I spent an hour cooking up chicken in this basil cream sauce over pasta for the family dinner, and the lads both insisted on immediately dumping a packet of salmon furikake all over it. I mean. at least they're still eating it all, I guess.

I forgot to take a screenshot but I came across a line that was something like "if you keep sulking, moss is gonna start growing on you," which is both immediately recognizable to anyone that speaks JP and basically a non sequitur to anyone who doesn't.

Miho is giving me the whole day to do whatever I want, and it's such a bummer that even though there just so happens to be a new MTG prerelease this weekend I could go play in, it's for the Marvel collab set I couldn't care any less about.

6 figures (still) in debt and almost two decades spent learning Japanese just for my son to yell パパやだ whenever I use it to speak to him.

Congrats to all the nominees! I'm always excited to read through all the translation nominations.

wanted to draw this for ages

Happy summer! Here's my latest comic: Coffee Talk, a coffee shop meet-cute about mistaken identity. I made it in seven days, and it debuted at TCAF last week. Enjoy! (1/2)

Would not wish two sick two year olds on even my worst enemy.

I hate being critical of other's work, but the Aterlier Yumia translation has been a really illuminating example of a "fine, not great," which stings extra hard because, even with that in mind, I still failed a test for a koei tecmo project once.

Picking up Totoro, Ponyo and Kiki's Delivery Service from the library while the boys are sick with croup was such a pro move on my part. I'm still patting myself on the back.

With how long it's taking me to get through Aterlier Yumia, I should be done just in time to pick up the new one they announced for next year.

Desperately reminding myself I don't even have the time to play any of these cool games so I don't get bummed about being too broke to afford a Switch 2.

It's weird. P3 is one of my favorite games of all time, so I actually wasn't rushing to play the remake, especially with the FES stuff not included. Didn't feel necessary. P4 though is probably my least favorite in the series, so I'm almost more interested in playing that remake instead.

Really hope this is the last time the boys surprise me with fevers on a deadline day.

The Left Hand of Darkness

calling on law bluesky, abolition bluesky, I cannot stop thinking about this wild, honest look into who and what people think the law is for and what cops actually do

Wrote "some kind of monster" in a translation today and now that terrible snare plonk is ringing in my ears.

My favorite metal band are one-uping their last big fuckoff vinyl boxset that included literal fossils with certificates of authenticity by this time including a fold-out constellation tracker and hardcover lore book in their new one. Love it.

I've been playing the Adventures of Elliot demo and whoever came up with the premise of Zelda combat with a materia system is a goddamn genius.

Lol, I was thinking maybe saving up for a steam deck would be a better budget choice than getting a switch 2. Guess not! Should probably just start saving for a PS6 at this point.

Last year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero. Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn't well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone. I hope this video clears that up.

I made pancakes with blueberries for the boys, maple syrup and everything, and instead they're asking to eat sheets of nori for breakfast instead. Two year olds are so funny.

hurt?

this is the most millennial dad joke ever conceived

God, this sucks so much. It boggles my mind that someone with such a unique literary vision like Tokarczuk would wholeheartedly turn to the slop machine.

Left the boys at Grandma's for their first time sleeping away from home without us around, and after seeing Will for the first time in two days, he immediately says "no Papa go away." Thanks bud.

NEW SERIES ANNOUNCEMENT: The Story of the Moon Waiting for the Evening High schooler Yohana Sakaki lives in a town full of ghosts, spirits, and other ethereal beings, but she lacks any abilities. Soon, she learns that her destiny may have changed—but whether for good or ill, no one can yet say...

I hate that I had to google the watermark in the bottom, find the original post on twitter, and look through the poster's bio/socials only to find out this originated from some random influencer with no bona fides (that I can find anyway) and no cited source. Social media was such a mistake, man.

This is fun! Slightly increased bands: The Januarists Porcupine Copse Emperor Alkaline & the Alligator Alchemist The Jupiter Waltz Stoic PUSH OF TURKEY SHINYASOBI

Hampshire College in MA is closing, and staff and faculty are facing job loss with no severance pay. Staff have set up an emergency relief fund to directly help those with immediate needs. It's a real shame that it's closing to begin with, but hopefully enough word gets out to get

The power of the internet has been a real blessing and a curse for music, because while it's introduced me to bands across the world I would've never heard otherwise, it has also led me to becoming hopelessly into this Korean indie band that I will, more than likely, never get a chance to see live.

This has been so much fun to translate! I even got to spend an afternoon looking through old geocities nightmares just to make sure I nailed the vibe for Yako's Blog of Cringe. Hilarious little gremlin.

MII-CHAN WANTS TO BE KEPT Vol. 4 FINAL VOLUME! In this rom-com manga series, one man winds up with the purrfect woman after the stray cat he takes in suddenly transforms into a human. Out today in print/digital! See RETAILERS section: sevenseasentertainment.com/books/mii-ch...

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hell yeah, Obaachan sent the boys some shirts with that excellent Uncanny English phrasing Japan does like no other.

Hell yeah, I made it onto that ai haters blocklists. Glad to be part of the cool kids club for once.

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad (2004)

I'm getting the feeling that the Dynasty Warriors Origins OST isn't the right BGM for translating this gaggy romcom. 10:30 at night and I feel ready to charge through a wall and fight Lu Bu.

Not that I have the time to play anything, especially an open ended farming sim, but since the new HoloLive farming game has AyaFubuMiKo in it, I can totally write that off on my taxes right? *ahem* Be sure to pick up Holoearth Chronicles Side:E Yamato Phantasia from your local bookstore!

I have food poisoning for the first time in my life and would not recommend.

It sucks extra hard when the lads refuse to nap because not only is the rest of the afternoon a cranky shit show, but I also have to then rush up to the office after they're asleep to make up for the work time I missed out on. I'm tired.

Can your LLM determine the perfect number of "ums" and repeated syllables that should be used in English for a character that stutters 2-3 words every other line? Didn't think so, checkmate AI boosters.

read the news today

why the hell would i use DLSS5 when i could literally just do this instead

I need a vacation to recover from our vacation.

In retrospect, I should've known combining the boy's first night sleeping away from home with their first time sleeping in a bed was always going to be a shit show.
