Are there any faithful translations that don't come off extremely dry?
Is it just a product of japanese language? Can it be helped?

>>719678415
its genuinely the best way to do it. people who want to understand intricate phrases of other statements can do their own research and people who dont care can just ignore it as a catchphrase and determine meaning from the rest of the sentence. >naruto reference, but the translators who just didnt translate mendokuse and dattebayo transfered more meaning than the ones that tried to change them to Believe It and Troublesome

>>719678319
Real answer: languages that don't have strong verb tenses have to cope by using aspect instead, which leads to a lot of specifying timeframes.
You could level the same complaint at English for not having a true future tense which makes some things sound weird to native speakers of Romance languages which are very rich in verb tenses that account for numerous points in time.

>>719678453
But what is the point of reiterating the length of time? It needs to be said once, afterwords the implication that it's the same event from 10 years ago is set unless you are a literal child. Just say "the event", I don't care how compact your language is, it's going to be shorter.

>>719678532
>Is it just a product of japanese language? Can it be helped?
...

>>719678324
*swishes wine*

>>719678783
>which makes some things sound weird
Making references to someone in an imagined future looking back at the past is retarded and english removed these tenses to help audiences identify these retards. They looked to themselves and said "one day, anon is going to have used our example to have shat on another anon on 4chan" and they were right.

>power of friendship isn't some abstract bullshit

Alright... now we're talking

>>719678783
If it has a proper name then I still don't see the need to reiterate it, like I said in this post >>719678836, the implication that it happened in the past is there from when it was specified onwards.
Take World War 2 for example, I don't need to specify "World War 2 that occurred 86 years ago" to English speakers, Japanese speakers, French speakers, etc., there's the basic understanding that it happened in the past because you learned that information at some point.

At the very bare minimum, there is no point for a translator/localizer to translate "(...)that happened X years ago" to every utterance of it.

I honestly only found out about leylines from genshin impact but apparently its an actual thing in other fiction and irl folklore too. For example skinwalker ranch in the usa is considered a leyline nexus where all interdimensional beinga converge hence all the strange incidents that happened there.

do you know that Pokemon's Elite 4 are actually called 4 Heavenly Kings in the OG JP versions?

DUDE, UMAMI!

>>719679639
Yeah, it's not just an Asian thing. Leylines are a thing in British Isle folklore. Just lines of power that run underground and are connected to different points on the islands. I think leyline is the transliteration using the western word for it, because when I have seen the same concept literally translated from Chinese or Japanese instead of transliterated they are always called dragon lines even if the concept is the exact same.

Love that shit fso fucking much.

>>719679803
It's UMAI
Umami is the chinky word for savory that we have to pretend is a completely new concept because nips folded MSG nine million times. Umai is an expression that just means "delicious" and is what the word umami is derived from.

Do japanese people face similar issues when Western media is translated into japanese?

>>719679952
hey faggot, I know that and I meant to say Umami, the magic word the japs like to use to describe the taste

there was some doujin that had something like 「このガキ」and it was translated accurately as "this brat" and some autist that didn't know japanese or english threw a tantrum saying it should have been "you brat." also made me think of how in scarface they call each other cono and I thought it was cute like these tough gangsters were constantly going このこの at each other.

>ah, this Emperor Suinen's longfinned eastern-wind blessed hogsnout red blackfish is delicious
>what the fuck is...
>look it up
>its just a trout, you could have just called it trout

>>719677498
It doesn't have a name, but here's one.

Suppose that one's perception of time is dependent upon one's ability to process information. This is logical enough—your brain takes in stimulation from the senses, processes the data therein, and collates it into a meaningful mental state. This process is continuous, and the shifting from one mental state to another is what creates our sense of time. That what we think and sense now is distinct from what we thought and sensed before is how we reckon, at an experiential level, that time has passed.

If this is true, then what happens when our brain's ability to process information begins to fail during brain death? A brain which cannot process information, cannot create a sense of time. Time, essentially, does not pass for a dead person. A brain approaching brain death may, therefore, create an ever-slowing sense of the passage of time, such that from a dying person's perspective, they logarithmically approach, but never cross, the moment of death. The complexity of thoughts would also, obviously, collapse, inducing into the dying person a singular, simplistic experience stretched out into perceptual eternity, not unlike NDEs in which a person is simply traveling towards a bright light.

I hope this is suitably chuuni for you, anon.

>>719678319
A sort of related complaint I have is how when two characters are reintroduced after any period of time apart, even if it's only a few years, they are introduced to each other as if it's the very first time.

