Common, of all controverses, how has this not ended up in the general discussion?

It has been in the general threads. Although 'what are you watching now' or 'what random thing did you find on the internet/youtube' threads would be more appropriate. Or terrible translations in video games.

Dunno(or even what this is about), but I did hear tell that all GOG's twitter posts now belong to Pooh.
(he is posted in near every post GOG makes now, or so I heard)

The video he pointed to looks like a bunch of Text to speech of really badly translated games from the NES era. I didn't watch it all, feels too much like clickbait. But i do remember seeing the discussion on games needing better translations, though that was years ago and i know it would be impossible to find under GoG's search features.

But safe to say there's nothing else here.

EOF - End Of File

The arcade version Zero Wing doesn't even have any of that, as far as I've seen. Kind of a shame.

Bad Translation, who ever paid for the home port decided to go with the cheapest option iirc.

The video was the classic "All Your Base" from the terribly translated Zero Wing - it was something of a cult watch/"meme" in the early 2000s.

And I find it irritating when people come into threads they dislike just to complain about them and/or to act better than those in them.

If people dislike threads: imo they can and should ignore them....or even filter them out(via the various gog extensions).

To be fair we ended up with a far more memorable game than if they did the job properly. Much like House of the Dead 2, sometimes the awful parts just make a thing more endearing.

This comment is so good, it deserves a prize: A winner is you!

Victoly! :D

Conglaturation!!!

True.

Makes sense when you realize i posted it on the 6th. I find it odd, though, that it took 2 days to start seeing replies. Man, news dies fast anymore. And i thought people forgetting who's responsible for COVID after 8 months was bad.
