And what was that story? It was so trite and forced, it hurt.

How did they have 3 years from scarlet and violet and not even try to make a better game?

The pun translations were great, but the base translation was so Japanese-y and unnatural at times that it felt jarring. You can tell they're just recycling old text at this point.

But seriously, wow. I thought the negative reactions were overreactions, but they are justified.

This is very reassuring since my powerhouse client will probably be done as of January 2026.

Hey, gotta keep them irons going, ya?

And today, I made my first 3秒決断 or three-second decision, as soon as I had an email come in that I would normally dismiss. I decided to take on the job. It turns out that if it all goes accordingly, I will be booked with this one client through at least March~June 2026.

The ability to turn off reposting would be AMAZING because that keeps me from following quite a few people who furiously do this, clogging up the timeline with posts from people I don't follow.

An edit button would also be a godsend.

Why do they need 12 minutes per person at the register????

Me: Ok. Good luck. Here is the additional TL you requested and will be paying me for.

Client: but what do???

Me: Again, I can't help you. It's too late. You played the stupid game, so now you get to collect your stupid prize that you won.

Me to client: looky what I found.

Client: omg how could this happen???

Me: *forwards email with same response I sent them in March & their response highlighted*

Client: omg what do? We have major donors!!!!

Me: Sorry to this man. I warned you.

Client: We can't change it now! We made merch!
