@Jaunethehero1 @MeiTanteiHaru its probably tales of phantasia X, the translation would be lifebottle's https://t.co/EzK6vJZZ9H

@TheSwedishElfIX @Richard_Chuc @GameXplain Rule of cool applies here. The inflections on Einstein work so much better.

@The24thFrame The majority of people were convinced it was a completely absurd idea. Lol

[TheDeepThrustTelescopicProbe @dansingdidact]

@The24thFrame I posted a lot on the official Nintendo forums around when Twilight Princess was initially announced, I distinctly remember only a handful of people guessing that link would be transforming into a wolf (the wolf howling at the moon at the end of the announcement trailer)

[TheDeepThrustTelescopicProbe @dansingdidact]

@BunFullOfSun Yes, but not for this reason.
Also I eagerly look forward to the copious fan-art of overalls-chan.

It's almost like the standard should be faithful translation without exception, because it's not supposed to be about what any particular individual personally enjoys, it's about accurately conveying the original author's writing in English.

Unfortunately, those who need to learn that lesson the most will only selectively highlight instances of localization like this because it offends them, not because of an overarching principle that would prevent such problems in the first place.

Any other time, valid criticisms are written off with excuses like:

"that's how localization works!"
"if they didn't change it would be too bland!"
"it gives the characters so much personality!
"just learn Japanese if you want to read the original!"

completely missing the point that vandalizing someone else's story should be unacceptable across the board.

Whether it's a fan project or official release, localizers should not be rewriting the original with their own "flavorful" text, but those who overwhelmingly support such practices have made this bed & have no real grounds to complain when it happens to something they enjoy.

@thalos__ @shadow79the79 Very thorough answer, thanks!

[TheDeepThrustTelescopicProbe @dansingdidact]

@I_hyperlethal_I @Ceo__of__Swag @3XZDgg @mrjeffu Says you.

[TheDeepThrustTelescopicProbe @dansingdidact]

@NightCrydeFM Wow they seriously fucked your shit up, disrespectfully so.

@ThePayDayVault The variety of card art in the Pokemon TCG is honestly incredibly refreshing.

@katiecasper There is something ineffable about the storm sounds along with Link whimpering from the nightmare, I cannot begin to describe what it makes me feel but its a feeling that literally ONLY that sequence evokes in me. And I have had many experienceses with video games.

[TheDeepThrustTelescopicProbe @dansingdidact]

@Einarbaldvii You have made me very happy, sharing this. Thank you for this wealth of treasure. :D

[TheDeepThrustTelescopicProbe @dansingdidact]

@eruphim @Flatt0pH8r @ShitpostRock2 I'll definitely continue reading the stuff you linked then. I ping pretty hard as INTP/J on the Myers Briggs (For all of the meaning that has, still interesting nonetheless) so I expect I will probably find a lot of commonality in myself.

[TheDeepThrustTelescopicProbe @dansingdidact]

@eruphim @Flatt0pH8r @ShitpostRock2 Very interesting!

[TheDeepThrustTelescopicProbe @dansingdidact]

@eruphim @Flatt0pH8r @ShitpostRock2 How are those links related? They look interesting so I'm doing some reading of the stuff in there, but at first blush I don't understand how they and this are interrelated. Are you implying autism (or autistic communication) stems from Neanderthal genes?

[TheDeepThrustTelescopicProbe @dansingdidact]

@CBHeresy This is precisely why every student has only like 2 or 3 Primary School teachers that they actually liked and/or left an impression or made an impact. (and there's usually a ton of overlap for people about what ones they were)

[TheDeepThrustTelescopicProbe @dansingdidact]

@SudrianRails451 @_GirlSay I did already know about Ada and Byron, but I'm interested now in what other "know" figures have the connection.

@OyasumiBastet @ShitpostRock2 @Nevertobeu16739 I am choosing to disregard anything you say because of your choice of system-font.
