For the first time since its inception, I'm happy to report that ALL nominees of #TheGameAwards include #TranslatorsInTheCredits! We've come a long way since the dark days of credit withholding, and none of this would've been possible without your support!

I was a freelance game translator going back to as early as 1995. That was before the term localizer even existed. In that time, I struggled as an individual and as a company to see justice arrive. I want to thank you and others that spoke out enough to finally push us over the edge.

I was really honored to be in this excellent series on the history and philosophy of horror gaming. Please take a look.

Oooh! Scary!!

The right to work in another country is a fundamental right??

Dear good people, if you rant against Musk for doing a Nazi salute, and you should, you can’t remain silent when things like this happen or you don’t care about antisemitism, only politics.

Is real Osaka not cyberpunk enough for ya? 🫵

Fed up with only finding metroids in your vanias, and instead want to uncover the truth of a forgotten past?

Well, we gochu homies - #BladeChimera is here, and available in 9 languages for some demon-smacking, ledge-jumping joy. ⚔️

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night’s notorious English translation didn’t need fixing The notorious localization effort is closer to art than a flub

My original article on Castlevania: SOTN's original English translation is up at @polygon.com!

Based partly on an epic zoom interview I did with Jeremy Blaustein, who is still living & translating in Japan.

No better here. Not. One. Bit.

By the way, a thing to celebrate:

David Corenswet’s the first Jewish actor to play Superman

Feels monumental, especially because the character was created by Jewish immigrants

Silent Hill Podcast #34 Donna Burke & Jeremy Blaustein Survival Horror Podcast · Episode

We often leave Raccoon City for a vacation in Silent Hill, and always find someone interesting in the fog...
Silent Hill translator/writer Jeremy Blaustein & Angela Orosco actor Donna Burke were our special guests on the Crimson-Head Podcast: open.spotify.com/episode/7mVA...

One of the very first games @hirokoyoda.bsky.social
and I worked on, under team leader @jblaustein.bsky.social
(now of @dragonbaby.bsky.social). I recall all of us getting so little dev support that Hiroko and I had to enlist a local Chinese restaurant to help us decipher some in-game terms.

I was involved.

Despite a lack of R’lyehian linguists it helped that @dragonbaby.bsky.social adheres to non-Euclidean logic and is drawn to the worship of Great Old Ones anyway…💦
