“I also blame these Twitch streamers for hyping up these games.”

I understand what people use it for, but step back and look at what the words are from the abbreviation and the context people use it when insulting others. It’s so fucking backwards.

I like that when anytime someone uses SJW in a derogatory manor, you know right off the bat what kind of person they are and can ignore everything else they say about whatever it is they’re bitching about.

Agreed, as a person that has tried playing japanese version of Fates with the english patch, I’m really glad they removed that BS... Before I played it, I was mad that they removed a part of the game but once I tried it? Nope, too creepy for me... It feels really dumb.

Ugh at this topic. I’m glad you got someone who actually does localization as a profession for the podcast, because being bilingual and playing Japanese games, I feel like a lot of these anti-PC, anti-“censorship” people don’t fucking get that a lot of shit in Japanese games literally won’t make any goddamn sense in…

Listen to the show and then tell me if we’re legitimizing any of those arguments!

Listen wherever you’d like! The show doesn’t have ads right now - we just do it for the love.

If the government or an outside body were to force a localization team to remove certain elements of the game, it’s censorship. If a company decides to change some things about their own product in localization, because of how they want to present themselves in another market, because of how gamers in another market…

Quick question while this is downloading at the coffee shop on my break: I don’t normally do this “podding” or whatever the kids these days call it, so I download these on my phone using Podcast Republic. Are you guys getting credit/metrics for this or should I go through more official channels like iTunes?

Uh how is that peanuts? Their next closest competition, FFXIV, is estimated to have 1.5 million subs.

You probably read that report wrong, the last I could find reported that they had lost 1.5 mill subs, landing at 5.6 mill active subs. This was in August 2015.

Anyone who seriously says the customer is always right has never worked for customer service lol

Fight me

Their designs have already started to grow on me. Of course that doesn’t change one fact:

I hear if you really ascend you find the GTA V jetpack.

I hear if you truly acend you get sent a link to a page to download Half Life 3 off a private p2p connection from Gabe

Yeeeeeeeaaah, I don’t think I’d be giving it any real information. Last thing I want to do is accidentally sign up for a cult. My parents might be pissed.

Vampires can be killed with wooden stakes. Writers can be killed when you attach scare quotes to the word journalist. The more you know!

Reporting! I can’t just take the internet’s word for something, and it’s important to get both sides of the story.
