Atama Patch 1.7.1 is now live introducing major performance improvements especially to the first areas of the game. If you experienced performance issues previously, please consider trying again with the new patch.
@lispeaks_ I'm the first to admit it was a very amateurish translation (I was much younger!), but I appreciate it, and I also like some things about it better than the official localization :)
@VoidBurger This is kind of a well know anecdote, but the common name people use for First Kitchen is Fakkin (abbreviation of Faasto Kicchin). So this is a Fakkin Burger.
@MattieVvv I dunno if it's as simple as that - domestication vs. foreignization is a topic in academic literary translation studies and the latter *does* have merits. When a work is heavily cultural you might say it produces the better result even if it requires more work from the reader.
@MattieVvv I find 2 to be more true in translations into English than into any other language, and even into English it depends on the media (traditional written fiction works are largely translator/editor-lead).
Every time I visit the US I’m appalled by how sweet desserts are. It’s like you take the necessary amount of sugar required for it to taste good and double it.
Today is the 1 year anniversary of the release of Atama! Thanks to everyone who has supported the game! In celebration we are reducing the base price to $9.99, and in addition the game will be discounted on the upcoming Halloween sale.

@VoidBurger I had to skip in the VOD to the Atama trailer. You do realize you were literally *there in the room* when the conversation that led to the EEK3 trailer happened?
@VoidBurger@Gen_Ironicus See my reply to Chip about this specific case but also, Japan's copyright law is not America's. Japan doesn't have a Fair Use doctrine *at all*, so this really is an undisputed crime if we're talking straight lawbook here.
@Waffleman_@ChipCheezum Sure, and it absolutely sucks, but whataboutisms isn't much of an argument when arguing the legal merits of a specific incident.
