Inganock of the Raging Flame from Liar-soft will be released in Q4 2026 in English! It will be the ReBORN edition of the game, in a full ultra 2k HD remaster!

I translated Inganock for @KagamiGames. This is an all-new English TL for an HD release of the game. I'm a fan of Sakurai's Steampunk games in general, but I think many people would call this one the "classic" in the series. Grateful I got the chance to work on it!

One more day until our super special announcement stream! I hope you're all looking forward to it 👀 https://t.co/EpcJ9JO3YA

Is there anyone, and I do mean ANYONE, left in charge of Localization at Microsoft? In their latest ad, their (presumably) garbage AI translated "I just got broken up with, should I get bangs?" to "I just got broken up with, should I kill myself?" SERIOUSLY?

Signalis review (spoilers) https://t.co/ShaN1PHWVE -Needed more inventory slots -10/10

Contractors on big projects far too often do not get what they need to do their job well in a timely way & then get blamed for delays or errors later Doesn't matter if they flag the issues immediately. They're outside the institution and therefore easy scapegoats

you're the reason the company exists and they spent more on the fake cherry blossoms than on you

Hope mahoyo doesn't get this kinda treatment, man...

the thing I honestly don't get is how people balance "masking inside" against getting ugly sick for like a week and decide the mask is more annoying

went to see a movie for the first time in like a year and instantly got covid that wrecked me for like 5 days, lol

All that's to say I support the @_UW7S effort & hope they are successful in building a more sustainable workplace for both their staff and their freelancers.

The pleasure of finding a perfect phrase fades under these conditions. A tricky line isn't an interesting puzzle, it's a nuisance to push past. The checks are the only reward, and they aren't proportional to the effort I put in.

Now I feel more like a human Translation Widget. Input Japanese, output English. Pass to overworked editor I rarely speak to. No feedback. More Japanese. 10 months later maybe a reader comments on a book I barely remember working on.

I used to really enjoy translating. I collaborated with others on projects I cared about & discussed thorny choices. I set my own schedules. When I finished something, I felt pride and loved seeing people react to my work.
