Wow, I know I'm late on this one but the comment section for this post is a shitshow! Anyways I just wanted to drop in to say thank you so much for the hard work you've put into this series. As a linguistics nerd I love this kind of focus on language and translation.

I wanna be this cool when I grow up lol. I personally like to see people keep some personality in the professional world.

The game looks gorgeous!!! I'm beyond excited. Scorbunny looks cool but little sobble has taken my heart. Waiting to see the secondary types before I start to commit to one though! 

People disingenuously conflating cultural (mis)appropriation and cultural appreciation? Must be a day that ends in Y. There’s a difference between engaging in a practice that shows your appreciation and understanding of a culture within the right context (aka sharing cultures), and taking something inspired by a…

Johnnys, right? I was a fan of Kanjani 8 and NEWS before Yamapi and Ryo Nishikido left. You’re completely right - Kpop agencies have done a lot of work in making K-pop accessible.

Happens to me all the time, no worries :)

I went into Gamestop like ~2 weeks ago and tried to cancel my preorder for the Playstation classic and they assured me that no action was needed on my part as I’d have to confirm my preorder before it ships. Got an email last week saying that my payment is going to be processed soon. Just remembered today when seeing…

I mean...........that sounds like something someone who ISN’T human would say lol!

Surely there’s space to both recognize the word as a cause of great pain and an opportunity for reclamation, right? For instance, I self identify as queer but try not to use queer as a term for other people unless an individual also self-identifies as queer.

:( y'all really going to treat Mr. Mime with this level of disrespect...

What was the pricing like? 

Perfect!! Thanks for your help :)

Seems like they do!

Question! I’m thinking about importing the taiko drum peripherals from Japan for the switch. Any idea if it’ll work with the English/US version?
