The Brittish goverment was unwilling to do anything for two reasons. First was the laissez-faire capitalistic ideology, that put the rights of property owners to make profits above human lives. Rent freeze was unthinkable and they even were unwilling to do proper relief efforts as free food would lower the cost of food. The second reason was distain for the Irish, and the thought that they were “breeding too much” and the famine was a natural way to trim down the population, aka genocidal reasoning.

This is why it’s important to stress it was not a potato famine. The potato blinght was all over Europe but only in Ireland there was a famine. The reasons behind it had nothing to do with potatos and everything to do with the Brittish.

Apparently what made Choctaw want to offer relief to Irish was the news about the Doolough Tragedy. Hundreds of starving people were gathered for inspection to verify they were entitled to recieve relief. The officials would for *some reason* not do that and instead left to a hunting lodge 19 kilometers away to spend the night and said to the starvqing people they would have to walk there by morning to be inspected. The weather conditions were terrible and many of them died completely needlessly during the walk thoroung day and night.

This apparently reminded the Choctaw of their own very recent (and much more explicit and bigger scale) experiences of ethnic clensing, where they were forcibly relocated. It was basically a death march and thousands of Choctaw died from the terrible conditions also completely needlessly.

In 2015 a memorial named Kindred Spirits was installed in Southern Ireland to commemorate the Chactow donation.

Then in 2020:

I know there is a lot of discourse (tm) around this right now but listen to me

If I were lean down and say “unfortunately the big beach ball for some reason fills you with such an unadulterated rage that is beyond human comprehension that you scream until you pass out, so mama had to remove the beach ball from the premises until you can better regulate your emotions” she would simply stare at me like I had 3 heads full of equal betrayal.

This has been on my mind eversince I read Homura’s Revenge like a year ago. Why did the fan translator(s) decide that Sayaka should know the specific shotgun which Homu was using.

In the original Japanese text, I highly doubt that she states the brand and model.

Like, She is a 14 year old Japanese high school student, while not impossible. That type of person is unlikely to have an interest in firearms. It makes more since to her just to say “shotgun”

the BO2 translation was bad. really bad. it translated dialogue with no particular care for what was actually intended, to the point where the story seemed to jump into broken japanese periodically. this extended to every other aspect of the game

game concepts were regularly written in nonstandard ways, text clipped out of the screen, typos were abundant, and most egregiously, the “welcome to multiplayer” text said “マルチプレイヤーへよ……..ｑ”
