watching star trek tos in german is the funniest shit, because they really just rewrote the whole dialogue in some parts... and the german version has a whole different meaning.

Like, you watch the original and the german version back to back and compare and sometimes there is not even a faint similarity in the topic they are talking about

#star trek #star trek tos #star trek german version #german dub #raumschiff enterprise #tos #example coming soon #it is really a shitshow sometimes #like the german dub implied lgbtq+ scotty at some point #and i was like ohhhh #i switch to the english version #no sight of this line of dialogue in the original #what were they thinking i ask myself

Why would you—That's not—I just wanted to ask for help, why did you have to go and make it awkward???

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #xue yang #Its such a relief to not have to draw so many characters once again.#Redrawing the specific font from the English translated mdzs books was surprisingly fun!#Maybe I'm alone in this...but I think characters switching to a different font of speech for *emphasis* is peak comedy #you can't communicate voice changes of sound very well in non audio forms so this is the best I can do.#Anyways...rip Xue Yang. You finally meet your idol and he brushes you off #Rather— he doesn't live up to the expectations you built in your head #Kind of an on going issue there Jester (I refuse to call him king or sir)#XY is constantly making people out to be the versions he needed them to be to feel justified in his actions #but struggles to pivot when confronted with the fact that these ppl are *more* than just one surface reading!#wwx doesn't actually think xy is flirting. He's just tired of all the fake fans + wants to get out of this convo.#button mashing the A button to skip the unskippable cutscene #Lan Wangji is in the next comic btw. I've missed him dearly. I'm sorry he's been gone so long </3 #edit: poorly spelt MDZS strikes again. This is why I need more time to write my comics. So I can actually proofread B*(#edit2: I cast 'Power of Technology' and fixed my error. Everyone reblog this version instead please

a design of a poster for the 1926 film the student of prague, which is one of my favourites [id in alt text]

#the student of prague #conrad veidt #artwork #blood tw #a brief pause from my regularly scheduled gwyndea posting because i have been wanting to draw something inspired by this film ever since i #saw it months ago and i am currently in the middle of another detailed linework piece (of gwyn and dea. obviously) so i thought it would #make for a nice change of pace :D ive asked for the dvd for my birthday both so i can show my parents and because it was such a pain to #watch the first time (my german isnt good enough to read the intertitles yet so i had to keep switching between the original and a video #with english subs any time there was text on the screen)#it’s so good though it was absolutely worth it. i still need to watch the 1913 version i have been so slow at getting around to it

okay so in french baguette means wand/rod and it’s not solely used for bread like in english

but even so seeing red call it his ice baguette makes me cry laugh

#the fire rod is la baguette de feu #I’ve been comparing the French and English versions #and BOY #DO I HAVE COMMENTS ABOUT IT #the English one went really gay #like #REALLY gay #i can see why everyone bitches about it now 😂#star got the Spanish one and we’ve been going through them all #shadow link is link noir #but man they made vio into such a french asshole #he goes ‘pfuuuu’ all the time 😂#loz #four swords #red link #four swords manga #i feel like the English translation took the route of vio being like ‘I’m different than all the other links’#and the French one went ‘im literally better than all of you you guys fucking SUCK later losers’#but also the English one took out a lot of foreshadowing and for what?????#im also having a hard time with this version of français #i was raised with apparently a unique version of quebecois #they also switch between green and vert for green #it’s interesting #at one part where they think green is dead for the first time #blue just goes ‘NOOOOOOON GREEEEEEN’#and it took me a second cause I was like sooooomething ain’t right here

Not me creeping up to the wordcount of the fourth longest book ever written

#A Reflection of Starlight #AROS #valvert #fanfic #writing #Hey I switched back to LibreOffice again after setting up my new computer #(RIP my old computer's installation of MS Office 2009)#And also my old computer in general as it is now giving me the blue screen of death upon boot #but ANYWAY #does anybody know how to make LibreOffice stop highlighting formatted areas? BC with Dark Mode it's highlighting white text #which makes it impossible to read my footnote and page numbers #Also I CANNOT believe this program was coded to be so that 'Ignore' and 'Ignore All' options only do so for the CURRENT SESSION ONLY #Like what in god's name???#I spent 3-4 hours reformatting AROS after converting it only to learn that all the 'errors' I told it to ignore just popped back #the second I reopened the document like jesus christ #Why even offer those options if it doesn't do it permanently for that document file #HHHHHHHhhhhhhHHHHHH #I then spent another several hours being forced to change the language formatting to French for all the French bits #JUST so it would stop underlining all of them in red #And there's no way for me to get rid of the underlining on things like cut off bits of dialogue #bc they are NOT proper words and I refuse to add them to my Dictionary (thus polluting it) just to get rid of them #Ugh #So anyway remember years ago how I joked about what if I accidentally wrote a fanfic longer than the source material itself #That being one of the longest books ever written (technically THE longest book ever written #if we're counting the FRENCH version of it and not the English translation #And yeah I know I technically split AROS into 3 books but that was only for reader convenience #It's still one book in my heart #And also because I think it would be REALLY funny to surpass Hugo's wordcount #Which is entirely plausible bc in English it was only about 531k so I only a little over 100k off and I think I can easily make that #with the material I have left to write but is already mostly plotted out

