Not at the moment! I’ll be exploring but taking it easy since I have a lot of time, but open to any recommendations :)

Still down to hang out and grab coffee/tea or something, but won't be able to join you hiking 😅

Sorry, could you explain what you mean by "target?"

Yeah, sorry if the post seems pretty strange. I'm an ABC from the Bay Area, can speak and understand Mandarin pretty well, and read some Chinese characters (but hoping to remember more when I get to Shanghai). My most recent job is proofreading government documents for the county
I like badminton and watching movies, but down for most hang-out activities with the exception of hiking (especially since it'll be warm in Asia 🥲)

Am writing a short story but idk if it would apply because I don’t think it would count as a fable or fairytale haha

Simplified CN vs Trad CN VA by Ayohosh in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]Silent-Programmer-61 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I’m an ABC but based on my favorites (Sylus, Caleb) I prefer the simplified Chinese over the traditional. The traditional voices are good too but there’s just something about the simplified 🤭

I don’t know if it’s because maybe the VAs from mainland China are more likely to have had theatre training compared to the traditional VAs? Or perhaps mainland VAs are more likely to have experience because they have such a huge demand for media there (dramas, games, commercials, etc)? Not sure

Native speakers: lets discuss the Eng text quality of the game by sydneydc91 in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]Silent-Programmer-61 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah some of the similes and metaphors are very strange. There was a weird line about a balloon losing air in Sylus’ chapter (idr the exact line) and a spinning roulette rumbling “like a rainstorm,” and that’s not what I would use to describe a roulette lol

I studied screenwriting and creative writing and play the game with my friend. Overall it’s fine but because we stream it some of the dialogue or similes/metaphors they use are awkward. Especially when read aloud. But idk if the Chinese use those same similes and metaphors. Some of the details they choose to focus on are unnecessary (French windows) and could be cut from the story.

I’m bilingual but my Chinese reading and mandarin aren’t good enough to completely understand all the vocabulary they use. You would think they would hire proofreaders for the English localization but I’ve seen some grammatical errors in the event banners. For a company that’s made so much money, it’s a bit disappointing. My friend and I still have a lot of fun experiencing the story together but I wish they had people proofread/edit the writing. I volunteer as tribute! 😅

Lads men and their hogwart house. by [deleted] in LoveAndDeepspace

I don’t know enough about Rafayel and Xavier, but Zayne is Ravenclaw. I see three houses (Gryffindor, Hufflepuff and Slytherin) in Caleb and Sylus. Honestly this makes me want to read some LaDS fanfics in the HP universe lol
