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.

In the country where I was born, for a while we had bottles of water (just water!) labeled GMO FREE. Not so far from gluten-free meat.

Dwarf and cats, very valid game categories!

I am very triangular this year!

I feel like it's time to make a hashtag for this, like #linebreaksgobrrr

[RU] Ночь живых мертвецов by GilShrewmouse Night of the Living Dead: Russian subtitles for LocJAM Horror Movie. Play in your browser

Voila, my entry for the horror movie #locjam - gilshrewmouse.itch.i...
And I'm especially happy because it's the third LocJAM project I finished and didn't give up halfway ~(￣▽￣)~*

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.

Bad things today: On the screenshots (#SilentHill!)

Good things today: *vtt to *srt to memoq, and started my #locjam Horror Movie work

Rhyme not intended, but appreciated.

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.

"#QA? It's a simple resize, what could possibly go wrong?" - the famous (unfortunately not last) words

How I Found A 55 Year Old Bug In The First Lunar Lander Game Just months after Neil Armstrong's historic moonwalk, Jim Storer, a Lexington High School student in Massachusetts, wrote the first Lunar Landing game. By 1973, it had become "by far and away the sing...

Read about Lunar Lander in 50 Years of Text Games by Aaron A. Reed (called there ROCKET per the file name). Fascinating stuff! martincmartin.com/2024/06/14/h...

I still have hope 🥲

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 🥲

[RU] Времени предостаточно by GilShrewmouse Not Enough Time: Russian localization for LocJAM 6

My very first jam! #LocJam6, to be exact. It was fun~ And I'm pretty proud of myself and the fact that I finished it and even wrote a whole post about it!

My entry: gilshrewmouse.itch.i...
And my "post-mortem": itch.io/t/3677250/lo...

Nice week in #GenshinImpact - every obtainable achievement and 36 stars in the Spiral Abyss for the first time!

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!

Red Lake, Cyprus

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 🤔

#LocJAM6 #localization

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. 🫠.
I need a vacation.

A colleague of mine suggested almost the same thing!

We're sorry to inform you that we're unable to invite you for an interview at this moment for [reasons explicitly expressing the company's utter lack of interest in hiring an AI].

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

As for Russian #localization, there is the astronomical term "сизигия", but the word itself (συζυγία/σύζυγος) means "сопряжение". The latter sounds more familiar to a wider player base, so the choice is understandable.

And also during a new and full moon, of course, which more accurately describes the time when the Abyss is reset.
