I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.
I always assumed that was some sort of Japanese idiom that just completely failed to translate.

It can't fail to translate if it makes perfect sense as a metaphor. It may or may not be a Japanese idiom, but it didn't fail to translate.

One of my favorite things to do in Watchdogs 2 and Legion was trying to steal a car from a secure area using the deliberately clumsy remote-control drive function while standing well outside that area and watching through a security camera. The enemies all go on alert because something is obviously wrong but they can't tell where you are so they just run around in panic screaming "I'LL FIND YOU!" while the car lurches around banging into walls and occasionally running someone over

for the purpose of the bingo would a post like "I am never going to beat this loving game" count as post about beating a game?

Yes it can? Like, cultural context exists. Just because the metaphor still makes some degree of sense doesn't mean it flows well when translated. That's why localization exists.

raiden’s name literally means “thunder and lightning” and he’s named after the shinto storm god

N64 had 3 good games and I'm pretty sure ps1 had more than 30 good games. I think the entire n64 library is something like 400 games and theres probably something like 4000 ps1 games idk

I feel like the translator / localization team had Blade Runner fresh in their minds the week that they worked those lines.

What is your avatar from / who is that character? I tried reverse image searching but to no avail. The combination of that character, art style, and your username tickles me in a weird and cool way

The N64 had some all-time fan favorites but beyond them a really small, unimpressive library. The worst library of any major system.
