When I worked in loc (outsourcing) I ended up on a small project that was clearly translated with google translate or something of the like, at least for Italian. I had to retranslate the whole game because all verbs in every string used bare infinitive instead of present tense.

This Finnish guy has been teaching himself Sumerian, and sent a cuneiform tablet to the British Museum to check his progress. They just emailed him that they've sent him something in the post. I'm now thrilled and excited for a total stranger! Clay tablet mail! www.reddit.com/r/Cuneiform/...

I haven't even started playing and I'm already amazed by Star Wars Zero Company. Thank you! ❤️ I don't know why so few do it but this feels better than just picking a setting from a list without a visual reference, even if I know what kind of colourblindness I have. #accessibility #UI #games

Feels a bit too real and across all media. I've been trying to stick to GOG a bit more often. I also have an external DVD/bluray writer on its way, I've been feeling like going back to somewhat physical for a while now.

Today I finally caught up with The Red String Club, by Deconstructeam. An amazing little gem from 2018 ❤️ It's incredible how much of this has become today's present rather than a possible dystopian future.

Given how many in the industry are unemployed and the current levels of inequality across the board, I'm genuinely surprised there haven't been more Mangione-like cases yet.

I've... well... Infected a few colleagues of mine and other friends, we had a local server running on B42 unstable, I guess we'll start from scratch in August and I'm super hyped 😀

On my way back home after the System of a Down concert in Milan. It was really good, after 20 years they are still awesome on stage too. It's only sad and kinda depressing how much the themes and meaning of their songs are still so relevant and contemporary.

Welp, all of my hype and hope just died. I guess I could go look for that CD-ROM I have since I was a kid with the first one, I played a lot of it at the arcades and then got really happy when it was given for free with cereal boxes. A mix of nostalgia and really enjoying that game. sigh

I just finished watching Due Spicci (My two cents), the latest series by Zerocalcare. An emotional rollercoaster, one second laughing and the next on the verge of tears. I've been asking some of those questions to myself for quite some time and for many I yet don't have an answer. Go watch it!

Really happy I took my gf to her first ever "nerd con". Play (Bologna) focuses on TTRPGs and boardgames. She loved it ♥️ aaand I had to keep her in check from spending too much 🤣 I didn't really take pics except this AT-ST from the Star Wars larpers. Unfortunately I got sick as aoon as I got home 🥲

I'm tired as fuck. Woke up at 4:50. Still on the train to work. I caved to a bit of serotonin and made an impulse purchase, a rarity for me. Dystopia wise we're already in a cyberpunk world, further sliding into it, so I might as well embrace the aesthetics since it's only part we're missing ♥️

Everything I postpone, drop or never start, e.g.: - Run various ttrpg with different systems - Learn Japanese - Learn to play drums - Painting minis While also still playing videogames, boardgames and focusing on losing weight. As it's not for profit, does historical reenactment still count? 😋

It happened, it's my turn now. I'm in burnout. I've been soldiering on for a while but it's now too much. Among several things, having to travel 400km return several times a week to do the exact same job I could do from home is taking it's toll. I have 2 weeks of sick keave ahead of me, for now.

I'm sitting very uncomfortably on a train. I doubt this will go that far for me but I have time to waste and I can start with a freebie, maybe it will push me to rearrange the order of games I'll play next

I'm glad I did my part. To me voting is not just a right, it's a civic duty. I'm also very glad this bs of a referendum is finally over. I'm sure they'll try again but at least this one time there's no steps backwards. Ballots are still being counted but right now: YES 45,9% - NO 54,1%.

It's just this. There's no in between. Giving some benefit of the doubt, the former is possible. I've seen it way too many times, wanting to see how a "prototype" looked/felt in it's final state (not really a prototype at that point, is it?). Still, the latter is worse :|

great reporting here. basically yes DLSS 5 is running a gen AI model on the 2D output and nothing more. it doesn’t know anything about the 3D scene, textures / models / lighting / PBR other than what the model infers by looking at a frame. TL:DR, they sped up slop. youtu.be/D0EM1vKt36s?...

I wonder how far we are from going completely bust as an industry and have no studios at all on the stock market. Maybe late stage capitalism blows up as a whole before that together with the AI bubble
