I'm going to speak out-of-turn ... but I believe that what SamIAm really needs to see from you is a large chunk of that 60% translation working in-game without running out of either compressed or decompressed space.
SamIAm is an absolute "treasure" to this community, and has been working on translations since at-least 2006 ... but the poor guy has kept on working with incomplete scripts, or translations that would break badly on re-insertion into the game.
Those are "programmer" issues ... not "translator" issues.
Yeah, I think it's all fine and that's what I wanted to eventually do with what I already have. I just decided to wait till Sam finished off Xanadu work before even considering to resume this project and with my own other things to do, I left it in the back burner for "some day." I haven't heard back on his availability as well, so another reason I didn't return to it.
So...did you guys finish the Xanadus since we're on the subject ? I haven't been visiting here for a few months, I'm out of the loop...
I (thankfully) missed those "drama" years ... and in this particular case, it's just a thread where many old-and-seemingly-abandoned projects are being mentioned as possibilities for the current-generation of translators to pick up and finish.
There's been little negativity towards you.
He created a profile post of me to talk his shit. He mentioned I picked up the ED project from David, so it indicates he visits (AKA spies) my site now and then (lucky me). He also barked about XSEED Games cheating me, that it's "confusing," not understanding it, and naturally denying wrongdoing out of spite, the usual troll sour grapes, etc. I'm sure that's all returned now that he restored RHDN.
Basically, I used to hang on his TransCorp forum, we were somewhat friendly, until one day when he got impatient with The Whirlpool not immediately posting news of his project update. He joked that they're "sleeping" over there. Next thing you know, Wraith, who ran it after Spinner8 left, announced he'd be shutting down the site, was tired of impatient pestering like that as a whole, etc. There were about 20 pages giving him a little shit on his forum about pissing Wraith off and causing the shutdown, that's about when I joined in to also josh with him about it in a playful way, I didn't think I was mean, but he completely got insulted, thin-skinned as he is, retorted angrily, so I let him have it, then he deleted my post, and locked the thread calling me a "teenage drama queen" (for 2 posts!!!). I deleted my account in protest to him going Nazi power mod and called it out on my old RIGG forums.
Anyway, I was really surprised he couldn't take a little roasting about the situation... I wasn't that bad, and we were friendly up to that point like I said, but he just lost his temper and I said f#ck that, time to take my membership elsewhere. It wasn't till years later with the extortion threat that came from some Japanese teacher there that led to me demanding the removal of my patches which they complied, only to have a debate months later and reverse the decision where they put all my patches back, and NightCrawler created that profile post of me for his attacks and to turn the tables from the bad behavior of his members, etc.
Yeah, wasn't worth taking the tangent on this shit, but it's why I wouldn't have cared if he couldn't restore RHDN or not. He's an arrogant prick with too much pride that can't just apologize for something insignificant and leave it at that. I used to defend him from D-BOY telling me he's an ahole all the time just randomly in IM, only to have to eventually eat my words. So yeah, he obviously made more enemies given the impostor Romhacking.net Twitter account that fooled even you I see. Those RHDN types also did an impostor account of me years ago, that Byuu guy was part of it. They're stupid like that.
I just wish people could stop being dicks and be kosher with one another, for such a small group of folks (generally speaking vs other consoles fans) we have a wide array of cunts.
Of course Nightwolve, this is not directed at you.
Well, I've gotten caught up myself in feuds I'd rather have avoided, and played tit for tat. Reality is, some people you were better off never meeting and are just incompatible with... I never should've had anything to do with Jeff Nussbaum, Tom-chan Lipschultz, and a lot of other people in gamer circles, but I looked for free translation work and combined with the 99% freeloading, abuse, neglect, etc. by translation patch consumers, it's not worth it in principle... I have a negative view of gamer culture in general these days, and many in it, I find it disgusting frankly.
