Lawd shut these liberals up talking about how encampments never came back after Trump's election like nobody's out here caring about Palestine anymore. Those students were brutalized by militarized police & their campuses barred them from organizing! It was Biden's doing! They're still organizing!

“Palace Master–” Nightmare’s voice came from outside. “Come in,” Ouyang Qingcheng’s cherry lips moved as she called out flatly. The door creaked open, and Nightmare’s figure appeared before them. “Palace Master, something’s happened.” Nightmare didn’t even pause to bow to Ouyang Qingcheng. He spoke urgently the moment he entered. His handsome face showed great agitation, making Ouyang Qingcheng raise her delicate brows.

(and the differences between those can actually affect the understanding of plot and characters, given that your gongzhus, first rank princesses, have privileges regarding their position in their marriages that junzhus and xianzhus don't!!!)
26.02.2026 08:29 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0which is interesting to me bc those same translators will leave your xiaojies and darens and gongzis and shifus in, but will translate gongzhu, junzhu, xianzhu, all of them, just as 'princess', which is often a valid choice, BUT all those three DO mean something different w/ no clear eng equivalent
26.02.2026 08:26 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0but there is no reason to not translate addresses like xiaojie into miss/young miss or gongzi into young master! none!!!
26.02.2026 08:23 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0as for the pinyin... some of that feels quite orientalising and fetishising? like i understand leaving in your geges and jiejies and meimeis, since there isn't a good equivalent for that sort of affectionate address towards non-family, that's true!
26.02.2026 08:23 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0abt the footnotes, the fantranslators often are extremely explanatory and almost apologetic abt any smallest change they make to the original text in order to make it readable - explaining some translation choices is fun! but sometimes it gets to be... a lot
26.02.2026 08:23 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0really annoyed that the best way to assuage ppl's fears about your webnovel translations being ai-made is to include over-abundant footnotes and to leave in as many honorifics and forms of address in pinyin as possible

“Halt–“ Suddenly, a group of black-clad men burst from the forest beside the road. They weren’t masked, and each one looked fierce and malicious, wielding sabers as they blocked the Weiyuan Escort Agency’s path. “What bandits dare to block the Weiyuan Escort Agency?” The two men on horseback simultaneously drew their swords, warily watching the black-clad group. Behind them, the other guards also gripped their weapons, on high alert. “Less talk. Leave the goods.” Leading the black-clad men was a thin middle-aged man. His narrow, deep-set eyes looked at the two on horseback as he barked the command. His entire being radiated an icy aura — clearly not someone easy to deal with.

“The poison has also been suppressed. It won’t flare up for some time.” “So we can move against them now?” The middle-aged man’s eyes narrowed, filled with hatred and violence. He could hardly wait to take his revenge, to tear apart everyone who had trampled on him… “Yes,” the white-robed young man nodded. “I’ve secretly trained a group of death warriors1. They can act at any time.” “What should we do?” The middle-aged man didn’t dare underestimate the young man. Besides, he no longer had Ximen Fortress backing him, so naturally he would follow his lead.

“This is rabbit meat?” Dongfang Yao glared at him, her bright eyes blazing. “Are you trying to fool a ghost, or are you blind? This is clearly a cockroach, and you’re calling it rabbit meat?” She was furious. If she hadn’t been sharp-eyed, that cockroach would have gone into her mouth. Just thinking about it made her sick. “Yes, and this food isn’t fresh either. It tastes like dead meat.” Xiao Gu also set down his chopsticks and spoke to the waiter. No wonder there was no business despite just opening — this was clearly a dishonest establishment. “Honored guests, you can’t make such accusations.” The waiter’s face suddenly changed, his narrow eyes glaring viciously at them. “How is this a cockroach? It’s obviously rabbit meat.” Then, to everyone’s astonishment, he swiftly grabbed the cockroach from Dongfang Yao’s chopsticks, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed a few times, and swallowed it. Dongfang Yao and the others were so shocked their jaws nearly dropped, followed by a wave of nausea.

Ouyang Qingcheng ignored him, stroking Little Ball’s soft fur. Gurgle gurgle– Suddenly, Ye Yanxuan’s stomach made a noise, drawing everyone’s attention. Chu Yifan’s smile grew even more wicked, his sensual thin lips curving as he looked down at Ye Yanxuan. “Xiao Xuan is hungry?”

Nightmare’s style combined hardness and softness with exceptional internal power. After just a few exchanges, Yiwa was about to be defeated. Suddenly, a white-clad figure joined the fight, immediately changing the situation. The white-robed man was about twenty years old with deep features, wheat-colored skin, and black hair with brownish highlights bound high. A few naturally curly strands fell across his forehead, and his entire being exuded a resolute aura. “Young Master–” Yiwa called out excitedly upon seeing the newcomer. The white-robed man nodded. While exchanging blows with Nightmare, he instructed her: “Go take care of the miss.”

The young woman’s heart pounded at the sight, her cheeks growing even hotter. But Chu Yifan’s words stunned her. Right — why should he tell her his name? “Miss–“ Her little maid caught up, panting heavily, her small face flushed red from the sun, thin sweat beading on her forehead. But when she got a close look at Chu Yifan and the others, she too was stunned. Wow, they were even more dazzling up close. “Yiwa1–” The young woman was in an awkward position when she heard her maid’s voice and grasped at her like a lifeline. The little maid collected herself, then bowed to Chu Yifan and the others.

“Master, junior sister is the cutest!” Ye Yanxuan was undoubtedly Ouyang Qingcheng’s most loyal fan, reflexively defending her against Chu Yifan’s words. Chu Yifan slapped his forehead. Heavens, even Xiao Xuan wasn’t on his side. “Xiao Xuan, don’t you want to see the doll smile?” He turned his head and looked at Ye Yanxuan very seriously. Ye Yanxuan blinked, then answered just as seriously:

Honestly I personally really like knowing what the end goal of a game is, even suggesting what an overarching campaigns big "Moments" will be during session 0
I find too many campaigns are over ambitious these days, dragging out and even stalling. Aiming for smaller mkre focused games is a win imo

So when you think about this, do you also think about JKRowling's relentless campaign to brand Imane Khelif, who lives in Algeria, as a cross-dressing trans cheater who is secretly a man just pretending to be a woman to access women's private spaces and violate them?
So much evil we can't keep up.
That Rocky Horror is not in the Criterion Collection is a travesty.
