DO NOT BUY THIS GAME, NOT BECAUSE OF THE TRANSLATION BUT BECAUSE YOU WILL GIVE MONEY TO WSS PLAYGROUND AND THEY'RE EVIL>the main people behind needy girl overdose are nyalra and his small team, wss just publishes it>the ceo of wss, daichi saito, is the producer of ngo>the game is successful and sells millions of copies>since its their most successful published game by far, saito sees this as an opportunity to make easy money and starts mistreating nyalra and the others>nyalra claims saito abused the ngo team and hasn't compensated them>saito basically takes over the ngo ip and starts whoring it out for collabs and merch without the consent of any of the devs, who see none of the money from that stuff>saito starts avoiding japanese media outlets so he wont say anything he can be held accountable for since overseas fans wont know or care>nyalra and saito are now engaged in legal shit because saito wont stop being an assholeThis is all from nyalra's twitter. And by supporting this game which wss helped develop, anything else they worked on or published, or anything new done with the ngo ip, you are giving money to saito. Do not buy yunyun syndrome, support nyalra and his new company haze denki instead. If you want to play yunyun then stick to piracy

for all 4 people that actually play the gamepro tip for true true end grind while it does not save score, auto-play keyboard still generates cards and lets you select them after play, i.e. lets you grind conspiracies pro tip for regular gameplay that i've blinded the entire playthough there is a button at bottom right during card select that auto chooses card set with available conspiracies
>>737703157The dev is working on it too but seems to be making the same people who fucked it up, fix itI'd get everyone to tell the dev to just let Mantra handle it as they did great with the other languages
An anon from a previous thread wanted this
>>737703358I guess that's "good enough" for now. I just want to play the game without all the gay shit.

I'd be looking into a lawsuit just from how they falsely represented themselves on their JP page vs the English one.
>>737703661Its tranny trying to claim is as "their own" game

>>737703719People really need to be making a bigger deal about the purposefully false representation with the JP and ENG website pages. If anything should get some "news" coverage, it should be that
>>737703719The original devs are literally defending the trannylation though
>>737703794Okay but in this case any language but English would be fine. If anything ESLs are set on this game since the other translations are good.
>>737703837>>737703719qrd on the websites?is dragonbaby's jp site basically a completely different site from their eng one?
I wanted it to be good, but life doesn't work out that way ever.Shout out to the cute neet who gave me the yunyun cosplay picture, I printed it and put it on my wall <3 ~uncfag
>>737703938Yeah, and it wasn't like that back in 2020 going by the internet archive. Their JP site is extremely dry.
>>737703794The threads would be poxxed anyway, it will be impossible to have a genuine discussion about yunyun even months after the translation gets fixed.
>>737703621>not a perfect loop
>>737703938Yes, the site doesn't use that unprofessional font, doesn't mention anything about lbgt or anything like that, even the writing on it is better and less ""quirky""
>>737703629It's passable.
>>737703985Very Concerning Indeed
>>737704047another proof AI > trannylators
>>737703179I heard it's bad. Very very bad.
>>737703879They're defending it by publically asking everyone to submit fixes to the translation and then changing them immediately?https://steamcommunity.com/games/2914150/announcements/detail/502856256328827747

