In the 90s they put random English phrases instead of translating.

Bad example. The original line was already about shorts. It also became a meme in the series and lots of later episodes have some guy being enthusiastic about shorts around the begining of the game.

It’s true this sounds a bit more random in English than Japanese, but it was an attempt at translating it.

Your cat’s data belongs to the people, comrade!

Maybe they expected a slightly less angry response, but they probably don’t mind. They don’t care if their model looks bad, they definitely want it to be a talking point before everything else.

Like the recent article in Wall Street Journal dunking on their stupid “vending machine”. Or when they publish studies about how training the model to make bad code on purpose turns it into literally Hitler. They want people to talk about it.

Of all the stuff people do for cosmetic reasons, I think I will never get poisoning your face muscles with a deadly neurotoxin.

Are you? I’m pretty sure you can replace “high-level marketing execs” with houseplants, with zero impact on productivity.

I can’t check the link directly, that store’s site might be geolocked for some reason… But yeah, good one.

Not sure, but I don’t think so… I think it might have been the opening from Ouran Host Club. IIRC that’s what my sister was watching back then, and she showed me that video.

There’s a line about beautiful spring in there, maybe it’s not a perfect fit but obviously the person doing that started from an English translation, and there might have been some creative liberty here and there.

Long ago, I watched a youtube video of a girl singing a song from an anime that I’m assuming she’d translated herself in French. A bit bold because she didn’t speak French. It was a nice try, but overall quite funny.

The part that really got me was a line about “a beautiful blooming spring” that she translated as “un beau ressort qui fleurit”.

“Ressort” is the mecanical part that goes “boing”. The season is “printemps”.

Technically only the first four generations are set in “Japan”.

The ones after them are set in fantasy New York, France, Hawaii, Great Britain, and Spain.

I have spent a good amount of time on world, and I agree.

Maybe I haven’t understood your point but it sounds like you’re describing people both acting maliciously and being stupid about it, so I don’t see it as a case of Hanlon’s razor.

Exchanging the item for another one that’s cheaper, even if it’s only $6 total, is still dishonest. The fact that it may not even be worth it for them in the end doesn’t change the fact it was an attempt to mislead. They were listing a product, and delivered another one.

What the hell was that excuse in the quote?

“We tried to tell our employees not to work on sundays, and then one guy told us once he couldn’t work on that friday and that he’d prefer to work on sunday!”

This is absolute bad faith, it has nothing to do with resorting to crunch. You may make your schedules more flexible, for convenience. It’s nice, but it’s comparatively not a huge deal.

Problem is when you’re making your employees work 12-hour days or a whole week with no rest day. Making it sound like one anecdote is ruining all your attempts to have an healthy work schedule is insulting to everyone.

Though by pushing grandpa to become hot shit, they make his family rich and thus give the grandkid the resources he needed to start WW3.

Hmm. Looks like it.

The wikipedia article on Homo floresiensis is wrong then. It quotes another article that says the lawyers were representing the Tolkien estate, but that article too was quoting Alloway, who apparently got it wrong. Unlike the Guardian they probably didn’t bother to check and correct the article.

For some reason, the Tolkien estate had to tell paleontologists who nicknamed an homo species “hobbits” they had to stop doing so.

But a corporation is committing pure evil under the name “Palantir” or “Anduril” and, nevermind any kind of legal action, you can’t even hear a strong word from the estate.

I guess some targets are easier than others.

I’ve played Penny’s Big Breakaway. It’s well made, and I had a bit of fun with it, but it’s not what I usualy look for in a platformer. It’s a very score-based game in which just going through a level is easy but the real challenge is doing it in style, by chaining moves and racking up combos.

You can totally enjoy something interestingly terrible. You just need the right angle.

Boring is unhealthy though.

Probably but with all the idiots fueled by sunken costs and desperate to prove they were right to invest, it could still last a long time.

I built a decent PC a couple years ago, and I don’t need to upgrade often since I don’t really care about cutting edge. So I kinda dodged a bullet, but, this sucks.

Yeah, sounds like bullshit. I don’t even see why that particular concern would create more work on the OS’s part.

If an application fits “wonderfully” into the space it’s given, Windows did nothing but telling it the dimensions it needs to fill. And as you said those dimensions can vary wildly.

I completed that game just before this update. It’s a big disappointment really. Age of Calamity was a lot more fun than this one.

Characters are boring, both in moveset and design. The zonai artefacts make everyone feel the same whereas the sheikah slate had custom moves for every characters. The unique mechanic on the right trigger for every character is gone too. The character specific attacks are technically different, but most feel like the same over all characters, and since they have long cooldowns and artifacts don’t, you’d better replace a lot of them.

The game doesn’t throw any challenge at you, even starting in hard mode. It gives you a lot of health from scratch and nothing much to lose it.

Age of Calamity had enough mess going on that you occasionally needed to juggle through characters to meet the time limit and protect allies. Often it’d throw several serious enemies at you and force you to watch out for all of them at once. The feeling of urgency never happens in Age of Imprisonment, and engaging fights only happens in the few dangerous battles they added in the post-game.

Speaking of post-game, nothing worthwhile to unlock there, though AoC had a couple special characters left to throw at you.

It’s bad enough that I restarted my AoC game to see if it was just musou fatigue and I remembered it better than it was. Nope, even in the comparatively slower early game, AoC is still fun.
