Also for a fun non-game example the English translation of Don Quixote that's on Project Gutenberg is from the 1800s and starts with a translator's note talking about the original English translation

Error 52 @error52.bsky.social · 21h

Ace Attorney Investigations 2 and Cave Story. The latter especially got a lot of heated arguments in spite of the fact the fan translation and the official one are not actually that different

I'm not opposed to AI dubbing as a feature honestly but it's insane it's just the default

Error 52 @error52.bsky.social · 1d

Super Mario Bros. made the same mistake. "Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels" is the wonkiest subtitle of all time

they really pranked themselves into a corner by naming the game that way

TIL that one of the co-creators of Wizardry, Robert Woodhead, also co-founded AnimEigo. That's neat

The fuckin FEMA translation is so insane

Back in 2018 I wrote an article about "political references added to video game translations"

Then I did it again, a few weeks ago in 2025, so here is PART 2!

I think if cohost was actually ran by professionals they would've noticed that their main funding plan was impossible before they launched their website and not like a year in

Error 52 @error52.bsky.social · 2d

In what fucking dimension were the cohost people overly professional

Kayin @kayin.moe · 2d

We sometimes made fun of the cohost team for being overly professional about everything. Which isn't to say they were perfect at all, but that professional barrier was important... Cause like obviously the alternative is a bunch of people with far FAR more funding turning into total clowns in public

The problem is that most social media that doesn't have venture capital sucks ass presently

Aura/Moom @moomanibe.bsky.social · 2d

and it turns out - bsky is self-evident proof of this - that most people would rather just use the site run by venture capital, no matter how much anyone says "venture capital is gonna turn it to shit eventually"

I think people got used to being on post-Elon The Everything App for long enough that they forgot that it's pretty easy to get banned if you run your mouth too much

remembering when people were confidently saying that Biden would pardon Trump

Also can I be slightly controversial and say I think it's kinda weird people keep defending him by mentioning that he's black

Error 52 @error52.bsky.social · 2d

controversial opinion: don't make vague death threats to the CEO of the website you are on and be indignant when you're banned

like basically I think if "generic democrat" is doing well on the polls then Pete would be if you send in

Error 52 @error52.bsky.social · 2d

of the current crop of democrats I do think he has the least baggage compared to, say, AOC. which is not nothing. most of the people on the left who would refuse to vote for him would probably refuse to vote for anyone anyway

Error 52 @error52.bsky.social · 2d

Honestly I think the most you can say about Pete Buttigieg is that he comes off as kinda phony. But like idk I think he could win in 2029 and he'd probably be passable policy wise

Syz @syzygial.bsky.social · 3d

Donald Trump is invading blue states; this does not seem like a good time to write dystopian fanfiction about an imagined version of the Democratic Party.

Like, don't take this is an "all mutual aid posts are scams" thing, because I'm sure MOST such requests are 100% legit, but I've received like four different donation request DMs in the last week from people claiming their kids are "dying of autism", and I'm reasonably sure that's not how it works.

y'know the problem with "Error 52" as a screen name is that it's hard to think of halloween goofs for it

Error 52 @error52.bsky.social · 3d

personally I think all film is disgusting.

damn if you misunderstood the famously eloquent Donald Trump what hope is there

Error 52 @error52.bsky.social · 3d

No you don't understand he actually spouts conspiracy theories about how the government hides black crime to incite a race riot and goes on rants about how he should be able to kill any petty criminal he wants in a leftist way

Moreso than the other characters when Lisa is poorly written she can be extremely grating. Like poorly written Homer is at least going to do something wacky, Lisa is just an obnoxious scoldy author avatar at her worst
