Tenho um cd autografado pelo Kid Vinil hahaha

(Re)descobri o nome de uma escola de luthieria em SP, mas o site/blog deles não é atualizado desde 2018. Sabe o que é atualizado com frequência? O instagram. Puta merda, como eu queria que pessoas/pequenas empresas voltassem a criar sites em vez de usar só rede social.

Descobri que a prefeitura de SP mantém espaços públicos e gratuitos de coworking pela cidade. Falta água, luz, moradia digna pro trabalhador, etc, mas ao menos tem onde empreendedor se reunir de graça [?!]

Tinha esquecido o quão merda era lidar com imobiliária em SP. Basicamente, ninguém responde e-mail ou mensagem pra marcar visita no imóvel e, como não tô na cidade, preciso saber disso antecipadamente pra me organizar de ir ver. Ai ai...

Just found out that there's a store in Brazil that specializes in fixing and modding old handheld consoles. I'm thinking about sending my GB DMG for them to fix, instead of doing it myself, because I don't want to damage it.

I love researching video game history

The first 10 years of January have truly been exhausting

The first comment on YouTube for this video is "This song sounds like it's airbrushed onto the side of a van" and there has perhaps never been a more apt assessment of a song than this youtu.be/DyhYzRRMBSU

The way these names were discovered blew my mind, holy shit. "Phonetical writing" of foreign languages with your local alphabet apparently has been the norm for thousands of years.

We experienced a truly incredible moment at the aquarium when this octopus decided to be a total jerk to its tankmate.

This thread is a work of art. Excellent use of the medium.

Burnout is genuinely life-destroying and I really can't say, on this website, what I think should happen to managers who not only let it happen to one individual worker but who systemically make it happen on large groups of workers.

Saw this on Mastodon. Man, I miss games like UO. www.raphkoster.com/2017/09/28/u...

In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties. The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized. Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

A maior vantagem de estar no Brasil é poder comprar paçoquita ao quilo.

Tem uma moça no instagram que faz shorts de terror e ela é _muito_ parecida com a Priscila Fantin mais jovem, a ponto que fico me perguntando se não fez algum tipo de deep fake, já que a moça diz usar IA nos vídeos.

MULA MUSUME MULA MUSUME MULA MUSUME

Oh, hey, that's me.

Using two laptops at the same time for work and feeling like Hackerman himself. (Loading two extremely heavy projects that are eating away my available RAM on both machines.)

Bandcamp is announcing that they're prohibiting music created wholly or with subtantial use of AI

Warhammer maker Games Workshop has banned the use of AI in its content production and its design process, insisting that none of its senior managers are currently excited about the technology. https://bit.ly/49xT9Xl

It's been 8 years since I last drank Yakult. I don't really care for the supposedly health benefits, I just think it's tasty and I missed it. Fun fact: Brazil used to have Yakult ladies.

Quem diz que Brasil tem imposto demais e quer ir embora por causa disso ou é burro, ou nunca averiguou a própria contabilidade. Passei num escritório hoje pra ver de abrir CNPJ no Brasil e vou pagar aqui, em impostos, menos da metade do que pagava em Portugal.

"i will never be able to play all games or watch all movies or read all books that i want" is a tough yet fundamental lesson to learn. there isn't enough time in a human life therefore, you can and should be selective

There was a screenshot I saw some days ago saying that every field thinks _their_ specialty can't be replaced by genAI, but every other can. Like, writers thinking everything but writing can be done with genAI; coders thinking everything but coding can be done with genAI; and so on.

So, I can't change the App Store region on iOS unless I cancel all my subscriptions, including Apple Music. But by canceling my Apple Music subscription, Apple is threateningly saying I might lose all my playlists and my library. Cool system you have here, giant Silicon Valley tech company.

It's so handy that you can pay for anything in Brazil by just scanning a QR code with your banking app, and it's a default system in all of them. In Europe you had to have cash, use a card, or rely on a third-party app.

A composição do meu suor/sangue deve ter mudado no período que passei na Europa porque estou sendo _ferozmente_ atacado por mosquitos nesse forno de cidade, e isso não costumava acontecer antes.

Had a dream I was visiting some small town in Ireland that got flooded every year for two days during Christmas and it was a tourist attraction. No idea where this patchwork of ideas came from, but I woke up thinking "why they keep living here and how do they keep their houses dry on the inside?"

O eterno conflito entre ter o impulso de querer ir em um rock bar para socializar, e o terror de ter que interagir com desconhecidos em um ambiente cheio de gente.

I think we should go back to Pangea being the only continent, just seems a lot more convenient

"This weapon was, and still is, similar to the..." For the love of god, please hire professional writers to write lore entries for your game. Seriously. There's so much pleonasm in this project that I want to tear my eyes out. It's making the translation go twice as slow.

Alguém me dá um tiro. Não aguento mais traduzir células com mais de 1.000 caracteres. Tô passando por um pedaço do arquivo aqui em que a média tá lá pelos 1.600 caracteres. Não aguento mais. Não ajuda que o source tá _muito_ mal escrito.

Are you a gamedev who's not using any GenAI in your pipeline? I'm currently compiling a list of such statements, either in the press, social media, or directly through your credit roll. Feel free to add more examples below.

Sempre que esse papo surge em conversa com tradutores, fico inconformado em como as pessoas têm medo de usar passaporte como documento de identidade para empresas estrangeiras.

I had forgotten how great naratriptan is for dealing with migraines. I'm lucky to live at this point in history.
