Photographers in Berlin!
I'm looking for someone who's available this Saturday (30 Aug 2025 in the late afternoon) to take photos of our event. We don't have a budget so I cannot pay (sorry) but I'd be happy to buy you food or drink. Let me know if you're interested!

Wizards has released a fantastic series of articles on the development of the #ffxmtg set and they've done a piss poor job of actually telling folks about them. So I will do them a favor and say that you should read this great article on localizing the cards! magic.wizards.com/en/news/feat...
Language, Storytelling, and Magic: The Gathering®—FINAL FANTASY™

Here are my two cents on GenAI in #gameloc. Because we can't let the BS peddlers destroy our industry from within, and silence is complicity. locdandloaded.net/2025/05/13/h...

A couple of years ago, a good friend* achieved their lifelong dream: After a decade of grueling agency work, they had finally secured an in-house localization job on a game they loved. This was a high...

In 2023 I did some photoshopping of Pikmins into different media for about 300 days over on Twitter.

A fantastic piece on FFXVI's approach to localization! I found it interesting how they handled item descriptions: As you can see, most languages followed EN, while FR basically rewrote the entire description and added a detail about the item being auto-used only while on quick access

Created a small Cloudflare Workers script for handling subdomains in custom handles: https://gist.github.com/IrealiTY/24f8eccbfe4386f9c5684c44390e5c46
Most won't need it, but in case you want to handle multiple domains it can be useful, let me know you need help setting up!

I forgot to share earlier, but The Japan Times wrote a piece about game localization and J-EN Translations was referenced! Thanks Eric Margolis.

Localizers have to grapple with challenging issues of tone and nuance. Even a simple 'thank you' may not be what it seems.
