    After recently learning about just how much Unicorn Overlord's English script has changed from the JPN original, I absolutely refuse to ever play it, no matter how good it may be.

    There is NO excuse for a "localisation" job this botched.

    Sure, some touching up is to be expected, but making every single character so needlessly verbose, using overly-complex language? Eliminating the possibility of female characters being shocked or scared, in favour of making them more stoic and 'less vulnerable'? Fuck right off with that.

    Those changes are far too drastic, and the second example (the one about female characters) means they're not as emotionally varied - and good, well-liked characters tend to express a series of emotions. Instead, they're far more flat and one-note, which kills their characterisation appeal.

    I've never watched a single Studio Ghibli movie - never knew about them as a kid.

    According to TV Tropes, Grave of the Fireflies was released theatrically as a double-feature - the other one being My Neighbour Totoro. So that's interesting; @impeeza, would you consider that the best double-feature ever?

    humm to my knowledge for Ghibli a double-feature is not enough you can see 10 one after other with no problem at all!!!

    as my granma used to say: Ghibli es como kokoriko, ¡no tiene presa mala!

    (kokoriko is a local fried and roasted chicken chain, which traidtionally is the best, so the people used to say there is no bad piece of Kokoriko chicken) so Ghibli, like Kokoriko have no bad piece!!

    P3R is getting The Answer! Making it the definitive P3 release!

    On a sad note, those who watch Scott's Thoughts (a Pokémon 'speedrunner' of sorts) will know that GameHook has *also* been deleted from GitHub. GameHook, well, hooked into the code of RBY and Crystal, allowing for easy RAM watching and editing.

    Yeah, true enough - even if Lua scripting isn't as beginner-friendly as an app - but with the recent several takedowns I thought it was worth bringing up.

    @poughstings There's already a mod for it, for the base game, so who cares?
    Besides, The Answer also has a female PC in the form of Aigis, so either way there IS a "feMC".

    I just realised - the "Switch 2" (official name TBD) is supposedly coming out next year.
    Nintendo certainly doesn't want it to be exploited as easily as the Switch, or for "Switch 2" emulators to be made so quickly.

    Maybe that's why they're scaring people off the topics right now.

    It's the reason why they're hiring "hackerz" and pay them to find vulnerabilities, just like with the "Switch 1". Because Nintendo wants people to know that a non-exploitable console is more exciting than one with emulation capabilities.

    I'm so tired of public sexual harassment accusations; why not settle it in court instead of on social media?
    First it was ProJared, several years ago, and just last month it was Chuggaaconroy being hit. Jared hasn't been the same since, and who knows when Emile will return to his high-quality LPs? Such an absolute pain for everyone, so just stop posting accusations on social media instead of in the courtroom.

    This didn't used to happen in the early-to-mid 2010s, or earlier; so much better, that was. No pointless distractions hindering creators from releasing high-quality, comedic and entertaining content. Things have gown downhill significantly since then...

    The new "Madame Web" movie makes no sense - in the comics, she's always been a psychic guide for Peter Parker whenever multiversal events occur, and she's an old woman with muscle weakness.

    She doesn't do anything active, as she physically can't. The movie makes no sense.
    AkiraKurusu
    AkiraKurusu
    It would've been cool for Madame Web to appear in an actual Spider-Man movie, though; surprised she didn't appear when the older Spideys and their foes were appearing in the new one's world.

    They could've done her a lot more faithfully and respectfully, is all - show that old women with muscle weakness can still be helpful, if they have psychic powers.

    I've only ever heard of one squid game, come to think - that being Splatoon.

    If there's any others, I know nothing about them.

    Did the job interview yesterday afternoon, and I think it went well, hopefully it did.
    I was able to answer every question, though I unfortunately had to make up one answer. I'd very much like that job; it'd be a major bummer if I don't.

    Got a job interview on Tuesday afternoon...my very first in-person one (all my previous ones were through Teams or Zoom), as well.

    Y'know, what with the renaming of culturally-insensitive sports teams and food products over the last several years (such as Aussie's "Coon" cheese becoming "Cheer"), I'm surprised "rapeseed" hasn't become an issue yet.
    AkiraKurusu
    Despite me loving spicy food, I don't like hot sauce - it tends to look weird, smell weird, and taste weird. I've tried numerous sauces, too.
    Nah; I'd prefer to just add chili flakes or spicy peppers whilst cooking, rather than pour hot sauce after it's cooked.

    Yes Abuelita is a pet name for grandmother is a way you start to call her as toddler and it stays for ever, something like Mimma, nonna, granny, etc.

    Exactly when you add cayenne you are intensifying the others flavors on the dish.
    AkiraKurusu
    AkiraKurusu
    Anyway, I'd rather add a decent (but not overpowering) amount of cayenne pepper or chili flakes to my eggs/pasta/pizza, instead of pouring hot sauce onto them - and for other foods, I don't add any pungency at all. I don't even know what people typically add hot sauce to - burritos? There's already burrito sauce for that, though.
    impeeza
    impeeza
    Yes, normally the supermarket "sauces" are eyesore to cook, you replace all the dish flavor with a strong different one, instead seasoning with spices are the best result.

    One way macOS is superior to Windows: when you restart, it automatically remembers all the windows (and tabs) you had open, so no productivity is lost.

    Unlike my Windows experience, where everything is closed and you're forced to recall what might've been open and manually launch everything again - UGH.

    Doesn't that reopen "all" windows only apply to explorer? I only know of that one, and I don't even know how it'd work for other programs.
    Pretty sure macOS is capable of exactly restoring others programs' windows though, assuming that program supports it properly.

    If you're fine with only explorer windows, follow this:

    Can't fit an edit: for XP (and possibly up to 7, I don't remember) just search for "Folder Settings" instead of steps 1-4, it used to be separate.

    I think about that sort of thing a lot. There was a Need For Speed MMO, "NFS: World" that I played a lot when I was young, I had a ton of fun with it. Racing online and customizing your cars for the world to see blew my mind - I'd still totally play something like that if it existed. It didn't meet EA's microtransaction sales numbers, though, so it got axed :<

    I'm also sad it flopped. Some new friends got me to buy it so we could all play together, and it was fun, but I went in blind and apparently it was intended to be a PVP-centric game, which has never been my bag. They made a last-minute handful of PVE/non-PVP content to attract more players but then the game was also buggy.

    The thing I ended up uninstalling for was when it turned out my healing staff's LMB attack being able to heal players a tiny bit was a bug and not a feature and got patched out, best as I could tell.

    Is it just me, or is "groom" just a weird word?
    If you "groom" yourself, you're tidying yourself up. The male version of a 'bride' is the 'groom', too.
    Yet if you "groom" someone else, it's a crime involving training them to see something bad as harmless - how did this massive difference develop?

    Is it just me, or is "Greek yogurt" just revoltingly sour? It's rancid, compared to the standard vanilla yogurt.
    It's just like sour cream - completely unpalatable.

    I love it with lots of honey, counteracts the sourness.
