Wait, you mean it ISN'T normal to have difficulty getting started on something, but once you start you go hard till the end???

Art tutorials be like, "Okay, to draw a head, let's start with easy shapes. First, draw a circle."

Look, I'm not saying I'm motorically challenged, but I can't draw a circle, okay?

...gonna need a "how to draw a circle" tutorial, I guess.

I don't like to think of myself as smarter than others, but the high number of people asking the stupidest questions about the most basic stuff makes that rather difficult.

As a masterful wordsmith, I have reached peak romantic lines.

"Meeting you was like... Like going to the toilet, only to find a perfect comic tucked in a corner. I mean, you go in, expecting nothing, but you're pleasantly surprised, cos there's a really good read in there."

(PAID) - We need a dialogue editor who is fluent in Japanese.
Limited series, 8 episodes.

Automatically assumed**, obviously they don't automatically do it lol

Oh shoot, I assumed businesses automatically built in time to account for mishaps, ha ha... I guess that was too optimistic. :(

Well, they've factored in the extensions in the production schedule, so I don't think you're letting people down; you're simply using time they already set aside for such issues, aren't you? Don't feel bad!

"Congrats, your prize has been delivered to your doorstep!"

I dunno what the angle of this spam mail is, but why do you think I would "confirm my address" if it has already been delivered, you numbnuts?

You're supposed to vibe while ChatGPT writes the code.

The first six seconds of this song are such a banger, I miss Scrapped Princess.

Hello. Glacier Bay is looking for a Portuguese (European) → English translator to consult on a project.
Relevant candidates, please reach out to

info@glacierbaybooks.com

with the subject line: "Portuguese Translation"
and details of your relevant (comics) translation background + experience.

Figured I'd reach out to all the friends I haven't spoken to in a while, curious to see if we still got on. Answer: nope, we did not. Only one of them seemed genuinely happy to reconnect, the others gave either perfunctory replies or just didn't respond at all.

Not surprising, still disappointing.

Quick PSA to newer J>E game translators that if you run into this legalese, it's only referring to the actual rom data and should always be translated as such. There are multiple terms that can be misconstrued if you don't bear this in mind, especially since it's boilerplate text in Japanese games.

My best client that constitutes 70% of my yearly income has stopped giving me work, so uh, if anyone needs some translating, boy howdy my schedule is WIDE open now.

I never understood people collecting figurines, but acrylics I kinda dig.

I always thought people "got changed", but seeing how much people write they "changed clothes", I wonder if that was all just a fever dream on my side.

Getting into the Japanese media translation industry, especially for manga, is a lot harder nowadays, but here are some resources for translators, letterers, and editors

It's been an hour and a half. I can only wonder how long it'll take for her to decide to "forfeit" the game by not starting the matchmaker again.

My mother, deeply untechnical, discovered Jamboree's online multiplayer. Now she's been stuck playing because she's convinced she HAS to keep matching with players "till the game's over."

Anytime a round ends, she starts a new one, matches with new players, and insists it is still the same round.

Prologue that starts with something interesting for a page, only to then segue into, "None of what you just read happened, here's the actual story" and then goes into "PSYCH! the real story happens years later and this is irrelevant."

...pls no

The South African Broadcasting Company continues sending me emails asking me to pay for the TV licence. I don't know how long it's going to take them to just visit whoever they think they are emailing, it's been ten years... That TV licence fee is massive at this point, man.

My elder brother inflicted emotional damage when he said he was glum the original Final Fantasy Tactics didn't get a remake.

FFT Advance, people. He thought FFT Advance was the original and War of the Lions a lame knockoff.

chat he's gonna tell us about his favorite Gundam

Shocked and appalled to hear tomorrow is Tuesday again. We can't let time keep getting away with this.

Or you've never had really bad water. Water absolutely has a taste; the only way I can see the claim being true is if someone has a taste impediment.

I don't apologise for puns.

Wound up getting rid of my vacuum cleaner, since it was only collecting dust.

Games that advertise as "idle games" are games that have game modes based on leaving it alone. If you set the game to Passive Mode, you can tuck it away and check after a while what fish you've caught.

I got this idea of making a 4koma...but I forgot my art skills are nowhere near enough to convey what I mean. I should probably just simplify, not bother too much with drawing -well- and focus on getting the panels across.
