  A lot of non mammals other organs to help them perceive. Even aquatic mammals like whales have echolocation. That’s probably why the front facing rule doesn’t apply universally to all animals.

  What was so different about it compared to now? I only played SFV online.

  As a translator, I have to say machine translations are really good if you just want to get the gist of things. If all you want is to understand 90% of what’s written and you can live with the margin of error, then I’m not gonna try to convince you to hire me.

  But if you need to understand 99.9% then a human is required because a machine just will not understand the nuance or have a larger context unless instructed. Localizing is another issue too, you’ll have to take into consideration the cultural nuance of the target language. Localizing software is even more niche because you’re often limited in character count for the source language which machines often misunderstand, and the same limitation for the target language that a machine may not account for.

  tl;dr - hire me if you want good localization

  I thought OP was saying people are resisting ICE by DDoSing CloudFlare while you might be thinking ICE (therefore the administration) is attacking CloudFlare. Either way, it doesn’t make much sense lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Sega Master System⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I got the retrofreak with the master system attachment a few months ago. I’m looking online for a copy of Phantasy Star as we speak! I was a huge fan of PSO (only the first one, the sequel feels like a cheap enshittified knockoff), so I’ve always wanted to know more about its original games.

  I was well-aware by the time I played OoT that NPC were just NPCs, but I think I felt the same bewilderment as you did when I first played Shenmue. I haven’t played in a long time so I’m not sure if it still holds up, but at the time, that world made me feel like the NPCs were real people with actual lives.

  Hank’s videos are like that. I get stressed watching his scishow stuff too, but deal with it because the content is really interesting.

  I watched a short saying you might be an art director, at best, but not really an artist. Because you have the vision but you’re only telling someone (something) to materialize it. I was kind of happy with that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some of your favorite Master System memories?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  When you say Mark III was the Master System in the West, do you mean the Japanese Master System (which is the Mark III with its peripherals built-in)? Or was the OG Mark III called Master System in the West? This is all so confusing, haha. But I’m looking at the Japanese SEGA website and it’s starting to make a lot more sense. Super interesting stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some of your favorite Master System memories?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I notice the product says master system II. Is that backwards compatible with I? Was II a big jump in tech like from PSX to PS2? Also, is Mark III the third iteration of the master system?

  I’ve only touched Sega after the Genesis/Megadrive so their history is kind of a mystery to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Mole Mania" for the original Game Boy gets a full DX colourization romhack by Marc Robledo⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I loved this game. I’m surprised it never got a sequel afaik.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can someone find a redeeming factor about this game? Like anything good about it.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I really appreciate this comment. Your opinions are grounded and also respectful in that you don’t insult what has come to be known as one of the worst NES games.

  I wonder if there are ROM hacks that address any of the issues you mentioned.

  My life revolved around PSO and PSO BB back in high school and university. I’ve been meaning to play the original series, so thanks for reminding me! I’m eyeing a copy of Phantasy Star on the Mark III on Mercari right now…

  Thanks so much! I’ll go check out my local used second-hand shop for these.

  Yes, that’s the joke.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Finally got a Gensis (Megadrive) after years of wanting one!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Can I piggyback on this post? What are some good RPGs for the megadrive/genesis? I like to live translate games as I stream them and I’m looking for some text-heavy games, but it seems like the Super Famicom/SNES had a near-monopoly on RPGs.

  Nintendo games have helped my kids with their reading because they still won’t put voice acting.

  It’s フェニックスの尾. Technically, it’s the “tail” of a phoenix, but it’s clearly depicted as the “tail feather”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s an interesting take, but I don’t like to reward mega corporations. They know what makes them go broke, so they should build up that trust again. It’s not like their service is essential, so why go back so quickly?
