#but like WOW that was a shitshow

[notbecauseofvictories]

so anyway how's everyone's night, we hydrating, also I got offered a job with a title bump, more of a leadership/project management role, an almost 40% salary increase, and I am freaking out about it.

#ahhhh #ahhhhhh #ahhhhhhhhh! #like. I did not necessarily anticipate this? but also. uh. wow. wow. #I like my coworkers so much but work itself is a shitshow and it takes so MUCH to advance here #years. yeeeeeeears. whereas I could start this job in a couple weeks. #I would have to summarily fuck over all my coworkers but also....it's not like we're friends. #we're close coworkers whom I like very much and respect intensely but none of them are in danger of crossing into personal friendships #so I'm just ???!?!?!? #no wonder the company has to secretly manipulate you

new rgg fans will never know what they missed back in ye olden days of the fandom (like, 2019), doubly so now that scott strichart's deleted his twitter and jon riesenbach's privated. twitter was so fucking fun and then whatever-the-hell at sega of america happened and caused a fucking snowball effect and now we have shitass localization and resulting discourse that makes every release nigh unbearable, misinformation, confusion, people complaining about "bad writing/mischaracterization" not realizing it's because of the shitass english loc, i'm sitting here like jesus christ these loc bitches massacred saejima's character voice, people will never see him as he was intended, as original yakuza 5 localization Correctly painted him, and now they're coming for kiryu. god help us. we used to be a proper fandom. before everyone was subjected to the remastered localizations and shaky eng characterization. no one had even played yakuza 3-5, people still called morning glory "sunshine" orphanage, kiryu was our only protagonist and people still called him "boring", it was beautiful...

anyway gaiden uses affective instead of effective because the current localization team is full of careless dumbasses who don't give a fuck about ensuring they're using correct english grammar and this is not an isolated incident

#ada speaks #ive been playing through the series again from 0-5 and. yeesh #it goes from LIFE IS GOOD. LOC IS GOOD. to. oh. #yakuza 5's original localization is near perfect and they couldve made it better but instead #they opted for the cost cutting approach and decided NOT to retranslate and instead #just fucking. re-localized the localization and SO much is wrong. so much. #im playing simultaneously with a friend (myself on ps3 them on pc) and seeing the differences #and it happens in y3r and y4r too where #the original line is localized > the remastered line takes it and runs with it bc they have no original translation context #ie. in 3 rikiya says he likes 'wild' dancers. (re: strip club) it gets localized to be him liking 'aggressive' dancers. #in 3 remastered he says he likes AGGRESSIVE DOMINEERING WOMEN and that gets his Gears Turning #or. in 5 shinada says that uno is 'a little sad up top' re: his hair. and 5 remastered he says 'kinda mopey' #because they misunderstood the original english loc and so. completely fucked up the line to mean something else entirely #its like broken telephone #the same is SOMEHOW also happening in 8... i dont know HOW but somehow it fucking is #meanwhile im revisiting zero and going OH YEAH GOOD CHOICE. THAT MAKES SENSE. GREAT WRITING. WOW THAT'S AN A+ INTERPRETATION OF THAT LINE. #i miss the old loc team so bad. bring me back. #its mostly frustrating because i can see the shitass eng writing and still enjoy the game beneath it (unless it's not voiced.) but #i feel so bad for everyone flying blind and forced to take the loc at face value #its been like this since lost judgment but the main story was Fine (if a bit rushed) because. scott was still doing his thing #the substories in lost judgment also felt like they were of the same calibre (shit.) as remastered and. idk. #it seems like its been a shitshow at SoA behind the scenes for Years #and it shows.

hmmm getting hit by another little "being heartbroken about tp ganondorf" moment :)

