This means I am looking for work! If you need someone with social media/community expertise, please reach out.

It only took twentyish years, but I'm stoked to see comprehensive coverage of Simpsons video games from folks like @bartofdarkness.bsky.social and @glitterjaw.bsky.social!

I love 1) how much the writer seems to love his wife 2) how he describes Mario as "the little plumber from Brooklyn"
any excuse to repost the greatest Tetris story ever, when a reporter went to cover early e-gaming championships and discovered that his wife was unknowingly *the world's greatest Tetris player* by a huge margin

For those who don't know why some localization companies withhold staff credits, it's so:
1) devs who think loc staff did a good job won't hire them independently
2) other loc companies can't poach them
3) contractors can't find each other to compare notes
4) company brand is elevated above people

You've always got to ask localizers up front whether they will provide you with credits. We made this mistake before, also with localizedirect, which is reflected in the Hyper Gunsport credits from @necrosoftgames.com

There's also a character guide that features key art allowed for use in Simpsons merchandise and marketing materials. The Simpsons arcade devs went with "Crazy Skinner" to show up in the Dreamland level, even though it's supposed to be a hallucination of Bart's from the episode "Bart the Genius."

More VGHF points of interest. They have scans from a Simpsons style guide sent to Konami to specify how characters need to be drawn/shown etc. Very likely this was sent to other companies for things like merch guidelines. This key art was used as the title screen for Bart VS. the Space Mutants.
