Hell yeah, Obaachan sent the boys some shirts with that excellent Uncanny English phrasing Japan does like no other.

Hell yeah, I made it onto that ai haters blocklists. Glad to be part of the cool kids club for once.

It sounds like a nonsense genre mishmash but after Harvestella I trust them to make any genre mishmash into something great.

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

I was intrigued, but put off by how it seems to romanticise Imperial Japan. Is that the point and it's making actually commentary about that? I don't want another anti-Korean racist jump scare like Ranking of Kings.

I just realized I never went back to finish the manga after learning Japanese. I definitely still have all like 10 or w/e of the Tokyopop [pause to spit on the ground] releases in a box in my mom's house somewhere.

I'm getting the feeling that the Dynasty Warriors Origins OST isn't the right BGM for translating this gaggy romcom. 10:30 at night and I feel ready to charge through a wall and fight Lu Bu.

Not that I have the time to play anything, especially an open ended farming sim, but since the new HoloLive farming game has AyaFubuMiKo in it, I can totally write that off on my taxes right? *ahem* Be sure to pick up Holoearth Chronicles Side:E Yamato Phantasia from your local bookstore!

God, I hate dunking on others' translations but I'm baffled that someone could look at 主人公訂正 and think of it as anything else *besides* plot armor.

It's incredible to me that Shirow Masamune's work can be adapted in so many different ways and (almost) always come out great. Gun to my head, I couldn't choose between the manga, the movie and SAC.

It sucks extra hard when the lads refuse to nap because not only is the rest of the afternoon a cranky shit show, but I also have to then rush up to the office after they're asleep to make up for the work time I missed out on. I'm tired.

Okay, I stopped umaposting, but I have to share this ridiculous Fast Learner/Long S/ Groundwork high roll and my first UG. Too bad my skills selection was ass.

Can your LLM determine the perfect number of "ums" and repeated syllables that should be used in English for a character that stutters 2-3 words every other line? Didn't think so, checkmate AI boosters.

Adding the reddit part to one got me, too real.

In retrospect, I should've known combining the boy's first night sleeping away from home with their first time sleeping in a bed was always going to be a shit show.

Translating between two cultures that have what I presume to be some of the lowest second language acquisition rates in the world is great. Lots of fun.

To give an alternative perspective, I asked my longest client for an increased rate on a new project to match 6 years of inflation and was denied with no counteroffer. They didn't come to me with a new project for almost two years (at a higher rate, tbf, but *still* not my original ask).

It also sucks because the origins stuff are like, skins that ALSO buff the character to be way better than their original version which somehow feels worse.
