Kuma got a reaction from Deep Blue in Pqube localizing Steins;Gate 0, 2016, PS4/Vita, Preorders Up
I can kind of understand where Deep Blue is coming from. As of late more 'translations' are localiszed as they would a dubbed version. And it is kinda annoying for those that notice the differences and changes in more subtle stuff like honorifics as a means of social hierachy etc.
To be fair there are more americans than there are english. And "British slang" isn't something you see in any kind of media outside of britain itself. For my part, I've seen a few FTW, FTWs and some other stuff I'd count more on the american side of english.
Which means nothing as the translation company is just the company that hires the translators. For all we know they might be Murricans, Brits or even Japs themselves.

saying that the quality of the translation is good... I don't even...
they "Americanized" every single name in the game, changed the order of the names, changed surnames with first names with no patter.., rip off honorifics, ruined and added retarded american speech slang to many characters, replaced the senpai honorific with plain names and then at some point started using it again explaining the meaning of senpai in 1 sentence... so why didnt they used it from the beginning? xD Oh yeah I know, if they use senspai the readers would get lost, who is senpai? you can only see kurisu and maho in the scene, there is on one named senpai there, I'm lost! please Americanize everything for me, please!
They should have also added some dank memes randomly to some scenes just to not to confuse some readers and make them uncomfortable with the weird japanese terms : (, ahh is that an american flag waving in the background? oh and uncle sam? Now i can understand the plot , yokatta I mean thank you God almighty!
There are some bad translated parts (which points out of a translation not being QC or TLC), for example at one point
changing the meanings of どうして to why from how or vise-versa when the characters meant something else, changing the meanings of 寂しい and 寒い
not using the word 萌え for some reason because people that read vns dont know what the hell moe is, right? again bring me something american im getting triggered here with all this weeb BS : (
and I can go on and on....
The translation problems if you don't understand what they are saying is not that bad since you will still get the plot but adding that stupid american slang here and there... that's just bad taste and when they actually change some words (that are in the dictionary of the game) to the "equivalent" of the English ones and then some others they dont... it just doesnt make any sense AT ALL.
At least they kept the childish way that Mayuri uses, but overall they lied or at some point changed how they were translating everything (I remember reading a blog and one of the translator explaining that they were going to leave the honorifics and many other things untouched and stay as true as they could to the jap ver and the previous translation which was way better than this one, so this lead me to believe again that at some point someone changed everything and in the process they ruined some parts of the translation too, that or they didnt QC/TLC)
But then again, how can I complain when I'm being lazy not reading it in japanese and im also using a "free translation"
OH yeah I forgot using the word "Lintahlo" (リンターロ) because let's be racist, it's fun! Even though the professor speaks English he doesn't say it with a fucking L like mocking a Chinese speaker, in fact you can clearly hear him saying "rintarou" in a really poorly and badly acted American accent but that's another issue not related to the translation... (and he is a japanese VA so even if he wanted to pronounce it with an L that's something really difficult for him)
what was I saying? Oh yeah:

Kuma got a reaction from Silvz in Dies Irae Prefundia now live!
So it finally gets translated.
I'm claiming all the salt and tears people will spill when they notice that dies irae is not "The worlds greatest masterpiece and the peak of human creation" and come to accept that in the end it is just a shiny chuuni with nazis and complicated sounding prose.
Might still be interesting for a german to see how japan glorifies NS Germany.

To be honest, fuck code geass. The fact that Gintama was announced for the next season is way more important.

Kuma got a reaction from mitchhamilton in Bunny Black 2 Poblem
It's not a bug, it's a feature. Some party member have the passive ability to widen the map range, but that ability is only in effect as long as they are alive. If they're dead so is your vision.

Kuma got a reaction from ExtraMana in Donald Trump Megathread
Serious, now we're at "White Privilege" niveau?
Anyone wants to glas some juice? And While we're at it: no more chocolate for murica, looking at you, man moving into the big white house, those cotton clothes don't fit anymore. /satire /cynism /sarcasm /notreallyserioushere
That's another problem with 'modern entitlement', The Others are always at fault. Whenever something happens the finger always point the other way. "While it may not your fault, it is your fault for existing in this situation" or stuff like that might be worse than racism. Blaming people just for existing is pretty low. Racism can be explained with fearing the 'different', but finding fault in people just living as white or black or queer or straight or something else is the worst.

This entire thread(s) is a mistake. Now users are turning on each other over ideologies and personal opinions.

Kuma got a reaction from Nandemonai in Most underrated VN of all time?
Funny trivia: What is now known as "visual novel format" is not really "visual novel format". If you don't believe me lokk NVL and ADV format at vndb, if they didn't delete it yet.
I can only talk about vanilla BB and I don't know if it changed in later installments, but vanillas story mode fits as a hybrid. The story sequences are long and often enough and not interrupted by gameplay. If long sequences of uninterupted naration in a game do not count as VN hybrids, what else does?

Kuma got a reaction from Fiddle in Sanoba Witch, Senren * Banka Chances of translation?
Wait a year or two and at least one of them should get some people that will work on them. Yuzusoft is too big a name to ignore for fantranslators out for fame.

Kuma reacted to Tyr in Donald Trump Megathread
The Internet did it. The Internet really did it.
One year of extensive shitposting and meme-magic made it possible: Trump will not only make Anime real, he also won the presidential election.
Proof that Trump will make Visual Novels great again!
I thought the Jews (meaning George Soros) would rig the election, but apparently Democracy actually works!
I'm so happy for you my dear Murricans. You stood up and defeated the liar, warmonger and criminal Hillary Clinton.
From today on, the Internet shall be free from Social Justice and Political Correctness. Please search on Twitter, Facebook, Reddit and everywhere else for SJWs and LGBT people and troll them to your heart's content!
My fellow Fuwas. I hereby declare the Western Eroge community once again a PC-free zone!
Rejoice, you don't need to fanboy LGBT-writers like Scaji and pretentious works like Subahibi anymore. Don't hide your true desires, just fap to your alpha-male nukiges!
Even better if it's an incest eroge where you can date your daughter, because that is exactly what our savior would also do!
And now please excuse me, I have to grab some anime pussy ... and I won't even ask for consent!
