inb4 the editor is simply discarding the existing translation and replacing it with mcjon's

This is the sixth time we have started the cycle of discarding translations and starting new ones, and we've become very efficient about it.

[Mcjon01]

Even if Mcjon does not believe in himself, I believe in Mcjon.

See what you've done? Now I'm listening to the Gurren Lagann OST, which means I'm not getting any work done since to translate I have to have the scene open in the actual game to make sure the rhythm of the text matches the emotion of the music.

Everybody give Kotonoha a big thank you for delaying the Mahoyo translation by another year.

[bahamut zero]

Excellent, I guess I can stop now.

How do you stop something that already stopped moving long ago?

Thanks Obama Koto

Well. Considering what an awful mess an excerpt of the translated material was. This would indeed count as progress.

[Kotonoha]

Wait, is this about Coke's translation

[Leftovers]

I think he's referring to this? Dunno if it's the same dude that Commie got to translate and who seems to have unknowingly reproduced a fragment of the Necronomicon that has already mindbroken several attempted editors.

Or maybe it's something in Mahoyo itself that drives men mad. Maybe that's why coke disappeared...

Don't forget the other one!

And yes, that's Commie's Mahoyo translator.

Please don't bully Coke.

[Mcjon01]

Yeah, let the dead RIP.

[Kotonoha]

Grandfather gently smiled like he was someone else, put his nad on my head, and said,

I don't like this version

Note:
“TV dinner vs Delivery”*
*{It’s the title in the archive of the game, so that’s what it is. Seriously, why the heck would you chose the term TV dinner over ready-made dinner or precooked dinner? I guess it makes sense in Japanese dictionary, but I’ve never heard of that term in my life.}

i don't like this one either

[Mcjon01]

The first one is actually a trick, which is why people kept failing the Commie editing test. Looking at the Japanese and changing "nad" to "hand" would fail you instantly, because an editor's job is to fix the translation that's there and not retranslate it. The only way to pass was to change "nad" into the proper English "nads".

So now you know why Aoko was calling her grandfather a baka hentai.

[Kotonoha]

What if it really was a single nad though? You can't just add an extra nad that wasn't there in the original text.

[Mcjon01]

That recontextualizes the entire game.

[Huitante]

Grandfather gently smiled like he was someone else, put his nad on my head, and said,

The common wish of quite a few type moon fans for Mahoyo to be an ero game expresses itself in the weirdest places and forms.

That's impressive that Commie are still doing something about it, I've already lost faith in their project after posts about unedited translation being really bad.

[T-Toh]

I give it all of 5-15 years to be done by then. Everyone in this forum will have mastered grade school level Japanese by average.

[Mcjon01]

And once we all know grade school Japanese, we can all start our own translation projects. It's gonna be a brave new world.

[Riku Noctis]

What about this one then?