>>737702969I have safe mental illness fatigue
>>737702969How did the translators even get the job?Serious question since I'm sure I could do a better job and it'd be nice to have a side hustle.
>>737703971>>737704024I just looked up the jp site, the font is more techy looking and they do still describe themselves as weird and eccentric, not-your-normal-localization-teamIt's not THAT different, but the font usage on the eng site is fucking embarrassing nonetheless. Like some zane_rocks_14 myspace shit.
>>737703794You know what'the worst part? Even if you play on a different language, you'll still be stuck with the version of the game that had its title also bastardized.
fucking christ
I don't understand this game. There are charts I can perfect first try on the third difficulty but there are other charts that ask so much of the player that they've never experienced before. I played other rhythm games with better difficulty curves
>>737704408Weird and eccentric is a far cry from what they use on the english side
>>737704408>>737704024>>737703971Sorry. Looked again and the Jp site includes FAR less of the um... "flavor" paragraphs they have in the eng site...
>>737704501is there still only four difficulties in the game? i thought some anon said they added another
>>737704428Yea, just omitting Denpa from a game about denpa is asinine
>>737704538Now you see what we mean. None of this "things we've molested" and "sacrifices" nonsense.
>>737704518Yup i just looked at the jp site again and they keep their description brief.In eng theres a loooooot of really cringeworthy, dumb bullshit
>>737704501are you talking about tryhard "winter is a machine gun"
>>737703621Was this girl molested by her stepfather?
>>737704760by trannies
>every other language is fine only EN is fuckedWhat the fuck is wrong with the english translation scene? Why the fuck doesn't this happen to german, french or spanish?
>>737704047>"oshi" has been translated to "waifu"Artificial intelligence has gone woke. They are laughing at you at OpenAI.
>>737705034other languages are ""fine"" because they got an MTL AI translationthey're of serviceable quality at best but not good
Interestingly dragonbaby's site was still relatively professional (despite the worrying transcreation/consultancy service they optionally offered going all the way) back in February. This shift in the way they present themselves is recent.https://web.archive.org/web/20260103014130/https://dragonbaby.com/
>>737705302>MTL*supposedly, according to anon
>>737705392According to the guy himself on the Steam forums, actually.
>>737705429Oh fuck you meant the non-English localizations not the fan translationNo, those are definitely AI-assisted, Mantra Inc is creditedhttps://mantra.co.jp/en/
>>737705034If dev was smart, he would tell troonbaby to fuck off and hire Mantra to retranslate the game for quick and easy fix before it's too late
>>737704263>Trannies won.won another the suicide speedrun award
They just announced their new game Drunken Goddess Refluxbut the steam page and english title is PUKEY GODDES SHOT TRICKYeah I think I'm refunding Yunyun because it smells like they used Dragonbaby again for the localization
>>737705503Oh, you're right. Thanks for the correction.
>>737705595what was wrong with drunken goddess reflux? i think you're right about dragonbaby doing this one too
>>737705595You think that English title was written by an English speaker?
>>737705595it's the other way around
not a cult!
>>737705595https://x.com/AllianceArtsJP/status/2048018936042827975Pukey Goddess Shot Trick is the JP title.
>>737705559He is not smart and it is too late. Not gonna buy it anymore.
>>737705595What's with that localization team wanting to change the title of the games when they were already perfectly written in english?
>>737705595Opposite way around. Pukey is the JP title.
>>737703527i still can't believe this is real
>>737705760>>737705813>>737706201Thanks for correcting me and pointing out that I'm a bakathe tweet trailer doesn't mention the localization team but someone made a cropped screenshot of Dragonbaby Inc being the localization team, no clue where they got their source from
>>737706154Molesters like to leave a visible mark on their victim as a sign of claiming them.It's a bit like how abused children literally smear shit and bodily fluids in their surroundings as a way to reclaim control over their territory.
>>737704408The English site calls the companies they've worked with "sacrifices." The Japanese site instead calls them "partners." That's a night and day difference. Naturally the English is far closer to how they really think and act.
I think this was on purpose, the devs know english gaijins are troons so make that version for trannes and every other tl for normal humans
>>737705595It's amazing just how many retards here are bitching without even knowing what the fuck they're talking about.It's no surprise they're advocating for fucking MTL.
>>737705302>completely captures the JP meanings>serviceable Hmmm........
>>737706746who are you quoting?
>>737705378Wonder what happened internally to cause the shift
how did they manage to sell Japan rewriting their stories? When I played the demo, I saw this obnoxious push on social media to defend the skibidi stuff. Did the devs literally get Discord-groomed?
