I am losing my fucking mind trying to get tickets processed by anything other than a fucking machine. It has been TWENTY ONE DAYS without a response other than a machine automatically closing them.

Do better, Discord.

Get it out of the fucking support system as fast as humanly fucking possible.

It's much easier to make the people you don't like the "other", after all

The recognizable "Kokuhaku"/"Confess" heart from the Kaguya-sama series.

...?

The most perfect example of why the Netflix approach to anime subtitling doesn't work for anime, try watching Komi Can't Communicate—a Netflix license—on Netflix.

It is borderline incomprehensible at many times because ofthe show's reliance on using on-screen text as dialogue for the main heroine.

I simply do not egosearch

Update on this: per suggestion by the ANN bsky account I sent a message to moderation asking why my posts got deleted. I was told I broke the rule of "Self-promotion is only allowed if it has value, is relevant, and creates discussion for this forum" despite my posts easily clearing those conditions

my own experiences in the general japanese-media-adjacent industry (in the contractor sphere at least) makes this behavior a complete non-surprise, honestly

lots of egos that don't like to be dented, and many people who resort to blacklisting and slander when something they don't like happens

The whole model is a sham and most companies don't give half a shit about basically any of their loc staff.

We need to do something about it. Is that somehow unionizing? Is it moving away from the gig culture that is mass contracting? I don't know, but this shit isn't working.

Eventually, after—I assume—asking one too many times, they simply terminated me instead.

Three years of working crunch schedules when translators stalled, to the point of meeting almost impossible deadlines, working over christmas, etc, and your reward is to ostensibly be told to go fuck yourself.

This whole thing reminds me about something that happened to me a couple of years back: I asked for months at JNC for further communication on follow-up projects as my contracted one was closing in on completion and got nothing back. Completely stonewalled by my superiors.

Xythar made this version, albeit with a red border at the time, for Angel Beats BDs (rest in peace) in summer of 2014. It didn't make it into a release until 2015 though, yeah.

is this really my legacy now

I know of at least a few dozen fansub projects completed inside the last decade that would question the validity of that last claim.

Can we not erase the hard work a lot of people have put in for absolutely nothing more than the love of the medium, thanks?

maybe the loc industry needs to be burned to the ground and rebuilt from scratch, actually

what the fuck did I just read

the absolute fucking nerve and audacity

...people forget that lots of absolute shitters loved throwing things into google translate

choosing to slaughter one of their cash cows is one hell of a bold move, I'll give them that

I mean they're obviously basically the same thing right?

oh yeah for sure

as well as the N64 controllers

in fairness, the Xbox 360 rant is/was a translation decision to make an insanely obscure otaku-adjacent rant make sense to the average reader

it wasn't actually there in the source unlike this lmao

all other opinions aside: the question marks have ahoges and that is fucking adorable

oh okay, that makes sense then

either I don't understand how blocking works on bsky vs twitter or I'm also blocked by who/whatever you've quoted

interesting 🤔

I saw the stats after getting it in one and was kind of disappointed, ngl

CR cuts enough costs as it is, ain't no way they're going to waste money making something less-than

As it's almost that time of year again:

Dear English developers,

Dating sims and VNs are not joke genres.
