I was a translator on FFT - The Ivalice Chronicles!
Worked on the new/previously unreleased material. ‘Twas a sincere joy.

Oh, okay😌

Oh no. Clair Obscur is great and I can’t put it down. But WTF? Why does every track have to be a banger??? It’s unholy.

Oh god, seriously? My apologies. There is just something about the deliveries that trips me up. As you say, it has to be direction…or something? I’m sure there isn’t any one specific reason, but…

Resident Evil logic

For a game that’s all about “unaliving” thousands of soldiers in 10 minute bursts, Dynasty Warriors Origins is boring as hell. Gameplay is fab, but my god, these story segments… Po-faced people flapping their gums as they stand perfectly still in beige rooms does not make for an engaging story…

Now we are fucking talking!

Oh, it’s 11AM at the airport? Better order a margarita.

Because it's come up recently, a reminder that the Y2K bug wasn't overhyped. It was a huge problem and an huge number of people worked fast and hard and fixed it. Like the ozone hole.

It's not a lesson in overhype. It's a lesson in humankind's ability to cooperatively solve problems.

Nosferatu (2024)

Maybe I’m too picky (plus I’m coming straight from a PS5Pro, so…), but you can tell the game is fighting against the limitations of the hardware. It runs well, but it’s graphically not as impressive as it wants to be, which is a damn shame. The system is certainly cheaper than a kitted out PC, tho!

Finally read Notes on an Execution, and this quote is still ringing in my skull: “This was getting to her: Men like him, who believed their very existences afforded them lawlessness. Men who had been handed the world, trashed it, and still demanded more.”

Barring FFVII REBIRTH (for obvious reasons), the DQ3 remake is hands down my favorite RPG of the year. I cannot wait for the 1 & 2 remake. I suppose I’ll have to tide myself over with another round of DQ11!

I’ve been a DQ dabbler for most of my life, but this DQ3 remake threatens to make me an obsessive. I want more more more.

“What can I do for you? I can hear you!!!!”

Vote! (And make sure it’s for FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH)

Fiction really does have the power to change your life, if not the world at large. God bless the pieces of media that have given us hope for a better future, whether they be video games, movies, books, or TV!

At 100 hours, that’s a wrap on Metaphor. I thoroughly enjoyed it, much more than any Persona or MegaTen (both of which I’ve either struggled to get through/given up on entirely), and while the story-telling felt kinda “huh?” to me, the ultimate message was so powerful and so resonant.

Right??? It’s so baffling to me. And honestly, it wouldn’t even look that good for a Switch game? What the hell happened…?

AI (LLMs) is TERRIBLE at translation. It should never be used for client/audience facing work, especially entertainment translation like manga and games.

And I'm tired of misinformed people trying to cut corners with it instead.

Really, really enjoying Metaphor, but—and I just have to get this off my chest—goddamn is this game ugly. Its style and art direction largely hide the yucky bits, but this would make a first-Gen PS3 game blush…

Been a very hard day, so treated myself to a PS5 Pro (and also because I have more money than sense)

Skinamarink fucked me up. That was way too intense for a chill night in.

Dumb opinion, but Shadow of the Erdtree was too short. I just want more Elden Ring, like an insane amount of it. I want an endless supply. I want to explore, die, and triumph in FromSoft’s entropy until my brain leaks out my ears. I fucking love this game. Please don’t let it end.

I don't think it's possible to overstate my excitement at FINALLY being able to share that I worked on the localization of FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH alongside a team of lovely, talented folks (@lizbushouse.bsky.social @ryanosaurz.bsky.social, and many others!)

300 characters alone cannot express how proud I am of what we accomplished as a team. I’m over the moon. I hope y’all enjoy playing it as much as we enjoyed working on it.

It’s upon us—the release date!
I worked on the English localization of FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH! Calling this a labor of love would be an understatement. We worked so hard on this for a very VERY long time, and I think it came together beautifully. The acting, the writing—all of it is top notch.

In a “having trouble enjoying video games” slump lately. So many things I want to play/continue playing, but I just can’t find the motivation. Anyone else experience this? Got tips or tricks to overcome it??

I know a score shouldn’t make me this happy, but FUCK IT! I AM LEANING IN! I could cryyyyy
