subpar anachronism posted:That's fascinating, I hadn't heard of it as a name before! My understanding of Japanese names is that they can be basically any combination of kanji read in whatever way the parents want. That's why there's furigana on her name, despite the kanji being not particularly unusual -- because her parents could have pulled the Japanese equivalent of naming her "Kayleigh" or "Braedyn."

Lodin posted:Lol what a poo poo company. Still using tiny CRTs in 2004 or whenever this timeline takes place. This is from a few months ago but fun fact: I worked a QA testing job in LA for a major AAA game company in 2010, and they still used CRTs for the vast majority of the testing stations. It even looked quite a lot like this: Except each station also had a computer, and a VCR. PS3 and Wii consoles didn't have nicely built-in recording software like Xbox 360 did, so the cheapest way for the company to enable us to record footage was to literally record it on VHS then upload them to a computer. e: Tohru's interview process is fairly accurate as well, at least compared to how things were done over here at the time. In-person talky interview, then they'd take you into a room with a lovely CRT connected to a console, they'd give you an old build of a recently-released game, and have you physically write bugs down about it. e2: the inaccurate part so far is that the second job for the tiny shovelware company pays crap. Generally smaller game companies have only a handful of QA testers, and thus pays them fairly well since they need to be more skilled. It's the big corporations that have teams of several dozen testers that pay them like poo poo cus who cares, we're going to replace you the first time you break a plate anyways.

Yeah NEET's reaction is that she has a "pretty" name but is astoundingly ugly, not that it's necessarily a weird name or that she called herself "princess" as in the title.

On the other hand, Hime doesn't read as a "pretty" name in English. I think Princess works - it comes off as just a weird name in general, but also ill-fitting due to her looks (in neet's opinion)

Learning vegetables, and not just parents' jugulars, can be cut is a lot like stepping in dog poop. I agree, Old Neet. I agree.

*invites into the office a bunch of turbo-nerds whose lives are obviously centered around gaming* "Here, this is a video game. It may come a surprise to you all, but sometimes video games contain mistakes. These are called bugs, and people who play video games don't like them!"

Pretty sure a Japanese company releasing a game as buggy as anything Bethesda has ever released would be considered a shamefurr dispray. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)
