I wouldn't
Dude was already a millionaire
If you're poor and struggling to make ends meet or middle-class and have a giant medical expense or something I would be understanding
This is just simple greed
Of course, this is slightly different because it's a translation, and it may very well be that the second version is more accurate to the original Japanese. But it just doesn't *feel* correct to me personally.
08.10.2025 20:09 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0It isn't very different, but it's enough to bother me. I think it's in part because it's so iconic. It's like if you found a copy of Hamlet where he says, "I believe my mother protests just a bit too much." The meaning is essentially unchanged from the original, but it's not the phrase we all know.
08.10.2025 20:09 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Also I don't know how widespread this is but I definitely like NieR's original translation to the one in the v1.1etc rerelease
Though part of that is that there's a few lines that have opposite meanings from one version to the other and I don't know which is actually correct
People definitely feel this way about Chrono Trigger, at least parts of it. The DS translation reads better for the most part, but them changing the game over screen from "...But The Future Refused To Change" REALLY bugged me. I can't even remember what they changed it to, just that it annoyed me!

If you get the Weaver Queen ending, Hornet absorbs her power & becomes her successor, and it sure doesn't seem to be by choice
Although it could be that Hornet's simply unable to control that power, being only half Weaver

08.10.2025 05:29 โ ๐ 31 ๐ 2 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0DS2 gets a bad rap IMHO
It definitely has its problems but it's still a great game
Also, humorously (to me) the quest you have to do to unlock Silksong's final boss is extremely similar to something you do to fight an endgame boss in DS2
Also if you don't already have it, there's a blue tool that temporarily stops the maggots from attaching to you that can help somewhat in this fight
08.10.2025 04:03 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I believe I killed him mostly by using poisoned tools
I do agree that far too many boss fights in the game summon adds, some of them infinitely, and it can be quite frustrating
He's not a required boss fight though so if you're really stuck I'd just go elsewhere

In all seriousness I don't get why they're even doing some of this shit unless it's to funnel the unused money into ICE / their pockets

The only people who find Mamdani's statement "disgraceful" are the ones who view Palestinians as less human than Israelis.
Like y'all apparently
Doesn't help that the voice acting is awful
The protagonist's is the best but that's a low bar
Some of them sound like they just got random workers around the U.S. office to do the lines for them
Shooting a ghost will NEVER kill it the first time even at max power and they usually respond by sprinting toward you
Sometimes you can instantly break their grasp without damage and other times they'll take off half your HP
I thought maybe mashing a button got them off but it seems to be random
Like my reaction to a ghost showing up isn't "oh shit" it's "again??"
I think that's in part because the game kinda feels like it's cheating
Ghosts fade in and out of view, sometimes teleporting behind you
You're almost always in a narrow space with no room to maneuver
