It's nowhere on the internet. It's not even in any books! But in a small shop in Akihabara, I discovered something historic: Where action RPGs really came from. https://medium.com/@obskyr/the-secret-origin-of-the-action-rpg-254a180079dd … It's out NOW!

Did y'all know that without Hamtaro, Miis wouldn't exist!? Mentioned only briefly in English, a JP Iwata Asks reveals: 1) Tomodachi Collection (Tomodachi Life precursor) was based on the '00 Hamtaro fortune-telling game 2) Miis were originally character creation developed for TC!pic.twitter.com/epJWbEl5cI

Fun fact that's entirely true but totally unknown to English sources: with 2 degrees of separation, Miis (as in the avatars on the Wii and on) are based on Hamtaro. Without Hamtaro, Miis would not exist. …I'll put together proper info later – holy moly, history's bizarre, hahah.

Why do we say “asexual” and not “non-bonary”

Kōsaku Shima is of especial interest due to its topicality! This is a manga that tells the story of the bubble economy's rise and fall, of the Hanshin Earthquake, of this pandemic, and of other watershed moments in Japanese society the past 35 years – and tells it in real time.

I kind of want to read Kōsaku Shima – an evergreen, ever-topical manga depicting salaryman life. It's been going for *80 volumes* since *1983*. In the latest volume, Shima catches COVID!? …Also there's a crossover spinoff called “That Time I Got Reincarnated as Kōsaku Shima”.pic.twitter.com/iIPICki50l

No longer an innocent robot boy, Mega Man puts his helmet on the shelf and lives life as a bishie office worker. That's Mr. Mega Man to you, kid.

Oh… my lord. There's a new set of two Mega Man manga: a childhood comedy, and “a melancholic drama about Mega Man grown up, disillusioned with the corporate world”… And I kid you not: they're called “Li'l Mega Man” & “Mr. Mega Man” (Rockman-chan & -san). https://web-ace.jp/youngaceup/contents/1000169/ …pic.twitter.com/7qkBi3TGDO

Oh my lord, Tokyo Revengers gets so bad… It has a lot of unique facets to love, and I *want* to like it… but it totally bungles it. Y'all ever have that? When you're so into parts of something, to the point where it feels special, but the *whole* keeps you from going all in?

To clarify, I'm talkin' 'bout English onomatopoeia – even if you've got the Japanese one down pat, trying to find a good English equivalent can be a curse upon you and all that you stand for. (Especially for those darn ideophones.)

I need an onomatopoetic encyclopedia… Fellow translators – especially of manga – do y'all have any resources for onomatopoeia?

Hey
@medarotsha@Imagineer_info it's cool and all that you used mGBA in the Medarots Classic port for Switch but whoever Dmitriy Gorbashevskiy is didn't seem to tell you that he used my code, since I'm not credited anywhere, even in the open source disclosures.Show this threadThanks.

(Whoops, ya boy tweeted this earlier with a brain typo that rendered the whole thing utterly incomprehensible. Sometimes, you just accidentally use the wrong language, y'know?)

The stereotypical “大魔王” (“Daimaō”) is always translated as “Demon Lord”, so let's do something about it. “Dark Lord” conveys the genericity even better. Then we've got… Archfiend. Master of Misery. Beastly Potentate. His Transcendent Execrability. The Big Bad News. Big Satan.

Translator's note: like most everything in translation (especially between tenuously related languages), the English meaning of "nakama" varies depending on context. Calling someone your nakama can be a powerful declaration – and sometimes it's just "uhh he's my coworker".