OJ2 my beloved/hated

#how do they expect me to fight against Midnight when Mic rolls up to the arena saying 'you've looked after me so much Midnight'#I can't make him fight her cmonnn they're buddies look at them #When the Mic DLC came out it destroyed my entire game and I couldn't save anymore and I had to start over #my Switch could NOT handle him #but I don't play the Switch version anymore cause paying for online is stinky #I have matched with one person today and I lost tragically #why is it way more embarrassing to lose as Mic than as any other character #to the Nomu who beat me to a pulp a minute ago I am sorry I didn't mean to disconnect it was my wifi i promise i didnt rage quit i promise #I play on English for the sweet dialogue between the trio but this comes with a catch which is that I am forced to listen #to mic say the most cringe lines you could imagine when he attacks #does anyone still play OJ2 besides that Nomu who just eviscerated me. does anyone want to fight. i'll let you be aizawa

That lil' torture session turned Izzy on so much he had to switch to singing in French afterwards.

#I just noticed he started singing the English version at first #and only switched to the French one afterwards in the end #that morsel of Izzy's sexuality canon was so delicious #I mean we all knew but still #Izzy hands #ofmd #our flag means death #ofmd s2 #ofmd s2 spoilers

All songs are in simlish if you have bad enough auditory processing

#music #songs #sims #simlish #could listen to a song on loop for years and not be able to name a single lyric in it #adhd #auditory processing disorder #yes I’m listening to the radio by endlessly switching through stations again #hey soul sister sounds like they should make a sims 2 simlish version of it #I unironically listen to some sim playlists and also can understand some of the simlish better than the English versions

California sent me a postcard the other day being like "Hey just to remind you you are in fact registered for this upcoming election, here's several ways you can get your vote in and a hotline and website to help further if you need more help on the topic." It flat out rules and while I wish the state had RCV I fundamentally cannot think of a better system for handling the voting part of elections, California is consistently good and in my decade of residency here has only worked to find ways to make it better.

All of which is to say I am going to [redacted] the Ohio Secretary of State for their voter purge bullshit

#Hell I switched parties twice this year and they've had no trouble whatsoever keeping track of it #(voted in the R primary cause a vote for Haley as a fuck you to their main guy seemed more valuable than worrying about the D's ticket)#(And also CA's jungle primary system means that the only difference between the two versions of the primary ballot was that office)#tbf that belief holds up in retrospect despite the lack of consequence that vote had too #But it was definitely more of a 'why not to hell with them' than a serious belief it was gonna pay out #Also also just to be clear the version they sent me is in English because that's my primary language #But they send out this literature in whatever language you request they send it in when you register

it's kind of weird to me that they didn't bother releasing sushi and tempura internationally at all but at the same time i'm kinda glad they didn't cuz like. yo-kai watch was financially failing in the west by the time 3 released. i feel like if they had released sushi and tempura the franchise would've completely tanked before we got sukiyaki which would've sucked. honestly if anything i feel like it's more surprising that we got all three versions of 2 instead of them just releasing psychic specters but tbf i think yo-kai watch was doing well in the west when 2 released. 2 is just inexplicably what killed the franchise despite being a masterpiece-

