There's probably a better translation for that, but it can't be helped.

This one is from some time back, but just curious, was the original shikata ga nai (仕方がない)?

I've always liked using "it can't/couldn't be helped" in English over similar ones like "it is what it is".

Always wanted that put on my memorial park bench plaque if I've got any family left with the money to buy it after I check out. Put my name and a reminder of futility on something useful where people can plant their asses, eat lunch, or take a snooze. No need for a useless engraved stone in a field. Park benches are cool and good.

I hate "it can't be helped" for 仕方がない because it's almost always used to translate that line, and it sounds super stilted compared to normal speech. It's one of those phrases where if you read lots of manga/anime it becomes super recognizable and turns into something akin to the Wilhelm scream. "A ___ such as this / such a ___" is another one that always sticks out to me.

So is "a certain ___" but that's in the thread title so pretend I'm fine with it

It's more irreverent than the direct translation, but I've always thought "whatever, forget it" to sound way more natural while still conveying the same sense of resignation.

I wouldn't use "whatever, forget it" all the time, though. In English it's pretty much always disdainful to say that, whereas 仕方がない can be used positively or affectionately.

I understood it to be mostly an expression of non-surprise. Maybe something like "No surprise there."

"It is what it is" seems like a reasonable translation which is also a phrase regularly used in English.

The game must be in a pretty rear end state for them to push it another three months back. Strange that NEET didn't hem and haw over that.
Then again, maybe he didn't test the part where the protagonists dick keeps flopping out of their pants.

What year are we in right now abouts? Trying to figure out if releasing broken poo poo because it could get patched was a thing on consoles yet.

Thanks to you, I was able to afford Photoshop, which has editable textboxes.

Three months seems pretty standard in my experience for AAA games. All titles have internal release dates before public ones are announced, and often get delayed without the public knowing.

Aw man dude you should've just downloaded GIMP instead. I know it's not as feature-rich as Photoshop, but as far as NEET goes... it definitely suffices.

Oblivion came out in 2006 and introduced us to horse armour and other poo poo so that places us in a time quite a ways from games being released as unfinished garbage. Makes sense that Bean Quest got pushed back.

Also, lol at there being goons who don't just pirate Photoshop. There are some very nice stripped down versions that don't require a gig of ram to run.

The comic shows the date in the bottom left corner. We are currently in the very beginning of 2009; the story is probably around then too.

Shinmera posted:

I am not a fan of GIMP. They also need a better name.
Krita is nice - but like everything else I tried, does not support anti-anti-aliased text.
Finding something that did was super difficult. Eventually I settled on Photoshop.

I tried to use a free version. Photoshop CS2 has UI scaling issues I couldn't figure out how to resolve, which made it impossible to use.

Try running CS2 in a virtual machine. That solves most of the problems it has on modern environments.
