Translator (game loc). Way too many hobbies, way too many books in my TBR. Tea lover. Keep me away from archives or hand over those handwritten records you can't read, your choice. Might give up on my carreer someday and become a librarian. 🇧🇷🇦🇷

My social network ecochamber in a nutshell:

books, languages, translation, random crafts, supporting the Gnomes even in times of peace, bog-haggery, cat-related shit-posting, games, frens, anything the color of that which runs through my veins, minipainting, the occasional news.
Afe
O marketing pra sustentar o hype tá desesperado demais.

AFFEE!
É sempre a mesma coisa: eu abro o Open Syllabus pra buscar uma recomendação específica e lembro imediatamente que ODEIO (adoro) o OS.

(Pq eu esqueço o que queria e termino com meia dúzia de páginas de livros q não tenho nem tempo pra ler. AAAaaAaagh!)

Lá vou eu meter 30 dól num CD da década de 80 pq a banda sumiu das plataformas de streaming (pelo menos deste lado do charco) há uns anos.

E não posso nem reclamar pq concordo plenamente com a decisão.

que incrível. achei um tiktok duma criatura vendendo “cura holística” que diz ter passado 9 meses no BR e faz afirmações absurdas sobre nossos hábitos e que estes seriam os motivos de sermos todos bonitos e saudáveis

Ok. Já posso ir embora. Já provei o tal do peru de ação de graças *frito* no panelão... com óleo de amendoim!!!

Tem todos os problemas do peru, mas com a pele crocantinha e gostosa. E é isso. :p

Mas foi divertido.

Agora, se a decisão fosse minha, eu ia de galeto e/ou frango defumado. Mas k1k1.

Good literary translation requires understanding (language, culture, genre--on both sides of the translation) and an ability to write well. "AI" can't do that. There are no shortcuts. Treat your work and foreign language readers with the respect they deserve. You won't fool anyone with this.

A semana é ótima quando eu posso usar o meu verbo favorito no seu sentido "certo": emparedar.

A IA do Google fica tentando resumir os meus e-mails.

Ah, é? Two can play at that game.

Eu marco que tá errado e só respondo variações de "se vc não sabe ler, o problema não é meu".

tbh a lot of the LLM marketing makes more sense if you think about them as a technology developed and hyped by people taught to read this way, and who therefore do genuinely struggle to read or write at their email jobs

Cada dia é uma surpresa.

Fui doar uns casacos na igreja católica aqui do lado. Chego lá, portas trancadas. Ofereço os casacos e, além de não aceitarem nada além de comida, não sabiam nem me dizer onde aceitariam. Tipo... o.O

Acho muito estranho ver as crianças daqui sendo muito boazinhas. Tipo, tem umas crianças menos amigáveis, mas no geral, elas são muito de boa e, inclusive, pacientes com as menores.
Não sei dizer se é cultural ou se eu que cresci cercada de crianças mimadas e simplesmente malvadas — tipo, violentas.

I mean, they are *paying* for it. I can't comprehend paying for slop.
As a translator, I feel like that is a stupid CEO type of decision — everything is a number, but the only important number is whate we show the shareholders.
As a gamer, I feel disrespected. We are **also** paying for this shit.
i am so, so tired of the concept of a "perfectely serviceable" localization. we, as a society, should stop settling for "well, it's understandable so it's good enough" when the bar could be so, so much higher.

it's hard, HARD work and i would never discredit that, because i know how tough it is
