We literally recategorized an entire preexisting word to mean poser, what the hell are you talking about

Kinda crazy how the concept of a Poser doesn't exist to gen z because they are all posers

there's a very funny motte and bailey you see sometimes re: computational functionalism where the motte is "all causal processes can be reduced to computation, thus consciousness must be reducible to computation"
but then the bailey is "claude feels pain because he says ouch"

@__Geneticist @TW0HEADEDBEAST most of them are just copypastas or variations of the same joke, they're not really that funny

@ZekooXP @FlyingLine_BS @gunga_utdr @SaitoxBeats i see one person complaining and another defending it. i don't see the consensus you are implying.
of course some people aren't going to like it, that's how it always is. e.g. someone in those comments didn't seem to understand that papyrus/sans have goofy fonts in english too

@FlyingLine_BS @gunga_utdr @SaitoxBeats tapittalk.com/undertale-tran… here is where they complain about Undertale official translation

@Bloodthirstyleo @Cyber_Theosis did you think this would be offensive to me or something lmao
English
@agiannih @Cyber_Theosis USA is stupid, don't even start with thinking about saying something is stupid
English
@Bloodthirstyleo @Cyber_Theosis i mean i also think it's kinda stupid, but i can also see why he has this stance. the memes are definitely stupider though
English
@agiannih @Cyber_Theosis Nuh uh, he's just a stupid dev that thinks his game is too complex to translate
English
@Bloodthirstyleo @Cyber_Theosis can you take issue with that stance? for sure, but the points you're making and the memes you're posting don't even try to address the point head-on, you started out with a bad faith argument
English
@Bloodthirstyleo @Cyber_Theosis i don't think it's hard to understand why he doesn't want to stamp something as an 'official' translation if he's not sure it captures his intent
yes, it's a silly indie RPG. but people over-analyze every line in this game, so it's not hard to see why he has a stance like that
English
@Bloodthirstyleo @Cyber_Theosis nobody said they did
and again, you're really not addressing the point... if translation quality and intent doesn't matter very much to you, then fanmade versions should be perfectly good, no need for toby to be involved. maybe toby could give them some money but that's about it
English
@agiannih @Cyber_Theosis If every dev needed to know a language to translate the game, translations would practically not exist
English
@Bloodthirstyleo @Cyber_Theosis "...but an unofficial fanmade is?"
no? he said very plainly he doesn't know how to assess the accuracy so he doesn't want to make it official otherwise
and again, you're kind of contradicting yourself re: translation quality and you didn't address it
English
@Bloodthirstyleo @Cyber_Theosis "pretty dumb thinking that all latinos speak spanish"
i know your profile is portuguese, the point is that i know spanish and your meme is dumb. i thought you knew spanish because you posted a screenshot in spanish
English
@Bloodthirstyleo @Cyber_Theosis go ahead and speak spanish at me lol
anyway, if you don't care that much about the translation quality or "nooance" or toby's stamp of approval, then why do you even care if there's an official translation or not? the fan translation came out pretty quickly
English
@Bloodthirstyleo @Cyber_Theosis nah, this is more like getting upset at someone who makes ice cream for not making a lactose-free version. it's not their obligation. the discussion about 'nuance' and stuff being 'lost in translation' is still secondary to this fact
English
@Bloodthirstyleo @Cyber_Theosis i can read spanish and i don't know what point you are trying to make with that screenshot. it's stupid
obviously not everything is going to be perfectly transferrable to another language even with a good localization, it's a matter of *how much* is lost
English
@Cyber_Theosis Learn Spanish, or the view of the post is not gonna make sense anymore
English
@EnriqueM262 @tokidriffft @imveryhungry445 how is it any different from any other mod...?? if you bought the game you're free to modify it however you like. that's never ever been a 'grey zone' ever
English
@tokidriffft @imveryhungry445 But they don’t support the artist either, it’s a grey zone many are aware of.
English
@DracoJayco i don't understand the ppl who believe they are *owed* a translation. it's fine to be sad but feeling entitled is crazy
and most clearly don't understand why he doesn't do one, saying he "has money" to do it or he's "xenophobic". that's so obviously not the issue
English
@kronius222 sure, that's very reasonable, its just unfortunate the reaction from other people has not been as reasonable.
English
@kronius222 (and to be clear, i'm not saying *you* are acting like he's a bad person for it, but certainly many people are
but also, i don't think there's anything to address here, he just doesn't want to put extra work reviewing a spanish translation even if it would obviously make $$$)
English
@ritsusimp1 @ValcomDrifty aren't all Toby's fault, but he doesn't say anything about it, literally nothing, in these 10 years with lots of fans who speak portuguese and spanish.
Maybe he can't solve all these problems, and maybe he can't solve a single one, and that's okay, but atleast say somethin man

@QuiltstarCo @mean_field_zane @JeremyTColes @Empty_America As for Liberty, the wording is more unambiguous. Where are you seeing the distinction?
English
@QuiltstarCo @mean_field_zane @JeremyTColes @Empty_America The wording might be confusing to you, but I'm not seeing anywhere on FSU's site that makes a distinction. The award for all National Merit finalists (College-Sponsored covers anyone who didn't get an 'official' award).
English
If you have 150 IQ, you are going to be a national merit scholar, which at a *minimum* leads to attending a state flagship research university for free, from there you would have scores to attend a good Law School, Med School, etc.
But many of you wouldn't know this . . .
Living Room Enjoyer@Emptier_America
Conservatives above the age of 40 genuinely believe that we live in a "ruthless cognitive meritocracy," and that intelligent people who don't flourish are lazy or otherwise defective. In fact, 150 IQ White kids from Montana are priced out of elite schools if not outright denied.
