The thing that annoys me in subs of foreign-language things, is where a very simple or recognisable sentence gets turned into something else. Not in a "localisation" way, where extra context is needed. Just in a weird way.

Subtitle: Thanks, @meejle@lemmy.world, I really appreciate it.

Audio: Ja.
Subtitle: OK, I'll see you there!

This seems a lot more common in "official" subs of anime, nordic noir, etc. Fan-subs seem a lot more accurate.

You want a hand getting rid of it? 😏

At least we'll get a delightfully stunted Jony Ive product film out of it.

Whereas on Reddit, it'd be used to justify a slippery slope. "We've already banned X and Y, so banning Z is just an extension of that."

We're deleting 'doors' as a feature. They just don't make sense.

I used to watch The Wan Show which I guess is more of an unfiltered look than the edited videos. But yeah, kinda.

There were numerous times when he'd openly criticise a colleague, or just like... undermine them? And then realise he was looking like an asshole and awkwardly laugh to try to pass it off as a joke.

It's very clear once you've watched a few episodes of The Wan Show that he's basically a massive asshole and a liability, surrounded by people desperately trying to rein him in.

Particularly more recently, I think? Like, I eventually stopped watching because the first 40 minutes of every episode was Linus trying to defend himself for the latest bullshit thing he'd done. 🙄

Friend created. Initials ("MJL") became word! Makes smile.

It's unsurprisingly one of those "can't say much about it without ruining it" games, but suffice to say:

It was very good and you should play it, but it was always going to be difficult for it to top the first one because you go into it having a fairly good idea of what's going on.

Also I just think this genre maybe works better with teenage characters than grown-ups, but that's just me. 😁