#ganondorf #tp #twilight princess #thoughts #he's just........... like........... #and him and fucking ZANT together what a toxic shitshow you guys #extremely repressed psychosis + terminal stage of burnout sure is the combo of all times #both fueled by revenge resentment bitterness and hatred in their own special way <3 #I'd eat fanfic that dissect these two being codependant and horrible and untreated open wounds prancing around in hyrule #making it everyone else's problem :) #ganondorf being the most callous god-complexed heartless bitch that will destroy everyone and then himself if you breathe at him wrong #because if he stops to move and reflect on everything he will literally implode probably #and zant really really reaaaaally having it under control and never ever once threatening to fucking lose it terminally <3 #holding on to the.... “god” he found for his sense of worth and power and stability (mega lol your man is in shambles zant sorry) going lik #“can we keep the weird angry god from the light world I picked up from the sidewalk midna? no?? okay :D *coups the twilight realm* ” #I used to not get this relationship conceptually or why people shipped it. I get it now. #awful awful time for everybody involved 10/10 #not even getting into the Mega Divorce because wow #but seriously it's genuinely sad that two men who were *severely* wronged by fate and gods ended up being each other's undoing #because they were too.... toxic and fucked up to be anything but toxic and fucked up about it #queer infighting :( #girls hurting girls :( #SORRY about the novel in the tags I am unbearably like this everytime :((((

I keep noticing our brain being a little iffy about a couple of things today that I think we'd been repressing a lot lately and that's not ideal because it means we'll probably unrepress it more and be upset about it later, but at the same time it's like, oh hello there, I know this particular sadness. I've spent a lot of time with it and I recognise it whenever it comes back and I'm less surprised to see it again and more surprised it went away for this long. time to spend another evening with it and be gentle with ourselves and just let our brain feel whatever it needs to

#personal #thoughts #🍬 post #vent post #<- maybe? I'm upset and the thing I'm upset about is something that really fucked us up #but it's been a little while since it's come up and now it's like... oh this is a familiar thing and not a new thing I'm having to deal wit #it's grief specifically and I have complicated feelings about it #this year's been a shitshow and this specific grief kind of took a backseat and got repressed and we definitely hadn't processed it #so we felt weird about it suddenly disappearing because we knew it wasn't that we were suddenly okay #so now it's simultaneously weird and upsetting to experience it again #but also confirmation that our brain was doing exactly what we thought it was #I have a lot of complicated thoughts and feelings that I can't put into words because wow grief is messy and complicated #have you ever grieved and realised you were starting to not think about them as often anymore and then panicked #because you're scared of forgetting or not feeling anything so when you do feel upset you're almost relieved? #it probably wouldn't have been as bad but our brain kind of blocked out the positive feelings along with the sadness #because dissociation isn't very precise in what it blocks out #and it made us panic because we couldn't seem to access any feelings and it all felt very distant and vague

the further out i get from graduating the more i genuinely think like. what the fuck was that.

#i had the beginnings of this feeling when i took my flop one class semester two years ago #and that was why 2022 was so rough idk if we all knew about that lore #i went back to school that fall just thinking What Am I Doing. it was all very the end is here #you remember you saw the horrors #and then 2023 was the shitshow it was. #and now i’m back here just like. wow. really what was all that #i don’t even feel like i accomplished anything. they gave me a piece of paper and called it a bachelors degree… #and what does any of it even mean fr #that was so. stupid….

serious question besties, do we think there's an actual chance that paramore will do a eu tour after this or considering they're apparently opening for tayl*r sw*ft in all of eu that counts as their eu tour....bc i dont really care for ts at all and ik tickets for that would be an arm and a leg and a kidney, my future firstborn child and a blood sacrifice but there are literally 2 shows in lisbon and im literally catastrophizing it all so what do we think....bc at this point im just 😬 🫠🥴

#they refuse to announce the goddamn eu dates and then we get this im losing my mind #and like. i already know its gonna be a shitshow bc its ts to the point they're not even announcing #how much the tickets cost which is BAD. and girl i dont want to go to ts #and we all know that shit is gonna sell out faster than coldplay did and that was minutes...i just want to see pmore !!! #god gives his toughest battles to his most portuguese soldiers.... #i'm in a dark place (portugal)...... #wow anna said something #anna's shitposts #welcome to the circus #paramore #this is why #Taylor swift #Eras tour

christmas update: debriefing with the cool aunt 😎

#she missed the whole shitshow with my uncle and now shes getting the tea #gotta say its super reassuring that literally everyone is like 'wow he was super out of line' #like *i* know he was but thank god my mom isnt spineless enough to just agree with him because hes her brother #anyway might have straight up permanently lost my relationship with that uncle this year. no great loss obviously but jesus #gotta get in contact with his kids because theyre like 13 and in desperate need of a cool adult they can talk to

fob song ranking be like. hmm yes now that I have placed all of evening out with your girlfriend at the bottom. we can continue.

