Cam, mate. I'd like to volunteer to translate GQ to Portuguese. If you have a coordinated work, please let me in!

I have experience with translation and interpreting. Let me know if an interview is required! :)

Hi Cam,

How are you doing?

Recently revisited your site, and got to say - you really hit the nail on the head with addressing the problems related to quitting games. Especially in your “four reasons why you play” video - man that hit home :).

Anyway, I stumbled upon this post. Are you still up for contributions? Would love to share my story and the way I actually help people now with their social skills.

Let me know if I can help! Keep up the good work!

Best,

Timon

@Cam I've been wanting to find a meaningful way to keep my Japanese fluency up since coming back to Australia. I'd be keen on helping out with Japanese translations if it's a thing.

Also, I'd be interested in helping with the badge-bot. I'm so excited to have one that I may as well help make it happen.

Would love your help. For translation, I will add you to the subforum.

For badge-bot, @stablish, can you two connect and see about this?
