ちょっとでぶけど、わりぃな…デーブ•ワリナーです。
Freelance JP to EN translator.
Graduated with honors from University of Maryland - College Park.
Maryland here. Even tried asking the hiring person why on LinkedIn since she was talking to me in a DM and she just ghosted me.

3play also said they wouldn't hire me as a remote translator because of the state I live in. Very weird company.

SMT feels so dense, but thankfully most of the latter day rereleases have some form of speed levelling system. There will be some set of items that either give you enough xp/a set percentage for a level, sell for massive amounts of money, or give you free skill ups for your demons.

As requested. Happy belated birthday.

If someone were to drastically need one of those pink covers with every fiber of their being, would you have a link?

...So my girls can recreate this, obviously...

Still on my laptop for that exact reason. Thank Gabe for Steam.

Yeah the lore I remember was like... they came out saying they're Not TV-Nihon and then people got pissed at them for the tact they took or something, so they came up with some other name? They also used way less translator notes from what I remember. Just actual translation. Weird time.

I always assumed that with the Batman theming and the temperate nature of the show that Paradigm would be a NY based city like Gotham. Just feels strange that he'd drag Big O all the way across Ontario instead of just being in Ottawa or Montreal.

I never looked back to TV-N when W-Time arrived. Thanks for so many years of enjoyment.

Was anyone from W/O-Time involved in the "Not TV-Nihon" thing that happened just before this?

I think the most egregious thing is just Roger being in fucking Winnipeg of all places. But I guess if you can leave Paradigm City, Canada's not the worst place to end up.

This is what came to mind immediately.

I was relieved that it wasn't just more DBD bullshit and these people *actually live in this world*

I haven't even gotten to Koji yet, but Tetsuya gave that piece of garbage Messer a pass for hiding his VARS from everyone, making it the most out of character thing I've ever seen Tetsuya do.

I was upset.

That's super cute.

Wait until he does the translation on Corpus Christi...

But wait did you see "JEEEEFFFFFFFF"?
