After publishing this article, I've heard from many that CR seems to be using AI to produce dub CCs. Now, thanks to a slip-up CR had with episode 6 dub of The Banished Court Magician, we can say that with 100% certainty: Crunchyroll is using the AI service Ollang.com for its dub closed captions!

Avoid the new Vine like a plague, they just want a pure dataset to scrape.

I don't often lego-post but this astounding hand-cranked mechanism in not-dracula's-castle has to be seen

ran out of woobles licensed crochet kits,
but I found a legally-distinct "dark tower" pattern on etsy

it felt a little bare-bones, so I freestyled a bunch of extra adornments using my whopping ~2-weeks'-worth of crochet comprehension. It's fun! Quite mathy! Kind of like coding!

MP1: no npcs who talk to you
MP2: one (living) npc who talks to you
MP3: at least five npcs who talk to you (<-Halo envy, here)

MP4: some Whedon-Marvel Jack Quaid-ish anthropomorphized-yellow-paint quipper
(the pinnacle [derogatory] of npcs who talk to you)

the roadmap was always there 🤷‍♂️

re: entitled men can't email:

For work I usually correspond with in-the-trenches women who can write, but for one project, a high-level manager-type man was on the chain, and istg this dude wrote in incoherent misspelled sentence frags w/o capitalization, punctuation, etc.
Kinda revolting!

about to translate famiresu as fast casual dining and nobody can stop me

*actually a bad loc, b/c famiresu in Japan are cheap as sin, cheaper even than US fast food, thereby giving the wrong impression to western readers

**but indexing against JPN incomes makes it an apt comparison, so it's fine

came across an unholy triple negative! ...okay, maybe 2.5.
three ないs anyway

倒せそうもないって気はしないんじゃないか?
>We ain't ready to call this thing 'invincible,' right?

(transposing the negative verb phrase (we cannot beat) into a neutral adjective (invincible) is a handy trick. preferable even to "unbeatable")

If you have it please donate cash to the food banks. $10 in their hands will feed more people than the $10 worth of canned goods you can buy for retail prices. Also check on your elders. Many of them will not admit they rely on these programs so grocery gift cards or a surprise bag of staples

got to this part in The Bugle Call and yeah the Looking Glass Branched is basically two soulsborne bosses in one

the mirrors-as-portable-portals-from-Portal creativity only gets wilder in volume 4
