Iโ€™m p sure the easiest way to get media localized faster would be to raise rates for external contractors so they can dedicate more time to individual series and hire more people on the other end of the process (typesetters/etc for manga, programmers for games, etc) to reduce those bottlenecks

What are you supposed to do when people already decided your game is dead on arrival? Can they even do anything to "make it right" at this point?

Guess if I believe what Trump says we Venezuelans are just cockroaches. I still can't believe there's people back home thinking he's some kind of liberator for our country... And all I can do is sit and watch as the family I have left back home gets squeezed even further.

Here's the good news: though the workers 'making' these AI locs can't do much to stop them, WE, THE CONSUMERS, CAN.

Email them. Cancel your subscription. Call them and complain.
Be a Karen. Tell them they have lost your dollar.

Workers secretly want this. They want consumers to riot.

It's almost scary how the bigger it got the harder these tech ghouls tried to "disrupt" it all with their shitty mtl and now ai.

You Can't Report on Hunger While Taking Bread Off the Table On the proliferation of machine translation in video game outlets covering the effects of AI on labor.

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.

Crunchyroll is destroying its subtitles for no good reason | Daiz.moe With the Fall 2025 anime season, Crunchyroll demonstrates zero respect for anime as a medium as the presentation quality of its subtitles reach an all-time low.

New article on โ˜… daiz.moe โ˜…

Crunchyroll is destroying its subtitles for no good reason
daiz.moe/crunchyroll-...

A ton of research and effort went into this one. This is the article to read to get to the bottom of Crunchyroll's subtitle changes!

Replies here will show up as comments (eventually)

Which reminds me Time Stranger is definitely the best translation the series has ever gotten... which is kind of sad.

Not so hard as buggy and completely nonsensical when it came to it's translation. You can barely tell what they're talking about, let alone hard evolution requirements.

They'll deliver value to the shareholders! And then they will sell off whatever is left of the videogame side after they sucked all the money out of it.

As an instructor, I'd rather see your fever dream, No Doze-fueled 4AM essays written at an IHOP rather than anything generated by an LLM.

Hope this helps

Hanataba o Kimi ni Okurou: Kinsenka is out

Scenario: Urushibara Yukito (IroSeka, SakuMoyu)

"The human heart is but a vessel for pain"

Doomed to be mangled and desolated by grief, a group of young exorcists strive for whatever happiness they can find beneath the unwaning sunset

When rightwingers boycott something you can tell they were never going to play it. Like you will almost verbatim always get the same post in a qrt:

"I was gonna play [some game], but your [wokeness or something] has made me decide to never play it. Shame on you"

It's ALWAYS structured like that
