Here is a screen cap to emphasize the point, in case the video doesn't make it obvious enough. This is a night a day difference and could save you a lot of money in physical modding of SNES 2-chip models if you already own a rtink4k. Thanks Retrotink, you're a genius

I finally got around to testing the high pass iir filter for my super famicom using the retrotink 4k, and holy crap is the difference noticeable. I don't think I need to consider getting an edge enhancer anymore, it looks so good

My go-to soft drink order at the fast food drive-thru is almost always a diet Coke with no ice.

In at least 1/4 of these interactions, for some reason, the server mishears DR. PEPPER and get the wrong drink.

Is that just a "me" thing? Are intercom systems that poor?

A screenshot from Mitsumete Knight (PlayStation). My character has just met Sparkster, of Rocket Knight Adventures fame, in an ordinary street. In spite of the fact that the game is otherwise full of ordinary humans, he is still clearly a goggles-wearing possum in blue armour.

A screenshot from Mitsumete Knight (PlayStation). We fight on the cobbled street. Sparkster's proportions are more "realistic", but it's still recognisably him. His rocket pack gives off little gusts of air.

A screenshot from Mitsumete Knight (PlayStation). Still, in battle, Sparkster prepares for a special attack. The cut-in art shows him smiling, ready to strike.

It's all very bad, and I don't want to take away from that reality when I say this, but we've had an awful lot of "I told you so" moments and I'm tired of not saying that so I'm saying it.

You openly admit to speaking JP. You insult the people who did the work in a previous post, yet are unwilling to put in any effort. A perfect localization doesn't just "appear". I'm sure you would "appreciate" one but whining that it isn't perfect as if there is nothing you could do is disingenuous.

if we're allowed to tell everyone to pick up a pencil every time bad AI art rolls around, I think it's valid to say to pick up a Genki textbook every time a bad AI translation rolls around

28.02.2026 15:41 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Multiple translations exist for all sorts of games, and it's entirely allowable and encouraged to have people contribute their own works because the tools are out there now. If you care, then do the work to make it better

28.02.2026 14:45 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Then, by all means, fix it. The tools exist for a reason. If you care that much, be the change you want to see.

Nothing is universal, everyone is different, so acting like a specific thing you have encountered is "just how it is" ON THE INTERNET is foolish and makes you look ignorant at best or like a vagueposting engagement hog at worst.

AI in its current form is inherently contradictory.

Its proponents say that they wanna invest in AI technologies to "make the world a better place" but choose to ignore the fact that implementation of that tech is, in real time, actively making the world a worse place to live.