#damien.txt #lmaoo this is a lie tho there is a singular eowyg song that isn't at the bottom of the ranking #maybe that is a crime of bad taste but i think the one song slaps tbh jssjgsjs #listening to eowyg is like 'hmm. well. that's really bad. ...i see the potential though.' #like yeah i get why people were excited about them & signing them. but also. wow is it a shitshow. djhsuwhdkwhdj #i do love that their first album/ep is shit tho cause like. how much they've grown <3 #fall out boy

Yujikiri saying "Stay Cool" but during smex. Thats a concept alright. 👏😂🔥

YES BTS looked hella good in their suits.

YES I liked how they all spoke during the speech.

But what on earth was the point of that?! That felt totally pointless honestly.

#Sab talks BTS stuff #and what a shitshow in the beginning with no sound like wow come on guys get it together #the WH not BTS LOL

[grunge-mermaid]

ok so Murray Gold is trending on twitter (or maybe it's just me bc I've blocked so many shit hashtags that twitter needs random nonsense to fill up the sidebar) so I went into the hashtag to see why. turns out he's returning as composer for Doctor Who. ok? I didn't know he had left but ok?

HOWEVER the way The Discourse is going, I was expecting SA accusations or claims that he was a puppy-strangling mass murderer. especially when I saw tweets about "Murray Gold apologists" who are people who just??? don't hate him??? for doing his job???????

like, he returned to a job he's done before, he didn't kill your grandmother.

maybe I missed something and he is Problematic(TM) but as far as I can tell, his only crime is that some fans think his music is mediocre

idk the fandom discourse brain rot is strong in whoville

#god fandom at large is exhausting #I like my self-made fandom bubbles thanks #maybe it's a good thing I no longer have legal access to dr who #bc that means I'll probably forget to watch it when it comes back #I hate myself for checking the hashtag but wow what a shitshow

[burymeinblack2022]

I did not have 'sudden political crisis' on my bingo card for today but I guess it's just another day at the shit factory lolololol 🫠🤪🤪

#Loads of nonsense that u need months of lore on but basically the catalyst #Is this joke of a minister that should have been fired like 6 months ago I always thought #The guy was a joke even like 7 years ago as a MP he gave me the ick #But the pm refused to fire him for a massive fuck up even though the president wanted him gone #And the gag of it all is the pm has been consistently plagued with massive mistakes #And the biggest turnover EVER and he refused to step down taxes keep going up and they're already excessive #It's a massive shitshow and now they started investigating the guy in a massive case #And now he's like 'ok I'm out' when he spent the last year despite everything saying #Constantly 'it's gonna be 4 years deal with it' verbatim and that would be 2026...this place is run by clowns #And that's just the v abridged cliff notes version... The tip of yikesberg #Wow anna said something #Anna's shitposts

ugh ok i know blizzard is a shit company but they just posted an opening for a warcraft lore writer and historian temp position and im a little 👀

#look lol #say what you will about blizzard and warcraft and their various shitty franchises #and they are all unreasonably and irrevocably shitty and im not defending them in any way #but uh #world of warcraft is so fascinating to me in an academic sense bc it was soooo important as a sort of uh #digital culture pioneer #which is part of why its such a shitshow tbh but #it really was one of the sort of early to mid early internet cultures that set the standards for digital etiquette #bc it was such a wild west yknow throwing people together in a social situation where there are few to no established rules or manners #really fundamental for the development of like internet safety and sociality #so like i really would jump at the opportunity to work on a game like that #especially in a temp position and especially in a position where i would be responsible for archiving the lore and history of the world #bc like #that shit really developed in real time via game updates and expansions and stuff right so #you could really trace the way that the lore was developing in conjunction with the development of the wow digital culture #which like #i would kill a man to get that chance lmao #this is uh #not to be a total dork about it but this really is where i feel like if i lived in a fantasy setting #i would be a wizard thats constantly narratively at risk of being corrupted by the pursuit of knowledge lmao #like ill do pretty much anything if it helps me access the information i want or if i think theres an opportunity to learn #like legitimately anything lmao #but like genuinely i do want to become a professor of digital folklore like that is my dream #like i wanna get my phd in folklore and specialize in the study of digital cultures and ethnography #so this would be an incredible opportunity as a means to work towards that goal
