I don’t have many words to spare for socials these days, but I do take a fair few photos. If you’d like a window into my wanders through Tokyo and beyond, that’s most of what you’ll find here 😊

Let's not let them just normalize this - at Denkiworks we don't use generative AI at all.

It’s a bit hard for me to put into words just how very much this project meant to me, but if you know me at all, you probably understand. Echoing Jon’s sentiments below in expressing big love and gratitude to everyone involved. This game is genuinely a blast and I hope you’ll check it out! 💚
Extremely proud and honored to have been part of the 8-4 team on Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment as an English Translation Producer and Editor! Huge huge thank you to Nintendo, @thehalpnetwork.bsky.social, and all our incredible voice actors for helping us bring this story to life!

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.
OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Reminder: if you are worried about AI replacing you as an artist: don’t use AI voices,
If you don’t want composing to be handed over to AI: don’t use it to write text.
You get the idea.
If you value your job: protect others jobs too.

This is one of the coolest things we've got to do since starting @denkiworks.bsky.social. It was really rad that such a large partner were so interested in what we are doing here and with TANUKI... that they'd want to support us and make a documentary about it!

Addicted to Rematch for moments like this.
Down a goal with seconds left, 12, 11, 10. Everybody wants the ball but you’re the one who has it. Can you be a hero? Why the hell not.

Dear me, I was…is out today!
Took me about an hour to play in full. It’s light on interactivity but packs real emotional punch, and good god is it gorgeous. A real triumph in textless storytelling—and only $8! It’ll be in my head and my heart for a long time to come.
