I miss the rains down in Africa.

Such a beautiful idea; after a long, parched stretch of time where you aren’t sure if your water supply will last you long enough to survive, the sky opens up and the rains finally fall. Your saved!

What the heck does blessing the rains do? Extra damage against the undead?

I used to play an MMO called Shards of Dalaya that was a modified EverQuest. Anyway, Felwithe, the High Elf town, was named Athica in it and there was a server event where there was a raid there. One of the comments in chat was “I bless the raids down in Athica.” Always thought that was clever.

I’d like to say this to singers…

No, maybe you wrote this in your lyrics sheet and planned to say it. But…what you actually said in the song was…

I remember being in a hotel once, and scrolling through channels and saw a concert channel playing a Bruce Springsteen show. And he’s sitting at the piano doing a little monologue about the song, and he doesn’t say douche, but refers to a cover (the Manfred Mann version) and it using “feminine products” instead of deuce, which is what he wrote.

I don’t know what Manfred said, but even the Boss thinks he said douche.

So Bruce Springsteen wrote the original version of “Blinded By the Light”. But Manfred Mann’s version was the one that was a huge hit. And Mann’s version does say “wrapped up like a douche” (versus Springsteen saying “revved up like a duce”).

I saw an interview with Springsteen where he speculated that was the biggest writing mistake he’d made. If only he’d said “wrapped up like a douche”, maybe his version would have sold better.

they essentially strip the official subtitles of any fuckery or mistranslations rather than reworking from the ground up, so its more like a hybrid of official and fan subtitles. HorribleSubs did this for many years before them, so a lot of their work is out there too.

Basically the original Cave Story fan translation versus the official one done for Cave Story+.

Unless you speak the language they original VAs are speaking: How would you even know if they’re doing it good?

I’m reaching a point where I’m exclusively watching dubbed. It’s gotten better in the past decade now that anime companies have a bigger budget to hire better trained voice actors.

Frieren and Delicious in Dungeon English VAs are amazingly spot on.

Depends on anime and country. English dubs just sound off in nearly everything to my non-native ears. Brazilian dubs, on the other hand, often hit a good spot, but that could be nostalgia and/or bias. Portuguese dubs, on the other hand… Dear lord, just no.

That used to be the norm, but many newer anime (and older popular ones) have great dub VA talent.

The original VAs dont speak my language. Why even have sound if I’m not going to understand what they say.