Even redditors are shitting all over the tl, some mentioning>"This is the inevitable end point of Localizers “adding flavour” (ridiculous statement in its own right) during the translation process. Some like to play ignorant but this is the issue a lot of people have with the process with the people behind it essentially making up their own dialogue.">"I'm just happy there's a spotlight being shone on this. Maybe it will herald a change in the industry.>"The brutal truth here is that game localizations into English are, more often than not, very sub-par. Only the outright malicious specimens, like this one or Eiyuden Chronicle, really stand out, but the whole industry of game localization is just fundamentally broken.">"I can say this because we have a much larger industry, anime localization, serving as the counterpoint. Anime localization today is, and has been for close to a decade, essentially unassailable. You would need to deliberately cherry-pick to highlight examples of bad players. If I rolled dice to choose a random anime episode of the last decade, and rolled more dice to single out a 60 second block, there's a 99% likelihood that none of the localized dialogue in those 60 seconds would be genuinely open to criticism. Sub or dub.">"I'm elaborating this in a desperate attempt to underpin the contrast at work here. Almost entirely great localization, vs. probably severely compromised.">"I'm a professional localizer myself and seeing what happened with this game is infuriating. It's this kind of malice and localization with an agenda that gives the KotakuInAction crowd all the ammo they need to keep whining about localizing in general.>"AI is never going to properly replace human nuance, but as long as people like this keep somehow getting a foot in the door it's never going to stop the other crowd from demanding my whole industry's head on a platter."Damn first time for everything, the localizers fucked up big time. Positive is, devs listening.
>>737706791the second greentext is the actual quote and not a meme arrow
>>737706665MTL won't replace corporate brainwashing with fascism.
>>737706579>denpa>trooncoreSoiteen or actual troon, call it
>>737706847Possibly? Though it looks like the faggotry is no longer optional with this company based on the current version of their site, so it's entirely possible they just fucked him over.
Did the localization team ever explain themselves or are they hiding as hard as they can?
>>737707019no idea, with this much backlash and also this much of a deliberate fuck up I don't really know what you could even say at this point
>>737705229i wonder what model/prompt they used. gpt-5.5 spat out better results, and picked up on the oshi thing with TL notes and such.
>>737706746>completely captures the JP meaningsthat's not true at least the german translation contains some grammatical errors and sometimes missing words it's not egregious, hence serviceable
So anons, would mtl be unironically better than this abomination?
>>mantra translates the rance reference >>dragonbaby misses the reference and replaces it>>this happens for many more references >they're of serviceable quality at best but not good
>>737706579denpa is an old and established subculture and has nothing to do with troons
>>737703527SaarGPT translation:To be fair, you know, it takes a pretty high IQ to understand Yunyun. Yunyun’s existence is extremely subtle, and her “electromagnetic wave structure” is complex, so without proper reception ability, most of her intent just goes right over people’s heads. And what’s more, Yunyun’s uniquely “yunyun” worldview is intricately woven into her character. For example, if you watch *Execution Angel † Guiltina*, you should understand. Even her catchphrase “Rimu de Latent” isn’t just something cute. It actually carries a very deep meaning in terms of wave structure. True receivers understand that properly. They have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate Yunyun’s depth.Yunyun isn’t just “cute.” She’s an existence that speaks about big themes like life and existence itself. So, honestly, I kind of feel sorry for people who say “I don’t get Yunyun.” Take her famous wave phrase, “Rimu de Latent.” If you don’t understand it, it just means you haven’t tuned in yet. Even now, I can’t help but laugh a little when I imagine people tilting their heads and asking, “What is Yunyun?” It just makes me think, “Ah, their frequency isn’t aligned yet.” It’s a bit pitiful, but it can’t be helped. After all, these waves only reach chosen receivers.And by the way, just so you know, I’ve been embedding the digital tattoo “Rimu de Latent” across various message boards. Of course, not everyone can understand it. Only those who can properly receive Yunyun’s waves can grasp its meaning. At the very least, you have to prove you’ve got reception sensitivity on par with mine. Ideally, just a little lower is perfect.It’s not like it has any personal meaning or anything.Rimu de Latent.
>>737707019>>737707096They are still in charge of the translation and still fucking it up, in some cases probably deliberately out of spite, like that line they left untranslated (oagari yo).
>>737707338gg, this game is cooked for english readers
>>737707315you're replying to someone who knows and does not care about reality
>>737707338>oagari yoI want to say that's a reference to Food Wars but I can't remember if that's exactly what the MC says. Either way it's likely that the dev himself made those quick fixes with MTL to calm people down before the full review of the script.
EOP deserve it tho

