he do BE like THAT
>>585644815ye thats the actual error here aswell as inventing a period in the 2nd line when it should have none, then third would be "and only here" or smth. It was too rigid in treating each line as its own sentence which impacted quite a few lines from what I've been seeing
She awakened something in many.

>>585647081>Ok, I gave a small concession here, I do indeed admit when I'm wrong in these extremely rare cases, heh I'm so based, now time to go back to always being right and being a huge piece of shit
>>585647383Seeing that post reminded me I saw someone else(or the same guy) point out an error properly the other day too when flood was rambling about something and im pretty sure I did agree there aswell.All it takes is being right to be right.

>>585647834imouto ninja meido
wtf is this retarded shit, why is she desecrating Lise even after her death when she hasn't even heard anything she said
>>585645619Is this the power of mtl?
Ye ok but writer-kun did you forget the person doing this can't be completely in the right calling out people being completely in the wrong for it to work?
all it takes is learning how to use triple dots to connect clauses
>>585647970What would /vn/ do in this situation?
>>585648162The power of cherry-picking niger, maybe.
>>585648269Why would I be kissing a boy?
>>585645619that pic is a HEAVY blow for MTLgods.... we lost months of progress of making AI look good and now THIS????
It'd make sense if Katia was trying to make him accept it by lying to him about Lise's motivation, but I ain't sure that's a thing Katia would do and in the first place she heard none of it so she shouldn't know what was being said - no one told her afterall...
>>585648319It's not cherry picking when there are hundreds of examples of the same thing>>585648393The damage one shitter can do is remarkable
>>585648319don't make me make the compilation of ", so."
>>585648269
>>585648354You tell me.
>>585648519Perfectly acceptable in Scottish English, but.
what retarded twisted logic
>>585640754I prefer the anime ver too where Theodor just shoots Lise after downing her mech, instead of this song & dance with the rebels. But this is unironically a valid crashout from Lise lol
>>585648465If all the examples are from one vn and patch is nothing but cherry-picking. MTL still triumphed over trannylators.
>>585648672Oh, yeah, true. Ai Sir is the mother of all cherries
>>585645619best OP since k@g3@k1f1$h
>>585648532We love used goods here
>>585648642How is it? Is it worth reading?
>>585649040NTA but I read it. Schwarzesmarken doesn't reach the same highs as Alternative but it also doesn't approach its lowest lows either. It's not quite as good as Alternative but Schwarzesmarken is consistently good.
>>585648652iirc she was full of shrapnel after the shield explosion so he just finished her off in the anime, was such a beautiful scene and to think we got this crap instead... At least the anime director was based for changing it
>>585648859
>>585649040it's definitely better than shitnertative
>>585649420>>585648652Sidenote it also doesn't make sense for Lise to have lied during her crashout there, since if that wasn't her real opinion then what was? She would've just joined them if this wasn't what she believed, really fucking bizzare writing.
>>585649931Bro, did you read? Lise was painting herself as the villain to take the blame/suspicion away from Theodor.
>>585649412>>585649689Well then I'll read it.
>>585650097
Good quarter past midnight /vn/ hope alls well

>you've 2 hours to learn how to pilot a tsf you've never pilotedSo he's gonna crash and kill himself before even reaching combat?Cool, cool...>>585650070No. Killing her already cleans him of suspicion and she already was the villain. The game framed it as her giving them a hint what they're being seen as from another pov and to make it easier for him to kill her.The issues are that>its told to him by Katia who hasn't heard anything she said (and she also has a reason to lie to him to get him on his feet)>Lise was completely in the right, they were using Theodor and doing the exact same thing Stasi did, never ever actually trusting anyone, they also did nothing at all to improve the country all these years and tried to use even this uprising to secure their demands. Stasi also DID help the country run all these years and even secured a future for them through the Stasi files - if not for their hold on the populace the hotpot of migrants and everything going to shit would have long caused the country to implode>if she was lying about all of it then she had no reason to stay with the Stasi in the first place and she would've helped the 666th
>>585650629Flat is kewler in my opinion>>585650770Its actually like 20 past 1 AM if it wasnt for daylight savings time or whatever tf
>>585650815>Kugayama Shion's Death DiaryAnons warned /vn/ when it came out
>>585650902Women lie as naturally as they breathe lol
>>585651012I made the same mistake when I picked up Newton & The Apple Tree when some dude posted Lavi's funny music video. Same writer, and it has almost the same issue where girls besides the titular one really get snubbed as everyone else is just a side character.
>>585651012After Harmonic Reflections & Death Diary I've given up on Laplacian. Ono Wasabi is a one hit wonder. He's trying to milk Aojashin by making LNs.
>>585650902Also Katia lying to him to get him to forgive himself would actually save the writing somewhat - even if the writer didn't plan for it its the only thing that makes sense, which I think might be quite a new low.>>585649040first part kino 2nd is lower than lowest part of alternative
So basically they're fighting outnumbered 3:1 or so, against machines 2 models ahead and against elite pilots trained specifically for fighting other humans. Cool.

