Because I'm an editor, and because I'm curious...

Players: How does the writing in a videogame affect your overall enjoyment? Has anything ever made you quit a game - unclear wording, poor translation/localisation, inconsistencies, typos?

(1/3)

@PiecesOfKate The writing can absolutely make or break a game for me. For instance, I despise Bungie's monetization practices with the last few expansions of Destiny 2, however I keep giving them my money in spite of that, because I love the writing of the game and I'm invested in that story.

On the flip side, I love the tactics-style gameplay of Fire Emblem, but didn't even make it to the time-skip in Three Houses because all the character dialogue was so terrible that I couldn't stand playing it any further and never got to experience the full game.

Morning Mastodonians!

Hockey is a funny game. Before the puck drop, my D said to me "You're going to see a lot of shots.". And it did look like the other team had 3, maybe 4, of the best players on the ice. But instead, we crushed them, 7-1, and the lone goal I gave up was a bouncer from the second line I should have had. We worked hard, but still, I would have never guessed. I wasn't even stressed too often. Funny how that works out sometimes.

@nnscott @bookstodon @books oh, that sounds interesting! I read Claire Tomalin's wonderful biography of him but I've never really read any of his books.

@jda @bookstodon @books You know more than me, having read the bio, but I understand that Dickens started as a police reporter and his early works: Sketches By Boz, Oliver Twist and Pickwick Papers, all benefit from some "reading between the lines" as he alluded to things he knew that he couldn't write straight out. Thomas summarizes long works like Mayhew's London Life, reports of vice committees and so on that illustrate the congested, abusive and creative London Dickens found so fascinating.

Not all! My arch Linux install definitely has the original vi – the one where when you cw it doesn’t delete the word until you go back to normal mode to save on screen refresh. Plugins? Custom commands? Multiple buffers? Forget it!

You have to say you use Vim then actually use Nano. That’s the Linux way.

Mobile-Friendly-Firefox Updates:

Screenshots! Well, not quite. I had added lots of screenshots, but the repo ballooned in size and took too long to clone. So I did a git rebase -i <SHA1> command to completely remove all screenshots and opted instead to link a screenshot that I posted to the Purism forums. I may add some more in the future, but I don't want to clutter the README.md with too many images.

What are some good hashtags?

I want to reach writers and see more writers in my feed. Bloggers specifically, but writers generally.

@fromjason Following people from the server https://writing.exchange is also helpful! But some good ones I like are Follow -> @writingcommunity @writers @bookstodon

(Tagging these groups in hopes that it might also help you find new people to follow! Good luck!)

Cory Doctorow @pluralistic : Companies like Tesla, Amazon and Cruise that claim to have replaced human workers with AI are often outright lying. Often, they’re instead replacing local employees with remote workers paid peanuts in India and other developing countries.

“So much AI turns out to be low-waged people in a call center in the Global South pretending to be robots that Indian techies have a joke about it: ‘AI stands for “absent Indian.”’”
