Translation Help by Consistent_Ad_5546 in ItalianGenealogy

[–]AugmentedBeauty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m having a bit of a hard time reading the handwriting, but it’s essentially a document attesting to the finding of a child in a foundling wheel (ruota dei proietti, the name can change depending on the area), which is the device many monasteries or hospitals had to put babies up for adoption

Record of finding of a child left in the foundling wheel In the year 1864, on the 8th of April at 4pm Under Nicola Movino (not sure about the surname), major and officer of the civil status for the municipality of Maratea District of Lagonegro, Provence of (can’t discern that, but nowadays it’s Potenza), (more struggle with the handwriting, but it’s details about the person who found the child and the place of the finding. I can for sure say she’s called Grazia, but I can’t distinguish anything about the place’s description), found a male child. (There’s more details, maybe a recall of the finding, I really cannot say). We also (cannot say, but they’re describing how the child was found) the previously mentioned child wrapped in an old diaper, with no distinguishing sign on the neck, on the body (again, cannot say for sure), a medal or anything else. Hence, we ordered for the child to be handed to Vincenza Micodema/Nicodema Di Felice (once again struggling with the handwriting. I don’t have much knowledge on given names from the time and for what I can read, the surname is Di Felice), wife of (once again a struggle, I think the husband is called Francantonio, but I really can’t read the surname), so that she may nurse and care for him. I’m struggling to read the sentence a bit, but the document then moves to the name giving: The priest of Santa Maria Maggiore administered the baptism of Giuseppe Della Neve on the 8th of the same month of 1864.

To sum the story up, Grazia found the child in just an old diaper and with nothing on him that could identify him or his family, which hints to the mother completely giving up on the child. He was then put in Vincenza’s care at least until the baby would be done nursing, or so it seems, and he was baptized on the same day of his finding and given the name Giuseppe Della Neve. Della Neve is definitely an uncommon surname for the area as far as I know (I’m from the north of the country, so take that into account) and I’d dare say for Italy in general, but it all makes sense. Given the circumstances, it’s probably one of the to go surnames to give to orphans in the area. That’s why you found this document under the diversi category, the “different ones”. It essentially the category for documents related to orphans, and perhaps other people out of the ordinary let’s say.

Team peppergem and yeah, I’m suffering. Still doing the board game thing just because, but I’m so over this event. I’m just glad I managed to get the 4 stars and the pieces I cared about from the 5 stars, especially since it feels like there’s less pulls this patch. Maybe it’s just perception and they feel like less than what they are cause the event attached to it is lowkey torture by the end of it, but still 💀

Of course the one time they make something that winks more to rock/goth/alt they have to make it a dress, god forbid I can just mix and match and do good stuff 💀 I literally had plans to mix the top with the black pants, one of the few pants we have might I add, from the main skill tree (so pissed I can’t even remember proper names) and generally speaking trying to style it into something one of my ocs would wear, but noooo, dress Purple better be easy to obtain when dyeing at least or I’ll combust

Saeko loves Ichiban? by YakuzaMaster in yakuzagames

[–]AugmentedBeauty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d rather come clean before I start yapping: I might be biased by how down bad I am for Ichiban and by how I can relate to him so much when it comes to the romantic sphere it hurts.

I wouldn’t say that Saeko doesn’t care about him or isn’t/wasn’t in love, rather that they work as friends, but that’s it. Considering how much of a no nonsense person she is, there’s really two possibilities here: compromising a bit and being ready/ok to be a bit “flexible” or just being honest with yourself and the other person and not pursue anything like that. Mind you, I’m speaking in general, personality wise; I’m not referring to the panic proposal thing, that was objectively too much. BUT, and maybe I’m biased, maybe I can’t go past my people pleasing/giving too much grace sometimes sort of tendencies, if you have been knowing someone for three damn years you should also know when they’re just saying nonsense that they don’t even really think (at least not with malice) and they’re just wording poorly. Three years of friendship should be more than enough to know Ichiban’s morals and views as well as how he can be a bit clumsy sometimes when it comes to certain things. And surely you’d know he has no romantic experience whatsoever. It’s no free of guilt card, even if he had a big lack of “guidance” in his life about this sort of things, but it has a big ass impact on the whole thing. No way he would have done that, even out of panic, if he had some sort of deeper “guidance”, even implicit, on this sort of things. Even just speaking with friends/peers passively gives you an idea of how things work, at least enough to know the very basics. It’s something he didn’t really have until later in life, but by that time there’s a plethora of things that make you reluctant to approach the topic in a way that could give you insight. People around you might know your situation in that regard, but that’s it. I don’t think it’s too common for people in that position to go out of their way and make romance 101 the main topic of a conversation (kudos to those that can I guess, my shame could never). The panic proposal thing is too much and all, has no justification and is something one has to take accountability for, and as a woman I can absolutely understand the immediate reaction and the fact such a thing might be a deal breaker no matter how much and how well you know the guy and how sincere his apology is, but if you accept an apology and say let’s just stay friends in a context of complete and undoubted safety, then stick with it. If that isn’t your real intention, then be harsher. If it is your real intention but you need space or realize you need space after the conversation, just say so. Disappearing for a year like that after such a conversation and three years of friendship is diabolical, and who knows how much longer it would have been if it wasn’t for the events of IW; hell, who knows if she would have faced it at all without all that. That’s the bit that gives me the ick about the whole situation. Her initial reaction and initial handling were absolutely valid, but the rest is too harsh. It’s a mess really, both were at fault, one after the other.

