you know I was never one of those "I was into this before it was cool" type of people, but man, do I miss the old days before Japan was popular๐ฉ

After 13 years as first a contract writer, then a salaried writer, then a lead writer, then a senior writer at InXile Entertainment, I have been laid off. I had a great time while I was there, and I am sad to go, but as they say, every ending is a new beginning, so here's me, beginning again.

yeah, they should have used the slide instead of making a new graphic which just introduced the chance for an error - which I was willing to believe this was, although checking just now to see they never corrected the tweet...not great

my author page includes two collections of short stories that I wrote only one story in, it doesn't mean I wrote the whole book. seems like a silly thing to be mad about

yeah of course I can't really tell how it comes off to a viewer who hasn't read the source material so I have to defer to you on that. but I was surprised at how they reworked it

also IIRC the anime restructures the story a lot and gives everything away in like the first episode so there's none of the horror creeping up on you sort of thing

hmm, this is probably one reason the manga is better (other than that the manga is almost always better). You're not forced to sit there for ages just looking at goo swirling around, which is the least interesting part of it

you may jest but I swear that that was the perfect training for my current job of editing manga translations to fit better in speech bubbles

it is amazing how often things are urgent when in fact the deadlines are completely made up! the printer deadline is not an oncoming unpredictable natural disaster, management picked it!

I think it's more that there are fashions in book cover design and it feels like we have been stuck in this boring phase for YEARS.
It's frustrating sometimes that we are mostly not allowed to change the basic cover design for manga, but you know what, maybe it's just as well

I can understand that there are issues with the building but the implication that kids walking to school is a *problem* is just...ugh. not the words of someone I'd want to be in charge of fixing the situation.

It should be illegal to write a book where the main character is a writer. If that's the only idea you can think of for your protagonist's job, go out and have a life for a while and come back and write a book later

the latter I'm sure. when I was a writer I got PR pitches that were so laughably far from what I covered that it's hard to believe a human was involved (and this was BEFORE it might have been AI sending them). it feels like people in these kinds of jobs are paid by how many emails they send
