AntiAIAlliance won.
>Game has a Muramasa reference
I actually am in full support of MAO and the MTL alliance. Not sure why you guys think I'd be jealous.
HOW did AntiAIAlliance manage to win the fristpsot?
>>582278567Where does it say anything about watching?
Andrew "stAIner" Hodgson
>>582278580Uh-oh the MTL alliance is cracking.
>>582278726zen-aku sousAI
Do you like VNs with a female MC?https://files.catbox.moe/xxx9qe.png
That's a lot of lmaos xd
>>582278932Only if it's yuri and all-ages.
>>582278932Only if it's otome and all-ages
Astra has spoken
When does she make this face?
>>582278580The AntiAIAlliance won by making the MTL alliance accept a name for themselves they didn't chose.
>>582278429If this mao guy is here, I want to ask how he afforded so many Astra tokens. Did you buy on API prices? You'd run out of usage for a big ass VN on sub. I'm trying to translate Shigatsu Youka rn with Opus 5.5 and it is chugging tokens hard (I had it make a big guide on translation on a first readthrough and now am doing a translation pass, it easily will take like 80M tokens for the translation pass) Anyone know how to get in touch with him?
veni vidi viciAntiAIAlliance came, saw, and wonned.
>>582278913I only know Sousou (which means demon slayer).
Post the white women ousama sex scene onegai
>>582279364I'M TRANSLATING HOLD ON I CAN POST THE CG THOUGH WHICH WHITE WOMAN
Nice, this >>582275850 has been fixed now as well
>>582279487Understood it to WHAT
>>582279250>weyeah him and the voices on /vn/ (all me)
What did this white woman mean by this?
>>582279637Is this Mahoyo?
fang (butt)
I will be conducting an Astra audit of all Quoflations for research purposes.
HFK
>>582279747Is this a zoomer heroine?
IDBLT
Chuunige wa doko
>>582279747ASa cooked again with their heroine designs, she's so fucking hot.
>>582280162Fate/Stay Night JUST got a proper translation for the first time.
>>582279637greetings from brazil
>>582279250Mao uses the 20x plan on Openai which he gets for free due to his job in machine learning or somethingPatience plays a big role I expect, like when you run out of plan tokens just chilling and waiting until next week rather than dumping money into doing it all at once.
>>58228047520x on claude is not enough for me to do a 100h VN in a week i think i could be wrong thoughBecause I do other projects at the same timeBut makes sense though thanks for the answer.
>>582280527Why the fuck are you translating 100 VNs in a week? Why not do way less and make sure they're actually good? What model are you even using to give you that kind of usage, Sonnet?
Chairman MAO should mtl Da Capo 5
>>582280657h = hourshope this helped
>>582280527Yeah that's why I say "patience" - when you run out of your first week wait for next week. I didn't translate my vinnie in one week. This is less relevant for claude, but OpenAI is also exploiting delayed variable reward training by giving resets at random intervals such that you often end up with 2 weeks worth of usage in the same individual week.That said, it's meta to have multiple paid plans. A programmer I know has multiple 20x OpenAI plans and offered to let me use one that he wasn't touching much. I expect one with real affluence would have like a general/work plan and a translation plan or some such. But if one is on a budget then just being patient is important. There's a reason why MAO isn't releasing a VN a day. >>582280657Bro? Your English? He said 100 hour long VN.
What do you think of group sex scenes in vinnies?https://files.catbox.moe/58wii3.png
>>582280818Why is there a Muramasa reference?
>>582280724Oh, oops. I'm too tired, my eyes saw "100th". That makes a lot more sense. 20x should definitely be enough to do a 100h VN, though.
The simulrelease is out!https://store.steampowered.com/app/4710010/
I'm really enjoying Oretsuba's prose. The protagonist is pretty unique and it's very well written, it can get wordy at times but that's a good thing. I see why everyone likes Oretsuba so much, although I'm still relatively at the beginning
>>582278429I unironically consider posting the funny faces from a new asapro game to be a spoiler because seeing the new funny faces is a big appeal of the VN.
>oretsuba's prose
>>582281036There's lots of really excellent ones in Ousama, they didn't disappoint.
AntiAIAlliance are such CHUDs.Faught back mtlbros AND won the thread.
>>582280818
Now that the dust has settled, the JOPs were wrong again about Triple Pairing. What a kamige.
>>582281036ALL the funny faces will be posted.
>>582280527Ya you're probably not gonna be able to do a 2.4m moji VN in a week if you're also doing other projects at the same time.
