I replayed Metroid 2 for the first time since childhood this year, and fell so deeply in love with its design. It is so different to the rest of the series in its progression structure and toolset, so much so that it actually reminds me most of all of Shadow of the Colossus. (1/7)

'Spelunker' released on NES on this day in 1985.
This conversion of Tim Martin's Atari 800 classic would take on a life of its own in Japan, with "the weakest hero in gaming" going on to become something of a pop culture icon.

If you call it a “male immaturity epidemic,” a very different set of phenomena come into focus, as this thread shows
I'm starting to wonder how much "the male loneliness epidemic" is just straight and bisexual women identifying low-effort, mean, and incompetent men and choosing not to date, marry, and tolerate them anymore

Freelancing: Everything. What rates are acceptable. How to create an invoice. That it's okay to negotiate when presented with an unreasonable deadline. That you need to give yourself time off. Etc.

To my fellow translators: what do you wish someone had taught you about translation (whether the act or translation or having a freelance job) that you had to learn by yourself?

I think you should play tz mini stg collection. It came out less than two weeks ago and ought to have more eyes on it.
Four neat little STGs by Tamazusa, each proof-of-concept'ing their own cool mechanics. Learning them is a lot of fun. Very stylish.

Purity culture has been staining the internet for a good while now. Everyone’s acting like fiction is a background check for morality, and it’s exhausting. It's spread like mold; turning what should be a fun time, into something people are scared to admit liking.

After publishing this article, I've heard from many that CR seems to be using AI to produce dub CCs. Now, thanks to a slip-up CR had with episode 6 dub of The Banished Court Magician, we can say that with 100% certainty: Crunchyroll is using the AI service Ollang.com for its dub closed captions!
