If you're wondering how this will go Square Enix handed off their mobile Octopath game to NetEase who immediately started using ChatGPT to translate everything resulting in text like this. When players complained they started asking fans to fix their translations in exchange for in-game currency

why is it always this same pitch. it's either "you will soon be able to see [thing that already exists] but with [different actor]" i've seen this same pitch made over and over and over. the actors in the stuff i like are already fine. if they were bad at acting the part i wouldn't already like it!

Teazen's kombucha is so good. I really recommend it. I thought their muscat flavour was yummy, but mango guava is my new obsession. Have to actively stop myself from using up the whole box in one day.

My Shuten Order is live on Siliconera! Despite the score I ended up giving it, I still liked it a lot. It's great

Hi, hi! I reviewed Iwakura Aria for Siliconera. I really recommend it for its story (probably the best pacing I've seen in a visual novel but Hundred Line is still rotting my brain so that's not accurate), characters, and artwork!

Review: Iwakura Aria Is a Romance Full of Chills And Thrills
Iwakura Aria weaves a beautiful and intriguing yarn that combines drama with suspense, though the English translation can sometimes feel off.
