to be fair, that vid is more about wanting competitive cards to be lower in price, which I think is noble. on the other hand, once you learn what prices yugioh players willingly buy stuff at, they loop back around to being okay to bully

I'm marking a column in Excel with "Yes" "Maybe?? {+ optional reason}" or "No - {reason}" and Excel keeps insisting that it can predict what I'm going to do next. AI is such a disaster, and it's getting worse. "Niybe"??!!

I Hope You Get To Live Your Entire Life As A Human I thought this was going to be a review of my time with Santa Ragione's Horses, the controversial art game recently banned from Steam and the Epic Store. To some extent, this will be that but after...

I played Horses this weekend and I wrote down some messy thoughts not only on the game but especially on the specter of formalism that emerged to haunt us all for a moment.

so true, I'm watching older stuff like Onegai My Melody and I keep getting floored by the amount of insert songs. There's an element of storytelling that you can only get from two characters having a somber enka duet.

also the next guy will have to do it. and the next guy. basically you have created the translation equivalent of a curse upon your bloodline

this is more translation adjacent but if as translator or adapter you write a particular speech quirk for a major character you will have to continue writing every single line of theirs that way for the entire rest of the thing. plan accordingly

Bugs Bunny dresses up as a Goth Girl with thick mascara, black tank top, ankh necklace, mesh sleeves. She says "eh... time to evade murder by using gender tricks, Doc." She goes up to Elmer Fudd, who says "wow, you are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen." Elmer then sheepishly asks "so... how big is it?" Bugs' ears go down and she looks horrified.

My hot comic take is all wfh comic shit should be paid a salary, every other week, like everyone else at the publishing company. I’m tired of hearing about our colleagues crowdfunding funerals and healthcare.

the difference between science fiction and fantasy is that science fiction is about magic and the mystical and emotions whereas fantasy is about hard mathematical science and rules and stat systems

PC adventure games/text-heavy RPGs would probably be the obvious ones. Planescape Torment, for example, only got a Japanese fan translation (by one guy, after over 3,000 hours of work) 21 years after release:

I think a lot of "learn to code" people thought high salaries for programmers were a permanent feature of the world rather than the result of unusual circumstances around supply and demand in the labor market. Over last 20 years, CS went from a niche college major to the most popular major in the US

All of the companies that make the software I use are increasing their prices, to account for an "investment" in AI.

I'm sat here imagining how my clients would feel if I added 30% to each invoice, because I "really got into gambling".

By the way, if you're wondering why JP publisher can go so over the top with EN manga censorship like this: First, it's Apple. Apple doesn't allow "porn" on its store, and is a big fucking nanny about it. Second, it's payment processors. We know how they love to label JP content "porn".

(I don't wanna get into a whole thing in someone else's mentions, but uh, a few months of experience is *really* not enough to give you instincts that you should trust.)
