Erika, referencing ebenezer scrooge: You, boy! What day is it?!

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.

What do you mean I'm just using the browser versi-

I am reading Tim Curry’s 2025 memoir, Vagabond

and in it, he not only devotes a chapter to Muppet Treasure Island, but also references this very post

so, to recap

no, Tim Curry is absolutely NOT a Muppet; however

what she's seen the police do to the phantom thieves + especially joker only motivate her, albeit in the wrong direction, to fix the system. she is the kind of character who, even if given outside insistence that it is the wrong decision, is so stubborn that she is near incapable of turning back.

while the original game itself does not present it as a flaw that makes her nuanced, i see great potential in this for her character. strikers essentially puts this all on the table as if it IS a flaw though, before turning back on itself a little so as to not make too drastic a change in her character.
