Like a lot of new members, I came here at first because there's a project I want to ask about – not gonna lie – but wow. This really is an amazing place. Hats off. I'm afraid I won't be able to contribute much to the community unless someone needs an AegiSub monkey or mediocre Japanese to English translator, but I hope you don't begrudge one more lurker admirer among your ranks.
Welcome!

If there's ever anything that does need translating from Japanese, maybe you and I could put our heads together.

Also, love the username.

Any new lurker admirer is welcome here!

Also, subtitles gizmos could be handy, sometimes... Wink
Sadly my projects are lost due to an HDD crash... Sad

Thanks! And yeah, hmu if you need a second pair of eyes – I might be able to help depending on what the project is.

Glad to hear.

Re-timed subs for fan restorations and preservations seem like one of those things which are nice to have, but are just too labor-intensive to ever quite get around to making – at least for English language films. But then, subscene exists, so I guess there really are masochists out there.

Don't tell me... once I wrote a complete subtitles track from scratch... ONCE! Shocked

This is a thing I've done multiple times and honestly it's hell. Add the translation element on top and it's really difficult to stay motivated!

I enjoy the challenge but I think I need to be exceptionally driven to get through a whole film reasonably quickly. If anything gets me distracted or less keen to work on that particular film (e.g. my dog dying halfway through translating a film about an almost identical dog) then I'm screwed in the short term.
