I've been "busy".
I’m a terrible host
Clearly it’s been busy with work a bit, and I was working on my translation project for a while. The good news is that I was able to get disc 2, which is an fmv of animation, Originally there wasn’t a way to get English text with the in game engine, but I found a way to insert my own video with subtitles spliced inside of them. Another thing I was working on was playing more Glover.
The Misfit Mascot Replay is a speedrunning event where people play gives for old/dead mascots. I originally wasn’t going to even play, and I just signed up for commentary, but one of the rules for the vent is you need 4 players to play (there’s 4 different group), and there was about a week before they closed submissions, so wanting the game to get into the event, I joined. I haven’t played in about a year so I have to practice a bunch, just to get consistent again, which obviously takes time to get rid of rust. Here’s the trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NodLpx5NrEQ
On better news, I got a new keyboard! https://varmilo.com/products/minilo75?variant=44272593862875 I’m still getting a bit used to the feeling of a smaller keyboard, but the super quiet key caps are amazing. It doesn’t have as much force needed to type, so sometimes I press down on a key after I finish typing, which is… cool. It also came with a bluetooth dongle, which works for the Wii, thus works for Phantasy Star Online!
The translation is 2 chapters away from finishing, along with someone with proper Japanese skills to translate disc 2 properly. I used YouTube’s auto translate, along with basically speaking skills to make it, but for now, work is slowing way down, and my translation project is on hold for now as well.
The other thing I’ve been doing is playing Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, super amazing game and I”m definitely addicted to it lol. I’m 58 hours in and I still haven’t beaten the game yet, but I think I’m close.
So what are the plans going forward?
I have already made two sketches that need to be finished, and I have some more ideas as well, so I’m certainly not short on things to make itself. Outside of that, I’ll want to finish the game itself. The translation will mostly be on pause until someone is able to help finish translating the last 2 chapters, though thankfully we’re almost done!

On March 16, around 10:20 pm est, I’ll be playing Glover live for the relay, so I’ll be practicing again for a bit.
I promise the next post will be an art related one, and won’t take another month to do, lol.