>>737703358>>737704047I just got to this thread and looking at the screenshots on the github + the one one I'm replying to just made me realize Yunyun says "yun" at the end of her sentences and NOWHERE was that ever even suggested in the official translation. They unironically butchered her personality?
>>737707494There's no way it's the dev himself unless he was just pretending to be Japanese. It's still full of "punched up" zoomerisms which the dev has no chance of coming up with. https://steamcommunity.com/app/2914150/eventcomments/805723552519119207?snr=1_2108_9__2107 Does any of this sound like MTL to you?

>>737708119I mean, if you mean where it originally came from. In terms of where I actually sourced the text when I posted it, I got it from the script dump zip anon posted yesterday.
does anyone have the trannylator's site? not dragonbaby, the other one

>>737704145they literally said they're working with the original translation team still
Looking at all the games Dragonbaby has localized throughout the decades is insane. Everything starts to add up when you realize the majority of Japanese games are translated by the same small handful of compromised localization studios.
>>737704441what does this even meanwhy is this such a lobotomized statement
>>737709523Not decades, this company has only been around since like 2018 and are claiming credit for things their employees did. The list on their website is not trustworthy.

>>737709686Don't get me wrong, that guy is 100% a butcher.Part of the reason this case is so fascinating though is most of the stuff the company was actually responsible for up until recently hasn't been brutally raped like poor yunyun.>>737704428Unless you're Chinese or Korean because for some reason those are fine
>>737709852The logos and title, I mean. I have no fucking clue about those translations.

