The problem isn’t that this is a job for humans being replaced by AI; the problem is that this work should not be done if the only way is with AI.
It’s worthless and destructive: these translations are like looking at history through a clownhouse mirror
Good translation shows respect to your devs, writers, and players around the world—and it boosts your profit and brand image, too.
AI slop translations make your brand and game look cheap and uncaring, and is a spit in the face of all the devs that worked hard to make your game.
It’s an honor to announce that I was the VO adaptation writer for Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection! It was a joy to spend time with these wonderful characters — the game brilliantly captures the breathless RPG awe I love. Thank you to @bangzoomstudios.com and Capcom for having me!

Huh!
huge respect for passing up an exciting project like this over principles.
it doesn't matter how awesome the game might be or how legendary the series is, no project is worth compromising on what you need to be secure.
Every time it comes up I just gotta remind people that it's extremely expensive to license filming in Shibuya, which the team making this game couldn't afford, so they filmed this game by stealing shots and running from the cops.
NO NO NO YOU DON’T

Ditto.
Now that it's out, I can finally share that I had the pleasure of working on the English localization of the wonderful Pokémon Pokopia alongside a fantastic team!
I've been waiting a looong time to see what people think of this one, and we are unbelievably proud of how it turned out!! HAVE FUN!

If you ever thought it was surprising that Nintendo named the Legend of Zelda series after the imperiled princess that only shows up at the end of the game... well, maybe they didn't.
If you’re verifying your identity with LinkedIn, you should be aware of the alarming number of companies your personal data – PII, biometric data, and other sensitive data – is being shared with many other companies and how they’re using your face to train their AI

The guide rules because it’s such early days for Nintendo’s American console operation. They just took the JP book and rewrote it, and where Japanese text appeared in screenshots they shrugged and put black tape over it
Zelda celebrates its 40th anniversary today and we still don't have complete credits for its box art. Minoru Maeda / 前田実, an animator at Studio Junio (founded by the late Takao Kōzai, artist on Punch-Out!!), presumably drew Link, but it was probably another artist who drew the background.
If you’re worried about the future of games, remember that your $ holds enormous sway. Support companies who actually care about the art and craft of making games, who put people first and value their employees & audiences. Support indies especially. The future doesn’t belong to greedy corporations
PSA for Discord's new age verification!
If you get hit by it and refuse to give them any ID or face scans as you should, here's a way to just... bypass it.
Go to Settings - Family Centre and then just enter a date of birth that's 18+
It's really that simple. Give them nothing.
