Guess I'll do a quick intro...
Hey, I'm Marche. Been in localization for a few years now. I work primarily as a J-E editor, but I dabble in writing and QA here and there too!
When I'm not working, I'm usually playing entirely too much FFXIV and seeking new creative outlets/sources of inspiration!

I hate the current state of XIV discourse, because while, yes, the harassment Sena Bryer has faced is unconscionable and should be condemned, mischaracterizing and hand-waving DT criticism as coming from a loud minority of transphobic/misogynistic players is a stunningly ignorant take.
FF14 being nominated for best ongoing in a year when I have seen its players do very little but constantly complain about a quality dip, with devs even copping to it, while Street Fighter 6 on a total tear not even getting a nod is making my head spin

Sitting here tonight thinking that I was so blessed to grow up in an era where games like Katamari Damacy stoked my imagination and opened my mind to entire worlds of new and interesting possibilities. I sometimes wonder if I would be where I am today if not for irreplaceable experiences like that.

I legitimately do not think it's possible for the Black Mirror writers to make any more "what-if" episodes that don't feel like something that's real and happening right now.

Am very much not a Product Designer, but god would I kill to work with Fangamer. Love 'em to bits; they're my go-to for video game merch. And honestly, it amazes me how things I bought from them nearly a decade ago are still in respectable shape. Wishing everyone w/ Fangamer all the best!

I'm enjoying Live A Live SO much. I just reached the penultimate chapter, and this game is a master class in keeping it simple while almost constantly trying new things--a feat that makes each chapter feel familiar yet wholly unique. This may just be one of the best RPGs I've ever played. Yowza.

The year is 2026. I slink my way through the artist alley at a crowded convention when a rat-like fragrance tickles my nostrils. My eyes widen, then quickly narrow as I whip my head from side to side in search of my prey, the words tumbling from my lips unbidden:
"I smell him... Emet-Selch..."
"I smell him... Emet-Selch..."

Uh... Well, on the plus side, my ultrasound didn't reveal anything life-threatening or bad enough to warrant emergency surgery.
But on the other hand, they weren't able to identify what's wrong. Sooo... Not much I can do right now except shrug and monitor my health for any sudden changes.

Please cross your fingers for me, y'all. Just got an ultrasound and am waiting for the results. Hoping it's not anything mega serious, but you never know.

Welp, back to the doctor for me tomorrow. I have reason to believe the infection I was fighting a little over a week ago has spread. I'm honestly just annoyed at this point. 🙄 Can I please just be healthy again already?

Working from home is awesome! ...Except for when you have a funeral to go to and you check your wardrobe and realize you don't have any clothes that are funeral-appropriate. 😓
One quick shopping trip later and at least my family won't try to bury me alongside the recently deceased now...

You don't need me to tell you this is yet more good money being burned after bad. But as someone who's worked with that QA team, I'll say they're unsung heroes who truly play a huge role in maintaining SE's reputation for high quality locs and to attempt to replace them with AI is deeply insulting.
Square Enix wants 70% of its QA work to be handled by generative AI by the end of 2027, in partnership with the University of Tokyo's Matsuo-Iwasawa Laboratory. https://bit.ly/4qKdyQR

Just finished watching Trash Taste's new video. Always really lovely to get a little peek behind the curtain at Creative Studio III, all the more so considering I feel like it's been a hot minute since they've shone a spotlight on XIV's sound, animation, and loc teams. Awesome stuff!

In the past twelve hours, I went from having a cancer scare (thankfully, it's not that) to falling down a flight of stairs.
Death can have me when it earns me, but that day is not today.

That... was the hardest I've had to work for a clear since my first ultimate. Dear god. That was /hard/. (Mostly because we had one of the worst comps possible for this fight.)

If savage is really releasing two days before Christmas, that is... going to be an absolute nightmare for a lot of groups, mine included. 🫠
We usually aim to clear by week 2, but with the holidays and people traveling and so forth, I'll be surprised if we're able to get much prog in before week 4.
