Translator (game loc). Way too many hobbies, way too many books in my TBR. Tea lover. Keep me away from archives or hand over those handwritten records you can't read, your choice. Might give up on my carreer someday and become a librarian. 🇧🇷🇦🇷

My social network ecochamber in a nutshell:

books, languages, translation, random crafts, supporting the Gnomes even in times of peace, bog-haggery, cat-related shit-posting, games, frens, anything the color of that which runs through my veins, minipainting, the occasional news.

tbh a lot of the LLM marketing makes more sense if you think about them as a technology developed and hyped by people taught to read this way, and who therefore do genuinely struggle to read or write at their email jobs

Cada dia é uma surpresa.

Fui doar uns casacos na igreja católica aqui do lado. Chego lá, portas trancadas. Ofereço os casacos e, além de não aceitarem nada além de comida, não sabiam nem me dizer onde aceitariam. Tipo... o.O

Acho muito estranho ver as crianças daqui sendo muito boazinhas. Tipo, tem umas crianças menos amigáveis, mas no geral, elas são muito de boa e, inclusive, pacientes com as menores.
Não sei dizer se é cultural ou se eu que cresci cercada de crianças mimadas e simplesmente malvadas — tipo, violentas.

I mean, they are *paying* for it. I can't comprehend paying for slop.
As a translator, I feel like that is a stupid CEO type of decision — everything is a number, but the only important number is whate we show the shareholders.
As a gamer, I feel disrespected. We are **also** paying for this shit.
i am so, so tired of the concept of a "perfectely serviceable" localization. we, as a society, should stop settling for "well, it's understandable so it's good enough" when the bar could be so, so much higher.

it's hard, HARD work and i would never discredit that, because i know how tough it is

This is why you don’t use AI assets in your game or marketing: it makes you look lazy and shows you really don’t care.

I got an “AI girl teaches you Japanese” ad recently… who said “私と一緒にはなななします”.

It’s all slop, looking for a quick buck.

Nesse contexto, toda acusação é uma confissão.
Los pijos tienen médicos que les dan de baja cuando ellos quieren. Por eso se creen que cuando a ti te dá la baja un médico "te la coges como si fuesen vacaciones"

Amei um post lá, mas junto ao calorzinho no peito, brotou uma dúvida angustiante: os dedos vão cair da mão do anglófono safado se usar a porra do IPA?

Boh. Peguei o feijão que sobrou da semana e um chorizo espanhol, e olha... Fiz um feijão refrito de lamber a panela.

Socorro.

A cara de pau do povo que compra duas folhas de massa sucrèe e uma lata de compota de fruta em xarope de glucose, mete tudo no forno e 1)diz que fez 2)"torta".

A maior mentira deste país é a torta de maçã/cereja.

Credo. Bolo de pote rainha, serião.

Na primavera, a gente plantou sementes locais q deram várias flores diferentes, mas uma das plantas q mais brotaram não tava dando flor nenhuma.
O outono começou, e eu decidi cortar, pq essas sem-flor ficaram desbeiçadas. Mas tive q esperar por causa de chuvas.
Pois bem, as cretinas floriram agora.

Picture this exact scenario, but it started happening a decade ago and now every agency you work with won't shut up about you taking more time for less pay to correct their magic machine's mistakes and you'll have just the slightest idea what your games' localizers have put up with this whole time.

Quase comprando assinatura desses apps de novela de tiktok/ig.
As narrativas, os efeitos, os figurinos e as atuações são tão, mas tão ruins que chegam a dar a volta no melhor estilo daqueles filmes antigos de terror de baixo orçamento. Nyahahaha!
O entretenimento é 100% rir da desgraça que são.
