The influx of new followers reminded me that I never did an intro post, so here you go:

- Love weird and creepy things and it shows in my latest works: CONTROL, Returnal
- Hobbies: LARP, TTRPG
- I rarely do original skeets (ugh, the word!), mostly reskeeting.

Like, you could write an entire book length case study in "ways Roblox completely fails at Trust and Safety". I advise every parent I know to get their kids the fuck off Roblox, or at the very least, directly monitor who's contacting them and what they're playing *extremely* closely.

Folks, if you haven’t looked up “Liz England Door Problem” I beseeeech you to do so.
So in Arc Raiders there is a door glitch. You don't need to know what it is, just that the gamers are brainstorming all the "easy" ways to "fix" the doors and it's simultaneously hilarious and horrifying. My two favorite solutions are "add a kill volume" and "put a second door behind the door".

Joulu tulee, mutta kaikilla ei ole siihen varaa. Haastan sut lahjoittamaan johonkin joulukeräykseen omien mahdollisuuksiesi mukaan, että vähävaraisetkin voivat viettää joulunaikaa.
Laitan kommentteihin esimerkkejä lahjoitusmahdollisuuksista, näiden lisäksi on varmasti muitakin kohteita.
Kiitos!

The Game Awards not paying for Future Class members' *coffee order* is fucking batshit, and it is far from the worst thing in this thread.
marginalised developers are among the poorest in the industry, but were expected to pay for their own tickets to their token inductions (not even talking travel+accom)

Because SE's QA people are probably not in a position to defend themselves and their jobs in public, I want to spell out some of what it is they specifically do for us localizers, because nothing I've written here is rhetorical. SE QA acts as a final check on our work after translation and editing.
You don't need me to tell you this is yet more good money being burned after bad. But as someone who's worked with that QA team, I'll say they're unsung heroes who truly play a huge role in maintaining SE's reputation for high quality locs and to attempt to replace them with AI is deeply insulting.
Square Enix wants 70% of its QA work to be handled by generative AI by the end of 2027, in partnership with the University of Tokyo's Matsuo-Iwasawa Laboratory. https://bit.ly/4qKdyQR

If you're looking for a new book series to pick up try Discworld.
~40 books.
Most have 3 layers to them: serious social commentary on today's issues (gun reform, gender equality, racism) and parody as a glue, tongue in cheek stuff, and the in-world narrative, the plot.

Rapidly going through the ~40 Discworld novels and an early one has this line, "welcome to [city] we have more pronouns here."
Pratchett wasn't just prolific; he was very ahead of his time.
Keep in mind, we got gay marriage barely more than 10 years ago, this book was more than 30 years ago.

A lot of the business failures of the games industry are really rooted in this desire to create a product that dominates the market. The recent Amazon thing really highlights that: they wanted to create a product that outperformed Steam, but they didn't understand Steam or what the audience wanted.
