Hi there!

I'm a faithful J>E translator. Not a localising vandal.

If you leave a comment on a tweet and I don't reply, I'm sorry. Twitter isn't showing most replies to me these days.

Have a cheerful Miku for reading this pinned tweet.

I've had this Miku as my avatar since 2011. She's the "ouen" Miku, created in response to the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake.

@Popiaeus Bit of both actually. Don't know when that will change =/

[Matt | ... | Beyond tired @bansama]

So little time for anything right now... So this is about as far as I've gotten in Pragmata. U___U

@JohnnyboySP Honestly didn't know Naughty Dog had made so many games. =P

[Matt | ... | Beyond tired @bansama]

@JohnnyboySP Well, I'm alive! Just busy... worn out... eyes playing up... getting older... and so on.

[Matt | ... | Beyond tired @bansama]

This still a thing T___T
Which is also while I'm around here much less.

[Matt | ... | Beyond tired @bansama]

Life has decided to shaft me once again. So there will probably be no Moonrune Saga stuff this month.

Sorry T___T

@JohnnyboySP Unless they decide to shower it with presents and alcohol, they're making the wrong choice.

This is what happens when all the (US-located) platform holders cannot tell the difference between a grown ass woman (flat chest or otherwise) and a five year old girl.

CEO of Japanese sexy game company says depicting adult women with small chests has become “risky,” which is why all their characters are extremely well-endowed

I'll be back with more WitchSpring R Tonight.

ETA is about 8:30 PM Central which is a bit later than I started yesterday.

[Matt | ... | Beyond tired @bansama]

@JohnnyboySP Won't be around to see it, but have a good one!

@paddysaidingbar @zkurishi It only exists today to provide employment for retiring bureaucrats. And I'm not joking.

[Matt | ... | Beyond tired @bansama]

Because of NDAs I cannot tell you what series it is. But it's not exactly a niche title.

[Matt | ... | Beyond tired @bansama]

So to prep for an upcoming translation I had to read all previous PUBLISHED volumes of a certain title. And every single volume contained 20+ obvious mistakes and about 30+ more that had butchered the Japanese. People are paying to read these and they're objectively garbage.

And yeah, the various "isekai" themed stories I have in various stages of progress all feature a struggle. Characters who can power through with ease aren't interesting to write.

[Matt | ... | Beyond tired @bansama]

Personally, I'd say the problem isn't "isekai" so much, rather that everyone pretty much only writes the most obvious power fantasies now. Go back to stories where characters must struggle and don't instantly have a deus ex machina gimmick to solve everything.

Kadokawa cites excessive reliance on the isekai genre as one of the major causes of the decline in profitability in its domestic publishing business

Ah, social media where trying to be social by following people can be called "aggressive". LOL.

And whoops. Guess I only have 49 tweets left for the day now.

Better laugh at elmo's latest attempt to get money out of people while I still can.

[Matt | ... | Beyond tired @bansama]

Still alive. Just zero energy to do anything.
