I also have this Google spreadsheet: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

All my notes and files and stuff are here: romhack.ing/database/con... It looks like I have both the English and Japanese scripts in there too

I really like that line about the book being a time machine, seems like a great introduction to a fun time

Seeing your words is like looking at myself in a mirror

I started my FF4 translation comparison back in 2011? 2012? And it's still only 60% done, because of this very reason - I started writing comparisons of every single line, THEN I ended up looking at a zillion ports and retranslations 🤪

Wow, from the corner of my eye I thought this was a Paul blart Mall Cop movie cover

I remember that video, was really great

I think all languages have this kind of thing, it always feels to me like untangling a big mess of wires but with languages

For entertainment and/or reference, see this Japanese comedy skit translated into English: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2icA...

Is there a standardized name for this old retro pixel art phenomenon? I've always wondered

When you're old(er) I look forward to a book or video about all the crazy pitches you've been sent

To further this thought, I guess if the translation is a bridge, then your technical work makes you the bridge engineer/builder, along with the actual translator

To preserve media it helps to make it more known, which probably means sharing and making it even more available/accessible

The two things are slightly different but run parallel with each other, and translation is a major piece of the bridge between them I guess

*wondering if it's Pokemon*

More games need AZ in them
