    brings me back to yakitate! japan, where every goddamn sentence had a pun in it and the subtitler had gone through the effort of explaining all of them in little fact boxes.

    like, they literally had to subtitle a horse eating bread because it makes the sound “horse”, which is a homonym for “delicious”. a fact i learned from those very subs.











  • in bethesdas case though?

    a similar thing happened with arma reforger a few years ago, it was supposed to be a tech demonstrator for a new engine but it turned out to still be the same codebase as operation flashpoint from 1995. the engine is solid but it’s super annoying to program for, they have this custom scripting language that’s completely batshit insane because everything is infix by default, and an ui toolkit that is written as c++ classes meaning the actual game has a compiler in it for a subset of c++. so the scripts can be edited at runtime but if there is an error in the ui the game crashes at startup. people were hoping they’d finally switch to something that made sense but no.
