Hi, I'm Matt. You might've seen my name in games like Trails through Daybreak or even Tokyo Xanadu eX+ (and maybe Trails to Azure.) I'm a freelance localization editor with a passion for so many different pieces of media that I'd be here all day listing them all.

Hope we can be friends!

Happy Ys vs. Trails in the Sky day!! I loved the brief period I QA tested it in the Geofront and to see it come out officially was neat. I got to participate a bit in the console network test for the release and it's superb. Refint did an awesome job.

Today I'm playing Urban Reign! An underloved, tough as nails PS2 beat-em-up which beat-me-down, over and over again. And it's amazing. Join Brad Hawk on the hardest 100 fights of his life to save a city he doesn't seem all that invested in.

Reposts appreciated, hope you enjoy! youtu.be/cBEuaOYPYwA

This is awful. I didn't know Andrew Dice very well but from my brief interactions with him, he was a swell guy. We worked on Trails through Daybreak together and I'm just at a loss for words. His work on not just Daybreak but other titles was wonderful. The world's lost a great individual.

Absolutely devastated by this news. SpaceDrake was no doubt a huge influence in drumming up interest for Japanese indie games localized into English and pushing for them on digital distribution storefronts like steam. Huge loss. Might be time for another playthrough of Recettear in his honour.
A tweet from Robin Light-Williams (@BlondRobin) stating the following: Hello to anyone reading this. I am Robin Light-Williams, formerly lead translator for Carpe Fulgur. I am very sorry to announce that my friend and business partner Andrew Dice, @SpaceDrakeCF, has passed away. Pursuant to that, Carpe Fulgur will be ceasing operations.

Reading that gave me flashbacks, holy shit I hate the final stretch of Shadow of the Erdtree pre-patch so much.

I grew up watching the Christopher Reeve films since my dad was on the older side and had a tendency to show me a lot more "classic" films when I was younger but Corenswet's Superman very much felt like what we need in modern times.

Finally had a chance to sit down and watch Superman (2025) and I really enjoyed it! Things have been stressful lately but the movie was fun, exciting, and full of heart. Absolutely adored David Corenswet as Superman. Such a cool movie.
