Pink Death

@poppin1w3 the binding vow wasn't "lose arm = live" it was "lose arm and use that freed up CE to protect the rest of his body"

not a fan of this binding vow I don't like how he can just sacrifice his arm to live even tho he can just grow it back with stuff like copy you can't grow your arm back or yuta is unable to use that technique I think hakari should've been the same here because he lost nothing

@akaaroS @eajaymello no I don't know the language. And I don't think the ability to be sold is the only criteria for something to be a product.

@PinkDeath23 @eajaymello You're just wrong to say that art isn't also a product, If it weren't, It wouldn't be sold. Of course it depends, but that's how It is. And you didn't answer me - would you play undertale or deltarune if they were only available in Japanese?

Sem querer passar pano pro Toby Fox Mas todo mundo falando como se ele tivesse dito que os jogos dele são "complexos demais para serem traduzidos", quando só me pareceu que ele disse: "eu não tenho confiança pra traduzir os jogos pra idiomas que eu não conheço"

@Kaorumitsurugi Isn't that why Toby learned Japanese in the first place?

Toby Fox fans experiencing 0.0001% of the pain of people who are interested any Japanese game or visual novel made before 2010

@akaaroS @eajaymello I was talking specifically about the game but if you're saying art itself is a product, that kinda baffles me. to the point that I don't even know how you could come to that conclusion. Nothing I can say will change your mind.

@PinkDeath23 @eajaymello Art is a product, whether you like it or not. It's a game - if someone wants to play it, they're going to BUY it and give it a try. But if it's not translated, how? Just imagine if the game were only available in Japanese, not even English. Would you like it?

@J4ysGalaxy @StinkNEO @poppin1w3 Neither are presented as being even close to the speed of lightning?

people will throw away the ability to read just to slander kashimo you CAN'T dodge his lightning bro

@Leonardo_onaip @Noli61306855099 I'm talking about both. I think how art is expressed(medium, language, timeline, etc) are all fundamentally just as much a part of the work as the art itself.

@PinkDeath23 @Noli61306855099 I mean, if ur arguing about people attacking him then I'm with u, but there's no good explanation for him not getting to translating such a famous game from more than a decade ago, yk?

I'm going to make a game and not do english translation and when someone complains I just tell them to learn portuguese

@Leonardo_onaip @Noli61306855099 I'm not making excuses. You guys have valid criticism, I'm just arguing against it. Sadly the Internet does affect the world, and I'm trying to do my part in dissuading, or at least slowing down an idea that I fundamentally disagree with. And you're doing the same I think.

@PinkDeath23 @Noli61306855099 It's a start and I hope u have fun, but stop making excuses for toby

@akaaroS @eajaymello I disagree, I fundamentally believe that it's art first and a product second. Accessibility would be nice, I agree on that, although that's because I believe artists should want to share their work with the world, rather than because the world should have access to everyone's art

@PinkDeath23 @eajaymello It's not about having any right, he can do whatever he wants with his games, sure. But translating the game is a simple acessibility tool that every game in 2026 should be able to do, so more people can play. It's about doing the right thing

@Leonardo_onaip @Noli61306855099 Only one, sadly. I'm learning Spanish, but I barely started a couple weeks ago.

@PinkDeath23 @Noli61306855099 How many languages do you know? I'm curious now

@LurioZzz I don't think that's contradictory. I bet he'd love to play it again in Japanese, he might have already.

"Pra entender 100% da obra tem que experienciar na lingua orignal" ai o jogo favorito do cara é um jogo japones que ele jogou inteiramente em inglês

@cauboidoespasso @Bloodthirstyleo @eajaymello Every single translation of any work is always going to be a different interpretation of said work. The only person who can really say if it's a "correct" one is the author. Toby just happens to want a slightly more informed decision.

@PinkDeath23 @Bloodthirstyleo @eajaymello how can it be harmful? what harm comes from making your work acessible in other languages? As long as the localization team is doing their job instead of tinkering with the content, I don't see how it can be harmful

@cauboidoespasso @Bloodthirstyleo @eajaymello You'd be correct, but that doesn't really matter. I've admitted my privilege, but I don't think anything about me or you should affect the merit of our discussion.

@PinkDeath23 @Bloodthirstyleo @eajaymello Yet i am 100% sure tons of localized foreign games, anime and manga are part of your formative media backlog, just like me.

@cauboidoespasso @Bloodthirstyleo @eajaymello I'm not saying you can't criticize artists, I'm arguing against the criticism. I think it's cool indie devs care about their fans like that, but I don't think it's something needed and can actually be harmful to the work they put out a lot of times.

@PinkDeath23 @Bloodthirstyleo @eajaymello of course they can, and people can criticize them based on those choices. nothing is free from criticism just on the merit of being an artist's vision. Most indie devs put in the work to foster an acessible enviroment, without needing to.

@cauboidoespasso @Bloodthirstyleo @eajaymello Yeah and that's fine, any creator can decide to present their work to whoever they want. A lot of it is motivated by money tho, and it just so happens that there's a lot of money to be made in selling to the US.

@PinkDeath23 @Bloodthirstyleo @eajaymello You're still getting it, though. The entire gaming medium is built around Jap-to-US translations. Localizations that were many times not worth the hasshle but were done anywyas become someone believed other people deserved to experience that game.

@cauboidoespasso @Bloodthirstyleo @eajaymello hmm I'm talking more about how it's done. I personally believe how an artist releases their work is just as much apart of the art as the work itself. Every standard for how translations are done is arbitrary, this just happens to be Toby's.

@PinkDeath23 @Bloodthirstyleo @eajaymello You act like implementing acessibility options is the same thing as selling out your work, when in reality it is usually the opposite. It costs more than it is usually worth it, but devs do it anyways out of principle.

@Bloodthirstyleo @cauboidoespasso @eajaymello I agree I'm privileged in that context, but a lot of it is filtered through translations and other contexts I'm lacking. Every time I read stuff from other cultures, I'm jealous of the people that get to experience it properly while I'm just getting someone else's interpretation.

@PinkDeath23 @cauboidoespasso @eajaymello Actually you can have most of the recent things, Unfortunately, the United States is still the focus of most games/movies/series

@Bloodthirstyleo @cauboidoespasso @eajaymello I think that's obvious, people give up money for their vision all the time, otherwise all art would just be whatever statistically makes them the most cash. I think we agree this shouldn't be the case though.

@PinkDeath23 @cauboidoespasso @eajaymello So they shouldn't care when they start to lose money :p

@cauboidoespasso @Bloodthirstyleo @eajaymello it sucks that I have to rely on translations because I feel the original meaning is lost 99% of the time. I wish I just knew every language lol, but that only partially helps anyway.

@cauboidoespasso @Bloodthirstyleo @eajaymello There's an uncountable amount of art I'll never get to experience properly because of language barriers, differing time periods, or just the fact that I don't know it exists.

@cauboidoespasso @Jack_Luminous I guess we just disagree on what the bare minimum is. I don't think I'm owed someone's art in any form whether it's a random 5 year olds drawing or the most influential piece of literature ever created.

@PinkDeath23 @Jack_Luminous the moment you become influential in a medium, your words and choices have weight. trying to act like a poor small indie auteur when he made fucking undertale is pathetic. he doesn't owe anyone anything, but failing to do the bare minimum is 100% worthy of criticism

Placing your own artistic satisfaction over the whims of some bitchy fans is absolutely the correct thing to do.
