I'll be hosting a launch stream this Saturday for Ys vs. Trails in the Sky, featuring several voice actors from the game! Check it out @ twitch.tv/schtolteheim! Featuring Blythe Melin (blythemelin.bsky.social), Emi Lo (kitsunesqueak.bsky.social), and Leona Renee (hatsuu.bsky.social)!

At Grauman's Egyptian Theater in Hollywood for Beyond Fest. About to see three Guillermo del Toro films with a short introduction from the director himself. Really looking forward to this.

I held Peter Jackson's Best Picture Oscar for Return of the King, you guys. I didn't realize it was the genuine article until it was in my hands and I nearly flipped out. Today was one of my best days ever.

Switch 2 launch is pretty fire so far you guys.

It can be frustrating when you give them a name as simple as "David", but they still misspell it.

Since everyone else is posting theirs, I suppose I might as well put mine here. Fun list, but even as someone who played it back when it was brand new, I kind of wish we could get past all this Chrono Trigger worship. Also, no Vagrant Story, so instant fail from me.

The original Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest are total comfort food for me. Every time I revisit them, whether through the originals or the many remakes, I can remember a time when free time was abundant, my TV only had about 3 channels, and a little gray box brought genuine magic into my life.

Dan has clearly thought more critically about these tariffs than anyone responsible for imposing them... youtu.be/zlhv8V5n0sQ

Hello everyone! It's been a while. :) We would like to thank Time Extension for their recent article highlighting the current financial state of the GPS. We would like to expand on it somewhat and respond to some of the comments left by readers. www.timeextension.com/features/we-...

Those that know me, know that this kind of preservation is incredibly important to me. I'm not asking you to give them money if things are tight, but I would like to at least encourage you to read this article in its entirety and then consider how you can help. www.timeextension.com/features/we-...

This is brilliant. 😂

happy april 25th aka the perfect date ✨

I feel it's important that I share this for some reason.

I get that it can be "funny" to go to a bad movie ironically, but the studios still get your money, and regardless of what your intentions are, all they think is: "Oh. Audiences want more of this," and then they allocate less money to films that might actually have something interesting to say.

New assortment of Criterion Blu-Rays from the recent flash sale!

My girlfriend is amazing and bought me flowers for Valentine's. Feeling extra loved and grateful today. 🥰

WORK ANNOUNCEMENT! I was the lead editor on Trails through Daybreak II! I edited 2/3rds of the main story and was a producer on the game's English dub. I helped a little with casting and provided supporting direction during all of the game's voiceover sessions at PCB.

Happy Valentine's Day to all! It gives me great pride to announce my work as a translator on Trails through Daybreak II, which just happens to be releasing today. Congrats to the team and everyone else who worked so hard to make this release possible. I hope everyone enjoys the experience. 🙂

also MY FRIENDS ARE SO COOL AND DID SUCH A GOOD AND INSPIRING JOB @anonymusaxolotl.bsky.social @theslyartist.bsky.social @mrcoolmanist.bsky.social @shawnji-blue.bsky.social

I wish getting older meant that life somehow made more sense and that there was some kind of peace of mind to be found, but sometimes the world just finds all new things for you to feel anxious and insecure about.

I was surprised today by a Christmas care package from my extended family today. Really unexpected and sweet of them. Brightened my day a lot.

MEDIA THREAD 2025 Kind of fell out of doing a media thread at some point last year, but I'm gonna try and keep up with it this time around. We'll see how it goes.

Three films already slated for 2025 that are "live-action" remakes of beloved animated films? Guh. This is really getting sad.

2024 has been a wild year. So much happened in the space of just 12 months. Having turned 40 this past year, I can't help looking back over my life and wondering if I'll be able to look back in another 20 years and feel satisfied with wherever I end up. Here's hoping.

Quote with a title screen that's iconic to you. It's the whole lead in with the pre-rendered movie introducing the Zodiac Brave Story and the flames that swell in time with the musical cue that make this one really memorable for me.

Pup has gotten acclimated and likes to rest under the desk while I play / work as long as his bed's there.

Wherever you are and whatever your circumstances, I hope you've found some measure of peace and happiness this holiday season.

Not really sure why I chose to watch Dr. Strangelove while lying in bed at 11PM on Christmas Eve, but I guess global nuclear obliteration just struck me as a particularly jolly way to ring in the holidays.

Well, hey, look at that. They finally made a decent Sonic movie that wasn't horribly marred by the human characters. Three stars. Good job Paramount.

I don't remember what I was dreaming of, but I woke up a minute ago exclaiming to no one in particular: "Standardized testing is not an effective measure of a student's ability to apply information in a practical environment," and now I really want to know the context...

Puppy-sitting for a friend, and he's a very good boy, but he's a little clingy. Insists on being close to me all the time, so I'm gaming like this today.

A few new additions to my Criterion Collection from this most recent sale. Glad to have almost all of Terry Gilliam's films now. 🙂

@ozone.birb.house Hello. Just wanted to request a Game Dev label. I go by Shawn Cox (or sometimes Shawn Michael Cox), and have localization credits in various video games, both released and unreleased. Thanks in advance!
