Sadly, my contract with Blizzard ended in September. That means I'm looking for fulltime or contract work as a senior writer or narrative designer. If you need someone who can write sharp characters, poetic prose, and emotional stories, I'm available! www.hazelmonforton.com

dr. hazel 🐝 @hazelmonforton.com · Jul 8

It's #portfolioday! I'm presently a senior narrative designer at Blizzard, but before that I was at Bungie and Arkane. I wrote for the Writer's Guild award-nominated Dishonored: Death of the Outsider, and a bunch of critically acclaimed seasons and expansions in Destiny 2.

so apparently the "fix" to silksong's simplified chinese is...worse?

reading the posts "地名和boss名已经先入为主了，不要动啊，修订对话和图鉴就行了啊，你在瞎鸡巴改什么东西 "

they apparently went back and changed the formal names and places etc? so if you knew a thing as "A", it's now, not "A" 🫠

When we write or draw porn or erotica, we get banned from having a bank account and our livelihoods get seized even if we give it away for free.

When billionaires steal what we've written or drawn to churn out a slop-approximate of porn, they're allowed to charge for it.

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

Alpha Games, one of the most notorious late-payer (and more often than not non-payer) of game localization, is currently running a loc grant for indies.

Fun fact: it's not even close to the amount they still owe to dozens of translators.

Cynicism at its finest.

Hi, thanks for the share !!

Black and white drawing of a woman with eyes wide opened. She wears a skirt with black pants, a black shirt with long sleeves and a jacket with short sleeves. She seems to be in a position to run, her hair floating behind her, and a small part of it shapes into 2 long braids, joining in a jewelry.
The backcround is composed of white shapes resembling petals and a moon

Drawing of a woman. She has a mark on her forehead, and wears egyptian-inspired clothes. She has a cross as a head jewelry. She seems happy.
The background is composed of 2 lilies, one ungrown peony and one lotus

Black & white bust drawing of a girl with different colored eyes, a cap, and long hair floating on her right side and tied on her left.
She wears a black tank top and a white jacket not covering her shoulders.

i’ve said it a million times: if your LGBTQ inclusivity doesn’t consider the added struggles that come with the intersectionality of the black trans experience, it’s not actual inclusivity. ESPECIALLY right now.
