I was just thinking about if you set Animal Crossing NH's language to chinese the animals still have their voices but it's almost-intelligible chinese

its clear that the speech system that generates their voices speaks mandarin

you actually got me to break out my 2-years negelected animal crossing save to check how good the english is. i can't compare tom nook because i built the town hall but i could make out isabelle saying "Speaking of" and "Haven" (my island name) perfectly. blathters' "Might there be something with which I can assist you?" and "Jolly good" is completely intelligible. some words probably sound better than their counterparts depending on the language that you pick.

maybe mandarin fits the way animalese works better, idk

Animal Crossing sounds each letter phonetically iirc, in some cases it'll end up almost coherent and in different languages it likely depends on the writing system.

People think elves are exploited proles, not true. Think about it. In every other story, the elves are the ruling class. The beautiful aristocrats who look down on the other races. Santa's workshop is rehabilitation through labor, established by some hitherto unknown fantasy realm that has undergone a ML revolution. That's why Santa seeks no money for the toys, it's not about extracting profit

santa started out as a cleric in antiquity, morphed into a feudal folklore character, then became a capitalist pr man and finally embraced the heavenly wisdom of xi jinping thought as ordained by the laws of historical materialism :ussr:

explain how your "mutual aid" work is meaningfully different than a church basement charity and then I'll be able to effectively respond to this nonsense
