Efter att några dagar ha brutit ihop av stress och panik har jag nu tagit mig samman och har gått igenom 100 av drygt 300 seriesidor för att lösa alla krux. Mysterium som jag inte kan lösa själv med lexikon eller andra resurser får sambon ta sig en titt på (han är en fena på research).

Jag hade tänkt ta en sista flygtur genom Anthems tjusiga värld, men det har redan stängts ner... 🥺

Första utkastet av nuvarande översättning klart. Hundratals konstigheter att slå upp och grunna över. 95% måste skrivas om. 300+ sidor att textsätta. Ljudord ska översättas och formateras. Kan tillkomma extra översättningar. Men nu existerar hela inlagans översättning åtminstone! 🫠😭🫨😵‍💫

Att översätta japansk fantasy är så här: 42 sidor med endast 28 ord som behöver slås upp, vissa mest för att dubbelkolla betydelsen. 5 sidor med 53 ord som behöver slås upp & i vissa fall diskuteras med sambon. Många ord saknas helt i ordböckerna. Några ord saknar helt svensk motsvarighet. 😭

Gör nyårsstädning i datorn… Jösses vad den hade grott igen! 😅

Hoping you all have a warm, light filled Longest Night from my little family to yours

Efteråt kom några av de svåraste sidorna i hela boken… 😭

Dagens ord: Sammelsurium! Hoppas att det överlever korrekturet nästa år! 😌

Översätta Nausicaä är typ så här: 80 sidor med massor av text om världsbygge, förskuggning, vetenskapssnack, research, osv tills jag nästan lipar av stress för att det går med snigeltempo. 😭 Sen plötsligt 30 sidor i sträck med action med enstaka repliker per sidan. 🤠 Känslomässig bergodalbana! 🙃

Dreamed of being a translator and work with books, became a book seller, then a critic and essayist, finally managed to become a translator but then the manga business faltered. Worked in a cinema for several years, expanded my education a few times, eventually was offered translation jobs again. 🥹

Thinking about the DAV lineup of companions and realized that this might be the group with the most weirdo-nerds(affectionate). And then also wondering if thats why some people bounced off of them because they did not hang out with the weirdo-nerds in school like I did asfdkjlfhsad

DAV: a bunch of book-club nerds (including a 10,000-year-old debate-club kid) vs. a jock-nerd and his goth-nerd sister (that one girl who enjoyed dissecting things in science class).

[Ongoing thread] New Stargate TV show We knew it was coming! "Amazon MGM Studios has greenlighted another series based on popular MGM IP, giving a series order to Stargate for Prime Video. The new installment in the classic sci-fi franchise comes from Martin Gero, a Stargate veteran and...."

Finally all of the inner senshi are complete! It will be a while before starting the outers

In the Name of Venus

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

I continue to believe very strongly that a person's reaction to generative AI is directly correlated to whether it presents any existential risks to your craft. This is why senior engineers and CEOs are so psyched about it, and artists and writers are rallying against it.

“Don’t gather some of the most brilliant activists in the industry, treat us like crap, and then expect us to do nothing about it.” After the Game Awards cancelled its Future Class programme, @alyssamerc.bsky.social talked to its former honorees www.theguardian.com/games/2025/n...

spoke with the inimitable @alyssamerc.bsky.social for this piece. thankful for journalists like alyssa who treat our stories with the utmost care and speak truth to power. disappointed by how things have turned out but not surprised. thankful for the amazing people i've met through the program. <3

Fandom these days seems to perceive fiction as a sort of psychic accounting of some perspective on a theoretical world that exists, intrinsically complete, coherent, and causal, as opposed to art made by humans with conscious intent to express ideas and emotions and theme.

Fans have managed to decipher one of BioWare's Mass Effect 5 teases and found concept art of a civil war in the Mass Effect universe. https://kotaku.com/mass-effect-5-n7-day-bioware-blog-teaser-url-krogan-2000642122

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

A new mass effect postcard for a new N7 day. Have a good one, friends ♥️ #n7day #n7day2025

To those who fight for the Milky Way, and those who dream of far-off galaxies... Happy #N7Day 💙 (MEA concept art is by Brian Sum) #masseffect #masseffectandromeda #n7day2025

Så mycket att göra i november! Inga egna skrivprojekt i år… Försöker komma ikapp med hushållsarbetet, som halkat efter… 😬 Måste bli klar med ett par översättningar, så att jag kan ha gott om tid till nästa Nausicaä, som tar sjukt lång tid! Förra året började jag i december, vilket blev snävt… 😱

Some lovely, and much appreciated, coverage of Malys! www.pcgamesn.com/malys/out-no...

His was an incredibly rough story, hope he's at peace.

Roomba should have been a warning.

Extreme crunch is how bad leadership cosplays at productivity. Nothing they're making can be more important than people getting to live their lives outside of management's sphere of control.

🔥 Malys is OUT NOW in 1.0! 🔥 For a game about demons, you've all been absolute angels - thank you for your support along the way & we're so happy to share Malys' full release with you 🖤 Check out the launch trailer and then get exorcising below!

Hey, Japan elected its first woman PM! Cool! Let’s check her out. “Hardline conservative Sanae Takaichi is an acolyte of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and an admirer of Britain's Margaret Thatcher” … oh 😬

Steam's new Steam Deck Verified landing pages look great and this is also a great time to buy Dustborn — whether you play on the Deck or not — because there's a week long deal on Steam! It's ridiculously cheap so go ahead and grab it now and let me know what you think.

Wanna enjoy one of Japan's signature dishes but still stay halal? Most ramen contains pork, as well as alcohol to preserve the noodles. These five ramen shops in Tokyo, though, go above and beyond to create a bowl that any Muslim can eat. buff.ly/g1hpyKZ

If you're wondering why you're seeing One Piece flags at protests today, @shineyezehuhh.bsky.social has you covered! aftermath.site/one-piece-fl...

I can't express how happy this makes me. What a wonderful project! Thank you so much to @bridgitconnell.com for bringing Paper and Steel to life so beautifully. Please check out the full audiobook version on YT and give it some love! #DragonAge www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcAd...

it’s that time of year again 🍂🍃

Oh here’s an old She-Ra piece I never posted bc it’s wonky as hell but I still like that butt

My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking? Me, the sales manager at the company that makes inflatable frog suits: well, you're never going to believe this, but

OMG! So in love with this commission of my OC Wren Mercar & Neve Gallus. They look so amazing & were drawn by the lovely & talented @debhols.bsky.social #DragonAge #NeveGallus