>>737710062It's actually probably set in probably the late '10s but Q-chan is perpetually stuck in the early '00s and the entire game is basically inside her head
>>737710130Yeah, but even then, surely she'd use period-accurate slang as a means of escapism alone. I sure would if I wanted to immerse myself in a fantasy of being in a certain year.
>>737710062>game set and/or captures the 00's and early 10's>skibidirrizz zoomerspeak and woke ideologism of the 20's in itYou can use the term anachronism if ya wanna sound smart.“That’s what Jesus meant,” whispers the ghost of Slothrop’s first American ancestor William, “venturing out on the Sea of Galilee. He saw it from the lemming point of view. Without the millions who had plunged and drowned, there could have been no miracle. The successful loner was only the other part of it: the last piece to the jigsaw puzzle, whose shape had already been created by the Preterite, like the last blank space on the table.” “Wait a minute. You people didn’t have jigsaw puzzles.” “Aw, shit.”

>>737710375I'm differentiating between the MGS fag's portfolio and the company portfolio.
Just in case you're wondering, this is what a real translator looks like:>On starting to read the novel, the reader of the Polish original is struck immediately by the appearance of the text. The visual aspect is a significant factor, since Dukaj employs standard Polish orthography from before the reforms of 1936, that is in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries (he does not employ Old Polish forms from earlier centuries). The changes affected certain letters and also certain grammatical endings; the most significant: consonants were to be followed by i where j had formerly been in use (except after c, s and z); the distinction between adjective endings in -ym, -ymi and -em, -emi was abolished, leaving only -ym and -ymi. As these were and are very frequent usages, the reforms dramatically altered the way a text appears on the page. To those who regularly read nineteenth- or early-twentieth-century Polish-language publications, the old orthography and grammar are familiar, but to the majority of readers they are not. They feel antiquated and give a sense of the distant past. Given also the impact on language of the intervening communist era, it is understandable that today’s Polish speakers might feel far-removed from the orthography of Dukaj’s book.>In order to create a similar distancing effect in English, we have to go back much further than the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, as far as the conventions of the mid- or even early eighteenth century. When we speak of such ‘archaism’ in English, it cannot be applied to the historical setting of Dukaj’s novel without creating an enormous anachronism, because the contrast between our contemporary English and early-twentieth-century English is nowhere near as great as it is in Polish.
>>737710553>So, exactly what period of English are we looking to? That of Blake, Defoe, Swift, Milton, Shakespeare? But it will not do to impose the language of these writers on a narrative stemming from late imperial Russia. The author indicated to me that an inspiration for him had been the novel by Thomas Pynchon Mason & Dixon (1997). Here, Pynchon uses such orthographic conventions as capitalising the first letter of nouns and ending many past-tense verbs with apostrophe d instead of the later -ed (dress’d, smil’d, exclaim’d). This language, like Dukaj’s archaism, is a construction, yet in Pynchon’s case arguably appropriate to the period and cultural setting of his novel: the action takes place between England and America in the 1760s–1780s.>So, what to do? I decided to use Victorian and early-twentieth-century literary English as my inspiration, this being closer to the time when the fictional Gierosławski wrote his narrative. I was careful not to use any word or expression that would not have been used before 1930; my text should therefore not feel unduly modern or present-day. I do appreciate the possibility, however, that in the alternative reality, Gierosławski’s manuscript could theoretically have lain undiscovered for some time, found by a reader only in the far distant future, by which time his language might indeed have felt as ‘archaic’ as Swift or Defoe (or Pynchon). But I stand by my contention that Gierosławski’s narrative should be rendered in a style of English appropriate to the time in which it arose (probably sometime in the early 1930s of Ice’s alternative reality).
>>737710503My point is that this is par of the course. None of the translations I'm seeing that I'm actually familiar with have been good. But this game is intentionally made to reference memes in its original form, and the narrative style is mostly things like random shitposts on the internet in reply to random statements, this really gives them the opportunity to go full retard.They couldn't hold back from adding "chud" to Eiyuden Chronicle, how could they possibly resist it for a game that takes place on the internet?
>>737710553Is this about Jacek Dukaj's Ice? I've heard great things.
>>737710591Because they resisted it before with Needy Girl Overdose and most of the localization there was at very least period-accurate and thematically appropriate even if it still wasn't a straight translation as I'd prefer.Kemono Teatime, Great Villainess and All-in Abyss also lacked these problems despite similar subject material.Apollo Justice and Eiyuden Chronicle are recent. Something changed internally or they built up enough of a reputation that they took their mask off and stopped doing it properly.
>>737710608The Polish original is great, both stylistically and in terms of the philosophical discussions taking place. I didn't like the action scenes and the inclusion of Nikolai Tesla as one of the core characters, but that's a pretty small flaw.I can't speak for the English translation, but the translator seems to have put a great deal of thought into it. And the excerpts I've seen look great:>Beneath feather quilt, beneath three blankets and an old gabardine overcoat, in fustian long johns and wool-knit sweater, in socks pulled over socks – feet only protruding from under quilt and blankets – thawed out at last after ten or more hours of sleep, curled almost into a ball, head wedged under pillow in its thick pillowcase, so that sounds reached me already mellowed, warmed, wax-coated, like ants trapped in resin: slowly and with great effort they forced their way in, through sleep and through pillow, little by little, word by word...>Pod pierzyną, pod trzema kocami i starym płaszczem gabardynowym, w barchanowych kalesonach i swetrze włóczkowym, w skarpetach naciągniętych na skarpety - tylko stopy wystawały spod pierzyny i koców - po kilkunastu godzinach snu nareszcie rozmrożony, zwinięty prawie w kulę, z głową wciśniętą pod poduchę w grubej obszewce, że i dźwięki docierały już miękkie, ogrzane, oblane w wosku, jak mrówki ugrzęzłe w żywicy, tak one przedzierały się w głąb powoli i z wielkim mozołem, przez sen i przez poduszkę, milimetr za milimetrem, słowo za słowem...
i fundamentally cannot understand desiring and actually following through with the desire to learn japanese, or any language for that matter, just to use that ability to be a bad faith actor in the localization industrylike jesus christ
>quit taking our jobsssssswith the ongoing controversy, this was a very funny scene to get
>>737710591This, it's like what happened with Neptune. It's comedy, there's references sure but only the localized version removes the few serious moments in place of more jokes because "it's a comedy why bother having any serious parts in it, you aren't losing anything"Sincerity is all I fucking want and these cunts can't even do something that simple.
>>737711349They don't actually speak Japanese and it's incredibly obvious from reading their hackjobs. These guys may be located out of Osaka, but it's a common misconception that you need to speak Japanese to live in Japan, there are signs in English all over and the locals can generally speak it well enough that you can get by.