#puppy rambles #yo-kai watch #yw3 #yw2 #idk. i have a lot of thoughts on this stuff #still upset i didn't find out 3 released in america until a while after it did :/ could've gotten a physical copy if i'd found out earlier #but alas. i'm just stuck with a boring digital version. i mean the digital versions of yo-kai watch games are better but like. still #i never got maginyan in blasters even though i could've. the code or whatever was on the receipt but my mom bought it for me #from the nintendo website. and i don't think she checked it and i don't think i found out that was where it was until a bit after i got it-#i did get machonyan and jibanyan t/komasan t's codes entered though so i can get them on any playthrough now #unless i put the sd card in another 3ds since apparently it's system-based instead of sd card based??? which is really stupid #but you can probably bypass that with cfw and i do plan on modding my 3ds eventually #it'll just be a process cuz i don't have an sd card slot on my computer and idk if my moms would be willing to help #so i'll probably have to get a separate sd card reader or whatever. which i do think my moms would be okay with i mean #it's my system and they're cool with piracy lfskdjfjkfsdkljfd-#my moms are so cool <3 i just wish i could get them interested in yo-kai watch but they don't seem to care lfskdjfkjsfdjlksfd-#they determined the battle system doesn't sound fun but i might've just described it badly #i mean tbf. it is very annoying sometimes. especially when my healer just will not heal the other yo-kai #''DO YOUR FUCKING JOB TATTLECAST STOP LOAFING'' -me playing 2 #that being said if 1's switch port ever releases in america i am totally playing it on the tv #i WILL force my moms to watch me play funni ghost game whether they like it or not /lh #if we do ever get 1's switch port i hope they make it a collection of some kind with 2 and 3 remasters too i would buy that in a heartbeat #i mean obviously i will buy any american-released yo-kai watch stuff in a heartbeat aside from maaaaaybe y-school heroes #(i'm sorry y-school heroes fans i just cannot get into it. from concept alone it sounds like i would not enjoy it)#maybe sangokushi too if we ever get that but i feel like we probably won't #idk if the franchise it's a crossover with is popular enough in america for that #i hope we get more english yo-kai watch content once ghost craft releases. kinda feel like it's testing the waters tbh #i know it's seemingly just a spiritual successor but still #i do hope that it being a spiritual successor doesn't mean yo-kai watch is over. i doubt that it will since like #punipuni still gets semi-frequent updates

“Nadel und Faden” (or Needle and Stitch for you english speakers) is such a Mind coded song

German:

youtube

English:

youtube

#I haven’t listened to the english version bc I think I would cringe my eyes out like with every dubbed german thing #but fr this is a mind song to me #like he’s blaming the kid for their lack of motor skills but their literally just a kid #basically if u haven’t heard it (I don’t blame u) it’s about an adult bringing way too serious equipment for something minor #like a child gets a scrape and the first thing they suggest is stitches #and then blaming them for not being able to do their own sutures #this may come across as me infantalizing heart but i think this is just how mind acts not just to heart #he panics in serious situations and goes to the most dramatic solution like the “I’ll cut you loose” line and all that #just like how needles and stitches are unfit for a simple scrape; killing your emotions is not the correct way to deal with depression #anyways I just bought harvey’s new eyes on switch and I’m real excited to play it :]]]]]]]]]#chonny jash #cccc #chonnys charming chaos compendium #cj mind #harveys neue augen #harveys new eyes #edna and harvey #edna bricht aus #tree mumblings

Hi lulu, so i was wondering if have you played Far cry new dawn in French, does roger talk in another idiom?

In spanish he stills talk in french

Hi! Yes, I played New Dawn in French and Roger has the same Québécois accent he has in English. It even seems he’s played by the same actor, Vincent Leclerc, whose name appears among the other French voice talents in the credits.

As for some of the (Canadian) French words he uses, such as “osti”, “tabarnak”, or “caulisse”, they’re typical slang/swear words from Québec that we don’t use in France, so they kept them in the French version and they sound as funny and exotic as they do in English.

It’s rare that Far Cry characters who speak with a non-American accent end up also having an accent in the French version of the game, but Roger thankfully kept his!

#it’s a good question because yeah sometimes they have to use another language #like in the film 'ghost dog: the way of the samurai' the character played by isaach de bankolé speaks french but no one understands him #they had to change that in the french version so he speaks an african language called yoruba instead #the actor is fluent in it because from what I’ve read it’s his parents’ native language #many french characters in disney movies have an italian accent in france #and the ‘'mi casa' is french for 'front door'’ joke in big hero 6 became ‘'mi casa' means 'door' in german’ in the french version #also I’ve recently realized they switched to english much earlier in the original intro scene of inglourious basterds #in the french version it’s only when landa is lighting his pipe that he suggests they continue the conversation in english #then in the film all english-speaking characters talk in french but french people also still speak french haha #far cry new dawn #roger cadoret #I watched a bit of spanish roger and while he does use canadian french words it didn’t sound like he had an accent to me #I may be wrong though #I also watched a bit of roger in the other languages and here’s what I found #german: french accent and words #italian: no french word or accent #japanese: no french accent and probably no words (I’m not sure)#russian: no accent (I think) but french words
