Bro, we are cooked. The knight that dogs the prince's shadow like a dark and silent wraith just knelt to press his forehead to the prince's hand. Yeah, now he's uttering a prayer whose recipient is ostensibly God but in reality is the deified version of the prince that exists only in his mind. Aaand the prince just caressed his cheek to preemptively grant him absolution. I gotta... I gotta get out of here.

rassicas, you have to help me. what is Octavio's dialogue in the JP version of Splat2's final boss fight, at least at the start of it?

this has been driving me up the WALL because, specifically, of the "Gwa ha ha! I remixed Callie's brain!" line in English.

this line. is the one thing. that localization wants to haunt and beguile me with. i can reasonably doubt other weird additions and choices in splat2 for other reasons, but this WILL not leave me alone.

it implies /very/ specific things about Splat2 hero mode that conflict with other things about Callie and her behavior and the whole narrative. did localization just add this because funny music pun? are the same implications of brainwashing there in JP? there's lore and characterization implications at stake here and they won't let me rest

i remember there being a convo in the inkipedia discord about this exact line of dialogue

i havent compared the localization of the s2 base story mode to the JP as much as ive researched say, octo expansion. it looks like its worth comparing, considering the conflicting information about callie agreeing to go and her kidnapping and all that? but tbh i am not invested in the idols like other people are otherwise i wouldve done that sooner LOL the way i understand it is that callie was willing to work with the octarians, but had to be hypnotized/brainwashed when it came down to actively fighting against the new squidbeak splatoon. i know hypnosis and brainwashing are Not the same thing but we're working with cartoon tropes i guess. i can say "brainwash" is not exclusive to english localization. here's that "Gwa ha ha! I remixed Callie's brain!" line in JP:

ギギ… アオリチャン チョロイ！ カンタンニ センノウ デキタ！ Gwa ha ha...Aori-chan [Callie] is so simple-minded! I was able to brainwash her with ease!

センノウ=洗脳=literally "washing brain"

if it means anything, the hypnoshades are called サイミンサングラス saimin sangurasu, which seems to be a double play on 催眠 saimin, hypnosis, and saimin, the hawaiian ramen-like noodle dish

WAS NO ONE GOING TO TELL ME THERES A NEW STURGEON GENUS ?????

I’m like. Losing my shit

Sometime this year (2025) a scientific consensus seems to have been reached that the previously-obsolete genus of Sinosturio be used as legitimate classification once again. 

Reclassifications from Wikipedia:

The reclassification of kaluga (previously Huso dauricus) surprised me most of all as it leaves beluga (Huso huso) as the only member of genus Huso. I wonder if beluga will eventually be reclassed with Acipenser and genus Huso will become obsolete.

This must be what it feels like for gamers when a new dlc drops

Did you just see that video of Teto performing Mesmerizer during an official Miku concert? 🎶✨ Tbh I've never known that much about Vocaloid/UTAU except for a few songs, designs and animations I really like, but I'm happy for her 🙏🏻🎊🎉🎉 I started liking Teto a lot since I discovered this song, so I drew her!