"Hello everyone,My name is Fuyuki Hayashi (WHO YOU), the creator of Yunyun Syndrome!? Rhythm Psychosis. As this is an urgent matter, please allow me to communicate via machine translation.First of all, thank you very much to everyone who has purchased Yunyun Syndrome!? Rhythm Psychosis, added it to your wishlist, or shown interest in the game.We are aware that many players—especially those enjoying the game primarily in English—have raised concerns about the quality of the localization. These comments have been shared through Steam reviews and the Community Hub, as well as on X, YouTube trailer comments, Discord, and other platforms. While it is difficult to review every single message in detail, I am reading as many of your comments as possible.""Examples:END FASCISMi will NEVER be victimized under fascism againThe magical girl personas of all your apps, duh.someone hire that mr robo guy loli'd cut my uterus out if i cldetc.These changes will be implemented by the end of today (Japan Standard Time), which corresponds to 8:00 AM PT on April 25.In addition, while a detailed schedule has not yet been finalized, we plan to review all in-game text alongside our localization partners in the near future and make sure the final product fully represents my vision."https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2914150/view/502856256328827730
>>737702969What even was the original line here?
>>737715271It was quite literally a variant of the rick & morty pasta >>737703527
>>737704148Best poster in these threads.
>>737702969>are they going to removeno>are they going to fixno>will the tl will be betterno>will they cry, seethe, act smug and try their best to paint anyone having a complain towards the TL as "chuds"you bet>will they include the otaku referencesyou VILL enjoy your zommer/alphag speak and (you) VILL like it or play it in another language (and/or pirate it, cheevos also compromised)
>>737708004Probably yeah. I think you can write some shit and it might get into the game. I wonder if the creator even knew about the copypasta.
>>737715560they already removed the most blatant leftist troon text but the tl is still butchered>>737714823
>>737715560The devs are actively fixing it though. To what extent remains to be seen, this shit ain't getting fixed overnight, but they are taking some action.
>>737715698You're being too hopeful. If they wanted to fix it, they'd tell the company to fuck off. This would actually be huge because Japanese companies really like their blacklists so if they start Kojimaing these faggots they won't ever get another job again.
>>737707338>in some cases probably deliberately out of spiteYeah, this one is what gets me. They've shown their hand once. I don't trust these people.
>>737716276Well, if anything, it's become clear that a fan translation is going to materialize at this point sooner or later. The groundwork is already laid and multiple people are working on it.
>>737707610I think that tick is why she does the skippidi zoomer speak bullshit. I bet they thought they were really clever.
>Open game for the first time>Yunyun walks in from outside of the windowMy kind of gameI bet the localizers didn't even know what that's supposed to be kek
>>737716801Probably not
>>737716801The game itself is incredibly charming. The English localization needs to be nuked off the face of the goddamn planet.
>>737708507>Pay me to inject my jewish tranny propaganda into your game
>>737704145Someone should make a steam curator that flags every game that has dragonbaby involvement
>>737717403>I've seen my fair share of dumpster fires, and I can help your project avoid joining them!The sheer fucking audacity of this statement is gag inducing.
>>737703794If you wave around $1000 in cash in a bad area, you're a retard, but the nigger who mugs you is still a subhuman.Learn Japanese but don't relent against shitty localizers who refuse to do their job.
The funniest thing is seeing all the teams from other countries translate the game correctly, but then it gets to the US, and it’s a mess full of epic memes and political/social activism.Americans need to get their act together.
>>737717531It's a protection racket.
>conspiracy only available through adding launch optionswhen i thought i have found everything
>>737709350It makes sense to try to make them fix it first, hopefully at no extra charge. Who knows if they have the money to just dump them and grab someone else. Their contract might be cooked with bullshit as well.
>>737717669Sad thing is it's the primary langauge of the promo materials and even the fucking title and achievements are butchered.Also the primary representative for ESLs who don't know the other supported languages like Nordic Euros.
finally done with the horrific endgame grind
It's funny that everyone is focusing on the botched english translation, while ignoring the game itself is trash.
>>737718896The game is flawed but I like it.
>>737718896I mean, 95% of the discussios since release has been about trannies, it will probably still take around 50% after the fix.Gameplaywise the most common topic you see is about how fucking souless the grind is, especially if you don't have the DLCs.
>>737718896The translation is just that astonishingly terrible. Amongst the worst of all time, even.https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dvt9FX8O2nmE3csef3oJbSLXwOl8k-VD63yyB_YfB64/edit?gid=0#gid=0
>>737702969the dev did this on purpose, he's going back to the same people that did it in the first place
>>737719208Maybe Alliance Arts has some kind of contractual obligation
>>737718896I like the mechanics so far, I'll have to get past the initial learning curve to say anything substantial about the gameplay.Btw, Symphonic Rain is a great rhythm game, heavily recommended.
>>737706579Autism and going to the extreme with opposing the mainstream religion and society.
>>737718896It's just 4k with some sad backstory, it was nothing special from the very start, people just wanted to enjoy the aesthetics.
>>737719407>I-I didn't care about the game in the first place!We know, vampire. We know.
>>737718896The game is pressing buttons to denpa music and it's fine at being that.
>>737703527You know, if that's how it originally is in Japanistan then that's fine. It's a stupid reference but at least it's not the translators pulling one out of their ass which is the whole problem.
>>737719710I suspect the source language of that is probably English and not Japanese and it came from the shitpost contest submissions.

