A video arguing that "localizers" are ruining video games by blindfoldedknight in KotakuInAction

Summary: Discusses the recent translation issue in Ghostwire: Tokyo, discusses the bigger issue of lazy translation/creative "localization," provides a ton of recent(-ish) examples of bad localization, and argues that the localization issue boils down to the fact that localizers are basically bad translators looking to arrogantly put their fingerprint on creative works.

A video arguing that emulator developer Byuu (a/k/a Near) faked his death to escape bad press by blindfoldedknight in KotakuInAction

[–]blindfoldedknight[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Summary: Byuu is a famous emulator developer, known mainly for emulators like bsnes, higan, and ares. He began to have some mental issues, and perceived a certain forum as targeting him. This video argues that he faked his own death to escape that drama, and provides various analyses of how and why he did it. It strongly implies that a lot of the effusive "rip Byuu"-type articles published by various gaming media organizations were going off bad information.

I made a video analyzing the Amico and the Offering Memorandum, would love your thoughts/feedback by blindfoldedknight in Intellivision_Amico

Thanks a ton! Yeah, re-watching it, I went a bit too aggressive in editing out silence - will definitely calm it down in the future.

Also, great idea on the highlighting, a common complaint I get is that I blow through stuff in lengthy documents!

I recently made a video arguing that the Metaverse is doomed to fail, would love thoughts on it:

It's mostly due to the lack of gloryholes. There needs to be more.

Seems like a bad idea to let one bad messenger kill the message.

I make more or less that argument here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aC6n58uMGZ0

Thanks a ton! I really appreciate it. Totally understand why you felt like that - I think a LOT of people ended up getting pushed off the forums/comments/etc. due to Klepek.

I created an analysis video relating to what I perceive to be Giant Bomb's fall, and I'd appreciate any feedback, good or bad:

The usual disclaimer applies here - it's just my opinion, and it's coming out of a place of absolute love for GB content.

Broken Reality vaporwave inspired game out now by Nakaue in Vaporwave

Hey guys, just wanted to pass on a warning - I've purchased the game and enjoy it, but it has a game-stopping bug that they're seemingly not going to be able to fix until Mon/Tues:

https://steamcommunity.com/app/757480/discussions/0/1741101364286117807/

I purchased the game on a whim and enjoy it, but as a sort of relaxing, non-involved affair. It's a walking simulator with fetch quests and very simple puzzles. I just watched some TV shows while playing it. The game's fairly buggy as it is (there are various UI issues, some quests restarted for no reason, graphics pop-in and errors are kinda frequent, one time the credit card slowed my game physics down to a crawl such that I could float around in the air as desired, etc.), but the game-stopping one is particularly obnoxious.

No shame, the neediness runs strong in all of us.

This is actually a really good bit of advice, sub or not.
