The "the other day" in my bio becomes increasingly strained under the weight of each passing month. I will never change it
even scientific stuff can have phrases that can't be neatly translated because of differences in how the concepts are taught in different countries. patents in chemistry might mention the term 結合手 meaning the point at which a bond can happen (either a spare electron or a need for an electron)

business translation is in an odd sort of place because on the one hand, the big multinational corps are the ones that can actually afford to spend money on translators, but on the other hand those same corps are always trying to cut their costs

I wrote more words about how it feels to be a translator watching the games press report on AI and labor, coming from a field that's fought these battles for decades. It may look like I'm beating up on one outlet, but it's not about them; I've been trying to write this for me and my peers all year.

sometimes i am tempted by Esoteric BlueSky Video Game Discourse of the Week to post a thing.

but it will amount to me writing the same thing: if you want interesting narrative design and theories, look up interactive fiction, visual novels, and ttrpgs.

they thought about it longer than you did.

Still looking for someone, haven't found a single person so far (that I can contact). I have a 46-episode script that I need translated. This would be a paid job!
Completely unrelated to my 2am doomposting but does anyone know an English to Japanese translator, ideally with experience in screenplays?

Six years ago, I wrote most of the Tragedian dialogue for Pathologic 2 in iambic pentameter. I'm back now doing the same for Pathologic 3. I figured it was helpful to write a guide on *how* I did it – in case I get hit by a bus and the team has to carry on without me.

Kasiori is half off in the sale - cute falling block puzzle game
It has an updated EN story translation, and—AND—now it has an option to exit the game without using Alt+F4!! What more could you want?

Kasiori got updated to version one point five on steam - it's now possible to exit the game from the options menu. Slightly surprised they're still updating it
