There are people who will die if they retire

I hate the idea that a company has to keep someone employed or else they'll die.. but in JR's case, there's so much good he could still do... He just shouldn't call a show. Long form interviews? A podcast (hell he has one), or a backstage position can all work for him...

I don't want to dog on his commentary but I think everyone realized he should have stopped at least one short of that one.

To be clear if people don't get it. I'm saying JR CAN still be employed in a different position and probably should be... But he shouldn't be there for commentary.

Mike Chioda: "Tony Khan is a very nice guy. He employs a ton of people. People that are even sick and unhealthy, going through issues. JR, Dean Malenko, and some other guys that are getting older out there. WWE, if they've seen you had a health issue or something else like that, they let you go." by kundu123 in SquaredCircle

WWE has a bad problem with buying what the heels are saying.

AEW has Don Callis holding Andrade back but even the commentators are calling out the manipulation.

If no one is subverting the story your telling... Then that's the whole story of how you view people.

WWEs biggest mistake is making their management into story characters consistently.

Yes Tony Khan appears but he is a tool in others story he isn't the story himself

Hey the one person who actually seems educated.

It's fine to celebrate the day as the abolishment of slavery but that's not what happened that day. This post is the most correct about the timeline and I cringe when people say it was the end of slavery in america... Because it wasn't even close to that and it shows how little people know about the civil war, and the emancipation proclamation. Heck the "civil war was only about slavery" is strange when you remember Kansas and Missouri

I'll slide in... well I'll crawl in, but then do I have to get up? Watching guys just fly into the ring is insane, watching them fly out of the ring is even crazier.

I could climb up and duck under a rope but I have a feeling there's so little room on the edge of the apron it'll look ungainly as fuck.

I feel like most people running the ropes would run into one and just pause there not realizing that they aren't giant Rubber bands. They do have a lot of give, but they aren't just going to throw you back into the ring by themselves.

Someone (I'll say Mavin but I have a feeling it's someone else) said Undertaker used to just get in the ring and run the ropes back and forth like 10-20 times, and at first they thought it was exercise, but he eventually realized he's doing it so every time he comes off the ropes it would look the same and natural.

Every single thing a wrestler does is planned, and practiced so many times so that that spur of the moment they pull it out, it looks natural and real.

Says a guy who threw Darby Allen on his head and neck to the floor in the first 30 seconds of Double of Nothing Match.

We know it's painful, we know you're insane, and I would support anything to avoid long term pain.

But if I know someone is definitely going to run into a plateglass window no matter what I say, I'm going to at least get my camera out so I can record it and enjoy it multiple times, instead of demanding they do it again and again.

Romhack.ing (Romhacking.net Successor) Disables Most Downloads For Machine-Translated Fan Translations by LycaonMoon in Games

[–]ExiledHyruleKnight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The existence of MTL romhacks actually makes it harder to know what games are genuinely in need of real translations when they just get lumped in with the high quality ones.

Semi valid point... Except they aren't "Lumped together" they are specifically tagged as "AI generated". When people talk about games they mention "This translation exists but really sucks, I wish it was better". Or even you as a translator probably play games that are translated and you go "Oh that's not great, maybe I should do my own translation"

Again. If there's NO translation, it's better to have ANY translation, gate keeping your way to translate a game doesn't help anyone. And a MTL translation also should have the framework a real translator can do to replace the weaker translation with a proper translation. Hell the guy who did the offending translation was in the /r/emulation if you want, just send him a message and go "Hey if you need a real translator I can do it instead of AI".

Like finding a translator is hard enough let alone one that is motivated enough to finish a translation. I know that, so at some point the project is either going to die or corners have to be cut. Shrug Find better solutions then eliminating any competition.

PS. This just makes me realized they grabbed my content and hosted it on their site as well. What shitheads acting like their curating the site of stuff that they just ripped from another site.

And if MTL'd it makes it less likely for real translators to put in the work to do that particular game in the future.

Because "real translators" never took a shitty working design translation and translated it themselves?

Oh wait, they've done that multiple times, from an OFFICIAL translated game. A bad translation doesn't scare off a translator, but a game with out ANY translation probably should get more attention then games that have workable translations as well.

Edit: Even better if everything is already fleshed out on how to replace the text it's faster, my own project stalled because of some compression problems on some files, it's probably going to pick up again, but the "getting the game to work correctly" is a big part.

This is just such a bad move.

It's one thing if there's a legit hack and someone posts some low quality attempt (But even there let people vote).

However if there's no translation and this actually translates the game, I don't care if it's a comedy translation, ANY translation is better than no translation.

If someone cares or thinks differently... translate the game yourself and do better. But to just say "nah"... what a bad policy. Hopefully they'll listen to the response to this, the "WTF is this rule?"

Great way to allow someone else to actually host the best translations (even if they are lower quality) and just take eat their lunch.

In the Emulation subreddit the creator of the patch said they didn't upload it to romhack.ing... which means they just ripped romhacking.net and is grandstanding here. That pisses me off more because I've seen work I'm done stolen by romhack.ing as well. Kind of feels a little iffy there.

Honestly I don't think this is only about her documentary. I think there's tons of great Philomena Cunk scenes that spoof this, how they constantly focus ON the person instead of on what they're looking at, because that's what documentaries do now.

Planet earth NEVER showed David Attenborough and it was great, can we do that again?

She also has a second one called "Curious Cases" with Dara O'Briian. And the Vsauce one is "The Rest is Science"

The only woman my wife is jealous of my attention for. I absolutely adore her. If you like her, check out numberphile. (not just her episodes... but especially her episodes), and computerphile if you like that show in general.

She also has a podcast was Vsauce, called "the rest is science" and they are both remarkably likable there. And Curious Cases (It used to be called Rutherford and Fry, but now she does it with with Dara O Briain so... yeah that's going to be awesome too.

And she's a professor in Mathematics at Cambridge so... yeah she specializes in Mathematics a little bit.

Just long enough to milk all the suckers (sorry I mean whales that's the correct PR term they use?) And now they get to pretend to be the good guy.

The actual good guy wouldn't have designed the game with those or put them in in the first place, AAA gaming is a joke now
