Dumb f**k burglar. https://news.yahoo.com/alleged-burglar-breaks-florida-jewelry-203041608.html Shame about the back of the truck and the store door though.......

Playasia is usually very good about saying what languages a game has on it.

English is probably the most polyglot language there is. It is also very willing to readily coin new words/phrases - which is one of the reasons it serves as the scientific lingua franca.

While there were no video games when I was young I was playing chess in the third grade. And read my first H.P. Lovecraft the next year.

I used to work with a slew of newly arrived Vietnamese immigrants (they had their green cards and everything) and they didn't have a word for hamburger so they just started using that word. I always found it amusing to listen to them talk in Vietnamese (which is a very smooth flowing language to listen to) and they would break their flow by interjecting hamburger mid-stream.

Despite the subsequent excursion to cloud cuckoo land I was merely asking why they would do it - not that they shouldn't.

So this is some nit-picking quest to prove in your mind that I am some sort of elitist in your bizarre (IMHO) world view? Everyone else seemed to snap to what I was asking rather than your focus. D00d - you need to get a non woke life. Would you be assuaged if I bought some game that I can't play? 'Tis a strange strange world you live in Master Jack.

I finished this game yesterday - there is a lot to do and the overworld map is huge. (There are no dungeons in the game.) If you like SRPGs there are far worse games to engage in. I clocked in with just under 180 hours of gameplay!

Infuriating is also similar to irritating. if i was furious I would have gone on a rant about how it was deceptive and shouldn't be allowed. As most of the responses indicated the thread was asking people why they thought this situation occurred. i i

A strange video of a strange one hit wonder.

There was a reverse situation concerning this very famous song from 1962 - none of you were (as far as I know) alive and cognizant then - but I was and it got constant airplay for a long tine. The song has nothing to do with the dish Sukiyaki but it was recognized that the word would be recognized by English audiences. It actually was historically significant since it acted as a presage (in the lesser - but good usage) to Japan's re-entry on the world stage as a responsible country. Kyu Sakamoto was the perfect conduit for this since he was so damn clean cut and always smiling. He was to later die in a plane crash in 1985.

The only time I bought a Japanese game thinking it had an English translation and it wasn't there was because Playasia said it was there - so that was kinda on them rather than moi. I am not bent outta shape about it - just frustrated because I really really like SRPGs. And it should be pretty clear by my OP that i more found it more odd than being "too bent out of shape" about it. j

....there is no English translation in the game itself? I have often thought it odd and downright infuriating if it is a game I would like to play if it had English in it.

I just finished Unicorn Overlord. Freakin' awesome game - I put in almost 180 hours to finish it.

On a very distantly related note (as it were) here is a black humor song by The Velvet Underground from 1968.

A new business opportunity - cat delivery service. https://fox5sandiego.com/news/utah-couple-accidentally-ships-pet-cat-to-california-in-amazon-return-package/

You just like Castle Anthrax and that bad bad naughty Zoot,

That is a real nightmare when it happens - you not only lose your dwelling but everything in it. Goodbye video games!

There is always the reverse - some one comes home to their now non-existent home - which has been demolished by mistake.

Oops. https://news.yahoo.com/california-woman-bought-vacant-lot-175640970.html. While the woman is being kinda weird about this "special" lot right next to another one a simple exchange is not a good answer. The company that build the house is totally in the wrong. They need to offer a pot of cash in addition to the lot exchange - what that amount is I don't know. But tearing down a new house is really stupid.
