Super Mario RPG is..interesting.
>TCRF/MarioWiki member inspired by official retranslations keeps finding unused text differences offline, thinks it'd be fun putting them in hack, slowly accumulates but also intent on releasing final in one shot because he dislikes perpetual updates and predicts starving audience's kneejerk good reception wouldn't push him to improve
>same guy's incidentally involved in Dark Horse Mario Encyclopedia incident, stops updating SMRPG articles
>some kid inspired by FFVI hacks read Culex (superboss) Legends of Localization article, shadowdrops reworked-text that's just junk ripped from LoL & MW surrounded by fanfiction
>many (including 1st guy) basically tried to let kid down gently, deletes hack to rebrand it but controlcodes fight back and corrupt ROM, keeps saying he's going away and left the idea in more capable hands so RHDN thread is locked
>idea: why not just DELETE/IGNORE control/unused/obscure text and yolo mtl-playthrough? Stop Woolsey asap!
>kid secretly continues without telling guy after indicating otherwise, now collabing with TranslationQuest person easily impressed since she's the only RPG fantranslator in history to not play this game before, and again relocalized hack is shadowdropped
>right before remake announces
>around this time guy tries extending olivebranch but remake announcement causes rift, guy can't get through to kid because of TWITCH-STREAM dopamine, kid bluffs there's nothing else to do, exaggerating and inflating version number since senpaitendo might notice him
>guy gives up on RHDN community but still releases more or less what he has (Rebrick time-capsule AKA Wishful retranslation) elsewhere after giving remake space; it's several times its size, succeeding original goal of premiering tons of legit changes not previously seen on LoL or wikis (or kid's hack, or remake)
>then RHDN "dies"
