hey y'all,

a group of rhythm game players have gotten together to form a co-operative arcade in Toronto, Canada

they run off a membership system with 24/7 access to DDR, project diva, sound voltex cabs and some home setups.

they also occasionally host free events

@JasnTru This made me cackle

@blockwonkel At least once a week discord updates as I open it and I sigh with my face in my hands going "jfc what is it this time"

[RickCharbo @RickCharbo]

@Theswweet Very excited for all the "fun" coming in the medium-term

[RickCharbo @RickCharbo]

@Gameonysus Feeling this big time. It's a really nice game but I was hoping I'd like it a lot more than I actually am.

[RickCharbo @RickCharbo]

@debaoki Gotcha. And very valid criticism!

Just noticed from the comments that the phrasing of "translated/typeset by orange AI" probably led people to think this is an AI translation when it is in fact not.
I def don't intend to defend the AI lettering though. It's not great

[RickCharbo @RickCharbo]

@debaoki Don't get me wrong, I think discussing the quality of the AI lettering is important (I'm pretty anti AI myself most of the time).

But alot of ppl are conflating Orange with their translations and that's not what Orange's AI is supplying. People are supplying those translations.

[RickCharbo @RickCharbo]

@debaoki For the record, I know the translator for this one and they're not an AI. Most if not all of TLs coming out of Orange atm are human. where possible, might be worth being careful of how the critiquing is phrased. Any shots at the translation is a shot at a member of the community

Hajimete no Otsukai is not a documentary about creatures in a zoo. It's a show MADE TO ENTERTAIN JAPANESE PEOPLE by showing them something entertaining: a child who is not ready to run errands running errands.

@FilipeDimas You're a bad person

[RickCharbo @RickCharbo]

@PenguPooh Biggest surprise for me early in my work life in Japan was when I was worked an information counter in a Japanese tourist town and how, despite people from all over the world coming up to ask questions, the customers who regularly had the crummiest attitude were the Japanese ones

[RickCharbo @RickCharbo]

@FilipeDimas There's an autumn-season-only apple pie ice cream bar in convenience stores here and it too is the best thing I've ever eaten, so I 100% believe this.

[RickCharbo @RickCharbo]

@limeslimetime Oh god anything but the commas

(Also happy birthday)

This captures one of my favorite - and totally underrated (I mean, we only did it this once in season 7?) - aspects of Simpsons family relationships...

The fact that Bart thinks Homer is truly funny. I love that.

@DougDinsdale @TokyoGameLife Super unsurprising that suits are responsible for shitty box arts and would let something as massive as DBZ (and just anime in general at the time tbh) fly so far under their radar.
