Also worth remembering: it wasn't long ago that it was *illegal* for an unmarried, unrelated-by-blood man and woman to live in the same dwelling together!

We still get mail addressed to my mom's first husband at this house because he was her co-signer on an account in the 1970s.

They divorced years before I was born and said first husband never lived in this house.

So. Whisper networks. People who have been abused and/or harassed 1) believe or know reporting will just make it worse for them 2) still want to warn others

When that happens, people (esp. women) use whisper networks to let others know so they stay safe. Orgs hate this behavior. Too bad.

this subsystem just got completely axed in the localization

localization oversight (no, seriously)

in the Japanese version of RD, you had to sell weapons to gain "forging points", which were a special currency used only for forging. also there were specific forging points for each weapon type, so if you wanted to forge a sword you had to sell other swords

(not a defense) probably because they didn't have an actual victim willing to come forward at the time and insulate them from libel charges

hate to do this again but our accountants hit us with a bunch of fees that we can't absorb right now, so i'm forced to do this again 🙃 ko-fi.com/sharkhugseni...

Cat ears are the cleverest disguise when everyone knows you're really a donkey :3

b-but you have friends

For us? No.

For Trump? Absolutely.

Maybe things would have been different if Harris tried to activate nonvoters too, maybe they wouldn't have.

From what I can find, you'd probably want to use version 3.1 of PCPaint (released in 1989).

There *was* a standardized format that used the PIC extension, apparently developed by John Bridges for his program PCPaint. So that'd be my first port of call.

GitHub - omf2097/openomf: One Must Fall 2097 Remake One Must Fall 2097 Remake. Contribute to omf2097/openomf development by creating an account on GitHub.

The game has an open source reimplementation at github.com/omf2097/open... - not sure if that has anything that can help you thought.

There's a high chance it's not a standardized format back in the DOS days, a lot of older games had bespoke formats that used common, descriptive extensions and I'm pretty sure .PIC is one of those.

the mentor that, need you be reminded, one of the previous pope's close advisors openly published an op-ed piece musing on whether the church should bring back burning at the stake as a response to his heresy

-e endings do appear to be the most widely accepted solution I've heard of for gender neutrality in Spanish but I'm under the impression they're not really close to universally accepted yet, but I'm not a Spanish speaker so there is a significant chance my knowledge is outdated

he'd also have to give them any notes he has about the story of unreleased parts and trust them not to be leakers, because translations that aren't thinking forward to future plot twists often turn out unintentionally bad

Romance languages having strongly gendered pronouns is just one of the most *basic* obstacles to a localization of Undertale/Deltarune that respects the source material.

Last I checked, respectful language for people outside the gender binary in those languages is not a solved question.

... write in future parts. And even if Toby provided outlines of future plans to the translators, that does not guarantee that the future plans will end up being executed 100% as planned. (3/3)

Personally I think they did about as good of a job as they could have with it not having the foresight of what future AA games would do!

But that's exactly part of the problem. Deltarune is not a finished game. A translator working on it right now cannot possibly know what Toby will... (2/3)

Ace Attorney is a translation that is often *very harshly* criticized in the anglosphere for changing the setting of the game from Japan to California, which was arguably an understandable decision when looking only at the first entry but increasingly fell apart with the sequels. (1/3)

considering how few people on the broader internet apparently trust professional Japanese-English translators to preserve the author's intent, I can't really take "you should trust professional translators bro" posts seriously

me neither! she's apparently a dedicated sprinter, and the real life horse was one of Sunday Silence's foals, having looked her up.

awwww I missed this while asleep!?! heckin' grats fam

I felt the same way about Persona 3 and 4's visuals relative to more modern games as well.

Attempts at realism age faster.

to add a bit of context I left out of the image alt text: 'read "×" as "low", "△" as "medium low", "○" as "medium high", and "◎" as "high".'

A 'trainer card' from the uma-poi personality test indicating that the user's uma personality corresponds to the Umamusume character named Believe. The left side of the card depicts the character in question, an anime-styled anthropomorphic horse girl with short brown hair; she is wearing a light blue and red cutoff vest (with white trim) with excessive zippers and a large hood (hanging down, not pulled up), tight navy blue shorts, and very puffy pants over them in a similar color scheme as her vest, with similarly excessive zippers and no apparent logical actual attachment points to her body. She is also wearing red arm warmers with a white stripe; a green and black wristband on her right wrist; and blue and white flat running shoes of some sort. Her left horse ear is covered by a red ear warmer with a horizontal blue stripe. The right side of the card indicates the user's personality results from the test as follows: extraversion: X conscientiousness: X openness: O agreeableness: triangle emotional stability: X autism spectrum: 8 In the lower right corner of the card is the uma-poi site logo, consisting of the English letters "uma" in a yellow-to-orange vertical gradient and the Japanese characters which transliterate to "-poi!" in a pink-to-magenta gradient, superimposed over a gray horseshoe.

here's mine, apparently

Metal Armor Dragonar, right?

Is *that* why it sometimes feels like all the women in the upper echelons of the Republican Party (particularly those in 🍊's orbit) look the same?

The honest answer is almost certainly "yes", because we did in fact pull out of Vietnam and if Afghanistan and Iraq are any indication the magnitude of protests probably hastened that process considerably
