『I Write Games Not Tragedies 叫べ青春』(Steam)がリリースされました!エモで、ゴスで、クエスチョニングで、アディクションな青年アッシュの半生を描いた胸熱ビジュアルノベル+リズムアクションです。マツリカゲームズさんサポートのもと、自分が日本語訳/LQA担当しています。ぜひ🎸🎤�
本作は「00年代、英国エモ音楽にのめりこんだボクが大人になるまで」を描いた作品です。ポップカルチャーに長年涵養されてきた者として、思わず感情移入してしまう描写がたくさんありました。ぜひプレイしてみてください!

Books in translation cannot even exist without translators, and we all live under capitalism, not just publishers, so honestly, it’s insulting that financial success is not shared with us.
Just my translations of #Uketsu on a list of Indie bookshop bestsellers, alongside (above?) Richard Osman and Stephen King #books is all.

It's killing me that I don't get royalties for US sales... 😭

「排外主義者たちの夢は叶った」という衝撃的な書き出し。

極右政党が野党第一党になり“嫌韓“女性総理大臣が誕生した近未来を描き話題になった作品。
刊行は2020年3月、連載開始は2018年。

この小説が描くような排外主義が蔓延る世界が決して現れない望みを託し書かれた作品です。

ただいま写真の帯を付けて重版中。

Issue 003: Undersong | Out 13.09

Something is rekindled in the grainy late-night livestreams of the Eras Tour. A fisherman wakes to sing back the dead. A disillusioned thirtysomething finds solace in piano renditions of the Beatles.

I Write Games Not Tragedies Is Exactly The Glorious Emo Cringefest It Sounds Like
It’s about the cringe of looking back at your cringier, younger self, but also the heartbreak of having to fix yourself.

editing a machine translated text is pure drudgery and takes more energy than actually just translating from scratch.
Let the machines edit if they're so clever (they are not)
How depressing. Was contacted about a possible book translation last year. Today they got back in touch to ask if, instead of translating the book, I'd be interested in editing the machine translation.
I am SO BORED of talking about AI. It's BORING. Give me work and cash!!!!!!
