Oh, FFS, someone who doesn't know that "crypto-" is an affix is trying to quote-dunk me over the handle I came up with ten years ago and have happily explained to anyone asking in good faith, many times.
What a cunt.
What a cunt.

I can’t begin to tell you how incredible localization teams are.
They don’t “just” translate - they rewrite jokes and idioms to recreate the same emotional (or funny) in a different culture and language style, and give invaluable advice on character, regional dialects, and cultural norms

Translation isn't expensive. In fact, it's frequently the biggest return on investment:
For the top 100 grossing movies of all time, 50% of their profits were made outside of English, and they spent less than 1% of their budget on localization.

Seeing a lot of racist pinkwashing bullshit about Muslims and homosexuality and it’s a good time to share how I was on the gay marriage beat for a decade and racist gays never believed me when I shared how US Muslims favored equal LGBT rights (52%) over Christian evangelicals (34%)!

PEGGY HILL: my deck doesn't have any pathetic cards, Cotton. But it does have a little Egyptian orphan boy who overcame the odds and got his college degree. And that boy's name? Exodia

Hot take perhaps but I would rather have fewer games if it meant that the games we got were treated like something other than disposable single-use products.

the future of play is madness. hallucinatory barbies tell your child they are the next messenger of god. there is a new furby; sitting in your son's room, it debunks the very concept of time itself. in a stupor, your daughter asks her doll what the capital of texas is. it says "texas city."
I know this makes me sound boomer as hell but I feel so bad for kids these days. This is evil

They've banned Calvin & Hobbes.

How profoundly sad. The kids deprived of reading Calvin and Hobbes are the kids who need them the most. My brother put it best: "We know we’re fucked when they come for your cartoon stuffed tigers."

The ECI still needs another half million signatures, and has only a month to go, but the signature rate has dropped off thanks to determined trashing from a guy who openly admits he thinks live service shit is fine.
