I’ve heard that, but I don’t understand it.  Just use a different version of the video for the ad?  There doesn’t actually seem to be a requirement for every ad to also be an independently reachable YouTube video.  So the one you release on your channel normally, don’t put that garbage in front.

Can we start embedding trailers to start at 5-10 seconds in, instead of at the beginning? So I can watch them without having it to see the brief flashing and screaming meant to attract people scrolling through a social media feed?

I thought you were supposed to be covering sports, not covering journalism. Is there some way that I, the average reader, could register my displeasure at this non-sports content to your manager? It has turned me off the idea of clicking to find out about the new Mazda lineup.

Jedi Academy on Xbox is backwards compatible on the Xbox One.  It was a Games With Gold title recently as well.  It’s Xbox One X enhanced, though I’m not sure what that means in this case.  I guess it’s upscaled to 4K?

The card still has a chip in it, it looks like.  Isn’t it going to get all scuffed when I slide it in and out of the chip reader?

I feel like Brian has to disclose something every time he mentions anything ever published by any company in Japan. He’s overly cautious, he’s very prolific, Japan’s business are all inextricably tied to each other in some way or another? All three?

Epic Games’ Fortnite

You’re betting chips, which are converted from in-game money, which can be bought with actual money. This isn’t even a loot box situation, where you are guaranteed to get _something_, even if that something is basically worthless.

...and LA’s Overwatch team

That’s the thing.  Random priest?  Rock on indeed.  Your priest?  That might fall in somewhere in the friend/sibling/parent section depending on the age of your priest and your relationship with them.

Is this a priest, or your priest?  Is this the babysitter you hired that is currently supposed to be watching your kid, or your babysitter while you are a small child?

I wonder what would have happened if the final batter had bunted and got on first.

That other line change about being worthy of my grace felt like they were trying to play up some God/Christ-like meaning to what Kaworu was saying. But that makes more sense if you keep the other line as “I love you”, since God loving His children is a common thing to say without anything sexual about it.

If my employer was being sued and a reporter asked me to comment on the thing the lawsuit was about I’d probably avoid talking about it too.

I really want it to come out that Harper has decided that all the effort of playing the best baseball isn’t worth it. So he’s just going to work to rule, coast along for 13 years and get paid his $300 million or so.

I choose to translate 絞める as pickle.  They soaked her chest in brine in the remake. 

If you just scroll down the feed, singing each one in your head, it builds this pressure that seems to increase forever (like that pattern of notes that feels like it’s going forever higher) because you never reach “Turtles in a half-shell, turtle power!”.

A non-Japanese guy I know was in Japan with his Japanese girlfriend. The two of them got on the escalator and stood on the left with the 3 people in front of them.

Why did ポケモン5分モデリング get translated as 5 Minute Pokemon Renders and not 5 Minute Pokemon Modelling?
