There's always a conversation about how to set up localization variables in your game from the start, and I would also include that you should also set some sort of universal value that makes easier UI scaling in the future.

I’m not a perfect woman, but if there’s something I never forget, it’s *also* talking to Melo when playing Animal Crossing. 🩷
For #caturday, meet Chipie (the tabby cat), my parents’ cat! Michi (the colorpoint kitten) really likes Chipie. She thinks she’s her best friend. But Chipie doesn’t feel the same way about Michi… 🥹
I went to the hairdresser today and I asked for a shaggy haircut. She absolutely nailed it. I love the new look so much! 🤓
Why do kitties *need* to interrupt any form of packing by laying down inside a suitcase? 🥹🩷
I just tried this Mint Sprite Zero, and girl, it is *yu-mmy*. The mint taste is lowkey but very refreshing, and it mixes incredibly well with lime and lemon. 10/10
My weekend in pictures. Have a good Monday, pals! 🩷
Update: I, indeed, listened to the craving more than my stomach.

Why are many games more expensive for Nintendo Switch 2 than for the first generation? We’re talking 10% to 20% increase for the same game, that’s *a lot*.
I'm looking for my next Nintendo Switch 2 game. I'd like something either in the spirit of Sid Meier's Civilization sequel or City Skylines, but more niche & indie. Any recs? 👀

Restaurants that use AI generated pictures of food make me cringe so bad.
My partner and I played Twelve Minutes and honestly, I would recommend it to anyone looking for a bite-sized, out-of-the-ordinary type of game! I'd also recommend to wait and get it on sale, as it's often the case. :) store.steampowered.com/app/1097200/...

Quick reminder for my fellow freelancers: - If a brief lands in your inbox and requires you to confirm availability & commitment in order to share more about budget and the type of task (AI training, for instance), it's dodgy af. You won't be missing out if you decline it. Happy hump day. ❤️

For all my "impostor-syndromed" pals out there. If you play any video game, you're a gamer. Point blank.🤎 (Thank you, @ptrtlrwrts.bsky.social, for the inspo. I couldn't quote-repost your version!)
pixelframe.design@pixelframe.bsky.social · 4w agoSure, Snickers has already had a campaign where they replaced the name with other words, but I have a feeling you'll want to use some words in this they wouldn't approve of. The Snickers Font & Logo Generator is live now!

Good morning to everyone, except ASMR content creators who set multiple ad breaks during a video. 💔
Can we sit down a second and realize that we, translators/linguists, receive waves of AI-training tasks that aim at erasing our jobs over time? Companies have the *audacity* to ask professionals to perform tasks in order to make them redundant faster? That should be addressed a lot more.