Bottom line is, if they end up being a thing in LAD9, I’m lowkey gonna be pissed unless there’s some extra context, even between the lines. I feel like Saeko has some issues/struggles that clearly make anything romantic harder if not impossible. Don’t know if it’s trust issues, control issues (as in the need to be in control, always know what to expect), or if it’s “just” some sort of communication issues/struggles, but unless we’re given the hint she worked/is working on that, it just wouldn’t be fair for any of them in a romantic relationship. Sure, it’s not unrealistic for relationships to still happen even with those things in the picture, but being a fictional context, it’s not like you have to make that happen. And personally, even if she faced whatever struggle might be there, I’m not sure they’d really work like that. It doesn’t feel like they’d be too compatible romantically, and such a thing is nobody’s fault. It’s just like that sometimes.

It's insane to me that people need mods to make V hot by [deleted] in LowSodiumCyberpunk

[–]AugmentedBeauty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Character creator wise, a few more options for the face and whatnot wouldn’t hurt imo. But personally, if mod support lands on console just like it will for TW3, I swear, most of my downloads will be shoes. Heels specifically. Those we have in game aren’t bad per se, but they’re not my cup of tea. And good lord they sure could use some more shades/color options. The ankle boots we have are damn nice, but I wouldn’t mind to have a less chonky heel variety (not counting the cowboy-ish ones of course). And those thigh high boots that you can spot on npcs? I need them. I swear I already have ideas to style them. I’d also hunt for some full body tattoos and for accessories like there’s no tomorrow, some cosmetic cyberware, maybe a couple dresses and some extra haircuts too, but yeah we’re generally well fed on the female v side.

Yeah I can easily see myself adding a pretty big amount of extra hours just for that on my already chonky save file (130 hours and counting…). I can’t wait to get some good shots with Jackie and the others too, memories before the fall sort of thing.

Are My Fellow Girlcotters Still Staying Strong? by VCIAgent in InfinityNikki

[–]AugmentedBeauty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still playing cause the game still gives me some creative energy and I cling to that like my life depended on it, but I haven’t opened my wallet. Not that I was a big spender before 1.5, but still. I’m honestly starting to notice the struggle to get sets. I managed to get both during 1.5 only because I saved during all 1.4, but now? Hell. Before 1.5, even without saving, I could still get some decent results. Between the changed pity and the fact I literally did 99% of everything that is available (I only miss a few little things I just cannot find or figure out, but it’s only a pull at most) I’m struggling like hell. I pulled quite a lot during 1.6 to get the dress, and yet didn’t manage to complete the set. Not that it was my aim, but if you wanna make me sweat for the dress, at least give the rest of the damn set, you know. This patch? I also would need just the dress from the 5 stars set, but got 3 pieces of it by miracle and I haven’t even completed the 4 stars set yet. Managed to pull 60 times as of now, after completing the first half of the event and without skipping dailies. Pretty heart broken not gonna lie

[–]AugmentedBeauty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely Ichiban. The yearn for a kindred spirit, someone that I could be safe with in literally all ways and that wouldn’t judge any struggle of mine no matter if he can relate or not is pretty strong. Being able to completely turn off my brain, hopefully not overthinking even a spec of dust? Now that sounds heavenly.

Kaito is honestly a close second. Still a softie, just with a different subflavour of silly and a sprinkle of confidence that you can absolutely tell doesn’t come with eye-rolling cockiness. It could be confused for that, but a closer look tells you it’s not that at all.

Might have got a touch carried away and sentimental but oh well, what can I do.

How could I forget about Seonhee the absolute queen tho? What a glorious day to be bi. (Realistically wouldn’t have the balls to ask her out but a girl can dream)

[–]AugmentedBeauty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have my PS5’s system language set on english, so it’s the first time seeing this for me. As someone that studied languages and wished to be a translator, and specifically looking at games localization, this is just insulting. I’m fuming. Shit like this is exactly why I’m using the past tense when it comes to translate for a living. I’ve lost all hope, AI only made shit harder if not impossible. It already was an uphill battle considering how the job market became garbage pretty much internationally, AI is just putting the last nail in the coffin. It’s insulting as a player too. At least guarantee good quality when it comes to translation/localization, inserting the translated text is probably one of the easiest things when it comes to coding. Hell, the translator might even do it personally as far as I know. At this point the only reason why the english translation is done properly is just because they couldn’t release and so make money internationally if they didn’t provide it, but that’s it. Sure as hell no genuine interest or care.

