PART 20
of the dfk 2023 audiobook translation
@cnka
Narrator (audiobook):
Robert puts another piece of wood on the trunk and swings the axe.
Bökh: „And you never wanted to get in touch?"
The Nichtraucher picks up a piece of wood.
Silence.
Nichtraucher: „Why should I? We didn’t see each other for the past ten years either.“
He rips the piece of wood apart with his bare hands. While holding eye contact with Justus.
Silence.
Justus lowers his head.
Jo: „Uh.. weren’t you-"
Martina, quietly: „Jo, leave it. Lets go.“
Martina, louder: „We need to go! We still have something to do.“
The kids leave. Jo and Martina are holding hands as they walk away.
Bökh: „Yeah… Thank you, kids.“
Jo, whispering as they walk away: "What was that just now?!"
Robert picks up the chopped wood and walks back to his wagon. Justus looks after him.
Narrator (audiobook):
If the two friends will find back together? Matze isn’t so sure of that.
Matze, sarcastically: „Well, that was a great success!“
Jo: „Yeah, so much for friendship between Internals and Externs.“
Narrator (audiobook):
At least Robert granted Herr Bökh access to his wagon. He looks around lost in thought more or less, while Robert washes the dishes.
Dishes clatter. There is silence otherwise.
Justus stares wistfully at Robert while he washes the dishes.
Justus takes his eyes off Robert and starts looking around while Robert continues to ignore him.
Bökh: „I thought you were living in London.“
Nichtraucher: (silence)
Bökh: „It's nice here.“
Nichtraucher: (silence)
Justus starts walking around.
Bökh: „I told the kids about our friendship.“
Nichtraucher: „As a cautionary tale?“
Bökh: (chuckles/scoffs) „No. Of course not.“
Narrator (audiobook):
Bökh spots the poster of „the Bandits“, the same one hanging in his apartment.
Bökh: „The 'Wild Dog' that we always played in is still there.“
Nichtraucher: (silence)
Bökh: „Should we meet there sometime? For a beer?“
Robert looks up.
He lets out a small huff, almost like an incredulous laugh or a scoff.
He dries his hands on a towel and folds it.
Nichtraucher: (silence)
Nichtraucher: „I don’t know what we would have to say to each other.“
Bökh: „Hm. Well. A lot of time has passed.“
Narrator (audiobook):
Robert sits down at the table and lights himself a cigarette.
Justus turns as well and starts looking around again.
Nichtraucher: „Why didn’t you come to Marie’s funeral back then?“
Nichtraucher: „You didn’t even get in touch.“
[„You didn't even get in touch“ -> parallels to „And you never wanted to get in touch?“]
Justus is silent. He starts fiddling with his jacket and pulls it off his shoulder. He lets out a deep, shaky sigh and is silent for another few moments.
Bökh: „…I don’t know, you met her and… and suddenly you were gone.“
[Parallels to „suddenly your closest loved ones are gone“]
Bökh: „As if everything -our friendship, the band- as if that had all just been a dream.“
Justus turns around and looks at Robert.
Bökh: „Wir zwei. Wir hatten doch Pläne.“
Bökh: „That really hurt me.“
Nichtraucher: „It hurt you.“
Silence. Just the music.
Bökh: „Yes. Very much back then.“
The Nichtraucher lets out a soft incredulous laugh again, almost like a scoff.
Nichtraucher: „I see.“
Long silence. Justus stares out the window. Finally, he turns and walks to the door.
Bökh: „You know where to find me.“
Justus leaves the wagon. Robert nods to himself silently.
Narrator (audiobook):
And with these words, Herr Bökh leaves his friend’s train wagon. If the two will ever see each other again?

