element of ending scene only made clear by an illustration in a postcard handed out at TGS. there was a sample of the illustration online but the actual postcard had a subtle but crucial difference (iykyk)
After "film trilogy that dropped a critical plot point exclusively via timed Fortnite event" and "video game series whose story only makes sense if you're aware of the events of a canon pachinko machine", I feel like there are whole frontiers of user-hostile narrative design waiting to be explored.

I don't know which of my kouhais need to hear this, but because I'm seeing this in a ton of commercial J>E game locs: you really shouldn't retain quotation marks in the same places as the Japanese source text 9 times of 10, especially outside dialogue. Punctuation parity in general is often sloppy.

even scientific stuff can have phrases that can't be neatly translated because of differences in how the concepts are taught in different countries. patents in chemistry might mention the term 結合手 meaning the point at which a bond can happen (either a spare electron or a need for an electron)

business translation is in an odd sort of place because on the one hand, the big multinational corps are the ones that can actually afford to spend money on translators, but on the other hand those same corps are always trying to cut their costs

I wrote more words about how it feels to be a translator watching the games press report on AI and labor, coming from a field that's fought these battles for decades. It may look like I'm beating up on one outlet, but it's not about them; I've been trying to write this for me and my peers all year.

sometimes i am tempted by Esoteric BlueSky Video Game Discourse of the Week to post a thing.
but it will amount to me writing the same thing: if you want interesting narrative design and theories, look up interactive fiction, visual novels, and ttrpgs.
they thought about it longer than you did.

Look carefully at the red and blue signals, and DESTROY them. It's an eccentric action puzzle game where you destroy blocks modeled after pedestrian traffic lights.

Still looking for someone, haven't found a single person so far (that I can contact). I have a 46-episode script that I need translated. This would be a paid job!
Completely unrelated to my 2am doomposting but does anyone know an English to Japanese translator, ideally with experience in screenplays?
