I think a good way of recognizing difficulties in translation and localization is to think of two things and how should you translate them.

Yes, but none of the others have said they’ll bomb the Middle East for oil. None of the others are dumb enough to think they will make Mexico pay for a gigantic wall. None of the others kept a copy of Hitler’s speeches next to his bed. None of the others want to make Muslims carry around identification cards, and when…

Look into Trump even a little, even just listen to the things he says. If he’s not evil, nobody is.

Here’s the thing: he did this, first and foremost, for his daughter. It’s hard enough to get some young girls into gaming, let alone retro gaming, especially since most old games didn’t have girls as playable characters. Perhaps you don’t have kids, but it’s a lot easier to get them into it if they can be someone…

You clearly don’t have kids. My best friend has a four year old daughter and when she came over to my house, she plays a Mario Maker level I made for her. It’s extremely easy and just makes her learn how to move and jump at the same time. But it also makes her Palutena, and when she turns into a girl she gets really…

Because there aren’t a lot of classic games that allow you to be a female protagonist, which is something that definitely appeals to young girls, as I’ve seen from my friend’s daughter. When she got to play as a girl (using amiibo costumes) in Mario Maker, she got really excited. This is just letting more young…

It’s a text hack available to anyone. It’s not like he’s destroyed the original game in any way. He literally changed pronouns. In fact, even with the new pronouns it could still be understood as male. The original game is untouched, and this is just a slightly different way to experience it. It’s no different than…

Thanatos is the Greek word for death. I think you mean Thanos.

The tools are amazing, but it’s a lot harder to make a quick 1v1 map for me and a buddy.

I expect it to be touching but hopeful, rather than sad.

Fun video but classic Gameboy did not have a backlit screen like that.

That seems like an appropriate reaction.

It’s not just because people get outraged, it’s because it’s unnecessary and doesn’t appeal to most of the game’s western audience. It amazes me that when something clearly pandering to its Japanese audience (that is clearly only there because of “external pressure” of fan expectations) isn’t brought to the west, it’s…

I am unashamed to say that I listened to the soundtrack for this movie so much as a kid. Loved it. Especially that Vitamin C song.

Trump has a lot of supporters. People’s stupidity en masses will never be better exemplified.

My 10th grade biology class used to have a sign in the back that said “science is jawsome!”

I hope they have gyro aiming at least

Working within confines doesn’t make art worse. Some artists actually prefer the challenge.

You honestly think TMNT is more obscure than Korra?

The r/smashbros mods did an amazing job of keeping information available while preventing spoilers on the front page. I watched it live, but it wouldn’t be spoiled for someone else.
