#personal #imagine me looking on rox's blog because I wanted to check on a bad medicine translation #find this #I can't believe it took me 7 years to understand what dialover was referencing #in the end I didn't find what I was looking for #i thought rox translated secret zone but it was actually deja vu #I still remember when this happened #I think around that time I was playing BM too

okay so who's here because twitter is on the verge of dying //slap

hello, thank you for all your translation work! may I ask if I am compiling a (public) resources document with a list of translations, would it be alright to include links to your translations in it?

Hello! Sorry for the late answer, I've been checking social media less lately because of ongoing exams. I don't mind it. Here's my translation masterlist to help you out!

Hi, if you're still accepting commissions, I've been trying to look around for a group that I could commission for Beet the Vandel Buster. As a series, it's by the author and artist duo from Dragon Quest's manga, and while it was licensed by VIZ back in the 2000s before they entered a decade-long hiatus, they've since dropped it and now nobody is translating it. So I'd like to ask, are you open to scanlate the remainder?

Hi! Sorry, but I also have my hands full with irl things right now so I can't take any commissions.

Even if I had though, I'm not entirely sure I'd be up to taking this project due to the reason it's been licensed in the past and I'm not exactly knowledgeable about the legal side of things.

Also, sorry for taking so long to answer. Hope you have a great year!

Can you translate (to english) natsume yuujinchou drama cds.

Sorry anon, but I don't have as much free time as I used to. Working full time and handling master's at the same is tiring.

I'm on hiatus with my translations for now.

Hi, I found ch1 of 'Our Youth Isn't Dead' and I wanted to read the other chapters but I can't find them... I saw that you guys did the first chapter and were planning on translating the other chapters (I found it on 25th of september 2022 so I don't know when you started the translations). Do you still plan on releasing them or should I stop looking? I really wanted to read it because it looked interesting :')

Hi, and sorry for taking sooooo long to answer this. I'm not really active on tumblr anymore.

I would say stop looking. Akui's (our group translator/typesetter) been mia on the internet for years by now and we haven't worked on any manga since then. Sorry ;;;

Hope you have a great new year!

Hello, i was wondering if you have dl for tsukiuta memorial tour 2018?

-stares at blog-

I don't know what exactly made you think I ever shared download links here.

#ask #answered #anonymous #please tell me because I'm curious

Hello! I just want to thank you for everything you've done holy crap. Thank you!

I will assume you mean my past translations because otherwise I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about

Another life update (I guess)

Man, it’s been a while since I last posted here. Hello again!

As of now I’m in the first year of my master degree, and while things have gotten easier when it comes to uni, it’s also gotten a lot more hectic outside of that.

I’m starting my first job basically. You see, my uni requires me to do an internship (and I got this one-month internship in this one international company... and guess what? They extended my contract.

So yeah. It’s crazy. But this also affects my commissions.

To put it simply, between work and uni, I don’t get as much free time as I used to, a long time ago. And when you come back from 8 hours of sitting in front of your computer for work, you can’t really find it in yourself to do even more work at home.

That means that I’m closing my commissions for the time being. At least for the people I haven’t started translating for. As for the ones I already started working for, I’m doing baby steps with the translations, but know that I’ll eventually finish the translations and send them two you (I don’t know why I’m speaking in plural, there’s just one person). That or I can return your money if you change your mind.

And what does my job mean for this blog? Well, if you’ve been following me for a while, you know I haven’t posted translations since like.... a year ago.

I started this blog as a way to improve my Japanese and it ended up being a way for me to get pocket money. Maybe one day I’ll come back here. At least I hope so. This summer I want to start actual Japanese courses (I’m self-taught) and get a certification (wait for me JLPT). Can’t wait for that.

Yeah, that’s all for now. Bye

#personal #not sure I ever mentioned it but I've been playing genshin for uhhh almost a year #I'm still following tsukiuta from the corner of my eye #I've been stuck with bsd for a while and then the fandom sort of ruined it for me #still reading fics on ao3 once in an oblivion #but rn I'm mainly into genshin #how's life in rest you ask?#well #as calm as it can be with a war in your neighbour's yard

Good lord, once I take a break from my commissions I should have a look over my older translations, they look like they were worded by a kindergarten kid

#personal #I'd say my wording skills have gotten better since then

Do you allow your translations to be used for analyses?