>>585652215Hey, it's the ribbon Theodor knit for Lise. You can't even tell the difference between Lise's old pair & the one Theodor gifted her. wtf was this scene even for? They literally removed it in the anime & nothing changed lol
And friendship copium can?They're taking action so late that they're basically finishing off the nation here anyway
>>585652497Are u sure, it might be her old one...Also yeah her ribbon never changes so I completely forgot this happened. Pointless scene

So uh...Sony has started taking down PC Recomps. A bit worried about the future of Kisaragi-SWORD now.I'll continue developing it while watching the news.

>>585653505That's literally Titanic though. On her deathbed, inside of thinking about her children or husband, Rose is thinking about some hobo she fucked 50+ years ago.
>>585653730>>>/v/750354739yup. Sony's going after recomps already.The only issues that come up in the recomp atm is some flickering issues. I've fixed most of them.or..are you calling me an "it"?

i'm going to panic release a test build of Kisaragi-SWORD just in case they go after ChatGPT Recomps. The game is perfectly playable. The only artifacts i found in the game were the dungeon floor tiles would flicker when FPS is 45+. I fixed all of them for the first dungeon, but i didn't progress to the second dungeon or higher yet, so there might be flickering at those dungeons. setting FPS to 30 eliminates the problem entirely, but the flickering isn't that bad, so if you do encounter it in the second dungeon or higher, you have options.>Why do i have to panic release?Apparantly Recomps on Claude just got hit hard by an October 21st update to nerf it's reverse engineering capabilitiy. If they go after ChatGPT next, they might block my request to release a public launcher for the game, so I have to release a launcher now just in case that happens.

Now that they reveal all this its pretty dumb the general started the coup if theres 0% chance of reunification, surely its not just Axmann who knew this, all these army higher ups had to be aware about basic politics
holy oppai
Genuinely who gives a shit about Muv Luv in 2026, even Steins;Gate is more relevant.
Thinking about Sylwia - iirc in the anime she died way earlier just getting shot in the base or something? A better death than here to be sure>another vague comment on Beatrix's past with Irisdina that sounds like "read extra material wink wink"ugh
>>585655480Only FGO because it's just F/SN but 10x longer
>>585665546slopguzzlers
>>585665546S;G as a series never produced anything good, so...
Finally can start with this oneWIP
>>585655480Fate/Grand Order isn't just good—it's fantastic.
>>585665708better than anything age ever made lol
>>585665754it's fantastic, but.
>>585665546How is it more relevant, because of the zero effort reboot designed to milk whatever's left of the series?
>>585665850It mogs your favorite VN, so.
>>585665883>zero effortdishonest faggot
Taking Irisdina's comment about her taking her brother away from Beatrix it'd have to be the classic "I don't care what happens anymore" situation for her to end up like that,I guess? Thought its a bit ehh as a whole since in that case she'd want revenge against the Stasi
>>585665914If Mages' modern SG output like the reboots and S;G 0 are "effort" then I dread to know what it's like to see them phoning it in.
So how long are the other routes? Like a few mins of reading or actually a decent split?>>585666146oh, the tag didnt apply. w/e its no biggie.
Based
>>585666448like 3 or 4 hours each
>>585665774I prefer Muv Luv quite a lot over S;G actually.

