I don't understand some people's feral need to defend this pedophile. It makes no sense to me. It's like the weird nerd jumping in front of a bullet headed for Elon Musk meme.

He made Thriller. Like it or not, that really means a lot to a lot of people

One song>the fact that he was a pedo rapist apparently. I will judge those people as caring about media over morals then, like it or not.

Crazy how a fucking song can get people to overlook pedophilia.

not the song, that album you jabronis.

He failed to bait a ban from a user not going along with the groupthink on MJ, he wants to be a mod so bad!

Don't know why they can't just not post in the topic. But nope, gotta go in there and start fights.

Mask off munaafiqeen. It's honestly better this way.

Munafiqeen: (singular: Munafiq) are religious hypocrites in Islam who outwardly profess belief in Allah and Islam but secretly harbor disbelief and hostility toward the faith.

Uh, I get the feeling our buddy Shoot is talking about something other than realpolitik here.

Also wasn't he permed recently, or am I imagining that?

I don't remember him being permed, but I do remember him making extremely suspicious comments surrounding that poor French teacher, who got decapitated for supposedly showing Mohammed cartoons, with Shoot implying that the teacher was being malicious. I really think he might be close to being a fundamentalist.

ClickyCarl's been banned before for that exact reason. Constantly chudchecking and ranting about being genocided, he craves conflict.

They're so fucking mad 

Don't they regularly say this about gamers?

I feel you can at least try to force them to act professional when in a IRL job than the perpetual drama queen of post tumblr generation.

Wow. Yikes. That's an oof. Okay, bigot, first of all, they're disabled and you have to make accommodations for that. Second of all, they're women and women are completely emotional and incapable of controlling them and you have to make accommodations for that. Way to show your own whole ass.

their english site is full of the requisite virtue signaling, though

Do they work for free or under industry standards?

I know that is right, I ordered pizza tonight and I swear the delivery fee creeps up everytime

I haven't had pizza in over 2 months because of the diet, but even before then I would maybe only have pizza once a month because of how absolutely outrageous the pricing has become. I can understand the price increases on a lot of different food items and whatnot, but there is literally no fucking excuse for two large cheese pizzas and six wings costing me $45 to be delivered to my door.


I remember when I used to be able to get that exact same order from the exact same chain for just 25 or $30.


That's not inflation or anything. That's just fucking greed.

The "living wage" demanders when their slop trough delivery workers pay goes up to fit their increasing status in the economy from more people ordering delivery: HOW DARE THEY, SUCH GREED!!!

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

"bububububut not all of that increase goes directly and only to those specific workers"

Oh, I'm sorry, you didn't mention that you wanted to personally micromanage the accounting of every firm on Earth, that's totally on me.

I just like how Clicky seems to have no clue about MJ.

I wonder if Clicky ever liked anything from a problematic artist? I guess I wouldn't know because they're always crying about what they hate.

[Boredfrom]

On the order of $5 billion is not a lot but I think the bigger issues is how useless those bases turned out to be. I'm not sure what benefits there are to the U.S. to rebuild them even if gulf states beg them to. They might be useful in helping gulf states stem internal revolutions but they utterly failed against the U.S.'s only adversary in the region.

Dude lives in his own world.

[Uncle]

anyone who has played a 4x game knows those bases are useful 

you get a little radius of visibility that shows you what's going on through the fog of war

Our foundation is built on a commitment to putting people first. We prioritize diversity and inclusion, stand against the decline in quality caused by the proliferation of machine translation, and
strive to remain a source of new options for our clients and end
users.

This piss me off because this localization just gives ammunition to “use machine translation” and make devs go for it than a proper translation, as they risk some retard pull shit like this.

Exactly. There aren’t enough trans members on staff.

The localization that is closer to this one is Needy Girl Overdose, which people love (great game, BTW). But that game took its liberties but wasn’t posting random political shit.

without knowing japanese though, how can you say they didn't also butcher all those other works in similar ways?

some of the examples of the changes they made seem minor, until you see the line in japanese and every language other than english

   

   

   

   

you could even argue that some of these changes aren't bad, or might be an example of better writing in context, but that's not the point of localization

why do all the other languages have no problem falling in line and maintaining the same meaning quite closely but it's always english that's fucked?

I dunno, but I suppose some high profile stuff would have alarmed everyone before if it was bad.

By that same logic, what makes you think those translations are good? People also bitch about bad Latin American localizations in animu.

but they are good, or at least accurate

you can see the japanese version, then the direct english translation of it, and the same for every other language, and so you can see that they all line up with the original japanese except for the english one

like, you mentioned bad latin american localizations...look at the "hello" one, I know enough of other languages to know that やあ and hola and salut are all variations of hey/hello, only the english one went with the deranged "yaaaa-ho~" and butchered the emoji

I don't care if those translations are better than the original, I care if they are accurate

if I want to experience something from another country, I want that experience translated across as closely as possible...if the original creator wasn't the best writer, so be it, I want the story told the way they told it

At the same time, I look at how we dealt with it back then and I feel like we were happier. People had a bit more hope and we made fun of shit more. These days people just spend their time arguing with each other and assuming the worst.

I'm fascinated by the idea of a movie somehow being a ponzi scheme. (And the evidence being people being paid for reshoots.)

Localisation/direct translation is an age old debate in all translation circles across all industries. Even mundane government information sheets have this debate.

I'm saying that just by looking at the lines as they were translated in every language, there doesn't seem to have been much debate here, everyone was in agreement of what the lines should be except english going out of its way to be massively different

almost feels like a form of elitist exceptionalism, "hmm, no, all you other languages who just boringly translated the line directly across...shame on you, you've failed to capture the spirit of the text! but I know best..."

When you really think about it, all movies are a scam. You've contributed all your life in ways that help a movie industry to exist. You've contributed in other ways to help insure that all the actors and directors and executives have an infrastructure that allows them to have careers not just in movies but by providing education, food, roads, electricity, etc. Then despite all that they expect you to pay AGAIN to see their movie. And you don't get paid anything for any of this emotional labor. Total scam. The contradictions of capitalism, colonialism and white supremacy laid bare yet again.

they're also inherently a form of misinformation, the events being shown in films didn't even really happen the way they're being shown even in a biopic, and don't even get me started on fantasy films

what if someone actually believes that star wars took place a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, and this contributes to a faulty worldview? there's no disclaimer stating that this is an intentional falsehood to frame the fiction
