That third panel of the first comic just makes it. It's still funny if you remove it, but that panel included just makes it top tier.

Northern Boys and it's basically Comedy rap like 'haha here are some old dudes with funny voices being really vulgar' and then you hear Pete & Bas which is their more serious project

The northern boys popped up later and joined Pete and bas' label to release their music, but they are not the same people.

One of the northern boys does serious solo stuff alongside the funny tracks, so you're not entirely wrong, he's just not Pete or bas.

What is localization?

Embark on a global adventure through the lens of game localization! Beyond mere translation, we're diving into the art of cultural adaptation, preserving context, and inclusive storytelling. Join us as we unravel the intricacies that make games resonate worldwide.

🌏 Not Just Translating

Localization isn't just about translating words; it's about adapting the game for a global audience. Think cultural nuances, idioms, and regional flair. A good localization makes players feel right at home, wherever in the world they are!

🧐 The Importance of Context

Lost in Translation? Nah! Preserving the vibe is key. Jokes, references, and even gameplay elements might need a little cultural remix. It's important to find that sweet spot to make sure players get the intended experience without feeling like something got lost in the process.

🗣️ Bridging the Linguistic Gap

Each language has its unique structure and cultural context. Our teams work to ensure the narrative and dialogue maintain coherence and emotional impact. It's not just about words; it's about capturing the essence of the story in a way that resonates with the target audience.

🚫 Cultural Sensitivity in Characters

Character design and development must be culturally sensitive. What may be acceptable in one culture might be offensive in another. Localizers play a crucial role in ensuring that characters are relatable and respectful, avoiding stereotypes or other references that could be perceived as negative in specific cultures.

🌈 Inclusive Language and Representation

Localization efforts extend to promoting inclusivity through language and representation. This involves adapting not only the linguistic aspects but also addressing gender-specific language, cultural norms, and diverse perspectives. The aim is to create an immersive experience where players from different backgrounds can identify with the characters and narrative. This can be very challenging for certain languages due to grammar.

😂 Adapting Humor and Wit

Humor often relies on cultural references and wordplay, making it a challenging aspect of game localization. Translators must carefully navigate puns, jokes, and cultural references to maintain the intended comedic effect. This requires a deep understanding of the target audience's sense of humor while staying true to the original wit.

🧩 Consistency in Terminology

Maintaining consistency in terminology is crucial for a smooth and coherent gaming experience. This applies not only to translating words but also to ensuring that game mechanics, instructions, and lore are consistently represented across languages. Establishing a cohesive language system helps prevent confusion and enhances the overall gaming experience for players worldwide.

Nerds get it in their head that their Japanese animes all share and re-enforce their particular world view and when that's not the case they blame woke localization teams changing the script and pushing an agenda.

It's a whole thing.

and the reason I'm sure they're pretending to be former liberals is that it's the political counterpart to the evangelical grift of "I used to be a Sinful Atheist and listen to Rock And Roll while smoking reefer and HATING GOD until i was saved, PRAISE JESUS"

those freaks love their "I used to be the thing we all hate and fear" redemption grifts, and frankly, progressives forgetting that brown people are human and turning into chuds is vastly less common than conservatives being exposed to people who are different, realizing they've been lied to all their lives, and becoming more progressive.
