Lorenzo Dow Turner (1890 – 1972) was an African-American academic and linguist.

He was the pioneer of Gullah studies, a creole language coming primarily from English and enriched with numerous Africanisms from Niger-Congo & Bantu languages.

These verification systems are such questionable methods. Most of them get breached and personal data stolen, they requested ID pictures, and worst of all, most of them are Israeli based companies (like the one used for Twitter/X verification).

Just gonna say since we're already talking about unionizing game writers: hey, maybe let us localizers in on those talks, too, because it's pretty fucking rough out there, even in AAA. I'd probably have three times as many credits if we were unionized and I'm one of the lucky ones with any at all.

We are rooting for Ubisoft's employees and fully support the strike coming next week.

As videogames workers, we need to stand united to demand and obtain better work conditions & more ethical practices overall. We can -and will- make our industry better! 💫

🇬🇧✊🌀 Ubisoft : enough is enough! Faced with the arbitrary decision of the CEO who doesn’t even dare talking to employees anymore, unions are calling for a strike on February 10th, 11th and 12th.
Ubisoft is no more, long live Ubisoft! On January 21, 2026, Yves Guillemot announced the end of remote work, closure of several studios, cancellation of projects, and a new 200€ million “cost-cutting” plan. We were informed of this at the same time as the press — as none of these changes had been discussed during the mandatory consultations with the works councils a few days earlier! On January 26, 2026, management announced the implementation of a voluntary departure plan that will affect 200 people at Ubisoft’s headquarters. We are promised autonomy for « Creative Houses », but what about autonomy for employees? We have been negotiating for over a year on remote work policy, sometimes under difficult conditions. An agreement has been in place since September in some studios. Trampled underfoot! We are told about responsibilities, but those who wield this word so easily do not take any responsibility for the consequences of their catastrophic management. We are not fooled: rather than taking financial responsibility for layoffs, they prefer to push us out by making our working conditions unbearable. It’s outrageous. It is because we love Ubisoft that this situation revolts us. Ubisoft’s unions are calling for a massive international strike by all Ubisoft employees on the 10th, 11th and 12th of February 2026. NO to their anti-remote-work obsession to “cost-cutting” plans on employees’ backs to top-down decisions to coercive control on our working conditions YES to our leaders truly taking their responsibilities to management’s duty of sincerity in the face of its failings It is time for our management to understand that they cannot do whatever they want, whether with public money or the work of hundreds of people! Without us, Ubisoft would never have conquered and transformed video games as it has. WE ARE UBISOFT.

Good news: over 50% of game devs know Gen AI is absolute sh*t.

Let's get this thing out of our industry, shall we? ✊

www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...
Over 50% of game developers now think generative AI is bad for the industry, a dramatic increase from just 2 years ago: 'I'd rather quit the industry than use generative AI'
The latest GDC survey also found that managers are more likely to use generative AI than their employees.

From the Void won't be at GDC this year.
Here's why ⬇️
mittovac.bsky.social Marc E.G. ★ Loc Madman @mittovac.bsky.social · 10d
I won't be attending #GDC this year.

Not only is it outrageously expansive (especially as a European), but the consistantly inhumane, authoritarian actions of the US government make it not only morally dubious to support an event based there, but also dangerous to travel there in the first place.

Hello indie games lovers!

Today's #SaturdayVoidRec💫 is a solo-developed pixel-art point & click and homage to the LucasArts classics. Our German translator had the pleasure of playing it in the original version – and it's just charming and hilarious all around.

10/10 would play again 🤍

Christ, this is fucking dystopian.

How about free art classes, language courses, music lessons, sport sessions, further education modules or anything other than this.

This is the antithesis of education it’s a campaign of national brain rot.

When you think the wordplay in the source text works in your translation and then you remember the source text is American, not British, changing the meaning, so you have to come up with a completely different solution.

That whole thought process is why you need a human translator.

Oh and if you were wondering, yes it does it start with not using AI for research - or for anything, really.

Another great day to quote sir Orwell:

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

Stay sharp, be brave, don't let them brainwash you.