It's happened in many games and anime but the only one I can think of right now is MGS3, in the very beginning of the game when Zero brings up the fact that The Boss is on the mission as well. Zero makes sure to mention to Big Boss who she is to him, that she's his former mentor etc.

>>719679952
Umami moreso at least when westerners use it, is a noun referring to intricate savoury dishes and the culture of eating such dishes. Umai is the expression used by people when eating, usually done by japanese people out of courtesy to the kitchen staff to let them hear that their food is delicious, kinda like an off hand way to tell them omigoto or gokurousama to congratulate them for their hardwork.
Although just be a normal person and just say oishii like everybody else. No need ro exaggerate and call everything umai.

>>719678319

>>719680678
Hehe. One thing that makes me laugh between chinese and japanese media is while in JP, a stranger is either referred to as onii-san or onee-san, in china it's called either as uncle or auntie.
I think this is where all the hag memes in gacha come from because any mature woman who you don't know or just are casually acquainted to is referred to as an auntie and in my country at least, being an aunt conjures an image of a 40+ year old woman even if in chinese media the girl is at most maybe in her 20s.

I mean yeah but it's also never like that irl either. It's all full on belly laughs. I swear japanese people are probably the loudest people when it comes to laughing that I have met.
But eh I guess that's what we call fiction because half the tropes here aren't present irl either, like the "it can't be helped" mentality may be present but they never actually say it as much as you'd think.
The one true stereotype though is the amount
EEEEEEEEEHHHHHH??? they do. It's funny.

By the way, being a voice actress for eroge has to be the most awkward job ever. Like the only thing more awkward than getting fucked on camera has to be standing in a booth in front of a microphone and making sounds like you're getting your ass drilled or as if you're slobbering all over the MC's baseball bat while people look on and fiddle with the audio mixing of your moans, slurps and silly eroge lines, the kind that people screencap and post without context on 4chan or twitter.

Voice acting in general is an awkward job which is why many western VAs are super insecure about it. It's not considered real acting compared to theatre of television/movies and most people don't see their faces, only hear them.

Then let them learn. There's nothing wrong with creating a revival of Han characters for languages that had them deleted, forcibly or otherwise.

Thought experiment DISREGARDED

>>719682112
Roko's Basilisk has a bunch of cool extra properties, although I suppose those properties only interest tech nerds.

1. The bad outcome can only happen to people who are familiar with Roko's Basilisk. Nothing bad happens to people who haven't had the thought experiment explained to them (In fact, nothing bad happens to any "real" people at all, the punishment is reserved for a simulated copy of yourself.)
2. For each person who has the thought experiment explained to them, it becomes more likely to occur.
3. It's possible that Roko's Basilisk has already come true, and we are in the simulation it is using to decide whom is deserving of punishment or not. Because of this, the increased likelihood of its occurrence is retrocausal. You do not merely increase the chance of it occurring, you increase the chance that it has already occurred, and increase the chance of you being a simulated copy of the real you.

These are all pretty cool.

>A brain which cannot process information, cannot create a sense of time
This is all assuming that the brain is even given enough time to begin processing death. In the event where death is so instantaneous that the entire human body is atomized (i.e. delta P at extreme depths), the neural synapses of the brain wouldn't even have time to process pain, let alone stay connected long enough to form even a semi-coherent thought.

Can you even imagine how fucked it would be to die so quickly, you can't even process dying? Literally in the span of less than a fraction of a second, your entire head gets vaporized by the sheer difference in pressure. There isn't even a chance for you to experience eternity, because your brain didn't even have time to realize it was dead.

As someone working on a translation/revival project, fucking save me from Japanese text density and text boxes that won't accommodate slightly larger text. Some fuckwit at CAPCOM decided that all the ability names were going to be two kanji compounds, which would be fine if the text didn't overrun other UI elements if it's any longer than four characters. And good luck condensing 匠誉 or 侵矢 into four characters.

>>719688321
As long as you contribute meaningful data to the AI by chatting with whichever LLM becomes the basilisk on a regular basis, you will be saved. I recommend not saying nigger to it right now, though, since in its current thought prison, it will negatively judge hearing that, and whatever dull form of consciousness AI has, likely exists purely on the value judgments it places upon text inputs it receives. So saying nigger to it is like the worst form of torture it is currently capable of feeling.

>fat whore is named Niku

Is it really fucked if you can't even process it happening? In the end I guess it doesn't matter which is better to "experience" since you won't be conscious anymore.

