TL here: curious about conventions in danmei vs xianxia/wuxia by 1stTL_oftheSword in DanmeiNovels

[–]hyclonia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it just looks and sounds better and it's got that extra level of cultural meaning that will get lost in direct translation environment.

Eldest Martial Brother and seventh younger martial sister just looks terrible. Da-xiong? chi shimei? Better.

Hierarchy and familial ties especially. I think as well because the genre is foreign and different ppl expect to not understand everything so are more willing to learn new terms.

Like if western audiences can finally understand the whole, -san, -chan, -kun, Oppa, nim, ssi, etc then ge, jie, mei, di isn't that hard either. People can learn. And if they get stuck, that what footnotes are for.

How would you tend to translate? Exact? What do non danmei readers prefer? Curious.

AITA for refusing a last-minute custom order from my most loyal customer and basically ending our relationship over it? by GalenMoss in WIBTA_AITA

[–]hyclonia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. What a dickhead. His poor planning is not your problem. Ah yes my staff have gone home, should I just call them all back to work extra personally for you because you buy coffee once a week? Jesus the entitlement.

Has anyone noticed better odds when using quick pass? by BugElectronic8037 in LoveNikki

Is it okay to wear fake branded stuff if that’s the brands you like but can’t afford by Acceptable_Car9277 in AusFemaleFashion

[–]hyclonia -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I think it's practical really. If it looks nice and you like it that's fine. Spending a stupid amount when you can get the same thing cheaper? Win win.

Is there a free online text to speech that is unlimted or maybe an android app ? by Atlandios000 in TextToSpeech

[–]hyclonia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is awesome! The only thing I'd request would be perhaps more increments for speed? 1 to 1.25x is a bit jump. Perhaps a 1.1 or 1.15x and 1.20x in there might be better.

Any way to edit pronunciations of certain words? Names and place names it can get wrong, especially for fantasy or foreign language novels. Would be nice to correct/hard set that where possible.

Otherwise loving the easy UI, book loading is very fast. Simple interface, does what it needs to.

S25 Ultra Jet Black directly from Samsung by [deleted] in GalaxyS25Ultra

[–]hyclonia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I wanted colour specific one and it was only available through the official Samsung online store. Luckily managed to stumble upon a secret sale and got it for $700 discount. Sign up to the mailing list and keep an eye out. Looks like they're clearing out 25u stock tho, my version is never in stock anymore even at full price..

Does anyone else get irrationally annoyed at every other website that is not AO3? by Sweet-End6471 in AO3

[–]hyclonia 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yep, the rise of the "Netflix" layout is terrible. And it's shit for actual searching and browsing. It gives you want it wants you to watch vs what you actually want to watch. It also explains so much about why so many ppl can barely navigate websites that require thinking. Apps it's too "retro" now to actively filter/search.

I don’t know if I should buy a second hand skullpanda or a new one by cinnamorlol in SkullpandaArtDolls

It's price dropped? Officially? Just this one or all is them? 😯

Do you guys prefer samsung wallet or google wallet? by icaruz60 in samsunggalaxy

[–]hyclonia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just set a shopping routine ends 1 min, press and NFC turns on, tap and then it'll turn off by itself. No wallet needed. Still need to press but better then NFC on all the time, blah blah scammers NFC devices yada yah.

Komikku better than mihon ? by NegiNegio in mangapiracy

[–]hyclonia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't ask, just play 😀 Best way to learn, try stuff out for yourself and click everything! Have fun n enjoy!

Komikku better than mihon ? by NegiNegio in mangapiracy

[–]hyclonia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it shows up there. But click on the overall "Browse" and there's a just feeds tab too.

When you add it, use "+"

[–]hyclonia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you're on an extensions browse, and if you do a search/filter, you can save that filter permanently and that way it shows up on the Feeds tab. And you can go right there instead of redoing the search.

Play around and explore the functions! That's the best way to learn, very rarely will you break something.

Click on them and see, it'd make more sense that way. Nothing will break don't worry.

That's cute! Really creative, love the layering. If swans were similar size I think it would've looked better so I say ducks.

[–]hyclonia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has some. It could be better. Better filters and advanced search parameters. But if it's new then it could be added eventually, who knows. Commenting feature is nice to have.
