3rdor best girl

I downloaded Higurashi and Higurashi Kai a long time ago but never played them. Just noticed that Mangagamer released the second episode on Steam. Is it worth playing the new release which apparently has all the original sounds, and waiting for them to release them episode by episode over a number of years, or should I just play the old version with a clusterfuck of patches from higurashi tweak wikia applied?

I don't get it, you probably didn't even read the Tokyo Zodiac books, if you had you'd know it's completely different, yet here you are talking about it based on knowledge from a wikipedia page summary. Shaking my head anon.

>>122397615
I did read, there is a lot that is similar.
The fact that it begins with the tirade of a crazy old man trying to revive his perfect woman.
All the occult elements to obscure the mystery.
The closed rooms, they way they are done.
Heck even the true culprit is similar to Umineko's.

Even the meta aspect is similar since TZM is about trying to make sense of a series of murders that happened decade before.

You are just completely deluded because you are a crazy fanboy

Okay, then let's talk about games that are getting translated. Oh wait, no, we can't do that because we all hate SP and JAST. People are even starting to shittalk MG's new game Euphoria so I don't know whether it's actually interesting and plot-driven or just a nukige with extreme content.

The middle ground is being an electrician/plumber/other trade skill contractor. You can choose what you want to do and you get paid absurd amounts because nobody does it.

Either that or doc/postdoc. Postdoc is the dream world I've heard tale of, where you get paid a stipend to sit around your own lab for a year and then return negative results with no accountability and no boss.

does this mean it's okay to post untranslated stuff?

>In comparison to the past me, I don’t really like translation in most instances. If I were to give the intuitive reason as to “Why?,” I’d be predisposed to argue that if a fan was truly fan, then they ought to learn Japanese. After all, to call oneself a visual novel fan without being capable to read Japanese (which the greater amount of all visual novels are written, and untranslated from) is a contentious declaration in some respects. A translation, no matter how ‘good’, by definition, likely cannot surpass the original work if the intent of a translation is to convey the original author’s sentiments. In this instance, my concern with not reading a language in its derivative prose isn’t a technical one (it is true though, that certain phrases are better left in Japanese, untranslatable to most dissimilar languages). But rather, one of scope. There are approximately 8-15 new visual novels being released monthly, with each, having at least fifteen hours of reading time. A translated work however, is announced once in a while, and completed, a year or so (at ‘good pace’) after its announcement. So if the concern was one purely pragmatic (time investment:amount of works read), then certainly, investing in learning a language would provide far more benefits than waiting patiently.

>if the intent of a translation is to convey the original author’s sentiments
For anything that isn't 2deep4u Scaji shit, the author's sentiments pretty much don't matter. His logic that translation can't be as good as the original falls apart there. If a story starts out being shit like Comyu's, no amount of fancy language will save it, untranslatable or not.

I just knew clicking a hundred times would let me see her naked. Very nice indeed.

>>122442608
You pretty much misunderstood that.
A translation is taking Japanese, and turning it into English. What's the goal of the translation? If it's to carry the same meaning as the Japanese (the author's sentiments) then the translation will always be inferior. You say 2deep4u shit but it's actually the case for a lot of mundane things, which isn't a phenomenon you can properly understand without knowing 2 languages yourself, I think. If a translation is intended to IMPROVE the original text, like how Arduoc fixed script errors and overall blandess in Kamidori, then yes translations can surpass the original, in certain viewpoints. However, most translations aren't like that; most are, of course, trying to reflect the original Japanese's sentiments, and therefore they are always inferior.

>>122442895
I understood what he was saying, but I was nitpicking at that particular though process. I know three languages, granted the only translation I've done is a lot cleaner because the languages are pretty close. The goal of translation should never be the equivalent of a human dictionary. The author's sentiments, in the sense of being the particular words used to represent their intent, are mostly worthless. "I want you to put c**k in me anon-kun" and "Take me now" both have the same intent, but the particular sentiment is different. One of them sounds awkward in one language, the other in the other. Operating from the assumption that the goal of translation is to best present the same content to an audience using a different basis of knowledge and shared experience using different words and figurative language, it's necessary to discard the particular expressions used in the original. But that's fine, because it's rare that there isn't some near equivalent in the output language. Sometimes that near equivalent is better at communicating the intent than the original. Japanese stuff loves to fuck with pronouns, and a lot of that kind of thing actually works better in a language like Spanish where you can do the same thing but better. If the rest were translated literally, then the translation would therefore be the same or better than the original for discarding the sentiments but keeping the intent.

