@maximilian_ Watching your playthrough was super fun, Max! I was screaming at the screen! I'm really glad you enjoyed the game. I would honestly recommend just about all the Zelda games. Mario might be Nintendo's bread and butter, but it's Zelda that's pushed things forward for them, surely.
@Jackbotnik I have quite a few I've gotten from Anime Expo for the last several years. My favorite is this one I'd gotten from Studio TRIGGER back in 2022.
MAGES president and CEO Makoto Asada is interested in translating the "Memories Off" remake in English, adding that they make take further steps based on the remake's reception.
As localization costs are expensive and it is a long-running visual novel series, Asada believes the remake would be a good entry point.
They also plan to translate other MAGES titles that they think will be well-received overseas.
On the topic of localization costs, Asada also discussed how expensive it is in particular for adventure games as they have to carefully check whether the nuanced expressions are being properly conveyed. AI translations are still a long way from being practical. For example, he doesn't believe AI can reproduce unique speech patterns and phrasings such as from a character in "STEINS;GATE." It can output something similar, but it won't be able to perfectly replicate the character. Because of that, translations should be done by humans for now.

@ebanakasan@Genki_JPN Yeah I personally feel like the cards you get with medals should count towards correct scores because you technically don't get them wrong. I missed one for the MM set and it's a little bit annoying lol
Happy Anniversary to Xenogears 🎂🥳🎉
Released in North America on this day in 1998 for the PlayStation 1, this masterpiece from Square pushed storytelling, philosophy, and music to new heights. It’s still one of the most unforgettable RPGs ever made!
@FroglordMcDuke I'd hope so. It's been included on all English Blu-ray releases of the Tales of the Abyss anime so there shouldn't be a licensing issue with it, unlike a certain other song in the series. Just as long as they dub the skits this time...
Okabe, Kurisu or Mayuri: who's your favorite lab member? 🧪 The English dub of Steins;Gate is now streaming on Crunchyroll!

Jun Maeda's work has left a major impact on my life, I had the privilege of translating some. He's long been an industry titan, with much to say about family, the human condition, and the fleeting nature of life. It's sad, but I hope he rides out the rest of his with dignity.
Video games have given me so much throughout my life. Growing up, certain stories evoked such deep emotions and altered my DNA.
Being a kid and playing a game like Ocarina of Time, Final Fantasy VII or Pokémon for the first time just imprints on you in the best way, especially when you can now share that with other people.
Not to mention all of the lifelong friends I’ve made along the way. I have homies that I’ve known for 25 years because we played an MMO together.
Gaming isn’t just sitting alone in a room in silence.