I swear Kyonyuu Fantasy is the only VN series to take its story completely seriously and have 4P (and larger) scenes actually in the main narrative. All the other ones have that kind of thing detached or are just regular nukige and nothing else.

How is the characterization in Schwarzesmarken vs. Muv Luv? I feel like we didn't really get to see the characterization of the girls too much past Extra, Takeru was so in his own damn head and there was so much to learn about in the future, plus Alternative just dropped all of them completely. Really feels like they leaned too heavily on the idea that Extra's time with them was enough.

>>585674035Well, we really don't spend much time with any of them besides Kasumi and Sumika. I suppose the idea is that we spent time with them in Unlimited, but I don't know, there's just not a lot of breathing room with them. I know Extra was around for that, but they had to keep so much under wraps in that game that it all felt weirdly stiff there, too.

gambs deceiving and astroturfing on his own subreddit againhttps://www.reddit.com/r/visualnovels/comments/1xfn913/why_the_hate_on_mao_translations/why do ppl even go there? even on reddit there's /r/vns as the better subreddit alternative
>>585679689MUMBAImasa
Wasn't /r/vns created by fuwanovel folks who sure were at odds with gambs like every sane person but who also have that fuwa pirate background hence not the kind of commercial industry support /r/visualnovels was aiming for?
It makes me sad that I have to cuck my number one main heroine when I play her friend's routes.
Idk about gambs being on good terms with JVN makers when he's universally hated and banned as a toxic person everywhere (eg vndb).True to the schizoid traits of the community, his end game seems to be a strategy of simultaneously advertising MTL and devalueing it. None of his mtlations have been picked up by industry though so whatever his goal it doesn't seem to be working except for OpenAI.
Oh no, i took too long and someone made sasasagu English patchhttps://vndb.org/v23077damn like two or three weeks worth of quota down the drain.I should have worked on it instead of the other ones i was working on... they could have waited too, this was the only one that was in danger of being done by someone else.I guess it's possible that it's worse
Well if his goal was to further monopolize discussion about VNs on his subreddit by derailing it everywhere else, /vn/ sure was an easy target.

Stripping the original from its identity, replacing units to american, removing honorifics, switching name order, removing Japanese customs, swapping it with american ones.Seriously you need to be ultra retarded to defend a trash like this.It's like choosing between syphilis (localizers) and cholera (MAO).Pure xenophobia.

They are also using names instead surnames too., Also replacing -kun with Mr. and nickname with full name lmao.
>>585695778>No they are not, you must be retarded if you're okay with removing literal information, tropes etc.what information does the word order remove? and the one in honorifcs is preserved if it's translated properly, like in your pici agree about changing metric units tho, fuck amerimutts. guess maolations will need an addition qc pass by euroGODs before they become readable...

>>585695151And Japanese characters aren't English either. What's your point?Honorifics aren't just random Japanese words you can strip out without losing anything. They convey relationships, familiarity, respect, social hierarchy, and sometimes even character development. The difference between calling someone by their surname, using -san, -chan, -kun, or dropping the honorific entirely can be pretty damn important. English doesn't have direct equivalents for most of that.And Japanese names don't magically become Western names just because the dialogue is translated into English. Since when does translating a language require rearranging people's names to fit American conventions?You seem to think translation means making everything as familiar as possible to an English-speaking audience, even when that means erasing details from the original. That's exactly the localization mentality I'm criticizing. The goal should be to make Japanese media understandable in English, not pretend it was written by Americans for Americans.