It all comes down to whether or not you think the goal of translation is sentiments (e.g. wording) or intent (e.g. meaning).

>>122443636
Alright. Do you think translations can convey the intent of an author better than the original text? Do you think translations tend to succeed in that?

Remember guys, math is a language. EVERYONE knows at least two languages.

>>122443716
They absolutely can. I point to the Spanish pronouns example I gave. Some tricks just straight up work better in other languages. It can be clear that the intent is to mislead with pronoun usage from the Japanese, but the Spanish equivalent can just skip straight past all that and have it be implicit.

Whether most translations do succeed at it is another matter entirely. Many translators opt for the human dictionary route and as a result things seem awkward when you read them. Compare with the stuff Koestl does. He totally rewrote the "A Magi Nation" scene, but he nailed the intent of the original.

You know, I really want to learn japanese but I'm just so fucking unmotivated to do beyond my anki reps everyday that I just can't do it.

>>122444654
Sure man, whats up?

>>122444031
I see. I understand your sentiments, and in fact my perspective on translations has been brightened. However, despite that, I still agree with >>122442168 in general, for two primarily reasons, which I have encountered quite often in my own translation endeavours:
1) Sentiments (i.e. wording) is often fairly important in a work. Even if intent is 100% conveyed, I would say that the translation is inferior to the original which 100% conveyed both wording AND meaning.
2) The simple fact that the vast vast majority of translators are not nearly competent enough to achieve 100% intent/meaning in the first place.
I have definitely improved my views on translations on an ideal level, but in the "real world", ideal translations are not made, and even perfectly ideal translations are inferior to do changed sentiments. You mentioned in the beginning
> the author's sentiments pretty much don't matter.
However, I think they do. As an "exaggerated" example, every word in certain Shakespeare plays follows iambic parameter. To convey the intent of shakespeare, but to do so without maintaining rhymes/iambic parameter/puns etc will be "inferior" to the original. To use a "common" example, the Japanese have like 100 creative words for female genitals, but a translation will always be forced to either stick to intent (vagina/pussy) and lose flavor, or will be forced to be awkward (love hole/honey pot/flesh crevice).

>>122442168
I guess everybody who can't speak Japanese aren't allowed to be a fan of any media from Japan because it's all translated then.

>>122445652
I think fan translators are actually working on it.

>>122446059
What I took from " if a fan was truly fan" was that someone who REALLY likes visual novels would be willing to put forth the effort to learn Japanese given the HUGE rewards for doing so. Obviously, you can be a fan without having sufficient passion to give a hoot. I'm a fan of Korean cinematography, but do not plan to learn Korean. That's because my passion is not very high, and plenty of movies have subtitles.

Yeah, sure. So you say now. There's a reason that people don't finish translation projects, you know. It's like that Fyodor Dostoevsky quote:
> ... to say that he was stupid or dull would be a great injustice. I'll simply repeat what I have said above. He entered upon this path only because, at that time, it alone struck his imagination and presented itself to him as offering an ideal means of escape for his soul from darkness to light. Add to that that he was to some extent a youth of our last epoch- that is, honest in nature,desiring the truth, seeking for it and believing in it, and seeking to serve it at once with all the strength of his soul, seeking for immediate action, and ready to sacrifice everything, life itself,for it. Though these young men unhappily fail to understand that the sacrifice of life is, in many cases, the easiest of all sacrifices,and that to sacrifice, for instance, five or six years of their seething youth to hard and tedious study, if only to multiply tenfold their powers of serving the truth and the cause they have set before them as their goal such a sacrifice is utterly beyond the strength of many of them.
Mainly
> Though these young men unhappily fail to understand that the sacrifice of life is, in many cases, the easiest of all sacrifices,and that to sacrifice, for instance, five or six years of their seething youth to hard and tedious (translation) ... is utterly beyond the strength of many of them.
I started translating a VN and it is grueling. It has 9,000~ lines. I go through 100 lines through about an hour of dull work every morning. It's going to take me 3 months to finish, daily dedication to something I don't really enjoy. Aiyoku is 65,489 lines. About 10,000 are translated, *maybe*, so that leaves you with 55,000. Are you willing to tediously work on this for hours every day for 1.5 years? For NO benefit to yourself, except that OTHER people get to read it? I don't think that's likely, anons.

