Bom, uma ideia que vinha me comendo espaço no cérebro desde o ano passado finalmente saiu do papel: comecei uma newsletter sobre tradução de videogame.

element of ending scene only made clear by an illustration in a postcard handed out at TGS. there was a sample of the illustration online but the actual postcard had a subtle but crucial difference (iykyk)
After "film trilogy that dropped a critical plot point exclusively via timed Fortnite event" and "video game series whose story only makes sense if you're aware of the events of a canon pachinko machine", I feel like there are whole frontiers of user-hostile narrative design waiting to be explored.

ngl, it took me a while to realize that the Ys series has this name because it's based on the mythical French city of Ys, but more than that, the world map is roughly the map of Europe and North Africa, and the first few games happen in the place where the real-world Ys supposedly existed.

Smol leadership rant: When you focus in on the results being the only thing that matters, you open the door for some truly terrible behaviour along the way. How you get those results should matter as well. Are you okay with burning everyone out? At potentially having a big PR scandal? It matters.

I'll have this video ready if someone ever asks me why I wanted to leave Brazil and why I'm not that happy about going back.
The reality in the country is that if you're kicked down financially for some reason, getting back up can be very hard.

Pô, agora que eu vi que o esquiador brasileiro na verdade nasceu e cresceu na Noruega e trocou o país que representa só uns anos atrás, o Brasil vencer a prova parece bem menos impressionante.

psst, no one is struggling with this - we are trying to create singular things that resonate with a huge audience or resonate hugely with a specific audience. We "struggle" with how tech and VC funding has broken almost every creative economy we have. So thanks but no thanks

Half Life (1998) is now as old as the first ever arcade game, Computer Space (1971) was when Half Life was released.

Things are going when the apps have to take out ads and make official post explaining that that bullshit you just saw is OS-level
Unlike most apps these days, Scrivener does not use AI in any way. However, if you’re on a Mac, you may see an AI prompt.

Meio triste ver gente empolgada para trabalhar em uma empresa por causa dos jogos que aquela empresa traduziu, mas ela é meio exploradora/precarizadora e você não pode falar nada por N motivos.
Espero pelo menos que as taxas oferecidas sejam boas.

Happy birthday to the Soviet linguist Yuri Knorozov who casually deciphered the Mayan script in 1952 and got pissed when editors removed his cat as co-author on papers or cropped her out of his author headshot (the only picture of himself he even liked)

Resumindo: já tem tanta IA nas redes que, os bots que catam conteúdo para treinar, estão se retroalimentando com vídeos falhos de IA, atrapalhando a evolução.

Daí a solução seria criar uma plataforma segura para treinar a IA pq serão vídeos reais sem falhas e "alucinações"

Tchãram!!!

gamescom LATAM tá com inscrição aberta para quem quiser participar e dar palestras. Fiquei interessado, acho que pode ser uma boa oportunidade, mas é sacanagem que, fora a entrada para o evento, todos os custos são pagos pelo participante.

If somebody did this to me, my real ghost would come back to make their life miserable. Or I would rise from the grave, half-decomposed, and run around yelling "ISN'T THIS WHAT YOU WANTED" while they scream in terror.
For real, check this out. Evil.
