HI :)

PSYCHIC ECLIPSE has been released!!!

Cool-b has released more of their rankings! I’m glad to see more of the games I love on the extended lists~

Got my copy a little late, but here’s the final Cool-B ranking of Best BL Games!

Consider all this I will not support and encourage anyone to support Jast blue anymore and the shit they are doing.

Let’s break this done.

Jast is licensing nitro+chiral game, especially popular in the west and known for their darker content, (which is good even though most of them already had a fan patch) but honestly they are doing a horrible job with it.

Even ignoring that their game often tend to have errors and bugs, but them cutting up and trying to sell their games to minors is a big no no.

I’ve been in their server and they seem completely fine with having 14 years old children on a server for 18+ bl games (and yes I’m sure some played dmmd when they were 14) but were are talking about adults here trying to sell their games to children and not even caring. Also cutting bl games that are not mean to been cut in the first place, is dumb. They removed so much stuff from sweet pool the game didn’t even make sense to people who played it cut. Sure maybe dmmd works a little better but you won’t go far with their other games. Slow damage will be even worse because it’s so much darker and if you cut it you will just remove the whole plot, and all the poor people who will play it cut without even knowing, ruining the game for themselves. Do you need money that badly jast?

Secondly, I would like to talk about a big problem I have with their games: the translation. It’s bad.

They add unnecessary swearing, things like “bro” “dude” making them sounds like so edgy American teenager, I don’t know who is translating this but don’t add stuff that is not there in the first place, don’t try to make everything more “edgy” and don’t try to make Japanese people talk like some Americans, yes this is translated by americans with amrican audience in mind probably but please be more respectful toward the original. Sweet pool already made Makoto sounds stupid but dmmd was just a joke. the game is already seen as a meme but jast made it only worse, to a point you could not read it anymore.

And the last thing that made me especially mad the last few days: How Jast is handling slow damage. One pic of the game showed ones again unnecessary swearing and it was not even translated correctly (sure it can only be this one time but consider they disappointed me enough already, I doubt that)

What makes me really made is how they present the game: as some edgy game meme, what are you doing Jast trying to make a dmmd out of this, or what? Sure, people who didn’t play don’t know it but this game is so far away from being in any way funny or “edgy”. I really want to know if the person who tweets this shit even played the game. Giving the most stupid answers to question people ask. They are not your characters jast answer with that what n+c wrote in the game. Them making a joke character out of Towa, makes so MAD saying stuff like “he would read killing stalking” or “make you worse” WTF jast. Are you fucking stupid to portray a fucking mentally ill character with heavy trauma who is one step away from committing suicide as some fucking joke?? this is not dmmd, THE GAME IS NOT FUNNY, TAKE THIS FUCKING SERIOUS JAST.

Are they so desperate to sell this game that you need edgy 14 year old kids for your costumers? How about selling them for a higher price and taking things serious for ones jast?

I can only imagine a lot of people going into the game expecting some Aoba kind of joke character only to be hit with one of the most traumatic and darkest themes in a game I ever played.

Consider this I won’t ever judge people who still buy their games because some people only have this option.

But this makes me really said, fans deserve a good translation and a game that is treated seriously but all we get is…jast and their cringy joke.

No wonder n+c doesn’t want to work with them if their sell their games for such a low price, and I hope they never can translate lamento because they don’t deserve the game (go play the fanpatch version it’s great) if you want to support n+c directly go buy their games in Japanese, use the fan-translation or machine translation to play it if you can. At this point I don’t think Jast will ever change, and I will not support them in any way.

I scanned and translated Love&Destroy’s short CAGE comic ‘Goody Goody Vol.1’ in celebration of Konno’s birthday! (May 6th)

My scanner isn’t the best, so my apologies for the not-so-fantastic image quality (And tumblr’s resizing certainly doesn’t help). But I hope you can enjoy it regardless!

September 30th is the birthday of Konno’s favorite stalker kind-hearted gentleman, Kujo! 

I decided to go ahead and translate Love&Destroy’s short official comic Goody Goody Vol.2. (Yes, It features Yagasaki on the cover. But it DOES have Kujo in it!) Happy birthday Kujo!

Shitty quality scan warning as always.

TAKING BACK MY LIFE, FUCKERS.

Okay, now that’s out of the way.

So, I’ve been muttering ad nauseum for about 2 years about how shitty my life and how drained it makes me feel and about 237439287429387423 reasons why I have nothing to spare for the internet. Which, for the most part, was true. The situation IRL mostly hasn’t changed (though, fortunately, I’m making a steady recovery from my illness) and I doubt that it would at this point.

However.

I’m starting to run out of fucks to give about it. And THAT includes the various things that’s been isolating me from doing things I love and talking about things I love and otherwise just living my life.

So that’s a fuck you to you, fuckers who are totally not on the internet and will not see this post. I’M TAKING MY LIFE BACK. I’m reaching the midpoint of my life expectancy. I don’t have the TIME to not enjoy what’s left of my productive time on this planet. So yeah. So I will. Fuck this illness. Fuck the stress factors. Fuck the wanky internet. Fuck the anti culture. 2019, I’m going to take back what’s mine, and that’s my right to enjoy shit.

Which is to say, I’m coming back. To write about things.

What I will write about have a couple of caveats, in case people are surprisingly still reading this blog after 2 years of nonexistence.

1) It’ll probably be niche. This used to be a pretty niche interest マニア向け blog before YOI rolled over it, it’ll probably go back to being that way. 2) Probably not a lot of translations. I haven’t used those skills in 2 years, I’m sure the rust is thick in the Force. 3) I want to talk about more ladies. And more gay shit. And more shippy gay shit that probably will look like queerbaiting* OR Problematique Shit in the eyes of modern fandom. The last time I DID talk about such things it resulted in a nice conversation, but I still refrained from it due to worrying about anti culture. You know what? It’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever worried about. Life’s too short to worry about how my opinions of a fictional character/story is going to offend someone on the internet, goddamn.

TAKING MY LIFE BACK 2019, HERE I COME.

(This has been a somewhat angry but also kinda exhilarating New Years’ Resolution Post. I am letting go of my fucks.)

*I draw the line at stories where they shove random het into your face at the last possible second. Yeah, that’s unequivocally queerbaiting. Yeah, I hate it too.
