A personal blog about whatever comes to mind
It’s a cool little thing to make games, tools, and other stuff The first time I used an Apple computer was in 2011, I think, which was already too late for it to have Hypercard. To be honest, I didn’t even know that Hypercard existed until I found Decker, which is a retro-looking software inspired by it.…
There is some weird stuff going on with these two variants that I think it’s interesting to explore because they diverge in more than just vocabulary, as the phonology for each one moved in different directions — and in the European Portuguese case, removed itself quite a bit from the usual path Romance languages have…
A small interactive fiction made with Twine I made a small project to learn how to use Twine. It’s just a short interactive fiction, nothing major or incredible about it. Twine is cool and very easy to use, especially if you use the Chapbook format and just want to write. But embedding the image at…
After a long while, I released two new ambient songs in a new EP. You can listen to it now on bandcamp, link below, and in a week or so it should hit all the streaming services and YouTube. A Day in the Life of by lokeloski
Some people think translation can be done fast because “the text is already written”, but we must remember that localization is a creative endeavor, so it takes a lot of time and energy to make something worthwhile Usually, in Brazilian Portuguese, we consider that one translator takes closer to 8 hours to translate 3,000 words. Obviously,…
Here’s a compilation of my favorite “All Along the Watchtower” covers on YouTube for no good reason and in no particular order. I don’t know what’s up with this song, but I love the expressivity musicians show when playing it. So, this is the original one, from Bob Dylan. This is Jimi Hendrix’s version,…
One thing to be noted when someone talks about “editing” video game translation is that it could mean: Every project always has all of the above happening at some point, that’s why it’s impossible to claim full authorship about any aspect of the job. I might sound like a broken record but it is, literally,…
The Shin Megami Tensei series just had a game released with a Brazilian Portuguese translation for the first time And I had the honor of helping lead its localization effort. Seriously, I’ve never thought I would see the day an Atlus game would be translated into Brazilian Portuguese, much less with my involvement. As a…
Whenever I listen to AC/DC, I instantly remember of Neverwinter Nights. It’s kinda weird, but it kinda makes sense: I bought my NwN’s hard box copy (which I still have) and a CD version of Back in Black together, in the same place. (It was in a hypermarket.) When NwN was being installed, Back in…
I would’ve never guessed this thing here isn’t a photo. This image was created by a .exe file that’s only 4kb. Which is absurd. And there are many more images – not all realistic, but all very good nonetheless – in this link. The “4K” there is a joke with the file size, not the…
