Hi, I'm Matt. You might've seen my name in games like Trails through Daybreak or even Tokyo Xanadu eX+ (and maybe Trails to Azure.) I'm a freelance localization editor with a passion for so many different pieces of media that I'd be here all day listing them all.

Hope we can be friends!

First match of the patch with the homies but oh my god.

Yeah, Unbeatable is pretty peak.

Crazy to think we're finally all caught up on Trails after so long. From being a Falcom fan to working on some of the games, it's been one amazing journey. Looking forward to playing Beyond the Horizon myself.

Media Thread for 2026. Gonna try to keep up with it this time since I actually didn't keep up with my 2025 one due to everything that happened in life.

Deadlock is gonna kill me, why my ass gettin' paired with Oracles when I'm Emissary I. Plus playing on my own is gonna drive me further up the wall 'cause some of my teammates ain't ever heard of buying Greens in their life.

Managed to finish the latest EX in Final Fantasy XIV late last night and man, say what you will about the story but the actual content in Dawntrail has been great. I really enjoyed the first tier of Savage for the Arcadion and the EXs have been really fun.

Getting to work on something really cool alongside my friends is the greatest feeling in the world. Neo Neon Tribe is really cool so I hope everyone reads it and enjoys it. It's going to be a long-term thing, so I'll be posting whenever there's an update to the English version!

About to cross 300 hours in Deadlock and the last 200 hours have been in the last two months. BUT I've finally achieved Emissary 1 so that's nice. Getting up there in rank, perhaps I'll see the top some day...

All I can say is love it or hate it, The Game Awards remind me every year just how much I love video games and the industry itself (but not the corporations that mistreat people.) It sparks beautiful things like Expedition 33.

Rollo, who I adopted back in July, sadly passed away from a brief battle with liver failure on Friday. He suddenly got worse and there was nothing we could do.

He was the sweetest boy and loved his little sister Mishy very much. Fly high, big guy.

A good friend of mine had their Switch and all games (among other things) stolen from their car. They still have the cases, just not any of the cartridges. If anyone is selling these games for cheap by chance, please let me know! Again, only the carts are needed. Not having a box is totally fine.

Been working on a video about Metal Gear Solid Delta since it's release but just now getting around to seriously trying to get it done and man, I had a lot of fun with it but damn is FOX Hunt gonna be dead in six months with no cross-platform play! Also wish they didn't just color within the lines.
