if it's my responsibility to babysit children of complete strangers and make sure that their experiences online are safe and sound, then it should also be my right to grab any random kid and order them to mow my lawn, or buy groceries, or do the dishes, because their good for nothing parents are clearly not raising them right
imagine you go to the dentist because your tooth hurts and he anesthetizes you, then removes your kidney to sell it on the black market
and when you press charges, instead of removing this "dentist" from the profession, everyone just goes "pfft, if you want to treat teeth so bad just study to be a dentist, how would you even know you need a tooth treated if you aren't a dentist, your dentist did nothing wrong"
that's basically how (american) localizers operate
people hate on translators a lot for reasons that seem obvious, but completely forget about editors, chief editor, simply censors, and others who will and do impose on perfectly fine beautiful text with their own failed writer ambitions while bragging about not even knowing the language of the source material
and speaking of hate, graphic designers also get a ton of unwarranted hate, when it's their clients who choose the final result
some zoomer just had the fucking AUDACITY to "correct" ME about Shadow the Hedgehog lore by going "acktyally, he wasn't raised in a lab on a space colony 🤓☝️" (the discussion was very explicitly about games)
AS IF I NEED ANY MORE REASONS TO HATE THIS POSTIRONY POISONED SORRY SLOP OF A MOVIE
they are also acting SO smug about it by going "ugh, who cares about the original games", like a product they enjoy isn't just a poorly digested version of the art that I enjoyed
"who cares about the original-" well a fuckton of people obviously did, if some executive thought that it would be a good idea to make a movie based on the original! speaking of "nobody cares" and "the superior live action version sells better", how's the Witcher live action going? how's the Star Wars franchise going? Avatar? Capeshit? a fuckton of other slop?
matana finished watching Justice League
before watching this, for years I have heard literally nothing good about this, everyone were saying that one should just go straight to Unlimited and skip the OG League entirely
but this is a really solid cartoon! I liked it a lot, pretty much the only downsides were that episode where JL were killing Nazis and everything about Green Lantern and his writers' main pet peeve being desperately trying to prove that he is the worthy manly man even without the ring, but this just resulted in his emerald impotence and looking like an idiot who failed in his primary mission and literally broke an indestructible ring
also they predicted covid
matana completed RE: Code Veronica X
it's shit
I played it on PS2 and actual old TV and literally couldn't see the majority of locations because some gamedev decided to be particularly sadistic back in 1998
after struggling to find a fucking door in a save room for several times I switched to the emulator with cheats enabled and even in these conditions the game was a barely visible slogfest
