It is literally the easiest thing in the world to get a medical discharge. I know of someone who got it for claiming erectile dysfunction. There are so many resources for how to leave. If you stay it is a choice and a genocidal one. And I have no sympathy

I sometimes remember how extraordinarily the PSX FF games got at realizing the feel of natural dialog through text boxes. Text boxes overlapping one another for interruption, timed text boxes, text boxes shifting position to indicate little conversational nuances

"Assassin's Creed 3 is like the sixth or eigth game depending on how you count" - Funny

"Kingdom Hearts 3 is roughly the 13th game" - Extremely Funny

"Beatmania 3 is the 13th one but they never made beatmania 4 and instead made 32 sequels to beatmania 2, which is the fifth one" - True Masterwork

Aaaaaaaand that's the last major English manga publisher that's now no longer independent!

At this point, the English manga industry is now made up of either "major" publishers that are all owned by bigger corporations (most of which Japanese), or small publishers that are independently owned

THAT is the problem with "better than nothing". MTPE fan TL is worse than nothing. It's actively detrimental to the games supposedly being translated and the community at large.

It makes players associate the game with slop.

It forestalls good-faith translations.

It wastes everyone's time.

THREAD.

Better than nothing is UNACCEPTABLE.

I'm already sick of "It's all a distraction from Epstein" replies. This regime is killing innocent people because our leaders are all power-hungry tyrants and war profiteers. When you say it's "just a distraction" you minimize the gravity of what's happening and the lives lost.

If you feel that use of AI art assets at any stage of the process is an automatic out, but ChatGPT translations are fine if they're "checked" by people, it might be worth asking yourself why that is. Because it sounds a whole lot like valuing the work of translators less than other creatives to me.

Goodness me, that's depressing. I was going to say "Segagaga deserves better" but in truth, every game deserves better than a shitty genAI "translation".

Players deserve better, too.

News like this isn't going to get fan tls all fired up and willing to do full alt rewrites, they'll just leave.

I'll be honest, I think even if the segagaga team hadn't admitted to using machine translation people would have figured it out pretty fast based on what I saw in the first 15 mins of play

"I hope you die" is weak. "I hope that obscure Japanese-only game you wanna play gets a fan translation done entirely by ChatGPT" is way more hurtful. It's real. It could happen to anyone.

Translations set global legacies for works and if you're not prepared to handle those ramifications, then stay away. If anyone on the team sees this, I sincerely urge you to rescind this patch and think deeply what you have done. This isn't a matter of ideology; it's about responsibility, period

I say this as a professional who came up from fan translation and has friends at Sega who will likely never get to work on this officially: when you fan translate ANYTHING that was previously untranslated, you have a deep, heavy responsibility in setting people's first and typically only impression.