no fear
one fear
i looked at the patch notes. there's some attempt at optmization clasps hands together I am very much anticipating going in and finding out if anything works better and if anything new and hilarious is broken
and there is such a big long list of bug fixes for drastic game-breaking bugs that i mostly never encountered after 2.5 playthroughs. i'm starting to think i have just had exceptional luck when playing this game
a selection of my favorites (the ones that sound funniest out of context)
Fixed a conditional blocker that caused Gollum to die if restarting during the beetle conflict.
Increased the chase radius for the “Cruel Woman” chase to prevent save games where the player cannot keep up anymore. (never got this one but I came close oof)
Fixed cog wheels spinning in random directions.
Fixed nervous hands achievement behavior.
Fixed a Game Over screen in the tutorial when restarting from the main menu during the chase sequence.
Fixed a softlock in Shadow Mountains when jumping off a cliff during a checkpoint.
Halls of Grond & Execution chambers - fixed and adjusted rotating wheels.
Gollum Groom is now covered correctly by translucency while still respecting DOF and refraction. (his what) (Is this a mistranslation) (EDIT: I have had it pointed out that 'groom' is the word for rendered hair/fur so this is referring to Gollum's hair rendering! I did not see any markedly horrible issues with the hair outside of this one cutscene where it is briefly, obviously on the wrong layer or something but I also don't have all the visual effects enabled. I find it interesting that these notes are using so many 'untranslated' terms like 'groom' and also what are obviously the level names used by the team and not by the finished game. I am starting to think they don't have a PR person)
Fixed possibility to end the Sewers without killing both orcs. (does this mean there's now a pacifist route or are you supposed to be required to kill the orcs & people were managing not to???? I didn't test this bc i just always murder every killable orc 😅 )
Solved the issue of no sound in the cutscene of Cook's death. (lmao i saw this but I just thought it was supposed to be like that/they didn't have any budget left to record a death noise)
Fixed German conflict menu choice being displayed as French.
Fixed blocked progress after the throttle tutorial when restarting from a checkpoint.
Fixed Gollum floating at the beginning for Chapter 2. (?!?!)
Fixed a softlock in Outer Gardens where Gollum would be detected immediately after spawning. (Aaahh. This I did encounter on 2nd playthrough and I don't remember how I got out of it. I think I restarted the level which was not a huge deal because the checkpoint was close to the start of the level)
Fix for wall running not always triggering correctly. (This I probably did encounter and just thought I was hitting the wall at the wrong angle, because I frequently do just botch this)
Riverpath fixed invisible 2 elves’ issue at the end of the level. (I DID GET THIS ONE ONCE and it was so funny, I think I have capture footage of it, I hope I do)
Fixed fluctuating groom (?!?!?!!) when the game is paused.
Adjusted the wrong Grashneg scale in Sewers. (don't think i ever saw this, am picturing Giant Grashneg)
Fixed infinite Game Over screen in Construction Low when sweeping through a specific checkpoint. (definitely did not get this one. I would remember that.)

hey hey!! how are you? :]
You mentioned doing some nsfw art on a seperate blog and i wanted to give a suggestion. Maybe you should do a Patreon!! Personally Id love to be your patron because I absolutely adore your art!!!! I constantly go on your blog to get inspiration because everything is so cozy and soft and I just feel so comfy after seeing your work<33
Also I think Patreon would be a good idea because Tumblr isnt,, great with nsfw stuff unfortunately :')
Ps. I ordered a tattoo commission from you awhile ago and I STILL haven't found the time to get it done ahh!! but once I will I'll send you the results.. whenever that will be auuuuu
Take care!!

hi hello! i've been kinda snailing along but im ok!
i've been considering making a patreon for a while now actually! made an account and stuff, but the idea of committing to it has been pretty intimidating to me :') i think it'd be good for me if i could actually commit to it, but i rly don't have the best track record with sticking to things long term. i worry i wouldn't be able to see it through at the expense of my patrons.
so um honestly i'm a little ok with things getting taken down or whatnot, making a dedicated mature content account would be more of an experiment than anything! so if i find i like to do it but have trouble with tumblr as a platform i might move to someplace else. or if i end up drawing nudity but not rly anything sexually explicit i could just post it here with appropriate tags (pretty sure anyway, not sure how finicky the policy on that is here)
either way, i do appreciate that you'd be interested in seeing me make a patreon !! and that tattoo was a real treat to design, i'm still really pleased with the result :•) thank u again for that, and for the message!
