You know what, folks? Video games are really cool.

Coffee Talk Tokyo is out now! ☕️ Once again, I had the pleasure of working on the German localization together with my dear colleagues @effeteconcrete.bsky.social and @michaelofwarlocs.bsky.social. Step into this cozy café and enjoy these heartfelt stories. ❤️ store.steampowered.com/app/3161220/...

One of the best things about working in game loc is getting to talk to other translators on the same project about our ideas, doubts and choices. It's so sad that some agencies try to prevent this by not letting translators interact with each other. Brainstorming is essential for creative work!

Marxistische Strömungen und sauschlechte Flachwitze um sie hops zu nehmen Ein Thread:

Wir arbeiten gerne für den ORF. Wir stellen aber fest: Es gibt Machtmissbrauch und Missstände, wie fragwürdige Besetzungen und einen politisch besetzten Stiftungsrat. Das muss sich ändern: Für einen ORF, der dem Publikum verpflichtet ist. Und niemandem sonst. #mituns Unsere Forderungen: mituns.net

to reiterate: DOGE killed hundreds of thousands of kids to punish some made up sluts in their heads:

Das muss die traurigste Bio sein...

"Dass ein Bundesminister aber versucht, einen ganzen multidisziplinär zusammengesetzten Forschungsverbund von immerhin drei Universitäten zu diskreditieren, ist nicht akzeptabel." Klare Worte zu Dobrindts faktenfreier Kritik, die tief blicken lässt hinsichtlich der Wertschätzung von Wissenschaft.

It makes us very proud to share that recently we reached a big milestone... Cabernet has surpassed 100,000 copies sold across all platforms! 😲 We wanted to thank every single one of our amazing players, our publisher, teammates and partners. 🖤 Here's to 100,000 more! 🍷🐍

Und das sollte man kontextualisieren damit, dass die Bundesregierung das Programm „Queer leben“ beerdigt hat. Man kürzt bei Menschen, die von Rechtsextremen angegriffen werden, sodass sie noch einmal schutzloser sind. Das sind keine „anderen Prioritäten, wie Prien es nennt, das ist bösartig.

I don't often do threads breaking down our game launches anymore, but the launch we just had for Piece by Piece was so weird and batshit We ended up with roughly x3 as many sales as we had hoped for, all due to a crazy naming coincidence

We only worked on one piece of the Piece by Piece bundle (the one developed by @nomorerobots.io) and it certainly wasn't a piece of cake (obvious lie), but we're delighted to have been a little piece of its development! Even better, both games are at piece with one another! Piece out, peeps! ✌️😁✌️

If anyone is willing the share the following, I would be so grateful! We just launched Piece by Piece on Steam 🎉🎉 It's a cozy repair shop sim, you play a woodland fox who inherits his grandfather's store. You fix up items with your hammer and paintbrush 🔨🖌️🦊 store.steampowered.com/app/3179050/...

Please stop generating fake images w/ AI to prove a point. You are not helping anyone by providing additional false images. These get fed right back into LLMs. Do NOT participate in adding MORE disinformation into the ecosystem of facts. Whether you think it is clever, funny, smart, powerful. Do Not

I can work with that.

A message for you all to carry through the year

i think the inability to tell the difference between "i don't like it" and "i don't like it so i have to figure out a way to imply this thing i don't like is morally evil" is the most fundie thing i see people who are aren't technically fundie regularly do these days

Precht insinuiert hier das Bild einer "ursprünglich proletarischen Linken" mit einem "derben und martialischen Jargon" als Gegenstück zur heutigen "akademischen" Linken. Polarisierung, Vereinfachung, historisch kontrafaktisch. Schauen wir in die Arbeiter*innengeschichte. Los geht's 1/

Rockstar accused of firing over 30 union members in 'calculated attack on workers'

This is sometimes read as "look 'AI' isn't working". But the opposite is true. _This_ is what "AI" is _for_. Push down labor power, push down wages, make employment more insecure. https://www.theregister.com/2025/10/29/forrester_ai_rehiring/

For gamers who aren't in game dev, you should know that we are in one of the worst periods in game dev history in terms of industry stability and the reason you're not seeing that play out through products is because the average development window of games is 3-7 years so it hasn't reached you yet.

RV There Yet? has cruised towards 1.3 million sales in just one week

Der Unsinn von der Zustimmung zu Merz’ Aussagen wird jetzt wirklich überall verbreitet. Es ist nicht nur extrem frustrierend, dass das ZDF das nicht korrigiert, es ist schlicht auch ein Armutszeugnis für die deutsche Medienlandschaft. Unhinterfragt weitergegeben. Man möchte einfach nicht dazulernen.

Vor einem Jahr erschien "Wut und Wertung. Warum wir über Geschmack streiten". Seitdem habe ich mit dem Buch viele schöne Erfahrungen gemacht. Ich denke/hoffe, das Thema ist nach wie vor aktuell. Zum Anlass des Jubiläums verlose ich zwei signierte Exemplare. Zum Mitmachen den Post teilen.

I’ve been in many activist spaces and conversations where people try to defend bad politics by claiming they’re common among the working class. Don’t use the working class for your support of reactionary BS. And don’t romanticize the working class as having monolithic or inherently good politics.

I still maintain there's something that really captures the imagination in the way that each image flows logically into the next but none of them add up to anything sensible. It's a waking dream, and if AI bros weren't pretending you can replace Call of Duty with it they'd see they have something

This whole section really.

A lot of people are (understandably) focused on the Saudi Arabia and Kushner part of this, but the far bigger immediate impact will come from the new private EA being on the hook for $20 billion in debt. That could mean mass layoffs, more aggressive monetization, and other big cost-cutting measures

Was mich an dieser Diskussion auch maximal nervt: Diese mahnenden Einwürfe "Dumm vom ÖRR, das hilft nur der AfD". Diskutierts doch mal genau aus, was ist denn konkret passiert, wie sahen denn die Beiträge von Ruhs genau aus, kann man das etwa sogar jenseits der Afd begründen?

Könnten alle bitte aufhören koordinierte, rechtsextreme Aktionen um Journalist:innen wie Dunja Hayali mundtot zu machen als „shit storm“ zu bezeichnen? Es ist wirklich höchste Zeit, dass Menschen die über Rechtsextremismus schreiben auch basale Dinge über Rechtsextremismus verstehen und benennen.

You ever tried to explain to a cis friend how the new harry potter tv show and audiobooks are directly funding the eradication of your human rights and trying not to sound like a mad conspiracy theorist
