@rlier23 Send the crybaby westerners back to revolving around DA :kekw: The centralized internet fracturing is a good thing, and don't let anyone convince you otherwise. Those with know-how can interact across borders just fine, while the normies can stay contained in their little safe spaces away from the good stuff. @0vtcast -

So I learned that the Palword devs, Pocketpair Inc, are JP. Man look at that, they got tricked into adding Body Type A/B into the game :kekw:
Now, it's funny, because the gun additions are also justified with "Americans are doing this thing." But unlike Body Type A/B, it was a lucky choice, because it made the game absurd and hilarious for the better. Their market presence is amplified due to it. A thing done right, for the wrong reason.
ALSO HOLY SHIT the flash drives man lmao -

@DrRyanSkelton The word irregular is actually quite an interesting one, because I've seen it used quite a bit where applicable. The Irregular at Magic High School aka Mahouka, irregulars in various isekai titles, and more.
Localization, when it was more honest and well-intended, did give us some great things. Like you mentioned, "Maverick" in English is a much more menacing term for something gone rogue or wrong, in this case, AI. I don't know how well "Irregular Hunter X" would have caught on in English speaking societies. The equivalent of Irregular in Japanese is likely well understood enough, or they just don't have (as many) other words/terms like English does to describe something that has gone defective.

@DrRyanSkelton I would have preferred "I give, I give, I give!" rather than "Uncle, uncle uncle!" The former is a translation, the latter is a localization. And that's not to be petty about translations vs localizations either, I think "I give!" is both more accurate and universally understandable.
But yes, at least here in America, it is colloquially understood that shouting "Uncle, uncle!" is a voice of surrender.

@soravu "That's not realistic" applies to way more than fictional material too. Stuff that is practical and reasonable gets written off as "not realistic," until it happens. -

@AstolfoCockVore I had to go and listen to him myself. It's just Yong, I don't hear Kiryu. It's a Seth Rogan issue all over again. And then the karaoke... I didn't think it sounded great. It's not even endearing because of the autotune to try and make him sound "better." -

@bleedingphoenix Starfield I didn't see anyone really defend, but at least for BG3, I can see the arguments for the decent DND style tactics. That being said I refuse to buy it because of the... STUFF in it, let's just say.
Unfortunately it was real quick how some people jumped to totally shut down all criticism of BG3 with "But it was a good game though???" Idc, I don't want to subsidize my ideology enemies lol

@wan >Maybe that's the only kind of romance they know?
It is inevitable that writers will project a bit of their persona into the writing of their work; the writer's bias. A writer who believes in familial bond will find a way to work it into his story, or at least consider it if it is not intended to be part of the current work. However, the modern "brain" -let's say- I believe has never been taught any amount of self-restraint, rationality, or objectivity. When I watch some of the dialogue of newer games unfold, I tend to fold myself inside out.
Which is weird because I don't think Belgium is like the west coast of America, is it? Is Larian filled with... "those types" from California academic institutions? I could believe the writers projecting the promiscuous tendencies of the recent generations into the game's romance if Larian was based in America, but afaik, it is a Belgian studio. I have no experience with the previous BG games so I have no point of reference, but I can't imagine it was historically cringe and despondent...

@rainignterror1080p I still think it's funny how this gigantic mess of glorified violence is proclaimed to be the best storytelling and experiencing a gamer could ever have.
Also LMAO 28 dilations later.

@lina The problem is that stuff that you could argue is just a nothing burger and isn't actually really prevalent, is suddenly appearing in your life. I asked once to a group of university mates, "Does anyone actually identify as latinx?" And one replied "I have a few friends that do."
That's the crazy part to me. It's simultaneously an invention of a minority and a total nothing-burger, but is also finding its way into lots of people's lives. I forget the numbers but it's something like less than a third of the total population in the US actually uses social media.
But my sampling could also be biased because it's among young university students and graduates, the ones extremely likely to have social medias and thus engage in online ideas. -

@lina >i just think that latinx is a spawn of businessmen trying to make sure as few people as possible are offended by anything happening
We can go a bit further, where did the general sentiment of trying to offend as little as possible come from? My theory is that terms like latinx and the sentiments for "inclusivity" are a product of something much more abstract. I think simply someone either in academia or the business sector came up with it as a RESULT of what started in the sociopolitical sphere with small things like political correctness. Gradually, people's way of thinking and speech became, in a way, sanitized, and they sought ways to implement that sanitization in other areas of society.
That's just my uneducated analsysis, though 🤷 -

@lina Of course, intent matters. I forget where I first learned the idea from but "intent matters" is something I've been holding onto. Even the intention behind intentions; like when someone does something malicious and then feigns ignorance (it was just a prank, bro).
>and a whole other thing when you're ignorant and you call someone latinx because you think that's inclusive
That's the tragic part to me. People who don't know any better end up using the term and causing confusion. The way I see things, it's superficially innocuous or benign, but there's an extra layer of insidiousness that I don't think most people care to realize; not necessarily out of malice but just because there are other things demanding their attention.
One of my friends is actually taking a "Latinx Studies" class as (I presume) the general ed portion of his degree, and he has vehemently voiced his hatred and boredom of that class. Ultimately though, he just suckers up and does the work so he can proceed in his... something medicine and therapy related degree. I'm very curious what the other students think of it. I think most people would rather move on with life rather than bring up the issue and stop it. Like I mentioned before, I can't blame him because that's far above his goal in that institution, but yknow, that's also how stupid ideas like that proliferate. A strange philosophical conundrum; are we duty bound to challenge stupid ideas like this no matter where they spawn? Perhaps it's easy to say yes if you have a lot of time on your hand, but some people are probably just way too busy and don't have the mental affordance to.
Part of me actually thinks "Latinx" is a spawn of academia rather than online mental illness. The latter is the disseminator, since academics tend to have a mental/social space utilizing social media.
