I can't profess to know what remarks you're referencing but I'm not of the whole "disregard someone completely as a retard for one or two misses" type of mindset. You also benefit from this because God knows I've seen you say retarded shit over the years but I'm not gonna completely write you off for it.
Wait RaceCreatesCulture got banned? Wtf?? That dude was awesome.
yes they are probably still going to make millions because GTA has such an established fanbase and they will buy a literal turd with a rockstar logo on it given the opportunity
You're right and this is the biggest problem. So much shit can keep going on and on purely from momentum and good will earned from several years or even a decade or two past. Normies gonna normie.
LETHN SHADOW LEGENDS!
To be fair, what they're saying is retarded.
Not money. But the point is the same.
so it's possible that the 3-4 times the Japanese temporarily defeated me are the exact same points where the translators chose to inject... flourishes, or else were defeated by the text themselves - but I doubt it
I don't know, that seems very sketchy. I've seen enough side by side comparisons, even ones done by very highly regarded translators in the VN community, where it's clear they did not understand the line they were translating.
Tobimaru had come to suspect that the boy had a very black-and-white way of seeing things
That is an inexcusably bad translation. I love that we are using Mahoyo as the example for this because I spent so much damn time scrutinizing that script that even without remembering that exact line it jumps out at me that that translation does not fit the character at all.
The one I still toy with is the possibility of putting out the world's first and only worthwhile English translation of Cross Channel
A very worthwhile endeavor. Never gotten around to reading it myself but hope to one day. Unfortunately it's such a thankless job. You'd be doing 10s of thousands of dollars of labor to produce something that the ungrateful EOP masses would never understand the value of. On the contrary, they might value the flowery translations that butcher the source material more.
Back a decade ago I would always hear people say that the English VN community was surprisingly slow to get fan translations because by the time someone got good enough to produce a translation, they realized just how pointless it is and how much the community doesn't deserve it. I didn't understand that in 2014 but I do now. I don't think it would stop me from attempting one again if I had the time on my hands, but to an extent the shitty localization companies and the EOPs that gratefully slop up everything no matter how shitty of a translation it is are a match made in heaven.
In fact I'm reasonably suspicious that Moogy himself is a tranny
Dude, don't even get me started. Like all localization fields it seems, the people who make up the more regarded echelons of the VN translation industry are retarded communists that would make Stalin blush. Like a combination of all the worst characteristics that people shit on localizers for on this board. There are only a couple that have seemed like I could get along with as people, and one of them, Conjueror, killed himself a few years back.
As an aside, I am registered with a big localizer of light novels and manga as a freelancer. It would make way less money than my real job and my side job of freelance translating technical documents, but there are a few white whales that I would love to translate myself if the opportunity ever arose so I just quietly wait for the 6 or so emails per year they send when they get new licenses.
But the point of bringing that up is, while I haven't translated for them officially yet, I was on boarded years back and am in their official discord. It's exactly what you would expect. The most radical of radical leftists, all the way up to and including the owner. I don't know what it is about this field that attracts the absolute worst of the worst of people, but either a lot more normies need to learn Japanese to make these people have less power, or there needs to be a major shift in the industry. I tend to encourage the former which is why I shill to people about learning Japanese whenever the topic comes up.
Yeah most VNs aren't translated, and of the ones that are, the English translation is often quite poor.
Mahoyo, that takes me back! I love that game. I spent a lot of time trying to translate it back in 2014 but stopped because I just had so much other stuff going on between school and work, and the job is quite thankless. Looking back it is probably for the best, because my skills at the time still needed a ton of polish. But that saddens me that you say Mahoyo got a bad translation. I had heard it finally got an official release but never looked into it myself. I wish Mcjon from Beast's Lair had finished his translation....Mahoyo deserves better. Hope Type Moon releases the sequels after the Tsukihime remake finishes....
It really is sad though. EOPs have zero idea what the original is even like sometimes that's how different the translations feel. Anyone who loves VNs needs to learn Japanese, it's as simple as that.
I really wish I had the time on my hands that I had in high school and college because I love that medium so much, but I'll be damned if the average VN isn't a huge time sink. Would love to get back to the point where I could play them a lot again.
Not tsukihime!
Seems like the Japanese version of the art book was unscathed this time. Reason number 437 why you should never be an EOP if you love VNs.
It was pretty crazy how it seemed like a switch was flipped overnight. Before Hillary beat Bernie, the site was Bernie > Trump >>>>> Hillary. Then after she won you were Satan if you didn't support her. Crazy shit. Anyone who doesn't have the memory of a goldfish knew right then and there that something odd was at play.
42% of democrats? That implies no more than like 65% of Republicans. The bigger issue is why do less than 99% of so called "conservatives" support mass deportation?
Sometimes I wonder how it must feel like to live with a case of terminal shit taste.
Just looked it up and this Belle girl is also 24. Seems like just a degenerate. Hard to imagine his girl is anything but a ham beast or danger hair if she is with someone like this and puts up with them subbing to onlyfans.
This is really the best argument for non competes tbh. That being said, it only covers some of them. My company (one of the largest in its sector in the world) had us all sign non competes last year and they were very much the "try to prevent people from leaving" kind as opposed to the "try to prevent people from being poached" kind.
I can appreciate the notion that they can prevent small startups from being able to be destroyed by a giant competitor at any time, but most non competes are not used in that manner. Perhaps some sort of an exception could be carved out for small businesses (wishful thinking I know).
The original is one of my favorite games ever. They had zero need whatsoever to change any dialogue.
Quick, get this man some tranny pics so his dick doesn't explode!
They're so fucking out of touch I guarantee they had no idea this would out them so quickly.
Yeah that thought crossed my mind when I wrote it lmao. NPCs will, but only for reasons that align with their programming.
I mean, what are they supposed to do? Not fly? I fly semi regularly for work and there is no way around it other than getting a different job where the travel isn't as far.
As shitty as DEI is, and as much as I agree with the notion that we will probably have an accident caused by lack of competency, the fact remains it is 1/1,000,000 or less to end up involved in that accident. Not exactly the type of odds someone will drastically change their life to avoid.
Sure, but I think the past couple years have really taken things to a new level. Could just be my perception though.
I think that's because they were truly caught off guard then. I think it was a real wakeup call for them. Sure, they definitely still seem desperate, but I don't think a move like that is out of the question.
Am I the only one who thinks they are doing whatever they can to keep the economy trudging along in a borderline zombie state so they can pull the plug if they fail to rig it to keep Trump out?
That's the crazy part about it. Many turbo leftoids despise Israel, but dare hint at widespread and inordinate Jewish influence in America and elsewhere and their NPC programming switches on and they flip shit and call you anti semitic.
Fortunately all the replies I see are shitting on them for it.
Not an unfair take, I guess I am just much more lenient than most. Take Imp for an example, the sperg of all spergs. I am one of the few that actually didn't mind his sperging due to the occasional worthwhile comments and posts.
