@satorukun_0530 I still think the nuance "rebel" might be in there somewhere, as the idea is quite central to the game, and ひねくる was used before, so maybe this is a bit of a wordplay too. (though the main meaning seems to be something like "messed up/twisted" as you say)

[Simon Piano @piano_simon]

Comparing the Japanese original text of Final Fantasy 7 to the translation is often interesting.
Tifa in the original says (more directly translated) "You're a rebel, cloud, aren't you!" instead of "You're sure messed up, Cloud!", though that's quite humorous!

@satorukun_0530 Thank you for the info, very much appreciated!

[Simon Piano @piano_simon]

@satorukun_0530 Oh, it seems like you're entirely correct here! You're right that one should consider monolingual dictionaries. I just knew ひねくる meant "to be contrary/to rebel" in a different sentence and the J-E entry for ひねくれ者 affirmed this, so I didn't double-check :)

@ClydeMandelin note to self and anyone wondering: the link works when you change https to http in Chrome.

[Simon Piano @piano_simon]

@ClydeMandelin Looks like the link is down. I guess you'll keep us updated :)

@textfiles @MoonBr1ght @annocinema @textfiles maybe you could link the raw subtitle files in the description on archive?

@IkariKiller69 The NHK doc is licensed/not shareable I believe, but the EoE video is here:

@PacePalsTTV So who is part of PacePals and where can we find you? :)

@Alexis95747214 @bluelynxmktg @davinpicard @RaoulGMI Okay, now i get what you mean. Yeah, that's possible. That potential divergence will have to be evaluated. By the way, it's "contango", not "contago".

[Simon Piano @piano_simon]

@Alexis95747214 @bluelynxmktg @davinpicard @RaoulGMI And as i said, there may be a tracking error, but i'm not an expert to evaluate that beforehand or contango. As i said, if you're afraid of contango etc., you can use an existing ETN that's purely BTC backed.

[Simon Piano @piano_simon]

@Alexis95747214 @bluelynxmktg @davinpicard @RaoulGMI Yes, futures are not the same as the spot (direct) market, but ideally they should track (follow) the BTC value. The tracking error has to be evaluated. There are also already purely physical BTC ETCs and ETNs which seem to track well. (Also FYI see https://t.co/sqEYkpZdxC)

[Simon Piano @piano_simon]

@bluelynxmktg @davinpicard @RaoulGMI That may be. Some may not need to own crypto, for them it's a diversification in their portfolio, probably mostly filled with funds and stocks. You don't have to be a crypto enthusiast with a wallet to invest in crypto. But I'm not taking a stance, just answering the question.
