Hey there, new folks! My name is Kris, and I work on video games, anime, and other media. Taquka’angcuk is my Alutiiq name and means “Little Bear.”

I’ll probably mostly use this space to talk about old video games and make the odd project announcement, but I’m glad to have you around nonetheless!

IF, by chance, anyone at Capcom wants me to localize anything Mega Man-related… I’ll clear my schedule.

(DMC, too, but I already worked on 5, so I don’t want to be greedy.)

I cannot say enough as to what this means to me + other Welsh players. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 The line in Edge of Fate was special, but it's now canon our Guardian is learning my native tongue?!

That recognition + hearing it spoken is huge & means so much. (1/3)

i love seeing closeups of Game Boy screens; you don't realize how much TEXTURE there is in those individual pixels normally

it's like a tiny electronic mosaic, imperfections only adding to its beauty, ignored unless you look closely

The thing about how "pixel art was designed for CRTs" always kind of annoys me because: Pokemon wasn't. Pokemon was released on the Game Boy, which used a liquid crystal display. Nobody ever seems to think to bring this up. Drives me mad!!!

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Extremely proud to announce I was a translator on Octopath Traveler 0! 🎉 So glad this game got a second life on consoles, and heartened to see reviewers say the story brought them to tears. Guess that means we did our job. 😊

Sega is on the right side of things surprisingly often for a big game company, so this hurts twice as bad.
Sega says it will start implementing efficient development methods, including the use of AI.

However, because it knows AI use "faces strong resistance in creative areas", it pledges to only use it in "appropriate use cases".

Spent like 45 minutes last night fruitlessly trying to remove my (unbeknownst to me) board-soldered VSM cable from my Panasonic Tau set by hand and then realized that I could just turn it off in the service menu.

I have no idea how people who actually understand CRTs do it.

Saying I was even remotely involved with this outside of throwing my two cents in on terminology is a gross overestimation of my contribution, but I was kinda sorta in the proximity of this project during the FanTL process!

I’ve long struggled to really click with the DRPG genre, but 20 hours into Labyrinth of Refrain (still getting tutorials) and after beating Phantasy Star 1 a bit ago, I think I might just be starting to Get It.

It’s that tension of “I’m out of supplies, but if I push a LITTLE farther…” as an ethos!

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.

tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

🧵⬇️
The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them

A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

I know most of my posts have been raging against AI lately, but I really haven’t had a whole lot of time to breathe with work and life and everything else. I swear I’ll fall down some niche rabbit hole or other and start posting about Sound Novels or some obscure licensed action game soon.

VoiceQ sending out an email proudly proclaiming that their rhythmoband is uniquely positioned for AI and hybrid dubbing really does a great job of further justifying my distaste for VoiceQ.
