We got gen-AI dubs from Amazon and gen-AI subs from Crunchyroll, but if you torrent a fansub that real people worked to translate, code, and stylize, you're the piece of shit.

This thing took so much work, from so many people - RPGs have so many little working parts, and we did so much to try to make this world feel alive. The team is just vibrating right now, seeing how this all goes, but for now it's great to just have it out there, in people's hands.
Demonschool: Is OUT. It's out. Finally it is out. We hope you enjoy it.

Sigh. I made it to season 2 of Degrassi. My favorite character has already left. What's even the point anymore? Why do I have to feel so much?

Because SE's QA people are probably not in a position to defend themselves and their jobs in public, I want to spell out some of what it is they specifically do for us localizers, because nothing I've written here is rhetorical. SE QA acts as a final check on our work after translation and editing.
You don't need me to tell you this is yet more good money being burned after bad. But as someone who's worked with that QA team, I'll say they're unsung heroes who truly play a huge role in maintaining SE's reputation for high quality locs and to attempt to replace them with AI is deeply insulting.
Square Enix wants 70% of its QA work to be handled by generative AI by the end of 2027, in partnership with the University of Tokyo's Matsuo-Iwasawa Laboratory. https://bit.ly/4qKdyQR

"I’m grateful to have lived long enough to" play this game, but it's not very good --- this is an all-timer piece of criticism.
Pokemon Legends Z-A’s Lumiose City is too much of a flat wallpaper for me to enjoy. 2.5 stars.
In this review, I reflect on how Pokemon helped me through my cancer recovery, and how today, I hope it learns as I have, that survival is only the beginning.

Review | I’m 44, and ‘Pokémon Legends: Z-A’ makes me feel the walls closing in
“Pokémon Legends: Z-A” injects some energy into battles. But the series has never had a world this lifeless.

if you are in a professional or personal situation where you cannot fully divest yourself from something being rightly boycotted, you've got an easy out: shut the fuck up. no one asked. you're free. i'm not your priest.
Whenever talks about boycotts come up, especially surrounding entertainment, there are always the people who will show up to say they agree before giving this big exposition dump about why they specifically need to keep doing the thing or whatever and not to judge them for it.

I feel like you shouldn't be able to patent something that tons of people are already doing. Like, creature collecting is a whole genre, and Pokémon wasn't even the first to do it. Even then, tons of games have summoner type characters. I just don't get how you can patent a normal and common thing.
Nintendo has successfully acquired a US patent covering the ability to summon characters in a game and make them battle for you.
