Today the internet lost Maru, cat of legend, so I'm putting out an empty cardboard box for him.

That happened to me a short time ago for the first time, and boy I was not pleased 😑

Do I like city-building strategy games? Apparently NOT

When you think you're done with a project, but then the devs reply to your queries, or the reviewer sends in some comments, or the PM adds some more lines, or... [add yours]

They do have money, just not for the professionals who actually create those games for them 🙄

If you see this, quote post with a robot that isn’t from Star Wars, Star Trek, Dr Who or Transformers.

A bittersweet view on freelancing, in Italian. "Am I going anywhere?"

Il dilemma del freelance

Dear devs, "Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career." CHOOSE ITALIAN FOR YOUR GAME! 🇮🇹

PS - Yes, they are all still with me and in good conditions after 3+ international moves.

Over the years I would go back and read past entries, sometimes to look for advice or to observe progress. I still recall specific writing sessions where, once over, I could finally muster the courage to do something.
Maybe I should start again... 2/2

Fun fact: I kept a diary from approx. 1994 to 2010. I wrote every single day from 1996 to 2008. Even if it was only a few lines or just "Nothing to report today". I think it was useful to sort out thoughts in my mind and, let's face it, I had tons of free time back then. 1/2

That's literally all I do as a translator, all day long. In my own native language

Cal C @cdcubed.bsky.social · Mar 26

years ago, a native speaker on a forum declared, "you'll never make it as a professional translator if you're looking up words all the time."
was ever a piece of advice so dogshit?
632 published books later, I've built a career on proving him wrong. spite as effective motivator 🤷‍♂️

Get to know us better... From the Void Edition! 💫

Given what #TranslatorsintheCredits means to us, we figured this would be a cool way of introducing our epic translators 🤍

So for each question, you'll discover a member of our team & something about them! Let's do this 👀
