Felt the nostalgia today (thanks to an association-chain from Rock no Teigi). This one is an oldie but a goodie. Rainy~Ame ni Utarete~, better known to most as the song for Karate Man in some of the older Rhythm Tengoku games.
One of the things I very strongly associate with this song is also "One Step Closer" by S Club 8.

Meanwhile, one of the projects I need to get around to is the visual mashup setting One Step Closer to Iku ZYX Fly High visuals.

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
Tumblr media
#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.

in my head, i'm a powerhouse. i'm a bombshell.
it's very hard to embrace and pursue that notion, though. as strong as it feels.
growth is terrifying. exhilarating, but it feels like watching yourself die all over again.

like if I'm upset about anything in shadow and bone, it's that they wriggled their way out of saying "I am become a blade." like I HAVE been robbed of something in this case, actually

Loved the last chapter! I'd love to know more content about the interview questions that weren't posted!
THANK U ANON! Here's what happened right after the interview <3
Words of love
sometime during season 3, after Radius is cursed
linked to Birthday surprise(s) - Chapter 8 of All that glitters is not gold
Two young people, walking hand-in-hand through luxurious gardens, with sunflowers blooming all around them. He stopped and moved to stand in front of her. He was tall, taller than her, especially with that heavy golden crown on his head.
She zoomed the video and saw a little smile on the girl’s lips. She couldn’t remember the last time she had seen her smile like that. Not at him.
The King took the Queen’s hands and kissed them reverently, then she said something. Something funny, because he started laughing.
His laugh was never subtle. The whole castle heard it whenever he roared in happiness, though she couldn’t remember the last time he had laughed like that in her presence.
The video continued with the interview. She knew every word by heart, she could recite them and never miss a word, or a pause, or a chuckle. She had seen it time and again. Especially in the last few years. Whenever she felt the need to revisit a feeling, to remind herself that once joy exceeded pain in her family, she turned to that specific video. Particularly to the parts that shouldn’t have aired. To the unauthorized footage. The scenes from before and after the interview, when the King and Queen were alone, and themselves.
Don’t go.
You know I have to.
You don’t have to.
A conversation she had heard hundreds of times: her asking him not to go, begging him to stay; him insisting he had to.
Luna … I’ll be back before you know it.
That’s a lie.
She couldn’t hear their words. Nobody could, yet she did hear them. In her heart. In the memory of countless other occasions like that one.
I’ll come back to you. To you both.
The King knelt. He wasn’t wearing his crown anymore. Nor was the Queen. He knelt in front of her, circled her waist with his strong arms, and kissed his wife’s small bump, before resting his head on her belly. Her pale hands stroked his hair. White on red. Like a solitary cloud in a summer sunset.
“We love you.”
“I love you, moonlight. Always.”
Those two sentences broke her, like they always did. She stopped the video and looked at them, at her parents: together, younger, happier, unaware of what the future would bring, of how unkind it would be to them, to their little family.
She cherished that video, everyday she thanked the snoopy camera crew for disobeying her father’s orders and recording that private moment, forever engraved in her aching heart.
Her parents loved each other once. Arranged marriage or not, they had come to love one another. She had come from an act of love. In nights like that, when depression struck and her own feelings threatened to tear her heart apart, when she couldn’t find comfort in loving arms, she looked for it in those images. And she always found it.
There was love between her mom and dad. There had been, at least. Though now they couldn’t so much as greet one another without it ending into a fight, Stella knew she would always have the memories: hers, flashes of her playing with them on the beach; theirs, from their own stories; old articles, photos, videos, and that interview especially. Because she never had to imagine how the conversation had ended, because that last exchange had been recorded as it was. Filled with words of love.

If you prefer the newer seasons of ninjago over the older seasons (pilot-s5/s7) we are fundamentally different people
#kind of a neutral statement#s8 and s9 get excused to an extend but i will not for forgive them for garma/don#s6 and s7 aren't that amazing to me but they get a pass bc at least they feel like they're about the same characters as the prev seasons#and similair with 8 and 9 except yeah..... this is where it starts......#s11+ means little to me in regards to characters. sure they have some cool stuff and the stories are neat (i love s12 SOO much for example)#but. yeah it's what i call the cardboard treatment because most characters especially when they're not the focus feel like -#- cardboard cutout versions of themselves#guys isn't zane so funny because he's a robot hahaha! what a source of comedy that is so in character! /s#and i'm not gonna say that i hate the new seasons cause that's not true#i bawled my fucking eyes out at s15#but it's. kind of a different show to me and the characters often feel off.#also some recurring things that i'm sooooo annoyed at sigh ugh ugh ugh#also they start this thing around s6 where for some reason the police is involved??#and the explorer's club pls fucking DIE#it's fine if you like the chicken also man but holy crap this is just NOT for me at all#the older seasons were many times more charming and if you disagree then - well we simply have differenzt tastes#which is fine#but my god it's something i do need to point out#i didn't actually mean to ramble so much but yeah.........#one of my favorite examples is the reduction of jay's and zane's characters to goofy guy and robot smart guy#the taking jay's inventing skills is the most insane thing they have done to date and they openly admit this this is literally a thing#they really only cared about tropes and archetypes at this point even though this is simply NOT where ninjago shines#i feel like someone might unfollow mr for this but you literally don't have to#it's all fine! just feel like saying this every now and then because ninjago is one of the shows that have been THE most special in my life#forgot the / for ninja/go oh wel l sorry#the reasons i like this show lie in the early seasons and not the later ones

A new place and a meeting
Today was your average work day, it seemed to go on forever, was yours like that? I looked up, it was 12p, then I looked up and I thought it was 3p, nope, it was 1p, then 2p, what happened?! I was very busy, so that should mean the day flew by and I didn’t have enough time to get what I needed to done. Nope, it was weird. I didn’t quite make my deadline, but I got a lot done, go figure! After…

New Audio: Club 8 Shares Lush, Nostalgia-Inducing "Sucker"

This month I watched “the first wives club” (1996) Comedy/Drama
For me this movie hit at the perfect time. It was an excellent outlet for the extreme frustration I was feeling the day I saw it. The wives revenge on their awfully ex husbands is brutal and extremely satisfying. They get those bastards so good. The three friends had a great connection and I loved seeing them interact. It’s very funny and I recommend it to all the frustrated women out there.
8/10
