Can't feel *too* bad for the people who get to work on the translation for a huge game like this, but they have my sympathy re: nostalgic people who think the stilted and confusing original lines here are "pure poetry" or whatever

I was pretty impressed with the FW loc as a whole, but this choice was a glaring whiff. The vibe of "Lamine 一家" is basically "The Lamine Family :)" but they went with "House Lamine" which sounds like a GoT thing... and then didn't adjust any of the reactions to the name. Silly

90 hours into FW and I still really want to know why Dietrich reacted this way to "House Lamine"

I translated Inganock for @KagamiGames. This is an all-new English TL for an HD release of the game.

I'm a fan of Sakurai's Steampunk games in general, but I think many people would call this one the "classic" in the series. Grateful I got the chance to work on it!

Contractors on big projects far too often do not get what they need to do their job well in a timely way & then get blamed for delays or errors later

Doesn't matter if they flag the issues immediately. They're outside the institution and therefore easy scapegoats

Marty Stratton, @idSoftware Studio Director, lied about @DOOM Eternal's OST events in a Reddit post that used disinformation to blame me entirely for its failure

Later, he offered me a six-figure sum to never speak about it

The truth is more important.
