Introduction time!

I'm Richard "Pocky" Kim (I've had the nickname since 1995).

I've been in localization (games and anime) since 1999, and also have experience as a game designer, producer, and live operations manager.

I'm a huge Granblue Fantasy fan, and love games and anime in general.

Most of rural Alaska is Alaska Native. Bonus donating to support Alaska Native people on Indigenous Peoples Day.

Western Alaska was hit hard by the recent storms. Houses floated away in Kipnuk, houses flipped over, people lost everything from the flooding that came with the storms. Please donate if you can. This group has a long history of supporting AK communities.

Quick lil reminder:
Picking on the physical characteristics (weight, height, etc) of someone who's clearly just a trash human being isn't the dunk you think it is.

If you can help my friend Brady out, please do. They're an amazing person, and likely had a hand in helping produce the localized version of some of your favorite anime.

Hey friends. After having open heart surgery in Dec and another procedure in July, I've been left in 10k+ debt while recovering. During this, we were also laid off from Skullgirls. To try to help dig myself out, I have begun listing things on eBay: ebay.com/usr/mshinzan

Tasty tasty exploded view. These files will be up (with encounter instructions) for supporters tomorrow! #maker #3dprinting #ttrpg

A screenshot from CAD showing the multiple parts that combine to form the clockwork dragon encounter, in exploded view. The pieces are colored tan.

A clockwork dragon mini painted in golds, bronze, and different copper shades stands atop a clockwork device featuring a tower, and a large silver and gold gear before it topped with two Tesla coils painted in silver and copper.

We've had a couple of reports of crashes, so I spent the evening removing complex collisions and booting the nonsense 4k textures out of our levels.

Preliminary tests say we've recovered about 3 fps!

And we no longer have 4k textures gumming up the works. Honestly, who needs things to be 4k?!?

Just a reminder the word remigrate is open Nazi language and should be seen as a threat of violence.

When the neo Nazis use this term their is another two words they use after it which are :or die

It’s important to understand the context that the word Remigrate is a threat to leave or be murdered.

This is my go to now for people who ask. It's well organized, covers everything I would, and Craig keeps it updated. It makes it super easy to give to parents, random peeps who ask me in lines, and students who show up to my stream.

Huge thanks to Craig for doing the work.

Having to stream less definitely hit hard this month at payout. The videos and builds take time.

If you dig what I do, even hitting up my $2 tier is a huge help.

To everyone who says, "But this won't matter": *MAKE IT MATTER.*

You have that power! This is not inside baseball and your friends and neighbors will likely be appalled. And if they're *not* appalled, don't be cynical yourself. Take the lead, give the cue.

It did take me a while to get used to converting that in my head for budgeting and such.
