When you play Eishin Flash’s career, you’d expect references to Germany. If Fine Motion’s, Ireland. If Taiki Shuttle’s, America. If Helios’, why not Japan?
"Ugh Helios' localization is terrible! The zoomer brainrot uma using modern zoomer terms is TERRIBLE. She should be making outdated 2019 japanese cultural references that I as a White Person in America do not and would never understand!"

Then why when games or anime are translated in Spanish its accurate to the Japanese but not English?
People who complain about localization must take a Translation course in Linguistics and understand why Literal one-for-one translation is not always the option - Said by the guy who is majoring English Linguistics

The most Japanese thing ever made, a Blu-ray/DVD/VHS player.
Savers paid off, big time.

When you have to lie about what the plain translation is to make your redditard version sound better (and then it still sounds worse)
Notice how the CyGames translation is more interesting than the Plain translation and gives Helios more character

We're asking for "burrito" not to be translated as "cheeseburger" you dishonest shit
If your plan for localization is “just keep it in Japanese and expect English speakers to learn what Japanese words mean,” that’s not a plan. Imagine if they did that in Spanish shows and left “usted” and “tú” to show the difference. It would sound bizarre.

Just saw a tier list based on how good Nintendo consoles are in terms of first-party games and that person put the DS in D-tier and the Wii U in C-tier. No wonder I completely ignore tier lists in general, a lot of them are really bad imo.

I need a new phone. The battery barely last a whole day now, the screen has some signs of burn-in, and it's forever stuck on Android 15. (the cracks are from the screen protector btw)

Using a glitch to get a really big jump in the remake, its now possible to get the silver gauntlets chest as adult, which is supposed to be gotten as child. The cutscene that plays after tries to fit adult link into child link model, which ends up looking like this.

Technology peaked when you could carry 2000 songs in your pocket and the battery lasted four days because it wasn't tracking your location
