For reference, in the original:

English, German: This character is a girl

Japanese, French, Spanish: This character is an Effeminate Boy, and it's played for laughs.

Italian: This character is Transgender.

I need to see an eng(old)/jp(old)/eng(new)/jp(new) comparison on this game as soon as possible.

XBOX also has the least incentive to tough it out. I expect the next XBOX (if there is one) will be a prebuilt PC running XBOX OS which will be a slightly tweaked version of Windows.

Seriously. At this point, if pirates began attacking boats in the English Channel, it would be a net positive for Britain.

Yes, at most he was the Japanese equivalent of that English bugler. More likely he was entirely fictional, or actually just Okinawan.

The whole man/bear thing seems perfectly engineered to make men and women hate each other.

I don't know for what purpose, but it certainly seems effective.

Yeah, if Nintendo wanted to make a collectathon, there's no reason they wouldn't stick DK, Yoshi, or Wario in there.

If there's one thing Nintendo isn't short on, it's IP.

Aka "Why you don't let Emma Watson sing" the Movie.

There wasn't nearly enough criticism of that movie. Wasn't the Aladdin one after that? Somehow that one did alright despite how terrible it looked.

Nah, what they do have, is 3d models from the last movie that they invested a lot of time in.

What they don't have, is people talented enough to make 2d animation of high enough quality that it won't be compared with Hunchback of Notre dame 2.

And unfortunately, you two have now just discussed the politics and power dynamics at a level deeper than anything Disney is capable of anymore. We'll get girlboss Shenzi and absolutely none of this.

Eh, they have their pros and cons.

At the end of the day, having a deck of 2000 characters to memorize isn't really that much when you consider how difficult learning a language is, and it gives you a really straightforward framework that gives you a ton of clues later in your learning.

On the other hand there are a ton that look way to similar to each other.

I still stand by my conclusion that Japanese isn't that much harder than other non-romance languages, it's just front loaded.

I really have to respect the way he set his goal of 2 billion dollars, got the two billion dollars, and then rode into the sunset to a life of freedom and relaxation instead of getting caught on the greed treadmill like so many of the upper class do.

Learn Japanese, not to play your favorite games in their original format, but to once again witness the artistry of language once English has been subsumed into nothing but an unintelligible hodge podge of political buzzwords, ebonics, and zoomer slang.

Tits that fake are normally disappointing when they are fully bare. Implants are often intended to make cleavage look nice, even at the expense of the appearance of the rest of the breast.

It's a favorite tactic of leftists.

Something bad happens and someone they dislike is in power -> "clearly the administration could have fixed this instantly, but they didn't because they're evil"

Something bad happens and someone they like is in power -> "the current administration has only been in power for 3 years, that's not enough time to make any real change! This is clearly the previous administrations fault!"

Yeah isn't the reveal of hooktails gender part of a "darling baby sister" joke during the gloomtail fight?

And here we see, exemplified by perhaps the game with the best writing a Mario game has ever had, why language as an art is dying under the crushing weight of leftist tyranny.

Some of this can be blamed on terrible voice acting/ voice directing. Like many English voice actresses, I suspect she pushed her tone over the line from playful teasing straight to cunty.

Though apparently their are other issues, so perhaps this is just a crap localization all around.

It's a typical trait of this kind of dementia. There's a nugget of truth to the story, but they're making up most of the details on the fly, because they can't remember any of them. If they are a good enough storyteller, they might keep it coherent enough to avoid appearing as far gone as they really are.

I can't imagine how bad this will get if they force Biden through for another four years.

For better or worse, it was mostly drowned out by Akira Toriyama's death this year.

The death of a legend is tragic, but a feed full of heartfelt tributes is far more palatable than artificial, meaningless, corporate garbage about girl power.

Takes rip of bong

"Dude... if there's a party of division, shouldn't there be parties of addition subtraction, and multiplication too?"

"I dunno dude, I wouldn't want to be the party of subtraction, that would be totally negative dude."

"Yeah, we should totally be the party of addition, that would be totally rad, man!"

"Cool... Cool... but then, who is the party of multiplication?"

"Dude..."
