Artistic intent in translation@Grummz on anime and game translation:
Anime translation, as well as games, should reflect the original artistic intent as closely as possible.

This is what customers want.


Nobody ever asks for more memes to be inserted in anime.


Counterpoint: Ghost Stories (except the style here is what we now know as "abridged" series)

Politicized/memed subs versus direct/purist subs@Grummz again:
If you are adding US culture and politics to your anime translation, you are a colonizer and are appropriating culture to twist ot to your own western values.

Stop profiting from hijacking anime for your personal messages.

BGR showing that they are willing slaves to the monopolist beast
Epic invented a crisis so Fortnite fans would support its lawsuits against Apple and Google (archived)
Of course, sideloading apps shouldn’t be advised — that’s not possible on iPhone, and it’s probably something Google should close up as well.


Epic probably not doing themselves any favours by pulling the IAP stunt that got the game dropped from both stores, but its claims against Apple look like they stand up pretty well
Claims against Google are undermined by the fact that Android does allow for sideloading apps and even alternate app stores even if they aren't available through Google Play (it's easy enough to find and install F-Droid for example)

Attack on libretroSomeone routed through AWS to attack the libretro project on Saturday
Build server was virtually wrecked, and multiple repos in their GitHub organization were reset
Netplay, core installer, and update services are also down
Hacker vandalised our buildbot and Github organization
Apparently Github can't restore the sabotaged repositories? @libretro:
Github has told us that they are not able to restore our repositories - "I'm sorry to say that we aren't able to restore a branch or repository to its previous state on our end." So we will have to do it manually.
