www.lesswrong.com/posts/AfoGGr... I don't use LLMs in my own work, but I've been following nostalgebraist since GPT-2, and there's no one I trust more to give an insightful, measured, unbiased assessment of AI capabilities. This was a fascinating perspective on the recent cybersecurity incidents.

Ever wonder what all those Japanese (and Greek) signs in FFVII's backgrounds say? I made a series of videos going over each one in plot order. You can see the supercut for free over on the Last Elixir Patreon. Enjoy! www.patreon.com/LastElixirPr...

Just had an unnerving epiphany that we're about to enter a very weird era where, for much of the internet that has not been archived*, the only living records will be in the lossily compressed neural nets of various LLMs. *stuff like romhacking documentation buried in discord logs

Crime Crackers's main dialog proportional font is fully working! Haven't settled on an actual font yet and the text isn't final by any means, but it's working :) @rahanakero.bsky.social (who did Splatterworld) has translated all of Act 1 so far!

Crime Crackers memory card screen. The dialog text says "If you're starting fresh, then select NEW GAME. Otherwise, choose a file!" NEW GAME is highlighted in yellow.

Crime Crackers story screen. Emilia on the top of the screen is saying "Phew, it's been nothing but work lately, huh? Hey, guys... Don't you wanna take a break soon?" Parrot on bottom of the screen is saying "Oh, that would be splendid. Us old-timers aren't supposed to work this hard, you know."

Another story screen. Emilia is saying "Set a course for the Bolero! Trace that SOS, full speed ahead!" The other character (whose name I'm not sure we've settled on yet) is saying "Aww, but I was gonna go shopping..."

Action screen. Emilia is saying "Okay, team! If we take out the pirates' leader, they'll scatter like rats!" One of the other characters is mid-blink and looks quite smug.

I made a page for the translation of Dragon Quest VI SFC to a cleaner, less buggy English/SNES version. The effort is going well and it's been an interesting exercise to figure it all out. More to come: cleartonic.net/dq6/

The severity of the threat posed by CopyFail—and the likelihood of active exploitation—is high enough to warrant all Linux users to investigate their systems immediately.

this knocked me out

I’ve gone a long time without talking about how I translate game text. I don’t mean within this writeup, I mean ever. I’ve published several videos on the technical side of fan-translation and a big fat zero on the actual art of localization. The reason for this is very simple: I don’t want to deal with social media localization piranhas. There has never been a time more hostile to localizers with the entire industry in chaos over being replaced with AI, uprisings against “wokealizers”, and every possible excuse to raise controversy where it doesn’t exist. How bad is it, you ask? In my recent romhacking video I used a thumbnail with the simplest, most direct translation I could find in the script, specifically so that nobody could complain. The line was:

友枝小学校の４年生

I’m a 4th-grader at Tomoeda Elementary.

<picture of Hilltop's thumbnail for the video in question, with the image caption below it being "The thumbnail in question">

I really want to emphasize that this is a completely direct translation. Any change to it at all would make it worse. But was it good enough for the piranhas? Fuck no! Believe it or not, someone showed up in the replies and tried to argue that the order of the words should be 100% preserved through translation and that it should be the perfectly SOVLfully accurate:

At Tomoeda Elementary I am a 4th grader.

There are two Goemon RPGs for Game Boy Color that have never been translated. I created tools that will be useful for translating these games (if anyone is ever interested in doing so). You can read more about it here: ko-fi.com/post/Goemon-...

Here's Phil Foglio's 1983 cover for Robert Asprin's Hit or Myth. The model for the demon was Foglio's friend Greg Ketter, owner of Dreamhaven Books in Minneapolis, who was recently photographed walking through tear gas at age 70 to protest the ongoing ICE invasion www.blackgate.com/2021/01/12/g...

A bearded demon with glasses and a guy in a tunic are in a tent labelled “K’tier Abu’s Djin Mill.” They react in horror as a cloud of djins escape their bottles, since a shelf of them has been knocked over by a wide, purple, smiling guy in a black hat that has burst through the back of the tent.

A bearded old guy with glasses pushes through a cloud of white smoke, walking along a snow-covered sidewalk near a tiny bare tree.
