Filipino slumming it in the USA. Live heroically and with style. I edit manga now. Former Sega/ATLUS localization, previously Flavor Flav's website guy, wrote a bunch for a content mill He/Him Lvl 162 HUmar

It's really unfortunate and more than a little vexing these locs weren't redone for the HD collection. Keep the originals as a toggle if you want, but even as a money-saving measure, it's pennies on the dollar. By my math, even with a high TL budget, they'd have broken even with like 5000 copies.

Since @drewgmackie.bsky.social brought it up, I wanted to compare these lines between the English and Japanese versions of Lunar Eternal Blue. In English, Ruby implies that Leo might be gay, but in the Japanese version, she complains about Leo being rude and arrogant to them in their own house

Life is stressing me the fuck out once again and I am thinking about developing a new micro-obsession to escape from it This time I'm flip-flopping between "I should build a full racing sim setup" and "I should get really into listening to music on MiniDisc"

My hot take (?) on 007 is that there are 3 good movies & the rest of the series fluctuates between "so bad it's good" and just plain bad. Fast & Furious level writing (which is fine for what it is!) but for some reason a certain type of dude treats the series as culturally foundational C I N E M A

If SCREEN were to pass, you'd be required to scan your face and upload an ID to access this site because it allows "harmful" material. This affects you even if you don't care about sex work or porn.

Mike Lee's SCREEN Act, which heads to Senate Commerce Committee for markup on Wednesday, would expand age verification requirements to a nearly limitless scope of websites, and is supported by the architects of Project 2025.

If you've ever worked retail in the US then you understand that yes, Nintendo absolutely needs to remind the average consumer here repeatedly that they are a video game company showing a video game and the thing you are looking at currently is a video game that is played on a video game system

They still do, at least Nintendo of America does. If you watch a UK Nintendo Direct you'll see that they just say "game" instead of "the [game] game" like in the US. Which means that they make the narrator record two versions of the same line every time he mentions the name of a Nintendo game.