>>585697072>uhm no? google what a "proper noun" isdoesnt matter, it's not english, it's japanese and all traces of Japanese must be erased from the script because... because...
>>585697291you haven't googled what a "proper noun" is, otherwise you wouldn't have written such a dumb ahh post...
>>585697072By Japanese characters I meant the actual people in the story, not fucking kanji. Jesus Christ.You literally admit that English has no direct equivalents for Japanese honorifics, then somehow conclude that removing them is the correct solution. Are you genuinely this dense? That's precisely WHY keeping them makes sense. You're preserving information that otherwise gets lost or distorted. Replacing -kun with "Mr." or "Miss" isn't translating it properly. Those words carry different meanings and social implications. And no, English doesn't have some magical rule requiring Japanese names to be rearranged. Japanese people don't suddenly adopt Western naming conventions because someone writes about them in English. The original name order is part of how names are used in that culture. Changing it doesn't improve comprehension. It just makes the text more Western for absolutely no reason.Your entire argument boils down to "it's not English, therefore it shouldn't appear in an English translation." By that logic, half the Japanese cultural vocabulary commonly used in English would have to disappear too. The funniest part is you linking a fucking dictionary definition of "sushi" without realizing you're proving my point. English borrows foreign words all the time. And yes, some things inevitably get lost in translation. That's not an excuse to deliberately throw away information you could easily preserve.And spare me the "just learn Japanese" bullshit. People read translations because they want access to works written in another language. That doesn't mean they want those works stripped of their cultural identity. You can write perfectly natural English while preserving Japanese names, honorifics, customs, and cultural references. The fact that you apparently can't imagine doing that says more about your understanding of translation than anything else.

>>585697352>A proper noun is a specific name for a particular person, place, organization, or thing, and it is always capitalized in English according to the Grammarly Guide to Proper Nouns.Okay now that that irrelevancy is out of the way, back to the topic of how Sakura is a Japanese word, proper noun or not. And according to the rules that all japanese must be scrubbed from a script and ONLY English must remain, it would therefore have to be translated into its English counterpart. Or according to you, just make something up entirely if there is no English counterpart. Because there can be no Japanese in the English translation... because.... because....

>>585698245You keep repeating "honorifics aren't English" as if that settles anything. Nobody claimed they were. The question is whether removing them makes a translation less faithful. You admit English has no direct equivalents, yet somehow conclude that throwing away information is the correct solution. Brilliant. And no, retaining -san or -chan doesn't magically make an English sentence improper. English can incorporate foreign terms without ceasing to be English. That's how language works. Your keikaku comparison is idiotic. "Plan" already conveys its meaning. Now show me an English word that conveys everything implied by -chan or -kun, including how their use reflects relationships between characters. You can't, and that's precisely the point. Context doesn't always compensate either. A character suddenly dropping an honorific can signal a major shift in their relationship. Remove honorifics throughout the script and that distinction disappears unless you rewrite something else to compensate.As for names, Japanese surname-first order is perfectly understandable in English. There's no grammatical rule requiring Japanese names to be rearranged. You're confusing Western conventions with English grammar.And your Cambridge Dictionary obsession is hilarious. Dictionaries document vocabulary usage. They don't determine which cultural concepts are allowed in translated literature. Nobody is asking to replace random English words with Japanese ones. We're asking translators not to deliberately discard cultural information when there's no need to. The fact that you can't distinguish those things is telling. And "just learn Japanese" isn't an argument. By that logic, nobody could ever criticize a translation because they should simply read the original instead.Also, the Reddit spacing on /vg/ while lecturing people about Japanese VNs is a nice touch. You're really not beating the tourist allegations.