>>737720392These guys are gonna have to get the fuck out of Osaka before some denpa kyoanis them at this rate.
>>737704047that's just retarded and wrong
>>737720392>Fascism, magical girls, robots, uterine removal>... it sounds like a terrible translation, why?>Is that localization partner okay?Kek, even Japs are catching on
>>737720392This is really interesting—thanks. I'm using Deepl to go through it in more detail. That even the Japs agree is refreshing.
>>737720768It's less "even" the Japs agree and more anyone sane can see the situation for what it is. The people that defend this shit are delusional.
>>737719000checked
>>737720929I'm used to Chinese users being really hostile toward Western gamers, so much so that I half-expected the attitudes to be along the lines of, "stupid westerners can't do anything right LOL wwwwww they deserve it" etc.
>>737721019I was half-expecting Japs to be hostile after the whole twitter piracy debate, but good on them.As a side note, why do leftists keep fucking with my bread and circus? Was Gamergate not enough for them? I just want to play vidya.
>>737721226That's exactly why they keep doing it. They don't want you to be able to just play vidya.Actually, maybe they fucked with this game precisely because Q-chan is literally the average depressive NEET anon that just wants to be left alone.
>>737706665troonslation<MTL<AI
>>737721396They're just retarded. I bet if you look through it's super inconsistent. There would be opportunities to inject politics that would be missed, or there are errors that downplay a potential political element. There are so many missed references and japanese errors that it's clear they don't understand what they're translating and are just throwing shit at the wall.
>>737721801That too, obviously. They made N5-tier mistakes all over the place when they did try to actually translate.
>>737704272i have safe rhythm game fatigue.
I have yunyun denpa syndrome.
>>737722105I have anti trans fatigue
>>737717669But if you dare voice your opinion about it, you're a grifting culture warrior chud.
>>737722105You have yunyun syndrome!? rhythm psychosis.
>>737703358Oh, nice to see someone else working on a language patch. I tried to import this translation to my translation mod, but I think there is a quite serious problem with it. This patcher uses 64-bit ids to identify strings in StringTables, but these ids were transformed via float64 at some point and lost precision. Due to that ids of strings are mismatched and loading the json from current master will result in random wrong texts beings replaced. Eg: https://github.com/Radish-sys/yunyun-syndrome-patch/blob/main/strings.json#L1045-L1093Do you still have the original data to restore proper ids? I also suggest using keys from shared string tables (eg: Event/MiniTalk/YUNYUN_005_Main_000_057_1) instead as they are likely to be stable across game versions.If you fix that I'd like to include your translation to the list of supported translations in my mod readme if you don't mind.Also, /v/. Let me shill translation mod that I made for /jp/ thread: https://github.com/funmaker/YunyunLocalePatcherIt actually functions like a mod(Melonloader) and does the patching in runtime from csv files. It doesn't modify game files and allows you to change translation patches without having to restore original game files. By default it comes with translation done via Google Translate so it might be worse than Radish's translation, but it doesn't have the issue I mentioned above(it might have other issues). It also only patches StringTables and not the "language lines" that his solution does, so some things might be missing. Idk what that is, I will look into that tomorrow or something.It also comes with google sheets in case someone wanted to make their own translations.You can read more at: >>>/jp/50890556
>>737722197Why are you asking a question in a medical diagnosis? Shit translation.
>>737722236I knew that guy's mod was AI code but I didn't read it carefully enough to realize it was doing something retarded like converting uint64_ts to floats.Thanks anon.
Why or how are Qs tits so fucking big?
>>737722236That translation patch comes from a user on the Steam forums and doesn't originate from herehttps://steamcommunity.com/app/2914150/discussions/0/805723742332272492/
It's time we stop blaming only X-baby californian gay companies and start holding japanese devs accountable too
>>737722334This is not something I noticed in his code. It happened somewhere when he was generating that data, maybe AI did this on its own if he used an agentic assistant in the background. I only realized that when I tried to match his string ids to my translation keys and realized the ids are repeating all the time. This really has to be addressed.And don't take me wrong, parts of my code were AI generated as well. I haven't touched Unity in 10 years and never before made a mod. But I also have literally 0 trusts in clankers so I double checked every single line and function call it emitted. Csv class I had to write from scratch myself because it just couldn't get it right in the way I like at all.>>737722553Oh thanks. I will contact him on discord.
>>737703179>>737704136There is a list of hotfixed emergency patched translation's before and afters.
>>737722334Also the uint64_ts to floats conversion is just an educated guess. All the ints seem to be below 64-bit, but only have 53-bit of precision. Float64 has 53-bit mantissa, so that's probably it.
>>737722670>Oh thanks. I will contact him on discord.Ganbatte anon
>>737722640Not falling for your gay niggery, lolcowlizer. Like journos with CupHead's tutorial exposing their illiteracy there's no escape from this.

