Introduction time!

I'm Richard "Pocky" Kim (I've had the nickname since 1995).

I've been in localization (games and anime) since 1999, and also have experience as a game designer, producer, and live operations manager.

I'm a huge Granblue Fantasy fan, and love games and anime in general.

Liam was not the only child being harmed. He was not the only child being starved or left to die.

Not about Magic today. Something more serious. Because silence in the face of worrying trends is not something I wanted to be remembered for. Just a short week ago Trump administration revoked a ruling from 2009 that greenhouse gasses endanger public health. 1/15

I really can't recommend this PC-FX dungeon crawler enough - it annoys me how little love and recognition it's had over the years (especially as a PS1 port's also available):

US (potential) Customers:

I know the shipping/tariffs stuff is really confusing right now. But recently I have had some people contact me directly through DMs to get orders made and answer questions along the way. I invite anyone to do this. With sales so down recently, I've got plenty of time LOL.

I was in Japan in 1996 for school, and in a friend's hotel room, chilling out until dinner time.

We were watching the anime on the TV.

Me, to my friend: "You know, I don't know if this would do well in the U.S. I think it's a little too Japanese."

To this day, I feel silly for saying that.

Look, all I'm saying is that if you just spent the last six years being frustrated with Durbin and you think there's a chance he's about to be replaced with a guy who thanks ICE for their service and takes AIPAC and crypto money, you should treat it like a very serious emergency
