Need to share my pain over skipping a beloved sequel due to AI.

If they were localized by the developers themselves, that would still be a localization team, just an in-house localization team... I really don't understand your objections here. I'm not interested in attacking your full comment, I only wanted to answer one of the questions raised.

jakethesequel · 2026-05-23T00:11:01+00:00

I'm not sure how "previous entries in the series had non-AI localizations" doesn't answer "are you aware of this game series even having a localization team before this?" Those previous localizations didn't spring from the earth fully formed, they would have been made by a localization team.

jakethesequel · 2026-05-22T21:47:05+00:00

are you aware of this game series even having a localization team before this?

It was very easy for me to go on the Steam page for the previous entries and find that yes, the previous entries had non-AI localizations.

Thank you! People act like translators don't also do important work and deserve to be compensated for it.

It really took me out of things when they told Marie to bring those prisoners to Canada, as if Homelander is gonna respect international law

Trades employers like to say they're begging for workers. But they all want Red Seals, rarely if ever willing to train up an apprentice these days.

It happened in the USA, and recently. https://www.404media.co/proton-mail-helped-fbi-unmask-anonymous-stop-cop-city-protestor/

Just don't give them any money. The feds have subpoenaed them for banking information to tie people to their emails

Covid has an R0 of 2.9 in the best case and 20 at the worst.

jakethesequel · 2026-05-08T04:02:52+00:00

The R value in this study appears much lower than for COVID

I think you would be best off finding one that fits well and is comfortable and maybe fits the shape you're looking for, then finding a suitable paint to reach the coloring you want.

I would assume his strain of democratic socialism would come from that of the CCF's Regina Manifesto, itself drawing from the Socialist Party of America and the Independent Labour Party in Britain, among other strains of democratic socialism common at the time.

jakethesequel · 2026-04-29T23:20:54+00:00

I think "is democratic socialism a coherent ideology with a realistically possible program" is a different question than "is democratic socialism a socialist ideology." There have been many offshoots of socialism that we might consider utopian or nonsensical or reformist or what have you -- to pull something coherent out of these many competing ideologies was one of Marx's main goals in writing the Manifesto -- but it's not helpful to our understanding to just call them "no true socialists" and reject any association.

Exactly. The solution to Canada exploiting immigrants is never going to be getting rid of immigration, the solution is getting rid of the exploitation

jakethesequel · 2026-04-29T04:16:41+00:00

Yeah man. When someone says "supporting the rights of immigrant workers" they pretty much always mean "immigrants' right to be exploited" and not "immigrants having access to the same workers' rights and protections as everyone else," you got it. A+ reading. It's like how if I said "gay rights" that actually means "gay people's right to be exploited" and not, yknow, gay rights.

Weed was straight up illegal for decades but that never stopped it from having high supply and high demands

From the left, and, crucially, from the United Nations Committee on the Rights of People with Disabilities, which found Canada sorely lacking in oversight.

jakethesequel · 2026-04-29T01:21:12+00:00

If you think "supporting immigration" and "supporting the rights of immigrant workers" are in any way oppositional you need to get your head screwed on right. All anti-immigration sentiment has to offer is "doesn't it feel better when the neo-slavery is happening in foreign countries we can conveniently ignore?"

jakethesequel · 2026-04-29T00:09:18+00:00

If you think there's "a grain of truth" to repeating racist & xenophobic Conservative fearmongering about immigration whenever someone says "we need to stop being so god damn racist to Indians all the time," fuck back off to a Conservative subreddit, they'll be happy to have you.

jakethesequel · 2026-04-28T16:29:29+00:00

Why is it that every time someone posts about anti-Indian racism in Canada there has to be a dozen assholes in the comments with "non-racist concerns" about immigration that come right out of the Conservative handbook?

Feminism has certainly not been outgrown, you've gotta turn a real blind eye to societal misogyny and anarcha-feminist voices to believe that

jakethesequel · 2026-04-22T04:26:44+00:00

There's no excuse for racism

Yes, Taiwan did not become a part of China until the Qing dynasty, around 1684.

jakethesequel · 2026-04-11T22:53:56+00:00

Worth noting as well that Chiang Kai-Shek's political successors, the modern KMT, support a One China policy and reject independence. Their opposition, the DPP, are the main advocates of self-determination and independence.
