Hey, out of this pile of movies, which ones should I do translation comparison articles about next? I've only done these two so far: legendsoflocalization.com/movies/

I re-read this article of mine the other day and forgot how much more I could still add: legendsoflocalization.com/articles/per... Someday I'd like to write about Japanese second-person pronouns (words for "you") but it'll be a bit tougher due to needing pairs of characters rather than individuals

@sanewonko.bsky.social Say, do you know what happens if your inventory is completely full and Golbez gives you the crystal to defeat Golbez? I thought I read something about it a long time ago but I'm not really sure what happens - does it maybe just get forced into some item slot regardless?

I'm not streaming a FFIV translation comparison today, but I'm still planning on finishing it up this week! If you're curious, the scores currently are SNES: -1097 J2e fan translation: -1317 Namingway fan translation: -1100 For more details, see legendsoflocalization.com/videos/final...

legendsoflocalization.com/articles/mov... I've been seeing posts about The Wizard, that Nintendo-centric movie from like 35 years ago So here's a look at the Japanese translation of the movie!

@clydemandelin.bsky.social Just saw this pop up on Instagram, I'm probably the 100th person to send it to you but thought it was pretty funny

My #WomensHistoryMonth edition of Localization Lore is up! Check it out to learn more about some of the ladies who were active in the J>E video game localization industry during the early 90s, including the origins behind "You spoony bard!"

This could almost be a 5-7-5 screenshot haiku just need to find a good 7 for the middle

Trying to stream on Twitch today but the dropped frames is too much so I'll just try to do it tomorrow instead, sorry everyone Tomorrow we'll be looking at some literary references in FF4 For now, there's a lot of cool stuff to read/see on my page here: legendsoflocalization.com/videos/final...

Food Fight is back and on Hulu?!? This was THE show from 2000 that made me who I am today It caused a death in Japan after it aired and then it was locked away forever, never to be seen again until now

Somtimes when I burp it sounds JUST like Master Belch in EarthBound, which means that now *I* am the master, Belch! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yl-g...

At the start of my streams, I tend to do mini-lessons about different topics Here's a look at some translation theory/concepts that non-translators might find insightful & interesting! youtu.be/axouPj58dms?... #translation

The last three books about the Choctaw language & culture that I've bought have *ALL* turned out to be just AI-generated junk🤬 It's genuinely infuriating to see this careless nonsense happening, as it dilutes the actual language and culture and makes it harder for me to learn about my own humanity

$30 Earthbound?? Sign me up…😮‍💨

If you want to know what it's like to be an actual human translator translating a video game by human hand www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

If you've been following my FFIV translation streams, I've re-created that world map rotation bug via a custom Game Genie code, here's how it looked back in the '90s when I got it to happen naturally a few times: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lHz... (Game Genie=DFDE-64AF, change "DF" for fun results!)

Earthbound knows how cops work #crt #earthbound #misterfpga #snes #retrogaming

I've always been fond of how poetic 散る "chiru" is, especially when it's used for the "noble death" meaning in Japanese entertainment

✨

The English word "yes" in Japanese can also mean "Jesus" legendsoflocalization.com/articles/mov...

Zelda is the talk of the town today so here's my contribution to the party! legendsoflocalization.com/articles/zel...

What if Super Mario Land... looked more like Super Mario Land 2? #pixelart #gameboy

I finally made a page for my FFIV project: legendsoflocalization.com/videos/final...

Earlier today during the FFIV stream I briefly mentioned the potential Choctaw origin for the word "okay" - here's a more detailed look if you want to read deeper: bymyart.wordpress.com/2008/07/09/t...

Lots of Zero Wing talk today, so I'll drop these here too! ● ZERO WING had 32 secret endings in Japan only! legendsoflocalization.com/comparisons/... ● A QUICK LOOK at Zero Wing's intro text in Japanese & English legendsoflocalization.com/comparisons/...

If you miss any of my Twitch streams about Final Fantasy IV, I also put them on YouTube: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... If you like retro games, Japanese, programming, or just being human, I think you'll like these streams

very thankful to be hiring – threading the 3 positions we've currently got open! RTs always appreciated~ www.fangamer.com/pages/jobs

We have stuff like this in English, like the word "bad", but I'm curious to know what other examples in English there are + what other examples there are in other languages Let me know!

If you've been following my FF4 streams, here's that handy PDF about translation & localization things for reference: cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/00... #translation

yo this is an insane piece of merch to make. a puzzle for absolute psychos.

Ace Attorney fans did their own stopgap translation for A.A. Investigations 2 because an official release seemed impossible at the time. 10 years later it happened & fans respect both versions Someday, I hope Mother fans will think the same of an official translation of Mother 3 vs. our own stopgap

Some decades ago I translated an #anime series called Speed Grapher. It's about ultra-wealthy elites and ultimate corruption. It gets really crazy and intense. I think about it often, especially these last few days. (check it out if you're interested - it's definitely not for kids though!)

I think about this line sometimes

This bad-yet-strangely-funky song from James Bond Jr. #SuperNES is like rediscovering that old Cheetahman song again, plus it's definitely a day-brightener In my younger times I would've held a music remix contest or something 🍅 youtu.be/WRp6FozSamw?...

Frustration: I'm trying to find the Koasati #NativeAmerican word for "sweat" but... 1. Google AI snippets are CLEARLY unreliable 2. The dictionaries I want to check only have PDFs on major piracy sites, which is a sad state of affairs 3. The Internet Archive only offers like 1 page out of 600

The kiosk demo of Mario Kart DS contained "Flesh Trucks" due to a spelling error. While the error was fixed in the final version, looking at the preview image for GCN Mushroom Bridge very closely shows that the truck still has an L. As such, the memory of the Flesh Truck remains.

📣 Big news: Shinra Archaeology Cut is now available for the PS1 version of FFVII! With this patch developed by HitByBricks, you can update your existing ROMs and enjoy FFVII with the SAC retranslation applied. (Note: this is Vanilla Mode only, with no restored content.) www.romhacking.net/hacks/9352

it is done almost a year later Paper Chrono Trigger is done proper photo session this weekend made from bristol paper, cardstock, sketchbook paper, toilet paper, & matboard (Also bit of clear resin, colored gel, LED strip, & microLEDs)

I made this video very long ago and forgot about it, but now it seems to be the most viewed video I've ever made 🍅 Thank you, Giygas and Pokey! I will serve you forever and ever www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bmyo... #earthbound

It’s CES week! Perfect time to share some Earthbound footage from the show floor (31 years ago) youtu.be/NFG1FcnFTKI?...

Still working on this #FFIV translation thing to stream someday Originally, I wanted to study the old fan translations and get screenshots, but after some tests, it seems like it'd make more sense for me to play & read the original Japanese aloud Not sure anyone would find that entertaining though

One of the save slots in the WCES ‘95 Earthbound demo was called “EVENT HIGHLIGHTS” (the other three were empty for attendees to use). Sadly the guy who was playing when I was taking video got as far as highlighting it but he never selected it… @obscuremother.bsky.social @clydemandelin.bsky.social

Just digitizing some old videos. Did you know SNES Earthbound used to have a different title screen? (Did anyone know this?)

Liquid, Solid and Gas.

"Due to the crisis, the Defending-The-Earth-From-The-Outside Organization never found the time to come up with a better name for themselves."

It's sad seeing Nintendo give up on EarthBound literally just *months* after release www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y13t... but at least it makes some cameos in some background shots
