OH, Look! Another game translated by magic!

This right here is quite dangerous in these times. Why? By erasing us translators from our jobs it makes it easier to replace us with GenAI.

We've always been invisible. That gave them a leverage in introducing MTPE and lowering our rates.

what am I supposed to do now? use semicolons?? like a goddamn english major?

If you don't want gen AI in your manga, anime, game, and light novel translations, now is the time to make your voice heard. Write to your favorite publishers and developers and ask if they are incorporating LLMs into their process. And most importantly, tell them you will vote with your dollars.

Light Novels are already being pirated with machine translation. Publishers have been beaten to the punch — and will need human translation to earn their readers’ dollar.

A very good read. Sad to hear what is going on in the subtitling world.

Red to blue! Great game, played it earlier this year :D

Important:
I am still thinking about I'm In Love With the Villainess so much
I'm currently reading through volume 3
Rae and Claire are so cute together!

Why does it look so sus. This is like some back alley entrance. What depraved nonsense do yonder halls hide

Had this happen to me at Eternal Weekend :D

Good stuff
