If anyone knows of any writing opportunities, especially in the gaming space, please give her a holler! In addition to her fantastic fiction writing, she's been invaluable as a translation editor catching my silly typos and unclear sentences!

More surprising than floppy disks in old video games is the Windows phone jumpscare~

I'm conflicted. On one hand, I should experience Tokimeki Memorial myself for historical reasons On the other, it's gonna be hard to overcome negative bias from years of people prodding that this'll "cure my kusoge addiction" by playing good or even great games. I wish that was a bit, it's not~

Gunslinger Girl for PS2 contains an early beta version you can play by changing the extension of a file on the disc to ".iso". That beta itself contains yet another even earlier beta within it, hidden the same way.

Got distracted working on Airs Adventure when this cutscene gave off Kung Pow energy, had to make this

My ebay has only gotten weirder, and I'd have it no other way ...though it's dangerous as both those bulldogs are absolute champions ; _;

Made a poll in my discord for what I should play next out of curiosity, crossposting here for sample reach if anyone wants to vote! Tried to make a wide spread of options that probably most people will only know half of, maybe? Multi-voting is allowed~

I'm... finally free... Can't believe I spent 4:20 hours on Sota for this. Every other char worked together, but he had to make it hard But we blaze it anyway~

Director Kazuya Yamada's Choice for the Fanart category goes to Brynn H. @cargodin.bsky.social !! 🥳 x.com/Cargodin/sta...

The most casual name drop yet, didn't even realize at first it was my name and not the line

Wanted to give an Airs Adventure update since I haven't mentioned it lately! Life's calming down, so starting to get into the translation for this again. Everything apart from story is completed. Overall translation says ~55%, though there's a bit of fluff and unused text in that estimate

ILLUMINATION reveals Super Real Mahjong Venus Returns, a "revival" of the nearly 40-year-old franchise to release on Steam in spring 2026 with desktop and VR modes. Merry Haruhina is the new character designer. Original designer Ryo Tanaka provided a celebration visual.

Just an average night~

ever wanted to cheat at mahjong? ever wanted to throw tiles across the table? ever wanted to lose a game to a furry? ever wanted to discover idiotic, never-before-seen yakuman? then wishlist dirtbag mahjong~ store.steampowered.com/app/3488460/...

[Fan TL] Tsui no Sora is out One of the "Three Great Denpa Games" alongside Sayonara o Oshiete and Jisatsu no Tame no 101 no Houhou. It later served as the basis for Subarashiki Hibi A Ren'Py port of the original 1999 game

"Taking damage causes death buildup"? That's just called taking damage!

It's that time of the year, woo! Merry-- wait, too early for Christmas, what's the closest holiday... Merry Septem-- *gets shot*

Yes, we just met, so just call me bitch as we're not that close

...Hey wait a minute, I know that copyright-avoiding name! It's the boss from Tokidoki Memorial!!

Made a test episode to see how well playing Japanese VRChat horror worlds and adding translation subtitles would work! ...Something about playing as Juliet just makes me go insane and be a chaos gremlin though, for better or for worse? youtu.be/S1RSRAbq4ZQ

Randomized high-difficulty mode with floors~~ ❤️ 🗼

ICYMI, @yuvi.app partially preserved Biohazard: The Operations, a previously-lost Biohazard keitai game! It heavily relied on missing SD card data, but Yuvi painstakingly recreated the data from scratch, resulting in all missions and online leaderboards being functional! (1/2)

Can Duolingo do this~~ 🔥 🦉 🔥

Biohazard: The Operations Recovered from an F904i I recently acquired. I had to create a server and recreate the whole Spencer Mansion one scene at a time! The game is 95% complete! We made a partial English patch thanks to @snowyaria.bsky.social, @shentok.com, and myself youtu.be/hC1VyUFzqCA

I've been complaining a lot last few weeks, watch me enjoy things instead: youtu.be/6olBuVa_-EI

I've been thinking it'd be cool to show off JP-only VR Chat horror experiences and translating them as I play, but I'm not sure what format would be good if I do. I'm not really one for giving reviews, so showcasing more so. Stream or video upload? (video below would probably be the vibe lol)

Glad that for all the scenes this light novel could have drawn in its limited illustration count was the one of the cat familiar trying coffee and instantly regretting it, perfect choice

Since 2023, translators and interpreters have seen work dry up, rates plummet and their jobs reduced to editing AI-generated output. Some are leaving the field, others are considering bankruptcy. All despite any major upgrade in translation quality. This is how AI is killing translation work:

Popping on for another PC-98 Bot mahjong night competition, come by and watch top class streamers who totally have everything prepared ahead of time~

Trying out the free Kamitsubaki horror VN that just came out, Haru to Kaiya. Very solid first frame as the cat looks down on you in disgust Friend texts you they're in trouble then sends a map to an abandoned mansion. As you arrive, you pass out, only to be woken by a cat and a strange girl

Enough people said they wanted to see the final slide deck, so I took the time to put it on my non-teacher github so I could share it. I didn't end up getting in trouble. I ended up being encouraged by a colleague to share it with my dept chair, and he liked it authorblues.github.io/lecture-slid...

Okay, so Half-Life's VR mod is surprisingly cool and makes the game feel way more creepy and immersive. Climbing an elevator shaft with "grab and pull to climb" is really nice and vertigo-inducing looking down and smacking a Headcrab is oh so satisfying It also lets you pet a Vortigaunt ❤️

(1/8) It's time for another English translation patch release for the FM Towns! This time, it's Queen Soft's "Gambler: Queens Cup", part graphic adventure romance sim, part horse betting sim (yes, you read that correctly). github.com/DerekPascare...

I've been given too much power~ If you told me a year ago I'd have enough Blender knowledge to make a tiny puppy, I'd have left you on read and hoped you went away. But now I have not only a fully-rigged OC, but a shoulder-riding friend to boot~ Go do the thing you think you can't do!

Important little guy in development~

oh no, ooooh no... if this is good, i might be lost for a month or several...
