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.

The owner of this business is a old, wonderful friend & a former employer of mine, so please, I need all of my Pacific Northwest followers keeping an eye out for this stuff, especially if you run in nerd circles, so that his dream business, built via decades of grinding, can keep running.
KIRO 7 ran an article and two TV pieces on the theft of a box truck full of arcade PCBs, artwork, and machines from my workplace yesterday. If anyone in the Seattle area sees someone offloading a ton of CPS2/NAOMI/Neo Geo PCBs, stuff of that nature, please reach out.

I'm actually looking to pick up some more closed captioning/subtitle editing work to get me safely to the end of the month. If you are a content creator or work in other media, please leave a reply here if I can help you with this work, and I'll start DMs with you to talk about it some more!
I also use Carrd to host my subtitle editing and closed captioning portfolio. It's proven very useful.

Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage.

Anyone who’s ever used emergency contraception or gains peace of mind by even having it on hand owes Dr Camp a debt of gratitude. What a force.
(Also, I just learned one reason the FDA rejected it at first was that they said the name Plan B was too glib!)