https://vndb.org/v12589
I'll admit the huge amount of sex makes this even more dull (and slightly harder in some respects) than your average game but overall I think I've got a grasp on the process. The only reason I'm even able to go as fast as I am is because I don't care too much about preserving "sentiments" and have gone entirely on "intent" which for porn makes it way easier. Someone TL'ing Aiyoku would have a harder time.
>>122448159
I happily translate doujins, song lyrics, etc for friends, but holy SHIT vns are on another goddamn level. A doujin has like, 200 lines maybe, a song has 50-some, VNs have fuckin' unending thousands of lines, most of which are lengthy and hard to word properly. It beats on your soul. You spend like 6 hours straight translating a day for the first week and you've hardly made a dent. You weep.

>>122448453
I ran into that problem myself. It especially hurts because all the lines are in one big document, so even when you spend hours on it you've barely scrolled down the page. The trick is to just break it into manageable chunks, translate a section at a time, and if you're struggling with a part (either because you don't know how to translate it, or you're just really bored), go translate another section that you like more, or just stop working on it for a while. The other solution is to stop posting about it, because if you keep saying you're gonna do it, people will expect you to, which creates pressure, which can actually make it harder to translate. Just remember that nobody's forcing you to do this, you can do it at whatever pace you like, and if you want you can quit anytime.

>>122448453
why are you even bothering to TL that?

>>122449217
I have it split into chunks of 100 lines a day. The laziness I feel far exceeds any pressure, the only pressure I really feel is to actually succeed at something and do something vaguely important (to me). The best thing that happened to me was learning Koirizo had a translation riddled with errors, because if people didn't care about THAT, they won't care about mistakes in my translation either (moreso decisions to change things than mistakes), so a lot of the pressure of living up to expectations was lessened. If the going gets really bad I'll just drop it to 50 lines a day and finish in 6 months, or even 25 and in 1 year. I wouldn't WANT to do that but it's an option I'll take over quitting, for sure.

And yeah, what a fuckin' huge document; sometimes I hit like space or something and scroll down a lot, so I have to slowly go through like a thousand untl'd lines to get back to my place. What a downer.

If a woman gives you a pie, would you refuse it if you saw she took 1 of the 6 slices before handing it over?
5 slices is worse than 6, but it's not like it ultimately matters. Sweating the small stuff is not a wise thing to do. Take stands against censorship when it actually matters, not when porn is cut from an RPG.

>>122453719
bullying girls in general is becoming mine.

>>122454861
yeah it's stupid but I'm not going to avoid playing censored games, that's just pointless

>>122454870
That doesn't make any sense

>>122455158
Don't change the analogy, punk, you're missing the point. Which is that not having the sixth slice does not make the other five slices any worse. You're looking at a full fledged RPG and refusing to play it (pirate it, I might add) simply because of the sixth slice being missing, thereby putting the other 5 to waste. You're making a big deal out of a small thing, and thereby making a mess of it all.

>>122455365
Maybe you just don't value that small piece of pie enough.

>>122455421
You would have a point were this not an RPG, where obviously the RPG and story aspects of the game are far more valuable than the lackluster porn.

>>122455158
That's not what's happening though. She's selling you the pie with a bit cut out, you're not buying the whole pie. Her taking a bit before hand isn't theft, until you bought it you had no rights over the pie or say in what happened to it. Her taking a bit out is only relevant if she promised you the whole pie and then took a slice which is not what's happening. If you don't like the h-scenes being cut out (by the way fucking h-scenes!?!) then don't play/buy the game, but you absolutely don't get to act like you've had something stolen from you because the creator of the product decided not to include something. You're an entitled fucking child and you need to grow up.

