And finally, we get to our last question, which asks—Japan has Famitsu and Dengeki to relay to them all that cool lore information about Thordan and his Knights Twelve and whatnot. Why isn’t that translated for the west?
Good question! If I was in the same shoes as the English-speaking fans, I’d be just as upset. The problem is, lore books are lore books. Unlike art books, they are extremely text heavy and game-specific. To translate that text would take time, and that would mean pushing back in-game text localization...and that’s something no one wants. It would be great if Famitsu could do that translation, but they lack the resources as well...which means if it were to be done, we’d have to do it. Or in other words...I’d have to do it.
But, it’s about time that we got our own lore book. You guys have had to wait far too long. So, I told Yoshi-P that I would translate a book, should there be one. And he said we’d make it happen...and that we’d try to get it finished (JP and EN) before the Fan Fes in America...so that means October! I’m still trying to figure out if that’s possible...but I promised, so I guess that means I’ll just have to find a way to make it possible.
Yoshi-P then threw me a curveball and told me to tell everyone watching on the stream...in English. Now, I’d just spent the last 9 hours in pure Japanese mode—I’d switched off all the EN sectors of my brain to conserve RAM and allow for 100% of my processor power be allotted to Japanese...and Yoshi-P says “ENGLISH GO!” Man... talk about a mind going blank. I literally had to restart my brain, and still only ended up being little more than a string of words... “Uh... Lore...Book...Make...GOOD...”
But yeah. Long story short. OMG! WE’RE GETTING A LORE BOOK!!!!!!!!!!111!!!1!

I also used to go sober to raves just for the dancing.
This sounds like masturbating with a cheese grater.
Mildly amusing but mostly painful.
Rave scene was different back in 1998~2000, lol.
I'm familiar.
Still doesn't sound fun drunk, let alone sober.
In fact, most of them I went to weren't intended to be sober, I just got bored and left before I was there long enough to get inebriated in any fashion.
Kind of funny, the guy who called to let me know I got the IT/helpdesk job was supposed to send me an email with some of the final paperwork etc. He got locked out of his email.
If I was already working I could reset that for him lol.
Sure 90% of the goal of going to a club is for sex, but sometimes you just wanna dance with music at high volume without neighbours calling the cops on you.
Meh, I would have enjoyed having Jac with me in the clubs.
I think only half the women are there for sex as opposed to 90% of the guys.
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
