Guess I'll do a quick intro...
Hey, I'm Marche. Been in localization for a few years now. I work primarily as a J-E editor, but I dabble in writing and QA here and there too!
When I'm not working, I'm usually playing entirely too much FFXIV and seeking new creative outlets/sources of inspiration!

Finished Metroid Prime 4 earlier tonight, and while I enjoyed the game overall, there are some glaring problems with it... such as how that might be the worst ending I've seen in a LONG time.
Like, oh my GOD. I can't remember the last time I stared at a game's credits and went, "That's IT!?"

Every time one of the logs in Metroid Prime 4 says "metroid fusion" (in reference to how the bosses have all fused with metroids), I become the Leonardo pointing meme and go "METROID FUSION MENTIONED!??!?"

Streamed Metroid Prime 4's intro for my girlfriend earlier, and once she got too tuckered out to continue, I went, "Thanks for patiently watching me scan 100 things..."
Maybe this isn't the best stream game. 😅

Big day for people like me who use their Switch 2 almost exclusively as a first-party Nintendo/third-party RPG machine.

Shoutout to whoever pledged $750 to write a new, shiny audio log for the System Shock Remake and ultimately landed on "Am I worrying too much?" (That's it. That's the entire audio log.)

Learned twelve hours into my System Shock Remake playthrough that something is horribly wrong with how music is implemented, so the game isn't actually meant to be dead silent 99.99% of the time. 🫠
At least some kind soul made a mod that fixes the music. Good lord, it's so much better with music.

I saw Wicked: For Good today, and I can't remember the last time I left a theater hating a character as much as I hate Nessa. Would've dropped that house on her myself, given the chance. 😭

WHAT WHO PUTS SOMETHING LIKE THIS IN THEIR GAME
In Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, Mario and Luigi's level-up stat gains are bizarrely based on what level Bowser is currently at. If he is at a "good" level, they will be several times more powerful. The game does not tell you which levels are good and which are bad.

It feels weird to both be in noticeably better health (still got a cough, but it's nowhere near as bad as it was a few days ago) and mostly caught up on work. I can actually sit down and relax and not feel guilty!
I think I'll kick back with some PowerWash Simulator and del Toro's Frankenstein. 😌

My gut is so unbelievably sore because of how much I've been coughing these past few days. But I want to believe! This is the final hurdle! Once I kick this cough, I'll be almost back to 100% for the first time in over a month!
Maybe I'll actually be able to touch grass again... I'm so excited! 😭

LRP: I don't watch anywhere near enough anime to be subscribed to Crunchyroll, but it's looking dire for our friends over there, so it'd be swell if someone could cancel their subscription in my stead. 🥺

Important update: I have received word from insiders that Crunchyroll executives have deemed the user backlash to be small enough that their subtitle enshittification & OOONA plans will NOT be cancelled, only delayed.
I have added an update to the article. There's a summary at the top now too.

A ton of research and effort went into this one. This is the article to read to get to the bottom of Crunchyroll's subtitle changes!

Crunchyroll is destroying its subtitles for no good reason | Daiz.moe
With the Fall 2025 anime season, Crunchyroll demonstrates zero respect for anime as a medium as the presentation quality of its subtitles reach an all-time low.

I don't regret leaving Twitter for a second. I genuinely feel for the people who are stuck over there. Bluesky? I could get by without it.
But Discord? Discord is the only social platform I legitimately could not live without. It's my primary means of communication with... pretty well everyone.

I quit the former Twitter two years ago this week, and I am here to tell you that my online life got a lot better for having left it. In two years I've not been tempted to go back, and I haven't felt any penalty in either career or community for not being there. It's nice to be here and not there.

Been finding it harder and harder to drag myself out of bed these past few days. Really hope I get better soon. I'm tired of being sick or injured all the time.

My voice is so hoarse right now that I sound like a large, middle-aged toad that's been chain-smoking for the better part of its adult years. Lol

Been watching a lot of Jacob Geller's videos about fear and horror lately, and I'm so deeply fascinated by Kitty Horrorshow's Haunted Cities collections. I'm feeling the spark of inspiration well up inside me again, begging to be unleashed... God, I love psychological horror.

If someone, anyone has to auction off pieces of their own life story to pay for medical treatment and care, then that is proof positive that the system is irrevocably broken and needs to be replaced with something that isn’t based on profit via the infliction of cruelty.

I've been sick or otherwise unwell for nearly a month straight at this point. Really hope this is the end of it, because I've been coming down with stuff faster than my body can recover from it. Kind of feels like I'm a patchwork amalgamation of half-healed illnesses and injuries at this point. Lol

Best Buy has called me twice now to try to get me to re-order Metroid Prime 4 through them. They're almost doing just as much work to promote the game as Nintendo is!

I hate the current state of XIV discourse, because while, yes, the harassment Sena Bryer has faced is unconscionable and should be condemned, mischaracterizing and hand-waving DT criticism as coming from a loud minority of transphobic/misogynistic players is a stunningly ignorant take.
FF14 being nominated for best ongoing in a year when I have seen its players do very little but constantly complain about a quality dip, with devs even copping to it, while Street Fighter 6 on a total tear not even getting a nod is making my head spin
