In 2014 I was cleaning my room and decided that I was never going to use any of my MTG, Pokemon, or Yu-Gi-Oh cards and tossed all of them. I hoard my stuff like crazy but every once in a while go insane and throw away things that I absolutely should be keeping and this was easily the worst case

For no particular reason, I feel I should mention I updated my RPG Fan Translation Directory a few days ago with a bunch of new/missing titles, and also a very important change in the last paragraph.

You gotta just not care. I think so many people allow a small and vocal audience to shape what they say and do bc being intellectually honest and consistent in your beliefs is costly. But at the end of the day why have a platform if you won't stick to your guns

Heartbreaking: yet another programmer/tech influencer who was skeptical about AI is now shilling it. Heartwarming: after I started talking more about how much I hate AI, several people reached out to me and said that my position is refreshing and seeing it made them happy…

also. the thing people hate is not ‘the technology’ it is the tech industry. they hate move fast and break things. they hate having everything they say tracked and processed while companies do whatever they want. they hate every single ideological value that animates silicon valley

on some level, you have to accept that yes, people are reacting emotionally without doing detailed research but really you can’t blame them or stop them. this was some bullshit not a single one of us had to think about three years ago and now it’s making shit worse in like most daily interactions

people are always saying anti-AI arguments don’t understand the full nuances of the technology. which is correct. but only because it stole everyone’s work, exists solely to get you fired, has made the entire internet unusable and has been forced on everyone without consent

To be honest Kingdom Hearts 1 does not get enough credit for how good its story is and how well it all comes together. Nomura and Nojima do not just put things in because they're cool or to make people speculate and then choose their favorite fan theories, they do that but they also write good !!

If your game has a statistics tab tracking what the majority of players do, you are not providing a QOL feature. You have failed to design a game where players can feel autonomous and they can safely fail and grow confident with the systems. Just make a regular linear game at that point, it's fine.

I need more of you to sit down with Tokimeki Memorial in good faith and realize that when a game with a calendar is 5 hours long each run and not 80, the pressure to have a perfect first run evaporates. The RPGs you've played are not representative of their original strengths and context in Japan.

When translators say they hate doing MTPE because it's faster to just do it from scratch and results in better material, we're not exaggerating. If I was a proofreader and a translator handed me this, I would immediately tell the PM to fire them. No translation is genuinely better than an MT in loc.
