Castlevania The Adventure Rebirth is so good and the fact that it is marooned and totally unavailable is yet another argument against digital only
I am so into EverQuest Legends. It's great to revisit that game, and the system changes they made legit have the same flavor as FFXII Zodiac Age-- three classes mixed and match at once, lots of customization and interesting decisionmaking... Super duper fun. THE FROGTOR IS IN
JPY to USD... catastrophic numbers here. be well, friends paid in yen!
I had the unbelievable pleasure of naming and translating Vivi and Grandpa's Memories for the Sky. Final Fantasy IX means so much to me and being trusted to lay a single brick in its foundation along with the great folks at SQEX Books is a true career highlight.
made these lavash wraps with all homemade fillings. A cashew herb spread, carrot and cabbage with lemon sesame dressing, crunchy baked spiced cannellini beans, and homemade pickled jalapeño and onion ridiculously delicious
this bad boy can fit so many point and click adventure games [streamed to my TV]
the added dialogue in Ivalice Chronicle is sometimes a bit pacy, but man the localization team absolutely nailed the WotL spirit with it, especially the Lucavi dialogue
Screenshots don't quite do it justice but Xenoblade 3 looks great with boost mode. Still not as great as a genuine Switch 2 update but muuuch improved.
Now that it's out, I can finally share that I had the pleasure of working on the English localization of the wonderful Pokémon Pokopia alongside a fantastic team! I've been waiting a looong time to see what people think of this one, and we are unbelievably proud of how it turned out!! HAVE FUN!
me when i'm digging through resources files in two versions of a game to try and figure out who on the dev team made a given audio sample
VGHF's new magazine drops on the digital library enabling me to relive true 3-D HORROR!
"hey let's check in on the yen" i am so sorry, my full-time freelancing friends, jfc
if clair obscur hadn't swept it for me (and I finished this sooner), silksong would absolutely be right near the top spot. what a fucking game. fantastic finale. also like, extremely good dialogue writing? music, level design, mechanics, game feel, aesthetics, writing... top to bottom 10 out of 10
lol, i do not think I have played a single game on my ps5 this year