>>582280992Glad you're liking it bro. Oretsuba is a kamige
>>582280939moeanon shit on this pretty bad
>>582280939>Heroine resting on her own boobs stupid-styleWe WILL be playing.
AAAAAAHH I NEED IT NOW GIMME THE CUTE BOYS
>>582281037/vn/bros really just parrot other people's takes nonstop kek
Ahh... le jackson prose...
>>582281174It's okay when I post the funny faces but it's not okay when people do the same thing to me.
>>582281536
This place is gonna be filled with carteldrones larpers and it's gonna be hilarious
>>582281387
>>582281634HFK
>>582281580It's kind of funny how you posted this the exact moment I reached that CG in the game.
>>582281687No it isn't because nobody's going to actually read it and there will be more posts arguing about the effect it will have and arguments it will cause than posts by people who've actually read it and have anything to say about the VN. This is /vn/, nobody here is actually going to read a VN.
>>582281687have you considered that le meme cartel games might actually just be good games
>>582281634>Then reality peeled away from reality, instead giving rise to reality within reality; yet the divergence between the reality that had been uncovered and the reality that lay buried remained sprawled across reality, and in vain did reality seek a dialectical sublation there, for reality still stood alongside reality as nothing more than reality.Navelgazing KINOgraphy....
>>582281825It'll be funny watching our resident schizo anti-cartel anon having to deal with /vn/ worshipping the cartel again.
Has anyone read the new Suzakuinlike that released today?
>>582281891What the hell is this thing? She's so cute.
>>582282006cock
>>582281696>>582281780For those who don't know, I asked Astra and it explained that m9 is Japanese slang meaning someone who's a very close friend. You see, the slang m8 means 'mate', and 9 is one more than 8, so your m9 is someone who's even closer than your mate.
>>582280753yeah the random resets seems like pure otherworldly hell. i could never deal with that shit
>>582282142Mind blown
What's wrong with being uncircumcised.
>>582278429Hey MAOIf you see this and have extra capacity do you think you could get astra to check over my opus 5.5 translation of Shigatsu Youka when it's done? Or when I'm 1/30 done? I'm using Fable to orchestrate, and also I got a translation rulebook for the translation pass (there was a first pass that was just for collecting info), so maybe your Astra could review that too
>>582282314I'd like how to see how AI handles all the image stuff
Also MAO if you have tokens in excess you should mark the TL differences between yours and the previous translations with like, 5 stars, 4 stars etc, in terms of how big the translation difference is, so if people actually want to quickly see the biggest mistakes previous translators used they can go to it instantly rather than diving through slop
>>582282142https://dic.pixiv.net/a/m9(%5E%D0%94%5E)
>>582278536Using this tripcode for official AntiAIAlliance communication.Join us in our fight against turning /vn/ into MTL general.AntiAIAlliance banzAI!
This statue looks very dumb.
>>582281825So lessons in love is good?
>>582281634What the fuck is this vn even about. Every screenshot is the randomest shit imaginable
>>582282618yeah it's a kamige
>When you want to play the new Asa game but the free two days of GTA VI and pre-owned Chevy are too tempting
>>582281223>Oretsuba is a kamigeIt really seems like one>>582282470What kind of psychosis is this lmao
>>582282639>What the fuck is this vn even aboutIts a normal moege but mc is a literal schizo who really should be interned
>>582280527What vn are you translating?
SNOWMAAAAN
>>582282639>Guys, what if we made new york a character in the movie
>>582282782How is /vn/ so bad at readinghe said its name twice
>>582282882Garuda is LITERALLY me.Phoenix is also literally me.
>>582279250I have the $200 plan for work
Post good VN dialogue / well written prose.
Does anyone here know this VN?https://store.steampowered.com/app/3595800/ROAD59_A_Yakuzas_Last_Stand/It has like 2 positive english reviews and 20 negative chinese reviews, and I cant tell if this is a "This game said china is bad" situation or if its genuinely bad
>>582282314Contact me on GitHub>>582282402Good idea
You guys know that shigatsu youka has hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of images that need to be translated on top of the script, right? And they're all handwritten and nearly illegible and has text on top of text on top of text and you need to read all of it.
>>582280818Im not a midmasa reader so the only group scenes I like are one male(MC) and several females
>>582283047
>>582283073>I cant tell if this is a "This game said china is bad" situation or if its genuinely badyou can just translate the chinese reviews
