My partner & I were trying to ID a bird we heard while walking and the guy who had stopped his car to let us pass got out and was like "it's a frog, actually. Cope's Gray. I do frog surveys... Sorry" And then got in his car without a word and drove off. Absolute king

"What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders?" As a game translator, most of the time I do not have access to the game itself—sometimes not even to pictures, background lore or the ID of the characters in a dialogue. It's just a girl with her two column Excel file, and a dream.

All the people I still know in LA laugh and laugh when they hear that "Los Angeles is burning." I made a couple of maps to show just how tiny and localized the protests are. GOPers are working really hard to make an excuse for declaring martial law. People should be very wary of that.

Lots of talk today about the demise of BlueSky. For whatever it's worth, it's been a boon to indie publishers like us. Twitter and Facebook have pretty much silenced us, so the engagement here has, and continues to be, wonderful.

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

This year's Summer Games Fest presentation was really concerned with how few people made a lot of those games, huh? It feels kinda fucked up. Not just because they're often misrepresntating the real size of these teams, but because I think it's playing directly into a new(ish) flavour of dev hate.

The Polish foreign minister, a writer and journalist who covered the Soviet war in Afghanistan in the 1980s, clearly knows a thing or two about a patiently-timed response.

ok but i need the male character origin stories (marcus fenix, james bond) to be the same as the tomb raider reboot where lara croft was crying the whole time about being bad at stuff. i need marcus and 007 to be fully drool-sobbing that they're bad at shooting a gun or whatever. this is equality.

All comments of the sort "well, this just goes to show how hard Putin is working to destabilise European democracies" can be safely ignored. Poles were quite capable of making this choice without outside assistance.

The exit poll from Poland's presidential election run-off shows that the result is too close to call. Government-aligned centrist Rafał Trzaskowski has 50.3% while conservative opposition candidate Karol Nawrocki is on 49.7%. All eyes will now be on the official result, due tomorrow.

In recent weeks, video game publishers Take-Two and EA both warned investors about potential "reputational" risks to the use of gen-AI in games. It's a problem that all game companies will soon need to confront: Players hate genAI. This week's column: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

In French 'charcuterie' literally means "pork-butcher's shop." The words are cut from 'chair cuite,' meaning "cooked meat." (In French 'chair' means "meat" and 'cuite' means "cooked.")