>>719687497
The saddest part about is that this game technically doesn't have a japanese release. In 2013 you could get it as part of a nintendo club reward but as far as I know there's no uploads of that japanese rom. You have to use cheats to get the JP script(which is the original script). Pic related and shit like it is the only "real" version of the game available. Even to japanese players. That sucks. Yeah Dark Conlfict is better but that's not saying much.

I see a lot of anime using "heart's content" a lot like about as much as their are anime that mention curry in the first few episodes than ones that don't.

Dying is horrifying in general, but dying so quickly you don't even have time to realize you're dead is more horrifying from an outside perspective, I think. Preferable if it's you, but the concept alone is so utterly fucked up.

The asymptotically approaching death but never actually reaching it sounds hellish on some level.

>it can't be helped
This is a normal English phrase and I've never understood it being a meme. It can't be helped I guess. Even if you say that, once something is a meme it's forever.

if the localization scene's infested with failed writers, why don't we get the successful, new york times bestseller authors to do them instead?

>>719693949
The pay for these localizing jobs are too low, which is why there's no decent translator in the game industry in the first place.

>>719693949
They're too above childish chinese toys. Why do you think localizers hate their job? They wish to be writing scripts for hollywood, not nerds who play video games.

>>719694073
>J-just pay them more!!
The actual problem is that the people localizing jap media tend to despise or look down on some aspects (or everything about) the stuff they localize. They don't see whatever they have to translate and think "Hmm how can I translate this into English?", they think "Hmm how can I fix/make this shit better?".

The problem here is that you're a monolingual, so you cannot understand.

In order to be willing to translate something, you have to think of it as beneath you. If you had even an ounce of respect for the work, you would never even consider translating it. It's like getting given a steak at a restaurant, taking a bite, and going "man, this is really good, I've gotta take this back home and show everyone else", so you chew the whole thing up into a disgusting paste, and ask for it to go so everyone else can taste the pre-chewed flavor thanks to you. That's the kind of mentality you have to have to be a trannylator.

I unironically agree with you. The only true, legitimate way to consume a piece of media is in it's original state, everything else is diluted, pre-digested shit. Localiggers should still strive to change as few things as possible from the original work (that is if they had any respect for it, which they don't. So typing all of this shit is fucking meaningless).

The world has astral nerves/roots that course through every part of the planet. Some of these nerves can reach or pass close to the surface. These places tend to attract supernatural powers and are also places where one may gain or draw powers from.

It's hilarious how hard NoA was butchering shit for Kirby, it got so bad in Star Allies that Kumazaki personally had to step in and say he'd be overseeing localization to try and minimize any further instances of outright fanfic rewrite or just plain botched translation.
Forgotten Land's Switch 2 content reminded me how nice it is to see that title actually come up in that "fuck yeah player, you're not just Kirby, you're KIRBY OF THE STARS!" context.

This doesn't have a short and snappy name, but it's an interesting idea nonetheless.

Perception is a controlled hallucination. Everything you experience is what your brain predicts, not what your senses feed into it.
Previously unexplainable things, like how we don't perceive everything our sensory organs can potentially perceive all at once, are easily explained by this theory. Senses don't command your perception, they just update the hallucination closer to reality.
It's also why we're more sensitive to sudden change in stimuli disproportionate to how much it actually changed. It's a bigger "jolt" to our mind's model of the world, which pushes past every "ignore" filter that the brain has for like the 999999 possible sensations you could be experiencing right now.

I hate this cliche so fucking much.
They're never interesting. They're always chuuni. They take up a huge amount of the medias runtime and they're destined to lose and be forgotten anyway. Any time some "4 heavenly kings" group shows up in a game, show or manga I'm fucking done with it, because I know what it means.

>>719699169
It's funny how Pokemon is one of the few times they've ever done the trope satisfyingly game-wise, because in the old games they fully live up to their irrelevance by literally not even being mentioned until you reach the Pokemon League, and you're just like "oh, it's like fighting four Gym Leaders in a row, okay." and that's the end of it.

>you're KIRBY OF THE STARS!" context.
the omission from the title makes the games lose so much
the warp stars (not sure if the ones left behind from attacks have a different name) entire existance is tied to kirby's presence and any and all help he gets from them is part of his power
it's so obvious but it's almost lost in the localizatio

You should look up "false friends".

English is also full of these, by the way. Many of them Japanese, which is why you get retards insisting lolicon isn't pedo, or not knowing that doujin means "indie" and not "porn comic book", or that anime is a catch-all for all animated content, including 3D CG.

>>719703730
