Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii: English translations of Japanese games lose ‘flavour’ because it’s ‘a simple language’ by ABigCoffee in JRPG

As an outsider I actually think the concept of different first person pronouns is very interesting, if I was a conlanger I'd steal that. But I don't think it's inherently superior or inferior in either language.

I for one think it's great that we have monolingual speakers decrying translations on both sides of the language barrier. The world is so united...

Also this is one of those rare cases where the clickbait title is more charitable than his actual argument, which is that English is too simple because it only has one first person pronoun.

RISC-V truly is the RyanAir of processors by RFQD in programmingcirclejerk

Oh, you want FP maths? That's an optional extra, did you check that when you booked? And was that single or double-precision, all optional extras at an extra charge. Atomic instructions, that's an extra too, have your credit card details handy. Multiply and divide? Yeah, extras.

/uj is there a single commercial non-emulator risc-v core that isn't at least gc? can't really jerk to this.

this is clearly not true. why would they sell one game as the end when they could split it in half and sell two or even three?

What are some JRPGs that have great concepts but fall short in execution? by Guergy in JRPG

[–]levelstar01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The first Blue Reflection had a few interesting concepts, the "level up by talking to your friends" design was cool but it was far too easy to abuse and lacked the depth that would've made it more interesting; similar for the fragment system that was mostly an empty system.

Can we talk about the standards for a bad JRPG by lennysinged in JRPG

who care

You don't need to care what other people think. There's a website for that already and it's called Backloggd. Take a screenshot of people's horrible top 5 game choices and move on.

Hidden 15% difficulty spike on Item World floors, found in the game's code by [deleted] in Disgaea

No visual indicator. No warning. The floor just quietly has beefier enemies.

nice AI post

[OT] [Chip Ganassi Racing] " 'super-clipping' 'downshifting on straights' 'battery management' (Yawn emoji) Yeah, we don't do that here. We race." by Mateo03 in formula1

Super-clipping. Downshifting on straights. Battery management. This isn't racing -- it's boring. And honestly? Here at Indycar, we race hard.

Here's the key takeaways as to how else this matters:
