oh no, take care of yourself! we're here for you!

Went to see the Chainsaw Man movie
I don't think I've seen something aimed at adults in theaters before, it's gory as always, but I enjoyed!

it's been one whole year since i registered as a full-time freelancer now!

there's been some dry spells, but things seem to be going pretty smoothly as of this one-year mark, i'd say it's been a productive first year

here's to continuing to not needing any company to make it out there...

bubsy 4d is actually fun
and even more impressive, i actually laughed at one of bubsy's jokes!

ah yeah, the original series does have a few moments like that. it's (in)famous with Japanese people too

after like half a year (100 consecutive work days, wooh) I finally got to the credits of DQ3. Huh, so it's a prequel... might consider checking out 1&2 as well then

def got a better insight into how this shaped the general RPG formula, and would be more than willing to check out future entires!

And after 5 days, I got it together again (still not 100% sure how but)

think you'll do pmw2 re-pac as well?

...why does DQ3 have armor that reflects your own allies healing spells? never seen something like this before, really threw me off

Some old advice about starting big projects (game translation projects in my case, but a lot of it is probably universal)

#gametranslation

After a lot of random fiddling, I somehow got it open.

Now for the second half of the puzzle... putting it back!

heh, no problem. his shadowy brother is cool too!

While at Pokémon Center Shibuya (for the codes) I noticed they had these metallic pokeball puzzles. I chose the master ball level one, so can't make heads or tails of it of course!

Goes very well with the Aegislash they had a few years back!

ahaha, thanks. yeah, i work in both directions!

oh yeah, and since i translated the sonic DLC stuff as well, does that count as having translated for sonic too...

if anything, the trickiest things were probably things only slightly tweaked. i had to ask the devs if this was just a renaming, or an entirely different thing

honestly, this was probably one of my smoothest sailing tasks ever XD

being a remake, having a wiki full of english language names, and plenty of playthroughs of the original game made it easy to find official terms or context for things.

New entry for my portfolio!
I did the base EN translation for PAC-MAN WORLD 2 Re-PAC!

It's been a long time in the making, so I hope you enjoy.
I'll definitely be playing it for myself as well.

oh right, it's your birthday.
happy birth!!

and not even 30. i swear, if i get confused for a high schooler in a few years time...

at tgs, my fellow translators were thinking i was 18...
funny thing is, a few years ago i was often confused for 19

how is this even possible? aging in reverse?

yeah, and similar stuff happened at TGS as well... I was so clueless working on it, lol

sooo i didn't realize how big of a deal Disco Elysium was until recently

umm, yeah, i did the Japanese LQA for the mobile port, for those of you who don't know.

might need to feature it more prominently in my portfolio, lol

Sonic Racing demo was pretty fun. A nice change of pace from Mario Kart honestly... def interested in checking it out. I think it appeals to core gamers a lot more too.

The Katamari demo meanwhile was too short for me to formulate an opinion on :/

Demo for the new katamari game too. They went all out for this booth

Waiting in line for the Sonic Racing Demo...

At TGS this year as well!

oh god, did i really stall on DQ3 for 5 months???
need to get back to it now that things are finally easing up...

Heck yeah! And day one Japanese support by yours truly!

who could have predicted virtual boy???
tho just the few seconds of footage made me nauseous, lol
