NOT FRODO GETTING NIHONGO JOUZU'D BY THE ELVES

LRT now that i think about it maybe that's one of the things that makes FFVIII so singular (to me)? I think it might be the only one of those games I ever played at a time when text box timing and layering over one another in that way was a thing. ace attorney does pretty similar though

a big thing when it comes to jrpgs is that in the 90s they offered a kind of storytelling you genuinely could not get anywhere else. the mixture of scale, music, sparse dialogue, theatrical sets of repeated animations etc. that kinda goes away overnight when voice acting is introduced

I sometimes remember how extraordinarily the PSX FF games got at realizing the feel of natural dialog through text boxes. Text boxes overlapping one another for interruption, timed text boxes, text boxes shifting position to indicate little conversational nuances

jesus fuck

a thing historians will marvel about when they study this era is the extent to which the "war is a thing that happens to poorer, browner people" class went about systematically dismantling every aspect of the global political order that confined the costs of war to poorer and browner people

In May '25, a beloved Australian games website was sold off. It went dark then, a month later, rose from the dead but stuffed full of gambling links and AI authors. It wasn't the first time, or the last time, this exact thing had happened. And it's still happening. My months-long investigation 👇

it was already apparent from his youtube series, but it's so interesting seeing how other people react to Sakurai's incredibly focused directorial style

Just wanted you guys to see “Riding in a golf cart fatly”

Every professional translator I know has the same position on this and can easily explain the reasons for it when asked. The fact that executives don't even bother to ask and force translators to work on AI/MTL slop regardless makes it clear where their priorities lie: money trumps quality.

They announced my stretch goal for Blades '68! Let's get to $390,000 so I can write about The Inaugural Crowfoot Wargaming Convention of '68 (which split of from the Charterhall Conference On Historical and Strategic Wargames that started two years before). www.backerkit.com/c/projects/e...

the inevitable endpoint of ai shit is looking at a bright light that triggers brainwaves that trigger dopemine receptors in your head imho while companies steal all your money forever

in a political world embodied by a bag of flaming dog shit the new opposition spokesperson calling the Australian kids stuck in syria 'so-called children' is an absolute new low one of them was 2 when they got stuck in the camps. they're 14 now. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Media Do's known for using AI translations, which is bad enough. But the egregious misuse of quotation marks on their English site tells me a lot about what they think of actual translators and our expertise. "Human resources", indeed.

the best way to describe my wife's spice tolerance is that this is the second time in two weeks she's accidentally tear-gassed half the house making stir fry with chilli

"Pre-emptive strike" is and always has been propaganda speak for "we started another war"

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

some brief thoughts about cairn. might make some kinda media thread at some point itsjintor.bearblog.dev/on-cairn/

I remember how the “shock and awe” of the US attack on Iraq ended in decades of broken cities, broken people and broken promises. Trump’s and Netanyahu’s bombs today can only produce more of this in Iran. Australia must reject this illegal attack.
