Extremely proud to say I was the localization editing lead for Bubbly Basin, Pokopia's first DLC. Also even more proud of the ridiculously talented team of translators, editors, and fantastic loc folks who made it happen. I hope everyone has a bubbly time playing!

throwing a castlevania party in october, dracula-themed drinks and decor, i will give a presentation on the series, its history, the tv show, and the long gap before the upcoming game, and then upon release, we will play the new game yesssss

The bad-faith AI-booster argument about artists being “gatekeepers” is so facile that it really doesn’t deserve any air. Those are not serious people, and your time and energy for yourself are too valuable to expend on them!

Websites should tell you in advance if you're gonna get six paragraphs in before the text fades into the background and a message pops up that says "Keep us crunching on that wordola" and then asks you for five dollars

A thing I love about translation is the constant learning. Like TIL you have to meet a minimum standing long jump requirement to join the Brazilian police, and Zippo has a "spiritual" line, which includes a Year of the Rabbit lighter, implying Chinese astrology is a spiritual practice.

"hater week" is the most emotionally exhausting thing i can fathom lmao hating is the most time-honored and protected form of engaging in the video game industry for like 30 years running already hating is everywhere, on all sides of every argument! smug nerds have been hating for fun for decades!