Why do modern depictions of 2000s internet culture feel so fraudulent?
>>737725494Why do you keep making retarded posts hoping to stir shit up fraudulently?
>>737725535I don't, it's true
>>737725494All memories of 2000s internet culture are fraudulent because all collective memories before 2014 are fictional and were generated with outdated firmware on the current version of what you might call RealityOS, so people tend to have wildly varying recollections on what it was like.
>anons actually working on a fan translationI'd be hilarious if someone makes a fully rewritten script before the devs supposedly do so.I'm still planning on playing in spanish

My mod does not support graphical assets yet(it defaults to original en translation), but I'm going to save this for future update.>>737726023>>google translate>Why not at least use gemini, yikes.Because Google Translate is as easy as adding one column in Google Sheets.But the PRs are open. Why won't you use gemini and contribute?
Thank (actually not) god I know Spanish
>>737726117>Why won't you use gemini and contribute?Im perfectly happy reading the pl tl. Weird google didnt integrate gemini into the spreadsheets in that case.But I think its still a very easy process - you can copy paste and it auto fills the column
>>737725923>>737725985did they rewrite the testimonials too?>wacky timelines
>>737726445The old version of the site's testimonials is entirely jerking off Blaustein in a dry manner.https://web.archive.org/web/20260103014130/https://dragonbaby.com/
Imagine only knowing english
>>737726023I got filtered by the game during the first route. Does it get better as it goes? I wanted it to be a bit more horror focused, I guess. I got chills from the opening video, but nothing up to where I played felt like it lived up to that.
>>737726598>scrubbed away the circlejerk of the jewkek
>>737726885Only horror I can think of were the well scenes. Its not particularly good. Pretty bad in fact, lost nothing besides Yoshiki
>>737575592>With 50% YUNYUN you can drag Yunyun onto Q and a 15-minute radio will start that will give you conspiracies after every song.whats the point of it being a radio where i cant play the game?
>>737728565Farming conspiracies. You don't have to do it but it's nice if you wanna take a 15 minute break and still listen to the game's music.Also someone here said you can exit out and still get all the conspiracy unlocks.
>>737702969Why do the english have such a rampant case of the Fucking-Arounds?
>>737728723i really dont think many of the english translations are bad. Its just funny its not that serious its just a silly game
>>737728880vampire begone*throws garlic and crosses*
>>737728880You can think it's unserious. I won't. When I read shit from a language I don't know, it'd be great if I can read with full faith that what I read is at least similar to what they read. How can you enjoy a story if you cannot be assured that's really the story the author wants to convey and not the faggot middleman?
>>737729250You should use AI then. Most translations are fucking trash sadly.
4D ending was hilarious
>>737729365You really are just going down a list of talking points in order, huh?What's your salary at Dragonbaby, anon?
>>737729365Damn shame it has to come to that. Translation is extremely predicated on trust, and for some 20-30 years that trust has been violated to the moon and back. How did corpos hire such evil people, even by accident?
I really want that Yunyun daki.
>>737729973I'll skip the talking point of asking if you're retarded straight to calling you retarded.
I TURNED MY TRANSLATION IN TO A PICKLE, RICK!
>>737719127Yeah they're fixing it out of spite. Don't bother people.
Even the settings menu is wrong, apparently.
>>737722740These people need to be fired. This is sabotage.
i think the english translation is indeed trash but how come it brought in so many tourists? are twitterfags really retarded enough to pay just to bitch and moan over a game they weren't gonna give a chance in the first place? a lot of the negative reviews didn't even make it past an hour.
>>737731546>open game>first thing you're greeted with is a screamer>after that it installs a cryptominerWTF why didn't you play the game more before leaving a negative review? Fucking tourist!
>>737731546I've been deliberately playing the game in offline mode so that if the worst case scenario of no fix, no fan translation came to pass I could refund it in punishment before the two week window. The second I let Steam connect to the internet it's going to become 14 hours.
>>737731731how are you going to refund without internet?
>>737731827By using a different device that doesn't have that playtime logged.
>>737731731i don't think you can leave a review in offline mode anonchama
>>737731878Anon, I played it for an hour, revirwed, put steam into offline mode and THEN continued playing.
I'm impressed with how much attention this is getting. Reported in Gamespark, all over various subreddits, Youtube, multiple threads hitting autosage within hours. Kinda nervously excited about the industry impact. Fingers fucking crossed that nothing bad happens.
>>737732045>Kinda nervously excited about the industry impactnothing will happennothing ever happens
>>737732127One videogame caused GG and the ensuing political climate of the past decade.

why dont they just hire brits to translate instead of americans? these schizo troons are all americans
>>737731546>a lot of the negative reviews didn't even make it past an hour.They probably have spent hours in demo already and are pissed developers have been ignoring the criticism until release. And the pressure worked because with all the negative reviews the developer finally listened to the players.

If the original english translation was normal none of you would have ever heard about this game. Brilliant marketing campaign to drum up controversy then fix it.
>>737734276>straight into a mirai nikki refwhoa!

>>737734328Giving them way too much credit. Considering how common it is to butcher Japanese games like this they are probably surprised it's blowing up like this. This is just standard procedure to them.
>>737735050He's been making that post over and over repeatedly, don't feed the vampire.
>otaku who browse a site with a board dedicated to otaku culture would not know about a game dedicated to a section of otaku culture without drama about said gameDoesn't add up, chief.
>>737734996No problem. Well-optimized gifs tend to be lighter than video files, but gifs can easily bloat up in size if the person making it isn't careful, same goes for webm videos, which is likely why mp4 is really common. A recording of a few seconds of a game, even if native resolution is low, requires good optimization with gifs and webms if you don't want to compress them too heavily, but it's worth it.
>>737735232good point. I do have quite a few .webm's, but not many compared to other formats. Again, I appreciate the .gif.
