see i can't tell if this is because the uk government is fundamentally zionist that nothing would stop it sharing intelligence with israel or that what the americans are doing is somehow worse than israel's genocide.

It’s a shame that GTA VI has been delayed but I’m excited by Rockstar’s promise that the extra time will allow them to give all the pedestrians in the game “a rich inner life” and “the capacity to actually experience pain”

i don’t get why, if you like the work of a known predator, do you need to keep calling the victims of that predator a liar and attacking them?
like can’t you just consume that media without acting like you have to protect the moral purity of it, or protect the creepy person that made it?

This is remarkable because Patrick and Gabriel quote Watson directly in their first book explaining how the much-vaunted but probably criminal “Labour whistleblowers” BBC Panorama bullshit came directly from him, as a stunt he personally orchestrated and forced on the public as a terrifying scandal.

perhaps the most egregious thing that happened with the Future Class was when The Game Awards took money from Old Spice in the name of the FC & simply... pocketed it
it wasn't used to fund Future Class initiatives, it wasn't used to help lift marginalised developers
they just profited from us

You don't need me to tell you this is yet more good money being burned after bad. But as someone who's worked with that QA team, I'll say they're unsung heroes who truly play a huge role in maintaining SE's reputation for high quality locs and to attempt to replace them with AI is deeply insulting.

Because SE's QA people are probably not in a position to defend themselves and their jobs in public, I want to spell out some of what it is they specifically do for us localizers, because nothing I've written here is rhetorical. SE QA acts as a final check on our work after translation and editing.
