Very proud to announce that I was an editor on Super Robot Wars Y. Plot- and dialogue-wise, it's a very cool game, and the localization team did a great job at handling the text for it. Hopefully everybody enjoys it—I know I'm looking forward to the parts I both did and didn't work on.
im not a fan of this game's JP font (at least when displayed on a sizeable display) but it took me a distressingly long time to parse that それ以外

People really underestimate just how fucking cool Tetsuo Hara actually is. He is almost blind and it is about as effective against his drawing as a wet napkin against Kenshiro's iron chest. He funds children's hospitals. He said AI will never win because it can't be prepared to die like a human.
Tetsuo Hara drew these to commemorate his having filed his tax return using his smartphone. Notice how he drew both of these on the same day despite no longer really being able to see particularly well. Stuff like this makes me even more irate that the upcoming TV series will be in crap looking 3DCG

Never forget: After executives almost sank the Sonic The Hedgehog movie by giving its main character a disturbing human child body and realistic teeth, they called in The Fixer to rework its art direction.

That man: Tyson Hesse. Creator of Nipples The Enchilada. The man who saved the Sonic movie.

Just gonna say since we're already talking about unionizing game writers: hey, maybe let us localizers in on those talks, too, because it's pretty fucking rough out there, even in AAA. I'd probably have three times as many credits if we were unionized and I'm one of the lucky ones with any at all.
Nioh 3, developed by Koei Tecmo and localized in 11 languages, does NOT feature any #TranslatorsInTheCredits. A few members of Localization staff are included in the LQA credits, but none of the actual translators are credited. Source: GamersPrey

good reminder that there is always a first time someone encounters something in their life and when it happens it is not about personal intelligence or ability but just access, pure happenstance, and the entropy of the universe
