Ultimately, this is a Discord for our games.
It doesn't really matter if the channel happens to be called "off topic", when people engage in politics it ultimately leads to arguments and meltdowns.
Then what happens? People have to get moderated which no one likes to do.
Or, it goes even further and it becomes something much messier and then suddenly, even though the company has had zero input in it, it gets dragged in under the guise of "The Pocketpair Discord".
So, the solution is pretty straight forward.
No politics in our little game Discord.

I believe it may have to do with the fact they disrespected the portuguese.
small berry
I believe it may have to do with the fact they disrespected the portuguese.
the whole papist thing is pretty fun ngl
hard peak
See, it wasn't really that. As you are well aware, japanese speak japanese that has subtitles, but for whatever reason, the creators couldn't be bothered to do the same for portuguese, opting for accented english, which I find quite odd.
small berry
as someone that doesn't speak Japanese I thank the gods they made that choice
following a show with 2 languages that you don't speak is just not practical for a broad audience
whenever you are able to stop reading subtitles, that's a win
if making a tv show for the mainstream is disrespecting the portuguese they shouldn't be so sensitive
the show isn't even about them
that explains why it infuriates me that some audiences have a fetish with using sign language in media to be virtuous, it kills the show
but I digress
hard peak
The part about sign language is agreeable, since unless the show is about deaf people or critical to the plot (A Quiet Place, for instance). I still argue that, if you do it for one, should be done for the other.
One way to mitigate that issue (Despite its historical accuracy) is to have scenes where the portuguese speak only among themselves in their native language, but when other characters are in the same scene , switch to english.
small berry
I would have liked to see some scenes in Portuguese between the monks for example, but I can agree with the showrunners thinking that might complicate things too much
hard peak
Avatar actually does another rectification that I find valid. If they were to explain that the english characters fully know their way around portuguese, then it could be explained fairly.
small berry
We do know that he's the only british there and that he knows portuguese I think
I think we're told early on that everyone speaks portuguese, cause those are the guys that came from europe
maybe not explicitly told, to be fair
hard peak
Well, in that case, the "Disrespect" could infact be explained away as a convention in the same way Avatar does it. (In the second movie, Na'vi speak "English" because Jake has become bilingual and it is not what they are actually speaking)
small berry
exactly
He's the first british to have made it to Japan, the only ones there are the Portuguese, the Japanese translator couldn't have been taught english, there would be no reason for it
but yeah, in general the show isn't about the Portuguese in the first place, it's about Japanese and we get plenty of it
altho I'm kinda mad at how simple the subtitles are compared to what they're actually saying
kinda does a bad job at being a translator, pun intended
I've noticed they regurgitate titles a ton when speaking, they refer a lot to the title of the individual they're speaking to, the subtitles tell none of that
hard peak
True that. Well, thanks for clearing up the "disrespect" of Portuguese in Shogun! I guess they thought it wasn't necessary since western culture isn't very sensitive with titles, disregarding the fact that in japanese culture, titles seem to be very important. (I am not going to insinuate I know japanese culture, because what I do know probably doesn't even amount to 2%)
small berry
True that. Well, thanks for clearing up the "disrespect" of Portuguese in Shogun...
yup, we're told the nono, you don't say Sama to him
( cause he's a lowlife gardener)
If people want to take it as an offense that they skipped on Portuguese and at least made the show in a language that can adapt to the region it's being aired, there's not much one can do to change that cause there's plenty of reasonable reasons to do that
it's pretty much like that

In Brazil, maybe, in Portugal, the idea of dubbing everything over has been dropped. Mostly.
That happens more in Spain tho.

True that.
small berry
it's based on the idea that everything needs to go through our own censorship boards and whatnot
thus dubbing is a national priority
albeit nowadays that's technically not the case
it's more seen as a way to promote the language
hard peak
Indeed. I believe the most common thing to dub around here is kids shows, probably because they wouldn't have the mental dexterity to read subtitles and pay attention to the show, and because it helps them learn their native language. (Ironically enough, I managed to be almost self-taught in English precisely due to subtitles)
One of the penalties is that it breaks what the original creators were trying to do (Martin Matin (French Rhyme) - Martim Manhã (Portuguese name that has no amusing sequence) ).
small berry
Yeah, I'm more of an advocate for original versions with subtitles
but I understand entertainment isn't always something you have as your primary focus in your daily life and that you can't be reading subtitles for every second tv show
It would be nice but not practical
I'm a chronic multitasker, I hate when my entertainment can't happen as background noise
unless it's really worth it
hard peak
While I am not one, I live daily with someone like that, even though their idea of "Background Entertainment" is... questionable.

Morning everyone
vague totem
is fine mostly.. some old popcorns and up will take it offensively and yell at civies who do that
but i'm like.. do you know the history behind a salute and how ridiculous it is in todays time period?
uhhh.... sir..?
for those who are unaware, a salute originated in mideval times for armor wearing knights to raise their hand and lift their visor - to show oncoming knights, they were not a threat (you've opened yourself up for a headshot) or to show you they were on the same side.
originally you could salute the enemy if you were trying to get home.. to say "no threat, trying to get home" but that didn't last long because who is going to let their enemy resupply and get another man back lol

i just realized why is pal blood teal?
night plume
Could be they have copper based blood.
Easiest answer would be to make the game more kid friendly. A game is considered less violent when blood doesn't look like blood.
Actual answer: I don't have the foggiest. The above are just my best guesses
frozen bluff
i just realized why is pal blood teal?
Lore reasons, I imagine. It's hinted a few times that they aren't natural creatures

"Just get it up and running again so we can make more money"
This mentality has always felt very self-defeating to me, but I also kind of love it. It's like this little encapsulation of what it means to chase money from a business owner's perspective.
"Why me pay to make your work possible when you can work to make your work possible? Me money stay in me pocket!"

Not really hate, I just understand the futility/stupidity of trying to profit without doing any maintenance on the things that allow you to profit.

For someone who has never played the games, would you recommend they watch the series?
vague totem
first person RPG's your thing?
the story, if you go and read the vault terminal entries, tell you all about Vault Tec and what they did - hilarious and horrific lol
queen vale
I honestly don't trust them to have not made it the same as every other film these days, lacking in actual content
night plume
The games seemed interesting to me, I just don't sit down and play games enough to pick up anything that takes dedication :/
vague totem
they break into it on the tv series too, and this isn't spoilers - vault tec was experimenting on people in these vaults, and some of them were hilarious.. like vault 69 and vault 96.. 50 females and 1 male in one, and 50 males and 1 female in the other..
night plume
Lol
vague totem
these vaults are sealed underground isolated living spaces, and in the fallout universe, nukes destroy the surface of the earth, and they can't leave these vaults until it calms down, so they can repopulate.. but realllllllly...
they make reference to this in the TV series as a hidden story.. if you played the games and knew this info, you laughed at "that scene" in the tv series
night plume
Okay, so the series is a side story, that can be viewed as an Easter egg to players who enjoyed the lore bits?
queen vale
They claim the TV show is canon and faithful to the lore

the biggest controversy was what Fallout New Vegas introduced - since the game wasn't produced by the normal studios who did the original games, people questioned the lore.. and for like 15 years it's been debated because even in Fallout 4, they don't make many references to what's happening in vegas, but in the TV series, it's all cannon
and it looks like the general storyline is going to focus on what new vegas introduced..
Spoilers: ||They introduce the NCR but in the TV series, they got their asses handed to them||
