Really want the US to stop being so shitty because on late nights I think longingly back to the $1.50 slices of pizza I got in NYC that were better than any pizza I've ever had in Canada
Yo!!! @lettererbrendo.bsky.social lettered the Cyberpunk Edgerunners manga!

There's also times when streamers play games that just aren't great for their usual vibe so you get such a weird tonal mismatch. It's like an unspoken tug-of-war between a game trying to be serious and a streamer needing to never turn the silly off to keep chat satiated if that makes sense

The thing that depresses me in the whole AI revolution in my industry (Iβm a literary translator and publisher) is that the question is not whether machines can replace human translators, but how will we deal with the fallout after machines are forcibly introduced regardless.

The first pictures of the English release of Billy Bat are out! So excited show show off what @lettererbrendo.bsky.social and I did.
These pages have fun bits where we styled the text closer to what an American comic from 1949 would look like. More info in the alt text!
π¦Billy Bat is almost here!
If you want to read Billy Bat before its release, we are doing a galley giveaway! Go to our giveaway post on our instagram for more information!

Working on a project alongside talented teammates is incredibly rewarding. I love that I get to work on Billy Bat with @lettererbrendo.bsky.social because it means I get to open a page and see amazing sound effects. Constant inspiration to push our work further.
I promised some samples of lettering from the manga
Hope You're Happy, Lemon by Mizuki Kishikawa, so here we go. It's now on sale!
Kishikawa's style is really fun, and super busy at times, and I had a lot of fun trying to match it.
Like, I didn't think Funimation's dub was terrible or anything, but to me the whole film felt different because of it. It didn't feel like a totally suitable substitute for someone who may not be able to watch it in Japanese with subtitles. Also hated how they pronounced Gojira, haha.
Common NYAV w
Wow, surprised there's a new dub.
Honestly I wasn't really a fan of Funimation's dub. It came across way too detached from the physical performances and the script and types of voices they were doing didn't come across very natural. NYAV's dub seems much more promising in all aspects.
Chloe Zhao, please bring me and @lettererbrendo.bsky.social on as consultants when you inevitably realize that Billy Bat is the best thing in the Kodansha catalog
I don't think Asmongold's living conditions would really become any worse on the streets tbh
Please don't post this kind of language. I just imagined in my brain that several of those words are different words and it's actually very fucked up
Like, I think most viewers would be okay with subtitles not always being super crisp for the sake of the convenience of watching on something other than a PC. Or at least they could provide text-based subs as an alternative. This just doesn't seem like the best thing for viewers
Could they not get image-based subtitles to work on lower-end devices instead of re-encoding? I can understand ASS not working on like an iPhone or a smart TV but something similar to PGS or VOB maybe? At the very least they could get sign subs at the top of the frame if it must be text-based.
I have added fifty new movies to the Plex server; every Dexter series has also been added--I will continue to procrastinate watching it for years to come. I've finished replaying Peace Walker and am now replaying MGSV. I'm watching Twin Peaks again.
This has been an Autism Announcement. Thank you!
Our next piece of lettering comes from @meerkatotter.bsky.social!
Not only does Madeleine flawlessly recreate the translated English text into 3D blocks, but they also have the text interacting with Mifuyu as well!

he still has a job. how many people have been fired for saying much milder things about a right-wing figure?
If you are, random example here, a publisher who had a quick reaction to some online posts and fired one of your employees for it, or canceled their book, or whatever, again, random example, you probably should have been aware this was part of a bad faith concerted effort www.cnn.com/2025/09/13/b...
DC still has books by Gerard Jones or Justiniano on DCU Infinite. Guys who were arrested, pleaded guilty and got convicted for child pornography!
But Gretchen Felker-Martin's first Red Hood issue gets recalled, and the rest of the run pulped, because she

wasn't sad that Kirk got shot?
no matter your politics itβs disrespectful to joke about someoneβs death. donβt say charlie kirk died from a grand piano falling on his head and his mouth turned into piano keys and then a flower pot fell on his dick and it honked like a bike horn. donβt say stuff like that
"I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights"
- Charlie Kirk, 1993 - 2025
So I know celebrating murder is in poor taste, butβ¦.
