I agree!It's super interesting to see which things which boards and which countries care about when it comes to video games.
In MGS3, Ocelot calls Eva a bitch and that has disappeared completely from the English translation. And I assume that happened because of the game's (Teen) rating.

Did you know that the word 'shit' can raise a game's rating with ESRB in a way that certain other curse words do not? 😵💫
(Using your half joke post as an opportunity to complain that dealing with all the different rating boards is really complicated lol)

Didn't see this in the FAQ, but what do region restrictions look like for you (specifically Japan)? I assume certain publishers have required such subscriptions since they do for other services.

Adobe has started harassing me to pay for their suite of shit when I only need a PDF reader, so I have to go find another one now since my annoyance levels are now higher ignoring it than finding something new will be 🤣

I've always been very good at tests and passed N1 on my first try many years ago now...in 2018 I think?
I also study abroad and have lived in Japan ever since, so I never feel good giving advice either. I barely studied kanji and I'm somehow fluent enough to be a translator, so there's also that 😬

There's an English support version of this book as well, so you can still get the quality of the book through other means if it's easier for you that way :)

I hate that phenomenon where people are so convinced that they can't understand you that they don't hear any of the actual words coming out of your mouth 🙃
Glad for everyone you eventually got through to them though. The right person would have screamed at them over that...

I uninstalled Instagram from my phone a week or two ago because I was spending several hours a day scrolling on it and now I'm feeling I might as well just delete it since this is exactly the problem now 🙃
Every nice video involves scrolling through comments to find genAI tells. Exhausting.
