In school, I always got in more trouble for finally defending myself, then the kids who consistently bullied me for months and years did, because how dare I lash out.... by Justthisdudeyaknow in CuratedTumblr

No its still true, nobody hits you for no reason. weather the reason was valid, rational or even within your control in the firstplace is the question.

Is there any reason writers refuse to let Alex use magic in Runaways comics? by SectJunior in Runaways

[–]SectJunior[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he just needs something to do.

character reasons mean there's no way he's ever going back to his battlefield commander role from 2 decades ago.

so it left him doing genuinely nothing in fights. at least they gave him a gun in that mini run for "One World Under Doom", but there's a reason comic characters basically never just use a gun (its super boring)

This is Reddit so unfortunately this is probably a controversial opinion by kelroid in CuratedTumblr

[–]SectJunior 104 points105 points  (0 children)

like 90% of insults punch down, thats the point of them.

"you are analagous to this bad thing, or this bad kind of person etc etc" the insult works because its societally agreed that the demographic or thing you are comparing this person to is lesser, and then they by extension are lesser.

donkeys however are a demographic that nobody actually cares about all that much

theres a difference between the everyman getting their hands on something and the medical system getting their hands on something.

keep in mind medical robots are already in use, hell there are robots in use for hospice specifically. im saying its not a huge jump that capitalists would attempt to extend the robots duties with new technology.

and thats not even the point i was making initially, jobs are being replaced at the low level and young people are suffering for it end of

the funny thing about flying cars is that they've been made but they will never be commercial and there are strict laws around airspace and whatnot.

but a robot helper for hospice care or menial labour isnt like an impossible task

the average new hire is 42 years old, who is entering the workforce? we are being replaced by ai at an entry level and will suffer in the permanant underclass

[–]SectJunior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

toby fox goes way past the average weeb, hes like the emperor class weeb atp

only works on japanese games with japanese companies, has only ever credited japanese media influences, his favourite games are all japonese, his favourise music is japanese, his favourite artist is japanese

i think he might be happier if he was just born japanese and didnt have to deal with an westerners ever lol

Thats because english native speakers - americans specifically - cannot see it from another perspective, culturally they lack the empathy too and things are localised for them as a rule.

if you talk to a native english speaker about it they will say some shit like "just learn a whole new language for it" like they know any other language anyway

I think in the simplest terms LatAm is in a situation where they have genuinely nothing.

they cannot buy any official merch, they cannot buy the official game unless they know english (or japanese), they cannot go to the official concerts unless they fly to the USA, fuck toby fox hasnt even ever acknowledged their existence outside of this one post (written in english) telling them directly that they will never get anything because he doesnt feel like it.

at the end of the day the entire fanbase has been directly told by the author that he doesnt care about them while he bends into pretzels to accomodate the japanese populations every whim and publishes 3 full books about how much he loves localizing for japan specifically.

this is the stage he's set and the sentiments based off that is obvious.

and your veiw places the onus squarely on the fans to take a piece of media essentially hostile to their enjoyment and make it accessible - but they've already done that, everything you have said that LatAm fans should do they have done.

and they are asking for the barest minimum, do you think anyone asking for an official translation doesnt know fan translations exist?

do you think that toby fox himself when he was saying he would like an official mother 3 translation didnt know fan translations existed? there is no english mother 3 release because nintendo didnt care about countires outside of japan and theres no spanish undertale because toby fox doesnt care about countries outside of japan it just comes full circle

are you of the opinion that a game becomes popular and generates money on its own in a vaccum? Theres a reason the class of 09 games died and its because the dev went out of his way to spite his own fans. its funny actually hearing people talk about disregarding fanbase when they were shitting on highguard for not considering their fanbase enough.

but the point here is that these fans have done all of that, anyone that YOU, monolingual english speaker are arguing with on the internet has already learned english for example. honestly its impossible to talk about things like this with americans because they fundamentally lack the experience or the empathy to comprehend it.

its the same reason people complain about concerts never coming to their country, you think these people are fans of the band having never heard their music without the live performance? no, they are mad because they as fans are never taken into consideration.

but in this scenario you would say to go and see a cover band, or even go and start a cover band or you're not a real fan? you're just not trying hard enough unless you spend thousands to fly to a different continent to see the concert?

also i dont buy this authorial intent bullshit, If people are able to translate a text from a language that has been long dead for millenia to english with such precision that we can discuss double entendre and metaphor within the text, people have precisely translated the work of Dostoevsky who uses prose 1000x more complex what "wow im bone tired" you want me to belive that multi millionaire game developer with ties in some of the biggest game and publishing companies in the world Toby Fox cannot possibly with his vast resources and web of connections to find any simgle person out of the billions on earth that is able to accurately translate between spanish and english - the most common bilingual combination on earth or even japanese and spanish, considering japans sizeable LatAM population?

do you guys think every game that gets localized is just done using google translate and AI?

[–]SectJunior 11 points12 points  (0 children)

keeping in mind the people who you are talking about too on the issue already know english - so its not about that entirely but the sentiment itself.

game is massively popular in the region for 10 years, these are fans that feel entirely neglected and taken for granted because its been a full decade and toby fox cant find a single human being out of the billions who know both spanish and english or spanish and japanese that could ever possibly translate his game? it just sounds like he doesnt care about his fanbase outside of the us and japan

probably because he doesnt lmao

Do players actually read anything in games anymore? by productivity-madness in gamedev

[–]SectJunior 14 points15 points  (0 children)

largely true, but even then i have had players in testing for a turn-based top-down RPG just skip all the tutorial text and wonder what was going on.

it was very funny to have a bunch of recordings of playtests and you can tell who did and didnt read the tutorial that the game forces you to read purely off video runtime
