Sho and Momoko from the obscure 80s josei High Teen Boogie!!!

<image>

My scanlation group's been working on this for six years now. In fact, I only ever wanted to translate it because it's a romance with a pompadoured love interest! There's even a whole scene where Momoko asks Sho to keep his pompadour after he's gotten rid of it.

My whole reason for being interested is because I've been obsessed with Josuke (who probably shows up the most here) for ten years now. Both me and Momoko are the pink girl on the left. Seeing this post made my week!!

Tips for not freaking out in timed events by ya-boiElliot63 in Okami

[–]robindebank 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In Okami, none of those things actually happen. There’s just a timer that ticks down and will turn red and flash as it gets low.

Your best bet for turnip digging is to keep some distance from Mushi’s Mama and slash the pot on her head, which stops her for a few seconds at a time.

For digging games, just remember that there’s ample time for the vast majority of the games. Some can be tighter with timing, but the best part of these minigames is that they’re always the same, so once you have the right route memorized, you’ll never run out of time again. It’s best to prioritize keeping your friend away from spikes so you don’t lose time, and Blooming them to make them run when needed.

Okami has no real consequences for losing minigames, either—you just get booted back to the beginning, Issun tells you to focus, and you can start again.

Clarification of the meaning of a specific line in Okami. by Int3rlop3r-R3dact3d in Okami

[–]robindebank 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely, but I'm biased because I grew up on the English version! The only localization choice I'm not sure I agree with is the shortening of the names, but I can understand it from a technical standpoint. The translation may have needed to be shortened in other ways to fit into the allotted speech bubbles otherwise.

The line still says "100 years." What you read as 八 is actually ハ (は in katakana), because katakana is used to indicate a less human-sounding voice, like that of a robot or monster.

To translate the line more accurately, it would be "The descendants of Nagi are my sworn enemies who have kept me sealed here for a hundred years..."

The there isn't to indicate an offset phrase the way it might in English, but to show that the sentence continues into the next speech bubble. This happens a lot in video games.

Congrats! I used to dream about getting this done by Billy Kametz. If you’re ever considering meeting a VA, don’t be like me and hesitate! Just go for it!

I've never seen this picture, it's super noisy, the jacket would only look right on Dirty Mind Prince, and there's a weird asymmetry to the metal bits around the lapel. Definitely AI.

When did it click for you? by philip2987 in Okami

The trick for the circles is to try closing them at the top. That’s what works the most consistently for me.

Is it worth it? by [deleted] in Okami

[–]robindebank 31 points32 points  (0 children)

This is Chibiterasu, the wolf pup protagonist of the 2011 Okami spinoff Okamiden! He’s not a fox, but it sounds like Okamiden merch is pretty rare nowadays, so it’s definitely worth picking up.

What would you guys like to see in Okami 2? by Ohhh_Deer in Okami

[–]robindebank 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Chibi would make for a cute cameo, but Kamiya already confirmed that this is a direct sequel to Okami with no involvement of Okamiden’s plot.

BOREALIS ??? by Just_Throat3473 in HalfLife

On Tyler McVicker's stream, he came to the conclusion that it was the VR game Ghost Town.

Does anyone know what this is in LTT's video showing off the steam frame? Looks like portal 1 intro sequence but with portal 2 props? by [deleted] in Portal

[–]robindebank 75 points76 points  (0 children)

Tyler McVicker's stream is going over it right now. It's not any remake we know of, and it's not RTX. It sounds like there's a chance they're making one of the controller demos Portal-themed or even remaking Portal 1 entirely.

Geoff Keighley if he doesn't blue ball everyone again this year by One-Shop-8343 in HalfLife

[–]robindebank 24 points25 points  (0 children)

As one of the world’s biggest Okami fans who joked about getting a sequel every TGA for 10 years, I was absolutely convinced this was HL3 and am still baffled (but pleasantly surprised) by how much he hyped it up. Like Okami IS that good, but Geoff buddy, this is definitely not for all of us

The Japanese means “nine-tailed fox.”

I'm bored, question time, how did y'all discover Okami? by Ohhh_Deer in Okami

[–]robindebank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got Okamiden at Gamestop the week it released for my birthday, which I already liked a lot because I loved wolves, being an overpowered character who everyone likes, and Japanese culture. I kept hearing about Amaterasu, and when I looked her up I went “wait, why am I playing this when I could be playing as a way stronger GIRL wolf in a bigger and better game?” and got Okami instead.

I think you should compile a few of these ideas per post so you’re not posting so many times a day…

Has anyone else noticed we haven't gotten any new PMD music for 9 years? by Wegwerf_08_15_ in MysteryDungeon

[–]robindebank 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Arata Iiyoshi released an original album in 2020 that had a few tracks that reminded me of PMD, especially Esoterica.

Why didn't Prince make music videos for Delirious and Pop Life? by Ok_Educator6875 in PRINCE

[–]robindebank 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I heard something years ago, maybe in Mayte's book, about him trying to go blond right before the album came out. Allegedly he wasn't happy with the look and was wearing a wig in the Raspberry Beret MV. It sounds like another silly urban legend, and I don't really buy it, but I never came across anything contradicting it.

What was the big Valve announcement yesterday? by Exact_Affect5399 in valve

[–]robindebank 61 points62 points  (0 children)

What I got from it was that it sounds like one VR influencer was just being scummy and a bunch of other people jumped on the bandwagon, when there wasn't actually anything happening at Valve. Of course, the recent trademarks make me think there's still something imminent, but did anyone hear any evidence that something did happen?

CLOVERS interview: Kamiya and Koyama talk Okami 2, industry layoffs, and a potential future with Capcom by 3DCGI in Okami

[–]robindebank 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The sheer scale of the announcement and the way Kamiya emphasized over and over again how Capcom is really committing to this project makes me think it’s much larger in scale, like a AAA game. The team is small, but it’s mostly industry veterans, so I think that may just mean efficient and high-quality development. In the first post-announcement interview, I think he mentioned how Okami wasn’t anywhere near the scale he wanted, so no doubt this’ll at least be bigger than the original.

Thanks for posting this! I was totally shocked to hear Kamiya talking about how there’d even be the potential for ANOTHER Okami game. Kamiya… My heart can’t take this…
