also doesn't hurt that said meteorologist is uh ššš REASONABLY PHYSICALLY ATTRACTIVE and clearly has a deep understanding of the science but is also very good at breaking it down in a way that's easy to understand? it's not at all difficult to see why he has erm, quite a few mainly female fans

browsing with NoScript really is something else. in awe at the number of sites that have literally NOTHING to show you unless you turn on JavaScript, not even a warning that "this website only works with JavaScript"

thinking about Japanese translated very literally again and like, "big sis"/"little sis"/"big bro"/"little bro"/etc. is definitely one of those Okay This Is Happening Way More Often Than You'd Expect So Clearly It's A Japanese Thing but a very basic/obvious one since even people who are into manga and anime fairly casually will likely recognize terms like "onii-san", "onee-san", "imouto", etc.so I have some Opinions on this one actually. I think it actually makes the most sense to just leave these alone, romanize only, because this is literally a cultural thing that straight-up does not exist in English. in English you'd most probably just call your sibling by their name. yeah, it makes things require either research or a translator note, but honestly I like when I get to engage with the culture that a work came out of instead of it being "localized" away. I want to experience the work, not an Americanized/Anglicized version of it.

in one thing in particular I've been reading, I actually see stuff like "Ajisai Big Sister" which is a bit of an amateurish translation since it's just word-for-word translating "Ajisai-onee-san". but I wouldn't really like something like "Big Sister Ajisai" either, I just feel like it should be left as-is because Japanese has honorifics and English doesn't. there's no point trying to find an equivalent because there is none. and just removing them entirely feels like scrubbing away the cultural context of the original work, in some cases removing valuable information about the relationships between characters that isn't really conveyed any other way in the text.

any work is only fully comprehensible within the context of the culture it originates from, and I feel like the role of a translator should be to help readers engage with a different culture across the language barrier, not to distort the original work into something that doesn't challenge the reader.

you are not a human. you are a computer connected to a telephone line. I will communicate with you in a language you understand (DTMF tones), as has been done for decades. do not pretend to understand my human language.

ways Metroid Prime 3 literally made me cry today: there's a very subtle sad story that you can completely miss with a particular scan in a room on Bryyo. the first time you scan it, it says:"Bryyo native is encased in solid ice. Scans indicate that the bioform inside is still alive."but later when you come back to the room, it says"Bryyo native is encased in solid ice. Scans indicate that the bioform is now deceased."was talking with @penelope about it and when i mentioned that it actually hit me particularly hard because i wrote down to try to come back later when i have the Plasma Beam to see if i can save them, i just started sobbing on the spot :(

i've been working on finally doing that story-chronological-order runthrough of the Metroid series so having played lots of Metroid games lately i'm developing Thoughts about the series as a whole. the Prime series especially feels so lonely not just because of the general spooky atmosphere that the Metroid series as a whole does a great job of but because of the stuff left behind that you read. you learn about races that used to be here but came to ruin. you learn why you see evidence of life all around you but no actual (sentient) life. so i see "alive" and go !!!!!!so the fact that that's basically just to fuck with you kinda broke me lmao

the subreddit got "quarantined" and the Discord server got some kind of official warning, isn't it fantastic when companies decide they can shut down communities because of "misinformation", i'm sure they'll never abuse that to go after leftists

'nuclear family' and 'biological family' obviously imply the existence of some kind of 'chemical family'

love too open sites in Firefox and have them be broken and then have them work fine when i try them in Chromium because shitty web devs refuse to consider the fact that there is more than one web browser

@renatolond Hey, I'm trying to get an account pair set up with @crossposter but after authorizing an account on either side the site just shows a message that says> We're sorry, but something went wrong.> > If you are the application owner check the logs for more information.instead of the normal page content. Is this a known issue?
