I'm terrible at recognizing jokes in any language, but these lines made my day!
“What is Jira?” Gibson said when I asked if they used the task-management application.

As a professional conqueror of my own ADHD, just finished the localization part of the Horror Movie #locjam.
Need to spell check, edit, and re-watch the final result... and make a project page.

Running text through AI/MT first does NOT help translators.
What does help translators and speed up translation is: CONTEXT.
- where is the text used?
- who's speaking/to who?
- if dialogue is voiced
- explanations of jokes
- character information
- string character limits

It's almost 3am, and I'm low-key pissed off because some #locjam participants used AI for their covers. I have to go to sleep now and write my post-mortem tomorrow, otherwise it will mostly be a long rant about why this is bad.

How I Found A 55 Year Old Bug In The First Lunar Lander Game

When I look at the #TranslatorsinTheCredits movement, I start to think about the same issues for QA. Many projects my team has worked on don't mention us at all. Seems it's time to add the line "And for the credits, here's the list of testers who worked on the project:" to the final report template.

Well, #Microsoft #PowerToys got an update, and Paste as Plain Text was removed, since its functionality is now part of Advanced Paste. And this Advanced Paste is "an AI powered tool" with some gimmicks I'm not interested in. Give me back my plain and simple paste tool 🥲

Apparently my bout of unexpected out-of-work-but-not-exactly activity and productivity isn't over yet, so I've made a draft of a sort of post-mortem #locjam post. I plan to post it after the submissions close!

Could it be Lake Fenfef from #LocJam6!?
(Actually, this is Red Lake, Κοκκινόλιμνη Μιτσερό. It's very acidic - there were two copper mines nearby.)

Unexpectedly, I sat down and translated the game for the current #LocJAM. And then both images with text.
Now I have to figure out how to check the final result as the game stubbornly refuses to open from my PC 🤔

So today I had to check the Alt+Enter shortkey for the project. What could go wrong, you ask? Well, I used Alt+F4 instead. Was surprised for a moment why the game closed. 🫠.

Well, this is a very strong resume. Best ChatGPT practices applied to a gamedev job search! I liked the part in parentheses the best.

Random astronomical fact from #GenshinImpact - the Spiral Abyss' rewards reset is called Moment of Syzygy/Момент сопряжения. It means the nearly straight-line configuration of three celestial bodies, like during an eclipse 👀
