I’m a native English and Japanese speaker. I’m an attorney who specializes in international litigation, and particularly linguistic aspects of evidence. I’ve translated 100 page long contracts where every word of the contract needs to match the corresponding legal meaning in the other language.

Not a chance. It’s literally a manga about decoding and solving puzzles. When the puzzles are language-based, as many of them are, they become difficult or even impossible to translate, let alone localize. I promise you, the writer (singular, not writers) is spending his time thinking up compelling puzzles as well as…

Watterson ended the strip for a reason - the same reason he also refused to license toys, cartoons, video games, or literally any official merchandise at all.

i could put 100 coats over the top of it and id still know it was a cursed space

It’s never just one. And now it’s all going to come out. My sympathy for the victims and anyone who wasn’t contributing to this culture and how it may impact their careers.

and once told her a t-shirt she wore stating “The Future is Female” made him sad.

I appreciate the resurfacing of the articles! I was thinking about this lately. Started High on Life a few weeks ago and was ambivalent about it. I’d seen enough of R&M to get the shtick, and would have dropped except for the fact that Non-Rouland characters were kind of interesting and I found that I liked the art…

This makes Tammy Guterman marying Birdperson even more unsetling. It also explains why there’s a character like Tricia Lange.

It’s like this guy took lessons from John K

There’s a thread on Twitter with multiple victims posting their stories and DMs/texts from Roiland. It’s starting to sound like he was grooming girls as young as 16.

Yeah, I was just thinking that. Departures from the source material like replacing/reimagining characters sound like literally the opposite of FMA: Brotherhood.

“Paul, who’s been on something of a redemption arc these last few years following the “suicide forest” fiasco in December 2017"

What possible sequence of events could have occurred for you to put forward the suggestion that Paul has been on ‘a redemption arc’ beyond the bare minimum of not going back to a suicide…

It is ridiculously naive, but not less so your claim that it doesn’t matter. It isn’t like somewhere, abstractly, up the line there is a bad actor here: JK Rowling is a prominent part and directly benefits. Much more so than most scenarios, and she has used her influence to continue to hurt trans people. It also isn’t…

People aren’t “looking for reasons” to be angry. People are rightfully angry over transphobia, and this game is based on the franchise created by one of the world’s most visible transphobes. And fuuuuuuuuuck you and your stance of “ignore it and it’ll go away”. That’s not how social change works. The trans community…

It’s honestly hysterical. This was such an easy PR win for them, a slam dunk with almost zero effort on their part. Not only did they miss the layup, they hurled the ball into the stands, then dropped their pants and pissed on the crowd.

Dde, they're all already out already and we're quite well done. The only real complaint I've seen was the font.

Welcome to Boatmurdered!

Sooo, another thing that makes DreamUp terrible...
I tried it out, and prompted it to make a Monkey Scientist wearing goggles, aaand, 2 out of 3 of the images it generated was of a black man wearing glasses... So yeah, AI is kinda racist.
I honestly have no idea how people make anything remotely interesting with these…

The answer is money (at all costs) because thats all the answer ever is

Ok, I misread that, it's 11 feet long, and looks to be three to four feet high.  That's even worse.