Hello there!

As long as you credit me for the translation and don't use huge chunks of text for the analyses (I assume it will be the 'one-two sentences from here, two more a few paragraphs down, one more from later on and the rest is your train of thoughts' type of analysis), then yeah, it's fine.

If you copy paste like entire paragraphs repeatedly and those end up being the majority of your analysis, then no, I don't allow it because it's not any different from reposting.

I hope that clarifies things. Thanks for asking!

#ask #answer #anonymous #and I'd be happy if you could send me a link #i like reading analysis

Hello again! I/m sorry for mistaking you last time. I wanna ask where can I find the Japanese raw setting of Tsukihana Kagura, Origin and 2P Lockout? I search here and there on the internet but still see no sights of them...

It took me a few minutes to figure out what you mean by 'Japanese raw setting', but in the end I guess you mean the pamphlets?

Usually movic organizes a sell once or twice a year (I know some pamphlets are certainly brought back during AGF), but you still have to wait until then in order to buy them (and I can't guarantee you'll be able to get all three).

If you were hoping to find scans online, then tough luck. Those pamphlets are like 100+ pages, if someone were to scan all that they're most likely crazy.

Life update

I passed! I’m done with my bachelor degree.

Wrote a 33-pages-long thesis that gave me sleepless nights, prepared my defense, prepared this long ass program that rolls like 7 stuff at once, had my exam on 2nd of July.

And I passed.

With 9.12 out of 10.

God I’m tired.

Up next is the master’s.

#but until then I can relax a bit and slowly start working on commissions again #you have no idea how helpful was getting a new laptop #and I'm forever grateful to the people who helped me out in buying it

Hello! I wanna ask if you are going to sub the TsukiProstage Kiso Sekai. I will still buy it if payment is required. Thanh you very much.

Errr... you may be mistaking me with Ryota

In need of a new laptop

I usually don’t do this, but I reached a point where I’m really in need of help.

I’m a 3rd year student, majoring in mathematics and computer science and I’m 3 months away from graduating. And my laptop is about to die.

I bought my laptop a few years ago, a weak piece of technology, with the hope that it’s going to survive through uni. Sure, I had programming classes back then, but I could work with this laptop, I worked in laboratories more anyway. Back then we didn’t have a pandemic, I didn’t have to use it as much as I do right now.

But things twist in life and this pandemic turned all my activities online. For every single class I have to connect on some app and have 3-4 more open in the background to just be able to keep up with the professor. One year and a half of that have worn my laptop out to the point where just restarting it takes 20 minutes.

I bought a budget laptop which now is about to die.

Now I’m 3 months away from graduating and I have to write programming projects, essays, my bachelor thesis and present them, defend my thesis on a laptop which gargles if I open chrome and a second app at the same time. It’s something I can’t do on this laptop anymore.

I’m planning on buying a new laptop. One that will actually work properly through my programming adventures (and hopefully I can graduate without technical problems). I’d say I’m about 85-90% into my goal, but I still need a bit more money.

Here is my ko-fi page. You don’t have to donate if you don’t want to (it would help me a lot though, I mean it, it doesn’t matter how much you send in), but reblogging this would be a great signal boost.

For those who donate, feel free to drop your handle (tumblr, twitter, whatever you use) and as soon as I’m done with my degree I’ll contact you and try to find a way to thank you. I could do a short translation in exchange, I could help out scanlating manga, just come up with something and as long as it’s possible for me to do it (and of course reasonable), I’ll do it.

If you got this far, thank you for reading.

Update: I managed to buy the laptop

Thank you so sooo much to all the people who helped me out! Just a few hours after I made the previous post, my old laptop decided to just stop whatever kind of startup process whatsoever, so you really helped me out (I managed to kick a bit of sense into it this morning, but even now it opens just if it wills to do so)

I can't describe how thankful I am. Really, really thankful!

Here's what I bought (with the receipt included as well)

Now I can finally keep up with my classes properly and worry about one thing less for my graduation.

#reblog #personal #I was really close to having enough money but due to urgency I had to borrow some money #this summer I'll work really hard on commission to pay my parents back #and I actually tested the CPU usage #the new one uses 1% CPU without foreground apps running and the old one uses 52% CPU without foreground apps running #I'm really speechless #if you zoom in on the receipt it's yesterday's date on the bottom left corner
