I don't visit here often, only when I finish a VN and want to blog about it, could someone elaborate on the MUMBAImasa meme to meWhat's the relation between an indian city and muramasa? This is a serious question, please answer truthfully before memeing

>>581980187>simply ask GPT to do a general character voice writeup on the game and then use that as the basis to judge if the translation departedthere are a bunch of problems with this:>1. codex limits the context to 270k tokensaka it won't remember any prose detail when it reaches the end, just the plot beats. to avoid this, it would need to assign scores line by line while it checks it, but since it doesn't know how that voice should be beforehand, it doesn't help much. another solution could be making 2 passes, 1 to determine how each voice should be, and then simply re-check everything linearly, but it would it more tokens. i might try this with kurai heya tho>2. this shit is way too non-deterministic for this. even the accuracy errors thing can vary a lot based on how nitpicky it decides to be, so unless there is a very specific methodology for this, i wouldn't bother

>>581978801actually how would it rate some MTL slop by shit models? Curious>>581980658? The voice writeup on how character speaks doesn't require the whole VN - 30-60 lines by a character is plenty, all it has to do is pull by name, make a 1-3 sentence writeup and go.>non-deterministicIt should flag cases where it doesn't fit the character or the translation overdoes it by turning into caricaturetoss me kurai heiya script and I can try since I dont really use work for much

>>581981118>actually how would it rate some MTL slop by shit models?The rating is a mostly objective look at accuracy. So MTL slop by shit models, if inaccurate, would be rated poorly.

>>581981131>umiNEGROThis and KINOmasa
>>581980758I've read most of them and I wouldn't go that far. The Project KATANA games had great common routes, but their individual character routes tended to not be as good. The best game in the series (Yureaka) had detached H-content in the common route and largely vestigial character routes where basically nothing happened. Totsuraba is definitely a better overall game than the Project KATANA series.
>>581980932Dimension Traverse is the name of totsureba's op.double retard
>>581981145It's un-objective but it may be ideal to add a column marking the model used for each translation so they aren't considered equal. "Unknown" if the patch releaser didn't clarify. Maybe just put "slop" for any game from 2024 or earlier.

>>581981118>The voice writeup on how character speaks doesn't require the whole VN - 30-60 lines by a character is plenty, all it has to do is pull by name, make a 1-3 sentence writeup and go.this would work on moeshit/shounenslop, but it's not good enough for anything with nuance characters that aren't cardboard cutouts>It should flag cases where it doesn't fit the character or the translation overdoes it by turning into caricatureno, i mean that each run it could decided that the character voice should be different, based purely on randomness, and while the jp/en mistakes also has this problem, there's way less room for nitpickiness than with characters voices, especially if the initial sample is taken randomly and is 30 lines onlythis is the tl with most translation errors already fixed (the one i used when reading it), but the tone is the same of the original TL: https://pixeldrain com/u/bknNRp5A>>581981445i can either add the whole "notes" section but it will ruin the aesthetic, or the model field, but it definitely won't be me the one who fills it randomly. anyway, they are in release order so the higher it is the more like it's to be good

>>581982910Who cares? Anyone can just MTL those games and it'd be faster and more accurate.

>>581982928np, i'm up for further suggestion.

>>581982910twintastic is probably https://vndb.org/v61214
>>581982084Ideally it should be sortable by model like some table. You've GPT you can fucking code a decent site UI thing for sure bro
>>581982910Incestkino
>>581982325OK. Model info is really important so it would be good for the wiki to have it at some point. In 2027 people will want to know if something is new cutting edge or Sol.

>>581982128That sounds kino.Recommendation?
>>581981774I'm fine thank you, how're u?
>I used to be of the opinion that music, art, voice acting, presentation and etc. (aka production values) could only carry a novel so far. After all, visual novels are still at the heart of it, novels, and the story is the 'meat' of the content. That notion was completely shattered after I finished Dimension Totsu Lovers. This game is sheer testament to how high music and art can elevate a given story or more than compensate for it's shortcomings in DTL's case.From VNDB.
>>581983734All good>>581982963I didnt know Mumbai had such French-lookin restaurants
>>581983883Wait but that VN looks like shit. That doesn't make sense
>>581981076Of course they matter, but they can only carry shit writing so far dipshit e.g. Nekopara>>581981416The heroine routes were shit in totsuraba wdym? The MC was also much worse. At least in the project katana games the main girls route ended up being good cause she gets the most effort put into it at the expense of the other heroines. >Yureaka is the bestThat's debatable, I've heard more people say Mekuiro was the best of the series. And the detached H-scenes/heroine routes in yureaka was certainly a decision that crystalia thankfully will never do again.
>>581983929That's good to hear, have a nice day.
>>581983883Fine nigga I will read Totsuraba.
>>581983158>>581983220the problem isn't the code, it's the data, lil bro. guess you don't have a degree in cs so you have no idea how hard it is to do what you are asking for with the data i have. the existting information isn't going anywhere btw, since it's still saved on vndb, but consider that>most of those don't disclaim the model used so 90% will be blank>some use multiple/different models/harnesses/thinking budgets/etc combination>even if i take the few with a single disclosed model, i would still need to decide how they are ranked between each others, otherwise the sorting would be meaningless>even if i go through all the llm release histories, i still wouldn't be able to meaningfull sort by that because there are no translation-specific leaderboards so it would be very approximate>and all this shit is completely a waste of time since pre-2025 mtl are all shit anywayi'd rather wait until sol is ultra-fast and free, and then run the qc and assign an accuracy score to each release semi-automatically (that's the plan for 2027)tl;dr: 2026 = good, 2025 = good if edited, 2024 = fan-tl level if edited
>>581984129Thanks

>>581984336Which SH OST tracks are good, the OP?
I'm getting second hand embarrassment.
>>581984614LFG
>>581984575Wife
>>581984686All of them.
>>581984691coquimba's papi...
>>581984336A large part of the reason why the tracks are good is cause of the context of the scene. They all work hand in hand to create that cinema moment, though personally I think If*else is the best track of the game, though dimension traverse and unification are pretty up there.
