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...

-BOUND TO THE DARK WORLD- A project 2 years in the making A ROMHACK of Earthbound that recreates Deltarune Chapter 1 in its entirety Experience Deltarune as if it were made in the 90's Available (for free!) October 31st, 2025 See you on Halloween

oh yeah, i had a small steam page translation task for this (english to japanese)!

First post for Cozy Words here! We helped the fantastic @aenderlara.bsky.social localize the Steam page of @woodblocksgame.bsky.social, and we LOVED it! Simplified Chinese - @marivers.bsky.social Japanese - @lonechallenger.bsky.social Korean - @roheeee.bsky.social French - @lucopynerd.bsky.social

Went to see the Chainsaw Man movie I don't think I've seen something aimed at adults in theaters before, it's gory as always, but I enjoyed!

it's been one whole year since i registered as a full-time freelancer now! there's been some dry spells, but things seem to be going pretty smoothly as of this one-year mark, i'd say it's been a productive first year here's to continuing to not needing any company to make it out there...

bubsy 4d is actually fun and even more impressive, i actually laughed at one of bubsy's jokes!

after like half a year (100 consecutive work days, wooh) I finally got to the credits of DQ3. Huh, so it's a prequel... might consider checking out 1&2 as well then def got a better insight into how this shaped the general RPG formula, and would be more than willing to check out future entires!

...why does DQ3 have armor that reflects your own allies healing spells? never seen something like this before, really threw me off

Some old advice about starting big projects (game translation projects in my case, but a lot of it is probably universal) #gametranslation

While at Pokémon Center Shibuya (for the codes) I noticed they had these metallic pokeball puzzles. I chose the master ball level one, so can't make heads or tails of it of course! Goes very well with the Aegislash they had a few years back!

New entry for my portfolio! I did the base EN translation for PAC-MAN WORLD 2 Re-PAC! It's been a long time in the making, so I hope you enjoy. I'll definitely be playing it for myself as well.

at tgs, my fellow translators were thinking i was 18... funny thing is, a few years ago i was often confused for 19 how is this even possible? aging in reverse?

sooo i didn't realize how big of a deal Disco Elysium was until recently umm, yeah, i did the Japanese LQA for the mobile port, for those of you who don't know. might need to feature it more prominently in my portfolio, lol

Sonic Racing demo was pretty fun. A nice change of pace from Mario Kart honestly... def interested in checking it out. I think it appeals to core gamers a lot more too. The Katamari demo meanwhile was too short for me to formulate an opinion on :/

Demo for the new katamari game too. They went all out for this booth

Waiting in line for the Sonic Racing Demo...

At TGS this year as well!

oh god, did i really stall on DQ3 for 5 months??? need to get back to it now that things are finally easing up...

Heck yeah! And day one Japanese support by yours truly!

who could have predicted virtual boy??? tho just the few seconds of footage made me nauseous, lol

woah, now you can buy mario galaxy for the switch... twice!

heh, nice. mario galaxy 1 was so cinematic, i hope the movie captures that atmosphere. even if it means no wario and waluigi :p

lmao, our prime minister Ishiba already resigned, it hasn't even been a year. are we going back to our revolving door of prime ministers I wonder...

Oh hey, my copy of Shuten Order arrived. Haven't played a game like this in a while, let's see how it goes... whenever I get the time to play games again

thinking of going to Gamescom in Germany next year (if I can afford it). will it be worthwhile I wonder...

Cousin's cat made friends with a fox. They dominate the neighborhood together! He even invited the fox into the house, and the fox couldn't get out!

did a culling of the discord servers i'm in. I'm still in a lot, but if I suddenly disappeared, that's why

Eight titles in the portfolio... just like gym badges! there's a ninth coming very soon but... guess I can enjoy the magic number until then :p

Oh hey look, I just got credited on my first LQA exclusive project!

What's that?! A little game-saving frog told me that the renewed MOTHER Direct's 2025 premiere is coming to you on the 20th of SEPTEMBER! Buckle up, folks - this year's edition's gonna be real fun! See you there!

only now do i realize we went the entire switch generation without a new ace attorney game. that's like, the first handheld generation that's happened... EVER!

been too busy to play games lately, but wooh, new katamari game! the previous one lagged a lot on my switch, so this'll be what I want a switch 2 for :p

just went to the Shapes of Mother Event. Thoughts: The models are very high quality. Some have a few cracks here and there, but otherwise, look very good. They even had models for vehicles like the train or boat in Mother 1

Lil Calico was in my front yard instead of backyard. I was worried going to my door would chase her off... but instead, she just trotted past me, instead of away from me. Welp, that answers my question. No, she isn't a sociopath like a certain 23-year old Calico I know...

we get a new mega evolution, and it looks goofy as heck feels like 2015 all over again :p

look, my name in the credits for Shadow Labyrinth (gritty Pacman game)! give it a look if you're interested!
