Creator of eclectic and sporadic multimedia. Official subtitler for Jerma985 (patreon.com/c/ErasmusMagnus), and @stopkillinggames.bsky.social‬. Throw me some coin: https://ko-fi.com/erasmusmagnus

Jerma985 subtitles are on hold. YouTube's subtitle editor permission is broken again. Since I don't have the privilege of speaking with the 2ndJerma team, this makes my job basically impossible. If YOU know how to contact a 2ndJerma editor, let me know. Otherwise, we'll have to wait on YouTube.

On 2ndJerma's YouTube Studio page, highlighted is the role of being a "subtitle editor," with "video subtitles" appearing completely blank. The video page is for "The Sinking Clown" and only the "Subtitles tab" isn't faded out.

Just 70 hours after launching our campaign, we reached our goal of 750,000 SEK! But we’re not stopping there. Every contribution from here helps us secure better loan terms, or potentially even purchasing the building outright. Thank you to everyone who has donated or shared our campaign so far. ❤️

If you're into game dev, you have to check out this community. After 12 years rusty with game dev they were more than happy to take me in, and I was able to make Faceless Assassin. So I guess that makes it MY community now too. I don't know of another place like it on Earth. And they need your help.

I tried helping out with some Jerma transcriptions a while back and it is not easy work at all. People who make captions for youtube videos deserve a lot more respect

No gamedev I've ever seen in 11 years on the job was lazy. I've seen overambitious, stubborn, egotistical, short-sighted, or just plain scatterbrained devs, but no one was ever lazy. No such thing as a dev who did not care deeply, painfully, wholeheartedly about their game.

game devs: what are the myths that a lot of players of games think are true about making games that are completely untrue? If you could snap your fingers and they suddenly all knew the truth about it what would it be?

the youtube alogrithm's propensity towards homogeny drives me insane. the phrasing "did you know? [...] let me explain" shouldn't be annoying the shit out of me, and yet here we are

Had an extra poster frame laying around. Decided to make a collage of NG stuff I've been collecting and hang it in my office. Let me know if you see any art you made in there!

Only a couple days left to get Coin Crypt for 90%(!) off It is the very first roguelike deck builder ever published (that I can find). It has a lot of weird choices, from an alternate reality where slay the spire never existed. Still proud of it :) store.steampowered.com/app/264690/C...
