suing if I thought they'd used AI. I don't have the mental, emotional, or monetary strength to survive a protracted legal fight.
I truly wish Capcom was at least willing to speak with SAG-AFTRA about doing this game union.
I expressed that I'd even be willing to work on a LOWER-budget union contract if it meant this flipped.
It genuinely wasn't about the money for me.
Did a double take when I saw this email.
For what this means, it's basically that the client began the process to make it a union game, alerting its cast that it would be union, but then did not actually complete the process to do so.
These notices can be rescinded should everything be fixed.
UPDATE!!! 62%!!!!
WEβRE SUPER DUPER CLOSE!!!!
AND ROOOOOUGHLY two weeks out to the event!

To this day I am still absolutely amazed they got away with this π€£ makes me laugh every time I see it
Scene from Batman Brave and the Bold
Remember in Batman the Brave and The Bold, we got a scene of Platinum of the Metal Men wanted Batman to sit on her face... yes, this was a show for children and adult jokes work in it
Hor to turn off DMs in Bluesky
Here is an FYI. I've noticed many people put "no DMs" in their bio and in case you didn't know, there is a way to turn them off completely in the DM tab.
Instead of putting in your bio, if you don't want DMs, just turn them off. #Canada #fortheboomers
Popularism is a failed, reactionary project that seeks to uphold power on the pain of the vulnerable.
We need a better, counter-project.

Jeff Shell spilling the beans could mean trouble for PSKY. Take all this with a grain of salt.
Sadly what I expected from Capcom.
Mega Man 11 was a Union game, and had a Union contract and all its protections.
This means at some point Capcom actively chose to go back on a standard that had already been set and go BACK to NU (with no ENFORCEABLE protections).
Ben did not give this role up willingly. Heβs trying to protect VO.
If youβre a fan/consumer, I implore you to think about why a company that already agreed to SAG-AFTRAβs reasonable requests would suddenly opt to not want to adhere to them anymore.
If youβre a fellow actor - please think very, very carefully about what this means if you choose to audition for it.

Mega Man voice actor Ben Diskin has announced he won't reprise his role in Dual Override. According to him, Capcom wouldn't offer him a union contract for the job. gameinformer.com/2026/03/10/m...
This is the line they think will get you until you ask them what happens if they break their promise.
Hey fellow scientists, I'm just letting you know that if you're promoting something with some junky AI image, I'm not gonna click. You've got a workshop, a conference, a new paper?
Just not gonna bother. You want a bespoke image? Hire an illustrator.

Tweet from Aaron Rupar quoting a CNN interview where Jake Tapper says voting against $50 billion for Iran war funding would be framed as voting against the troops, and Senator Chris Murphy responds that supporting the troops means voting against the war to keep them out of harmβs way. A screenshot shows Murphy speaking on CNNβs State of the Union.
Indeed!
I know calling reps is very nerve racking. You're not sure what's the right thing to say, and tbh having a script thrown at me makes things just as nerve racking.
I called today, and I figured I'd write up a transcript of how my call went down. Hopefully it helps demystify the process
