two Ruri loc points:
-literally, are you a middle-schooler?, but "what're you, 12?" is the standard English for that.
-literally, should I downgrade you to "girl" status?, but "another species" gets the idea across less confusingly (mild misogyny-by-way-of-awkwardness)

After publishing this article, I've heard from many that CR seems to be using AI to produce dub CCs. Now, thanks to a slip-up CR had with episode 6 dub of The Banished Court Magician, we can say that with 100% certainty: Crunchyroll is using the AI service Ollang.com for its dub closed captions!

ran out of woobles licensed crochet kits,
but I found a legally-distinct "dark tower" pattern on etsy
it felt a little bare-bones, so I freestyled a bunch of extra adornments using my whopping ~2-weeks'-worth of crochet comprehension. It's fun! Quite mathy! Kind of like coding!

MP1: no npcs who talk to you
MP2: one (living) npc who talks to you
MP3: at least five npcs who talk to you (<-Halo envy, here)
MP4: some Whedon-Marvel Jack Quaid-ish anthropomorphized-yellow-paint quipper
(the pinnacle [derogatory] of npcs who talk to you)
the roadmap was always there 🤷♂️

re: entitled men can't email:
For work I usually correspond with in-the-trenches women who can write, but for one project, a high-level manager-type man was on the chain, and istg this dude wrote in incoherent misspelled sentence frags w/o capitalization, punctuation, etc.
Kinda revolting!

about to translate famiresu as fast casual dining and nobody can stop me
*actually a bad loc, b/c famiresu in Japan are cheap as sin, cheaper even than US fast food, thereby giving the wrong impression to western readers
**but indexing against JPN incomes makes it an apt comparison, so it's fine

came across an unholy triple negative! ...okay, maybe 2.5.
three ないs anyway
倒せそうもないって気はしないんじゃないか？
>We ain't ready to call this thing 'invincible,' right?
(transposing the negative verb phrase (we cannot beat) into a neutral adjective (invincible) is a handy trick. preferable even to "unbeatable")
