9 games trend by the game translator too busy to play more than a few games a year! there are so many classics out there, i want to play more of then and constantly update this list

japanese speedrunner has discovered that Deoxys+Lugia and Ho-oh events are available in the Switch FRLG release! www.youtube.com/live/xkHwuJK...

gen 10, wind and wave! wooh! wonder what country this region is based off of

ah, nice to get official confirmation of pokemon home compatibility for FRLG... tho I do wonder what'll be the case for pokemon XD

oh huh, didn't realize i was in the in-game credits for this, neat! even if just the store page...

hmmm, tempting. wonder how many people are gonna ask me to proxy buy for them XD

oh sweet! wonder if they'll have the navel rock and birth island events included...

They also had some sunflowers to honor Sakai's performance!

TGMS Mother 3 love theme starting soon!

funny noticing i actually stumble over my words less when on meds. a clear mind leads to clear speech, who could've known?

New portfolio piece! I did the J-E translation and proofreading (mix of both) for the new "My Hero Academia All's Justice" game! Was a huge task, but actually having seen the anime and getting a quick feel for how the characters talk helped a ton!

When you're so focused on just trying to fill the top row, but accidentally solve the entire puzzle... Thankfully, this Shuten Order route wound up more like Layton than Zero Escape, phew!

Went down to the university, couldn't find Mii-chan, but there were plenty of other cats who came in from outside. Mii-chan probably got tired of campus after 23.5 years, and decided to fight Satan for control of hell...

woah, aroace confirmed for tomodachi life?! never played the series before, but not i may be interested XD can't believe nintendo acknowledged we exist!!

Well, I've tried to escape the Zero Escape parts of this game as best I can... but now that the stealth game route, the ace attorney route, and the lesbian dating sim route have been completed... I have to choose between the escape room route or the vn route... here goes nothing I suppose

all these mario references... yet not a single one for wario or waluigi 🫠

Post old memes to confuse the younger people.

y'know, it's actually quite fun just brainstorming game ideas with a pen and paper... maybe this will be my goal by 40, to fund an game for the pure creativity of it...

Dog getting good at playing catch!

Mii-chan the Calico has been missing since November 2025 it seems. Next time I go to the university, I'm gonna go around all her hiding spots to see if she's still around. Even if she isn't around, that's still a solid 23.5 years (110 as a human) she was around for!

playing Mario Kart 8 DX after World... and damn, it's so exhilarating and... fun. yeah, this is the one i'm playing when guests are over, for sure!

when the serial killer is after you... and you just casually walk by him without being spotted...somehow

so starting with taxes and checked to see how many switch games i bought in 2025... literally just two (dragon quest 3 and shuten order). three if you count the switch 2 MKW bundle. damn, wasn't kidding about not having time to play games...

Now that the year is almost over, looking back at it... it was a slow first half, with lots of anxieties from lack of work, to a perpetually busy second half without any time to even play many games. But having been involved with an indie that became a hit, I think I'm starting to understand the-

Doubled the size of my portfolio, and thrived in my first full year as a freelancer. Even got my first solo translation indie hit courtesy of @traindetective.bsky.social I think I can reach 30 next year having achieved everything I wanted to and then some, already been working on my goals for 40.

Magypsy mirror arrived. Now I can look fabulous on the fly!

Already bought my ticket, will tell everyone what the experience was like!

Anyone know much about web design here? Since my portfolio's nearly tripled in size since I became a full-time freelancer, I should probably get this prettied up. Willing to pay for art and designs and stuff too!

one more credit to end the year! i helped work on LQA for Goat Simulator 3's recent DLC! yes, this meme game is really on my portfolio now, so be it :p

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

since i can't become a magical girl, i'll just be a wizard who also casts magical girl spells problem solved! i don't need to become a magical girl!!

Tried doing the math to see when I could retire... then asked myself "what would I do after I retired?" Keep doing game translation, lol So in which case, maybe I shouldn't be thinking about retirement, just when to start taking on less work...

That's 10 entries on my portfolio now. Hmm, do I continue listing every single one, or maybe just showcase ten entries...

A wild new credit has emerged! I worked on the Japanese LQA for the newly released indie "Good Night Universe" where you take control of a psychic baby and cause all sorts of mischief. Despite being story heavy, I actually quite liked it! store.steampowered.com/app/2416100/...

See you soon... #Mother #MotherDirect youtu.be/Hz7rzq2asz8

so i got the switch 2 because it's cheap in japan. it really... just feels like a switch pro tbh. ui and most of the features are the same as the switch 1. i think this is the first time a "next-gen" console has felt so similar to the predecessor

...why does the camera randomly shift to a front view, making it impossible to see where I'm going???

well then, took 85 turns to defeat the... dragon from dragon quest 3. i think that's as good as considering the game finished. time to move on to other things...
