    Anime & Manga Western Localization Problems

    I'm saying that a mangled mess of a translation only good for a laugh at how bad it is isn't some huge improvement. I do put them in small paragraphs. It still spits out a bunch of errors. Like reading the characters of someone's name wrong. Repeating sentences. Getting the sex of a person...

    And you have misunderstood my point entirely. My point, based on my own use of machine translation, is those thinking it's some kind of panacea will be disappointed.

    And people wanting an actually good translation will still be left wanting, just in a different matter entirely.

    Which I'm betting will amount to tossing out the entirety of the AI-translated text and having their in-house translators doing everything from scratch, assuming they actually want to deliver a good product. As I've said elsewhere, I think the company providing translation services is at least...

    Anime & Manga Western Localization Problems

    I've used DeepL to translate Japanese stories on Pixiv, and from my experience? If you are expecting machine translation to produce something that you'd actually want to read, you'll be sadly disappointed. To the extent it actually is machine translation (and not just the company providing...

    That "Ancient Apocalypse" show

    This interview Midnight's Edge did with Hancock is a followup to the video in the first post, so I'm linking it here:

    Nick Rekieta interviews Ed Greenwood, creator of the Forgotten Realms

    Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire

    You're forgetting Godzilla vs. Kong, which was released in 2021. This movie is a direct sequel to that.

    Movies Marvel Cinematic Universe

    Yep. In fact, the Sensational She-Hulk run written by John Byrne long predates Deadpool in that regard.

    Web Content On Razorfist, and his black-and-white views on absolutely everything.

    *shakes head* He's absolutely consistent about that, regardless of whether or not he's on camera. I don't think it's him playing a role.

    Are you familiar with the works of Thomas J. DiLorenzo? If so, I'd welcome you doing a critique of them. I suspect you weren't impressed by said works.

    United States 2022 Midterms General Thread

    Razorfist's new video about Liz Cheney going down: Somewhat off topic, the shots at Lincoln in the video are typical of Razorfist, be it in politics, entertainment, or life in general. (I.e., if he doesn't like something, he treats its as being without any good points whatsoever. And anyone...
