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.

BREAKING: The House passed the so-called SAVE America Act which threatens to upend our freedom to vote.
The bill could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by requiring documents like passports or birth certificates to register to vote and forcing voter roll purges. The Senate must reject it.

Imma try and keep this short, but this is what i think is importantly historically. The 1960s civil rights laws and decisions were not technically "new legislation." it was a restoration of what already was.

In my experience, there are people who like dogs because they are treasured companions and family.
And then there are those for whom dogs are effectively the closest thing to a slave that they'll ever own.

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

They have great food and pies! I highly recommend them.
The new location is in Minami-Aoyama (close to Gaenmae).

Hello fellow linguists! I'm putting out this post to see if there are any JP to EN freelance translators who are interested on working on a relatively small Japanese game. Please leave a comment in this post or send me a message, and I can assist in getting you connected.

I really want people to think about this. After all the insane lawsuits, all the threats, all the bullshit weve seen from this admin and the targets who kneeled in fear, an average Joe called the president a Pedophile protector to his face and didn't get touched. That's the Power of a union.
NEWS: Ford worker who heckled Trump kept his job, got 'no discipline' on his record, UAW says.

UAW: Ford worker who heckled Trump kept job, 'no discipline' on record
The United Auto Workers union said TJ Sabula remains employed and called out the president for making an obscene gesture toward the worker.

Cmon now guys. If any Dem says anything besides shut down until this is all gone then there's no need for federal government at all. These are concentration camps. If you're too scared to say so then you're part of the problem.
In the last month ICE has bought warehouses in:
- Hagerstown, MD: $102 million
- Surprise, AZ: $70 million
- Hamburg, PA: $87 million
- Tremont, PA: $120 million
- San Antonio, TX: $82 million
- El Paso, TX: $123 million
- Social Circle, GA: price unknown
This is unprecedented.