>>585698568If you haven't lived in Japan then you most likely don't even understand the nuances of honorifics. Removing them is the correct choice since they're just fluff to most readers.Do you get this upset at kanji puns or keigo being removed/changed?
Senior > Senpai
>>585698819This is tourist mentality taken to an entirely new level.Back in the day, people could watch two or three anime series and already have a decent grasp of when -san, -kun, -chan, onii-chan or -sama were used. They didn't need to live in Japan or have a degree in Japanese linguistics to understand the cultural basics and appreciate the additional information those honorifics conveyed.Now apparently we need to strip Japanese media of its own conventions because tourists can't be bothered to learn even the most elementary aspects of the culture they're supposedly interested in. And your comparison with kanji puns and keigo is ridiculous. A kanji pun might be genuinely impossible to reproduce directly in English. Keigo often requires careful changes in wording and register. Honorifics, meanwhile, can simply be retained without making the surrounding English unnatural. Why deliberately discard information that's so easy to preserve?Besides, you don't need to understand every subtle nuance to benefit from something. Readers can gradually pick up those distinctions through exposure, exactly as fans have done for decades. Removing them guarantees they'll never get that opportunity. The entire idea that anything unfamiliar to an English-speaking reader must be removed is precisely the localization mentality we're criticizing.You're not making Japanese media more accessible - you're treating its audience like children who might get confused if they encounter something Japanese in a Japanese story.
>>585698397>>585698448Imagine holding an argument and your opponent keeps sending screenshots of grok chatlogs. We're currently experiencing the birth of a generation that can neither think for itself nor express itself argumentatively.
Japanese setting = keep honorificsWestern setting = remove honorificsContext is key.
>>585698397you said it was used as a name in your first post... what's the point of this? holy shit you are dumb>>585698448>no prompt, no temporary chattry again>>585698568nice grok post, i accept your concession. but hey, keep crying about english language, i ain't gonna stop you
just ask astra to restore honorifics, holy shit y'all so fucking dumb
>>585699056not him but the level of japanese achieved from just being in japan alone for a bit is insane. you stagnate eventually with reading and input and only speaking and getting active neurological feedback takes you to the next level... in other words actually knowing japanese...
>>585699161And you're ignoring that the vast majority of Japanese fantasy settings are built around Japanese cultural norms, social dynamics, and conventions, even when the world itself looks Western.Trails of Cold Steel is a perfect example. Erebonia is clearly inspired by Europe, yet the characters' relationships, school life, social hierarchy, honorifics, and everyday interactions are overwhelmingly Japanese. The setting looks Western, but the underlying social conventions are Japanese.So yes, context absolutely matters. Medieval European architecture doesn't magically turn Japanese social dynamics into Western ones.Unless a setting is explicitly modeled on a particular Western culture, including its social conventions, there's no reason to discard Japanese ones just because the characters aren't living in Japan.

>>585699491what happened with that guy did he release anything or was it a psyop meltdown
The only people who care about honorifics are N5s and ironic weebs.
>>585699491You will have to wait a long time lil bro
>>585699442Sure.-san is the general polite default. It conveys respect or social distance without necessarily implying hierarchy. You can use it for strangers, classmates, colleagues, or people younger than yourself. Switching from surname-san to given-name-san, or dropping it entirely, can signal a change in the relationship.-kun is more context-dependent. It's commonly used for boys and younger men, but also by teachers toward students, superiors toward subordinates, and sometimes for women in professional settings. Between peers it can suggest familiarity, while from a superior it can reinforce hierarchy. A girl calling a boy -kun isn't necessarily conveying the same relationship as a teacher calling him -kun.And that's the point. It's not simply "formal vs. casual." Who uses which honorific, toward whom, and when they change it can tell you something about their relationship without a single extra line of dialogue.Remove all of that and you lose distinctions that English doesn't always convey naturally.None of this requires living in Japan. These are basic conventions that anime and VN fans have understood for decades just by paying attention.The funniest part is that you asked me to explain the nuances while arguing that they're meaningless fluff. Apparently they're important enough to test someone's knowledge of, but not important enough to preserve in a translation.
>>585699592Lol
>>585699758ask grok to teach you japanese next
>>585699635>and ironic weebs.literally the opposite lmaoIronic weebs and other subhuman garbage are the ones that are demanding removing them and other cultural things
>>585699859lol
>>585699635Reading like 2 vns already teaches you the basic meaning of most honorifics intuitively via context. Even as someone who knows almost no Japanese I feel like something is missing when they aren't translated. It gets more silly when you can hear them in the spoken dialogue and actively notice their absence in the translation.
>>585700076Schizophrenia
>>585700123Mao, go away already. No one is agreeing with you cringe.
>>585700076>you can hear them in spoken dialogueso no information is lost, while english language isn't trannified? sounds good to me
>>585699859Patently false. Ironics are the ones calling each other senpai and [name]-chan/san/kun.
>>585700270>isn't trannifiedAbsolute brain damage. And ironic, considering the fact that trannies are the ones who are vandalizing everything, removing honorifics and inserting le funny memes. It was always like this.

How do I allow MTL patches when searching for English releases on VNDB? I’d rather not wait for MTLWiki to update since there’s stuff that came out like Itsusora and Sasasagu. who knows if there’s stuff that’s missing in the wiki somehow too