All depends on how the program processes and/or reads its text.

How do you unlock the gallery mode in KnS?
I already beat the game but I don't think it's the right end. Do I have to get it to unlock the gallery?

>tfw I'm that anon
Power through, anon. Lots of Koirizo is shit but some is nice (some like parts of Nagisa, best route)

I finished it just recently and it was okay. Like a typical mediocre moege. Certainly not something I'd ever re-read. Finishing off a route in Konosora then not sure what to read next. Might focus on Counte of Monte Cristo instead of VN for a while.

>>122476408
Its been a while but if I recall there are three actual endings and the rest are bad ends. You need a real ending credits and all.

>>122476472
>Might focus on Counte of Monte Cristo instead of VN for a while.
Can't even be bothered to finish that shit. Anyone that says that VNs have bad writing has never read classic literature.

I like this painting from KnS.

What the fuck is going on with the DVD version of Phantom of Inferno? Half the spoken lines aren't translated, and at times, it just says "..." as they speak. Did they really not bother translating most of it?

>>122477035
>Did they really not bother translating most of it?
Yes.

>>122476901
What version? There are various translations and some are abridged. I got non-abridged by Robin Buss which is non-translated. Non-abridged keeps everything, such as much of the dialogue. I first watched Gankutsuou and enjoyed the fuck out of it then bought the book. Enjoying it greatly so far.

And it depends on VN vs novel/classic. VN is very easy to read as a whole and most don't require much thinking. Some classic literature that hasn't been updated/translated for modern times at all can be grating.

>>122477129
Ehh? Is it really that bad? Should I take it off the kamige classification on the forgotten chart?

>>122476886
Well, I got three endings so far.
One with Toko alive and in the hospital, and one where she's dead. Third is she's dead.
I thought the one where she's alive is the good ending.
I think I'll just look at a walkthrough.

Euphoria out yet?

>>122477151
>which is non-translated
Non-abridged. It is translated to English, fairly modern version. Been slack on my proof-reading lately. Might pick up some more Nitro+ titles actually. Only read 4 and enjoyed the hell out of them.

Is Gakthun fully voiced, or is it just partial voices like the original release of Inganock/Sharnoth were?

>>122477316
It's coming out on Friday next week.

>>122477469
But I want it now

>>122477195
It's awful. Most of the times, only a fraction of what is said is actually translated, and the rest of the time it's not translated at all. What little is translated is also entirely in engrish.

The remake isn't licensed by any western developer, so you'd think someone would be interested in translating this classic. Easily some of Urobuchi's best work, up there with Kikokugai.

I'm not entirely sure if i must ask this here, but may as well. In Ace Attorney, during 2-3, Nick says that Miles dissappeared after the von Karma case, does that mean that 1-5 isn't canon due to not being in the GBA version?

It was pretty great, and if it ends up being not-canon then i would be pretty sad.

>>122478185
it is canon because the evens of Rise from the Ashes are relevant in Apollo Justice.
it's just not very consistent, yeah.

I hope it will be released at the beginning of next year. I have to wait over one year.

>>122478607
if it wasn't announced by now, I doubt it will be released by January- wait, I meant: "why are you posting a game only you can read?"

>>122478607
It's going to take place in a fantasy world setting so I'll probably need to texthook it, so I'll save that for later either way.

>>122470974
>we wouldn't have it at all if it wasn't censored
this is actually valid for eien no aselia
nobody wanted to translate it with the tentacle rape ending
you kids really need to know when fighting for something matters
Not playing a good game for free simply because it's censored is just you being a brat

>>122479210
Well JAST only continued to use the censored version because they were too lazy to retranslate something they could use a fan translation for. If not for the pre-existing fan translation they probably would have gone for the non-censored version. (Though arguably they might not have picked it up at all if they couldn't cash in on a pre-existing translation.)
