Randomizer is always fun

I’m gonna play Leaf Green too

My daughter is here!!! ❤️ (In case you didn’t know, hi I’ve been a Yuki Kaai stan since 2009)

The cover of The Complete Persepolis by Marianne Satrapi.

Now would be a good time for anyone who wants to learn about recent Iranian history to read this. It is well worth your time and money (I am sure your local library has it if you don’t want to purchase it).

Can confirm, takes about this long and the best-paid translators only make about $1,000 per volume.

Editors make less per volume; I’m not sure about Letterers.

It’s not that expensive to get a good localization of a manga volume.

Don’t let them forget that.

Not sure why I suddenly gained a handful of followers, but it’s nice to meet you! I’m admittedly not super active on here, but I’ve been trying to post more!

Silver and Gold - Full

Happy 30th Pokemon!

Serebii Update: Official artwork of Pombon

Details @ serebii.net

You know, I hated Scarlet/Violet and thought the two Legends games were mediocre, but I’m optimistic for Winds and Waves. Releasing next year instead of this year gives them a little more time to develop it, so I’m hoping it’ll be good!

(Also, I would die for Pombon)

I recently got into uncrustables, and now I’m out here catching strays from my boyfriend 😔

Over my dead body 😤

The snow on my island finally melted!

Wow, I just saw the dog and monkeys thing recently in a translation and thought “Huh? Is that supposed to be like cats and dogs?”

Happy birthday! That looks like a lot of fun

That’s so scary…

Congrats! 🥳

Wtf! Are you okay?

I really don’t get why Pokemon is porting FRLG to the Switch. Why not add it to Nintendo Switch Online along with the rest of the Pokemon GB/GBA library? Their choices continue to baffle me

(I mean, I know why—it’s so they can charge $30 for a port…lol, lmao even)

It’s always nice to see visible improvement! When I look at some of my first official edits, I think “Why did I do that?!”

Bruh I was struggling with understanding ~んです last week, so my teacher pranked me this week by covering her head in bandages and freaking me out. She’s like “You can ask どうしたんですか in this scenario” 😭

So much for the tolerant left huh? 😔

Snacking

Happy to announce I’m editing this! 🥳

My Five Do’s and Don’ts of Game Translation - J-En Translations I came up with my five do’s and don’ts for game translation in a recent discussion with other translators, editors and project managers.

Had a fun exercise at a recent translator meetup, "what are your do's and don'ts of translation?" I decided to focus on game translation and share them here.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

I was feeding my tank when I spotted a baby! The peppered corydoras (big guys in the video) lay a ton of eggs!

Brought to you by me currently struggling to find a good rain video that isn’t too soft (not relaxing enough) and also isn’t inexplicably just other water sounds instead

Why do I like to listen to rain sounds to help me sleep, yet lose my mind when I hear water flowing/trickling? Such an auditory ick. 😷

You would get a lot of moments like this as a result:

Love interest: *earnestly speaks about their disillusionment with life/society/etc and why they want to die*

Protagonist: “you said you wanna”

HUH???
