(You might have already read this.) Katrina’s still deactivated, so I can’t link her thread, but here’s a fantastic article about why those should basically never be translated as quotes:

Set that for pickup and then mail it to me lol. Such a good deal and it’s completely sold out around me.
You’re right. Having everything right justified with [……..] to make uniform spacing is the move.
First update to almost five years. Ctrl+F-able headers, a FAQ update log, oh yeah, it’s a quality GameFAQs guide.
Oh lmao. I hadn’t scrolled far enough down my feed yet.
GameStop was doing the super cool thing where they trickle stock so 90% of the time you can’t check out unless you spam confirm, so I figured Ninty is the way. I’m gonna need Capcom to figure out something different for Leon and Grace.
August Burns Red and Boundaries?
That’s not… terrible, but good lord I gotta get grinding if I want to finish it this season lol. I was told some of the later faction missions also get wild and require exfils so that’ll be interesting as well lol.
How long did the Level 100 / Full Faction grind take? I’m still gonna try and plat during this season, but I’m so far behind lol.
Let’s fucking go fam.
The ONLY thing I wish they added in the remasters was a sub-item tracker. Having to manually go through a remember which ones I hadn’t already picked up was a pain. Could’ve been as simple as Zero Mission’s.
A perfect 5/7 joke.
This was my first completion of the year. Fully completed save file (though didn't go back and run Hard Mode, so I'm missing some of the new gallery unlocks). Still as brilliant as my original time with it. The exploration is so tight. Scanning as a mechanic feels incredible. An almost perfect game.
I fuck with this system heavily. I also think my faves skew mom game.
WoW is a dad game, FFXIV is a mom game?
Pretty nuts that UW kinda ends up playing with house money for a few years and then gets to reap the benefits. I’m sure the payouts would’ve been MUCH more lucrative in the short term, but getting back independent in this state of the industry might end up working out better overall? Bizarre saga.
Your EV posting has led me down a rabbit hole I’m not financially sound enough at the moment to be going down, but holy shit why is the US market so fucked for these.
These rule! Thanks for posting them.
It’s definitely a specific flavor profile that doesn’t go with everything. My other current favorite is called “Zevia”. Stevia leaf tastes way better to me than aspartame or sucralose, and their Cola tastes the closest to me for actual Coke. It’s not exceedingly sickly sweet like Coke Zero.
Alt-Tab, Ctrl A, Ctrl C, Alt Tab, Ctrl V game goes hard.
Omg, yes. I hadn’t been able to place it exactly, but Shock Top makes so much sense in my brain now that you’ve said it.
The dirty dew I know I’m gonna hate, but I must try it for science. It can’t be worse than bomb-Pop dew.
Yeah, it’s got a… like “beer”-adjacent taste for me at first, but it’s not like actually that flavor. I’ve definitely grown to enjoy it since I’m trying to cut back on my dew consumption. Now, if they brought back Pitch Black, Black Label, or Throwback, I’d buy every case in the tri-state area.
*currently drinking my second Ridge Rush of the day*
When at cons, I keep a 10ft charging cable threaded through my belt loops that’s connected to a charging pack that’s in my backpack. Then tuck the other end into a pocket, or through a close loop depending, when I’m not charging anything.
My granddad literally stopped at every boiled peanut stand on the side of the road that we saw from like ‘91-‘05 when they just disappeared. There’s still places that sell them, but the random dude with a hand painted sign selling them in paper bags has vanished.
I fell asleep before I sent my follow-up, lol. But here’s her blog where she talks about translating/localization and goes in depth on some of the concepts therein. I don’t think there’s much /specifically/ about the Yakuza series, but still very interesting.

Perfect!! I had to get back issues for APWOT in future campaigns, so trying to start my subscription here right this time lol.
I was going to tag the translator for several Yakuza games (Katrina Leonoudakis) in this thread because she rules and probably had some great insight, but it appears that she was either banned or bullied off socials (again?) by the very same people crying about literal TL.
There is no correct root beer as that would imply any of it tastes good.
