obviously the sport itself hadn't changed since the previous entry in the series, so there was very little to test duirn actual gameplay

If this was EA’s position with their new engine soccer/wrestling games it explains a LOT ;)

The original incorrect Japanese was "I decided by card." Well, I/you/she/he/it/something.

A sound novel? I’m assuming instead of text like a visual novel you listen to recorded clips?

There's a link two panels back from the translation dictionary about it.
But here's also a video of one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9xDTa1aEoA

Seems to basically be a text adventure with sound effects. I wonder if something like Slay the Princess would be considered a modern version?

Intelligent and bright, they explored a world that was new and strange to them. They liked it, they thought - a whole world just for them! They were dimly aware that a God had created them, was watching them; they called out to him, thanking him in a chittering language, before running off.

I haven't been reading too far ahead and had the same reaction myself. I completely forgot how much the author assumes at least someone in the audience has never laid eyes on a video game before, which is probably for the best tbh.

playtesting a visual novel is probably a lot more boring than the stuff they were doing before, it's literally reading the same story over and over and over and making sure the spelling and grammar are good and that the flags and triggers work right

I originally thought "sound novel" was a game like this one, designed for blind people:

It even came with braille instructions!

He's saying this:


Basically an evil spirit that puts you to sleep. If you search for it, all you find is the comic book and Netflix adaption, so I'm not sure how common this concept is.

“Suima”? Cool name. Do you know if it’s a Western import like anime shinigami or just a parallel development?

What Hina says here in Japanese is 「うん、それがいいよ。」, "un, sore ga ii yo". That's something like, "Yeah, that is good/fine".

The thing is, I'm not sure whether Hina is saying "That's [a] good [idea]" or "That's okay/alright" in the sense that she's just consoling her sister through a difficult situation. Or maybe it's one of those things that doesn't make a difference in context-sensitive Japanese but it makes all the difference in English.

I decided to go with "It's gonna be alright" because an alternative translation of "sore ga ii" is "that's enough" and if I were in Hina's shoes here I'd be more concerned with consoling my sister than making a point about whether or not she plays video games. But that's just me and maybe I got this one wrong.

Nihongo ga tanoshii! Japanese is fun!


edit: better translation. first attempt in quote below.
