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™
Making Magic: The Gathering—FINAL FANTASY wasn't just a colossal effort for designers, it also took the combined effort of several translators.

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...
The Human Cost of AI
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!

It's that time again! Here's whether #TheGameAwards 2024 nominees (GOTY/Indie categories) include all #TranslatorsInTheCredits

Happy to report the situation has dramatically improved over the last few years, but these don't show the whole picture of #gameloc crediting state...
