I have worked alongside game translators and developers as localization manager for Playism in Japan. Now I'm back in the UK with all this Brexit confusion, hunting for cool games and practising Bach fugues.

Trophies - How They Insult Your Intelligence
Trophies! Most gamers I’ve met love them, and as we tend not to be the most athletic of types it comes as no surprise that being awarded something shiny for once feels… rather good. On some platforms they are called ‘achievements,’ though it probably wouldn’t matter if they were coins, hearts, crayons or Gobbos. Trophies let us subtly remind friends of our badassery for leaving no stones unturned in unforgiving games such as Dark Souls and are a standardized unit of “something to aim for”, a bit like golden stars that we had in elementary school.
