ask and ye shall receive: When I write in Japanese I usually also throw it in google translate to double check that I'm not using the wrong kanji by mistake, and two years ago it gave me very dry and literal translations.

I was doing it today and noticed it had a pretty strong voice added to the output

For reference, to give a dry translation I would put: Lately I'm into in Hanafuda. Nobody seems to know anything about it here, so they probably wouldn't understand my brilliant jokes. I guess you guys will never be able to understand "Mister November and the Scary Cave".

I have a fluent friend who is able to check my work for me and give me tips on hitting the correct tone (I was going for a comically casual feeling), so I'm confident that I'm expressing the feeling I'm intending. While Google is also hitting the same emotion, I really don't like knowing that it's assigning tone in the first place.

To check if it was editorializing based on informal grammatical choices, I formal'd up the writing to be more polite and remove any non-standard vocabulary.

Back with another, but instead of “What it ALMOST looked like,” I changed today’s post to “What it WOULD have looked like.” Let’s talk about Ship of Shadows, which oddly, we’ve never discussed here. 🧐

Abbreviated as SOS, this was planned to be HeR’s 3rd installment of the Dossier games. It was announced to the fandom and already in the works, when suddenly, fans were notified through a forum post that the game would be delayed, only for the current CEO (Stuart Molder) to announce the discontinuation of the series in a press release. According to the press release, Molder stated that fans did not believe the games were up to the standards of their other work and that they wanted to continue to invest in their games that spoke well with fans. Blogposts would later confirm that HeR would not continue pursuing this series, but @story_retold did bless us with concept art of the box game. And I went pursing online to find several sites that had “lost media” from the game. These are concept art images that never made it to our computers 😭😭

Many fans speculated the game was much further in production than led to believe by HeR, as evidenced by the art that leaked. The characters had names, art drawn, environments created, and even a few puzzles already coded and developed, but apparently, “only the bones of it.”