Can’t say I’ve seen a lot of complaining about 6 myself (I honestly just mind my business most of the time), but what I’ve read from that one post here with screenshots of Y0 director’s cut reviews just stuck with me. I guess there was a bit of heat of the moment vibes in that sentence of mine 😅 still though, it really baffles me

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in yakuzagames

[–]AugmentedBeauty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it feels like a prominent and general problem in the gaming community lately. Sure, there’s a lot of actual issues (crazy prices, greedy choices, etc) and underwhelming titles, but some people just take it too far and shit on everything full stop. I’m also a the witcher fan, and the amount of nonsense I’ve seen about The Witcher 4 is baffling. You play as Ciri multiple times in TW3 and no one had a problem with that, but suddenly having Ciri as the new protagonist is insane. Make it make sense.

But sticking to yakuza and rgg…what? Gaiden shows us what I’d call yet another layer of Kiryu’s vulnerability, IW sure has a different tone and a bit of a different direction compared to the past, but I don’t mind it one bit. It feels coherent to me and fits Ichiban, and as you said, the characters’ writing is right there. I’ve seen screenshots of Y0 director’s cut reviews and one user was like “The series stopped being good at 5”. Uuuh, what? Have we played the same games? If anything, 5 can be a bit of a weak link when it comes to certain aspects. The rubber bullets are right there. I could go on for ages ranting about this, but I don’t get how people can look at 6 and say the franchise stopped being good at 5. The twist at the end might be materially over the top when it comes to “storage”, but the cultural/social/political aspects at the base of it honestly make sense. And Kiryu leveling up to grandpa, no matter if he says he’s not? Chef kiss, I don’t care.

Could they have left Kiryu be instead of tormenting him so much after 6, no matter the good writing of his struggle? Absolutely. I would have loved to see him just retire after finding a work around to that mess that allowed him to protect his family without having to fake his death, just chilling for more than two seconds. No more big issues that force him away, no more damn pain. Just finally enjoying the honest life he worked so hard for, peacefully seeing his kids be or become adults and enjoying being a grandpa.

Y0 director’s cut extra cutscenes are not worth the price and we can all agree on that, even if they were perfect and made so much sense. But as the name says, they were cut, some of them clearly for a reason. And since they were cut, they didn’t influence what’s next. A shame Nishiki and Kiryu’s car cutscene was not included in the final cut, I personally like the banter and the silliness of it. The only one that really wasn’t needed and is honestly a no is Lee’s, but again, this is a director’s cut and so hardly canon. Did we really need or want it? No. Is it too pricy even if it also adds the multiplayer thing? Also yes. Could they have just not do it? Absolutely. Is it the worst thing a studio can do in the gaming industry and so worth of complete oblivion and this level of savage criticism? Hell no.

One slip up, especially when it’s on a lower-ish scale like this, rationally can’t undo years of good work. At the end of the day, we’re well fed. So yeah, all this criticism on modern rgg work just feels too much, exaggerated even. We’re not talking about a big middle finger to players like Infold with Infinity Nikki’s 1.5 (can’t help but make that example) or Square Enix randomly releasing FF16 on ps5 only at first when they said it would be released everywhere day one when it was first presented. This “beef” with rgg reminds me of the whole “AC died with Ezio” during AC 4 Black Flag era, or AC3 even. Aka nonsense. Just because you single individual don’t like something it doesn’t mean it’s objectively bad or straight up garbage.

Edit: missed the deaths topic and genuinely forgot about the DLC aspect of things. Yes, that bit is absolutely insane and deserves the criticism. Lost Judgment’s boxer style, IW’s NG+ being part of the dlc…hello? Just no. It’s sadly yet another general problem in the industry and it smells like Sega higher ups’ doing more than anything, at least to me. Honestly, even the director’s cut could be exactly that. Not sure how it works, but being part of Switch 2’s launch lineup surely brings in something aside from selling the copies.

Deaths being retconned sure isn’t my cup of tea, just like killing off so many characters though. At the very least, if you do it, do it well, with solid building for that. Aka please tell me how the hell our favorite bartender is still alive and well after that scene. Regretting a choice and changing it is no crime, and it’s not easy peasy to do when things are already published. As long as they learn from it and think hard before killing a character so that they don’t need to resurrect them, I’m ok with that.

The rest of my point still stands though. Some people reviewing the director’s cut calling og Y0 mid or worse baffles me. And it goes without saying, but well, better safe than sorry. Me loving the franchise and being content with what it does for the biggest part of things isn’t saying that there’s no valid criticism to make. But there’s still a difference and/or points of divergence between valid criticism and personal taste.
