From the Void - Otherworldly Game Localization — The Fundamental Question of AI in Game Development: Why? - From the Void "You were so preoccupied with whether or not you could, you didn't stop to think if you should"

When someone aks what we think about the use of AI, the first question that comes to mind is always:

But why? Why would we, or anyone really, want to use it?

Here's @mittovac.bsky.social's piece about this very topic. Please share to anyone who needs to read this ⬇️

Dans le train de retour de la Gamescom, je fais l'inventaire mental de ce que j'ai récupéré ou acheté à droite à gauche, et définitivement, côté goodies, les grands gagnants, c'est @local-heroes.com. Les petits nerds de la localisation dont les sous-bocks font rire et un peu grincer des dents.

"I didn’t understand why audiovisual translators & literary translators had their names on everything, but video game translators couldn’t say anything at all."

100% convinced that Nintendo's Switch 2 designer is an X-Men fan 🟦🟧

We made a starter kit for ethical game localization! Useful for translators wishing to connect with others and for game devs, or anyone interested in game loc really 🤍

BURNINATING THE COUNTRYSIDE

I heard they’re making a new Transformers movie, but this time it’s for KIDS

I think Starfield is worth getting if you’re in for everything that’s typical about a Bethesda RPG. It is just that, nothing particularly new, just loads of Bethesda content, of which some parts are, as always, truly fantastic.

Well… there’s a lot of shooting in Starfield, but tons of dialogue, too. I’m not sure how it compares to Fallout 4, but I got *really* invested in the story of a few of the “side quests”. (In quotation marks because they were so long they could have been full games.)

A cake with the Local Heroes logo and the text "10 YEARS OF KICK-ASS LOCALIZATION!" with two inflatable numbers 1 and 0 behind it.

🥳 Ten years! 10! Yes, Local Heroes is now officially ten years in business! It seems only yesterday that we were celebrating our 5-year anniversary. So hip-hip-hooray and let's have some cake! 🎂

Will Eisner 4:06 | Harvey Kurtzman 8:46 | Jack Kirby 14:13 | Steve Ditko 19:31 | Neal Adams 26:29 Berni Wrightson 31:53 | Moebius 37:27 |Frank Miller 42:36 ... Masters Of Comic Book Art - Eisner, Kirby, Ditko, Adams, Wrightson, Miller - 1987

This video is 80s fabulous but it's also an essential historical document. These are very rare interviews by some of the actual founding creators of comics all at a unique time in thier journey. Masters Of Comic Book Art - Eisner, Kirby, Ditko, Adams, youtu.be/_kkzrs1HUsk?...

Arslan Ash is the new head of the Mishima Zaibatsu, dropping the last of all competition down a volcano. What a beast. More broken hearts and crushed dreams than I could count, TWT 2023 Finals' top 8 was the Best Ass Tekken I've ever watched.

Zo heb ik tóch ineens spijt van mijn emigratie naar het buitenland.

Without truly knowing what it is I'm asking, here's my question: Kieron, what is Kenickie's best B-side?

The fight intros in Tekken 8 go places

It's a date! Would happily show you around. It'll start with some Tekken at our place, and then a trip to Popcultgang. 👊

Racking up a solid playtime on the Tekken 8 demo already, with just 4 characters playable. It takes the solid foundation of Tekken 7 and turns it up to 11, rewarding aggressive playstyles. But Ghost Battles are the MVP USP: fighting your own (and others') AI clones keeps even solo play exciting!

@noppy.bsky.social If you ever find yourself visiting my home town Aarhus, be sure to drop by this shop. I think you'd go wild in there (I know I do every time I set foot in there)): www.instagram.com/popcultgang/

Yo!

The crew of the Cobalt under attack by another spaceship floating through space.

🧑‍🚀 In Cobalt Core you are deckbuilding and space-shooting in a roguelike by Brace Yourself Games! Keep your crew alive in the languages DE, ES, FR, JA, KO, PT-BR, RU, ZH-CHS, and ZH-CHT!

🙃 Fun Fact: Take a look at the spaceship names and you might discover some creepy crawly name references! 🪲

Oké, ik MOET dus voor eind februari naar Nederland. Supergaaf dit.

Game stores still have brochures? :o

Even if it means we can never play together, I still love to hear it. Donny's the man.

Who's the Ninja Turtle you rush to lock in on the character select screen?

Drops or twists, any size
Salt or sweet, they both delight
Nom nom, here comes the Licorice-Man

An edit I made playing Spider-Man 2 in reference to the iconic 'Leap of Faith' scene from Into The Spider-Verse.SOCIALS:https://twitter.com/Much118xhttps://w... Marvel's Spider-Man 2: 'Into The Spider-Verse' Webslinging

In awe of this in-game edit of Into the Spider-Verse's 'Leap of Faith'. The unlockable suits shine once again. What's up, danger!
