There are plenty of things I would do to rebalance GE (rune cost on certain monsters, making some Rune Knights usable and not questbait, making certain skills more useful, having the option to get higher level monsters for more rune points or whatever the hell they're called), but I wouldn't include that in a straight translation patch. Looks like he nerfed Meteor Doom and changed what monsters/classes get them. Lots of people would be playing GE for the first time using this patch, so it's a bit of a shame that this is their first exposure to it.

Moron.  This is what #blackbrunch REALLY looked like:

Rocky: you do know what an A-bomb is, right?
Bullwinkle: A-bomb is what some people call our show!
Rocky: I don't think that's very funny...
Bullwinkle: Neither do they, apparently!

As a menu translation, the Brigandine GE patch is actually okay. It has the original font for the regular Brigandine Knights but uses a weird more angular font for everything else. The other text in cutscenes looks kind of ugly and hard to read and the script itself is filled with minor typos, which is a shame. The monsters come with unique names, which wasn't a feature of the patch but one of GE, but it does make a bit of a difference in terms of personalizing your army.

I feel like he changed the names of some castles for some reason but I haven't played the English version of Brig in forever so I can't comment on whether they really were switched. Witches are now Vixens and Cai is now a Runeweaver, Devils are now "Imps", hellhounds are now "Garmrs," so the translator being a Christian and not wanting any hellish/Satanic imagery is really showing through (and the Missing Link thing is really funny). I feel like the translation itself is kind of awkward, like the dude's first language may not be English. Also yeah, he changed the Silence spell to Dumb (literally making you too stupid to cast spells), which really is dumb. I'll continue on with this. I don't think this will take too many liberties with the actual story translation but we'll see. I haven't gone far enough to see the gameplay changes, but if Meteor Doom is really like a 155 power fire spell now that is super lame.


THAT FONT. MY EYES.


Very strange translation, derisive does not mean what he thinks it does.


I knew Imps were racist!

It felt like Don Lemon has had a horrific public gaffe for every single major news story of the last year. It is shocking he still has a job.

Actually, an archaic meaning of the word dumb is unable to speak.  If you think this guy isn't a native speaker, then it wouldn't surprise me that he might use a technically correct word that wouldn't carry the connotation he's looking for to a native speaker.

Well, the spell description says something to the effect of making your mind hazy and slower such that you can't cast spells, so it really felt like it was using the dumb (stupid definition) as if it were a verb. A Lisa Simpson-esque dumbening, if you will.

I was going to say the same thing Excal did (with more dick jokes), but I guess that was giving credit where it wasn't due.

As someone currently in an editing position with a newspaper, I'm going to say the temptation to do things like that is always there.

Every time I respond to an adversary's testimony, I have to resist this.

(Mostly I'm responding in writing so it's easier to not do, but god damn do I want to.)

Bonus fun fact: I have been accused of fraud by an adversary.  In writing, no less!  Had a great response written out, but never got a chance to use it because his pleading was rejected by the court, because he is an idiot.

Not for what is said, but who said it.  George, you don't get to have Jar-Jar do a minstrel show and have a race of Chinese stereotypes and then tell people they're being racist if you don't acknowledge you dragged out some 1940s era shit and threw it up on screen.

Fox news has been crazier than usual lately as it said that Birmingham (Second biggest English city) is 100% muslim and that Chariah applies in some zones in Paris and some other really dumb stuff. Paris decided to sue.
I wonder, why haven't more people sued Fox for spreading BS? Is this really hard under US law?


BTW Pope Francis went from Decent Enough Pope to Worst Pope as he literally said the West are like nazis for spreading birth control to poor countries. (I don't have a link yet but I've seen him say the words on TV)

Worst Pope is a pretty tall order when there's an actual Serial Rapist Pope and Pirate Pope on the books. (Amazingly these are not the same person.)

Wait why didn't I know about a Pirate Pope and why hasn't he appeared in a videogame already?

I'm sure Pirate Pope will be in a currently developing Assassin's Creed game that will not work at launch.
