Hey Bluesky!
I'll lose my job in ~1 month, and I'm not eligible for any unemployment benefits. The job market in Belgium really sucks rn, so I could definitely use some work as a freelance.
If you're looking for AI-free, high quality French localisation for your indie game, I'd love to help! 👋

Remembering Wesley LePatner
I met Wesley in 1985, during the summer we both turned four. Until last Monday, our lives always seemed to run on parallel tracks.

The official Prince estate account on FB posted this an hour back. This sadly clearly means that Ezra Edelman's nine-hour documentary, which would have provided a truly all around portrait of him rather than a gloss, will never surface. And that's a damn shame.
