![]() Well it wasn't just me - we have a team of translators and editors who approach these games. So that's where we had to come up with this pun that we ultimately went with, which was "how do you avoid dangerous cults? Practice safe sects!" Okay, let's drill into that localization process - how, exactly, did you go from a flying futon joke to a safe sex joke? If we literally translated that, it wouldn't work. If we put in "why did the chicken cross the road?" it's not much of a pun it doesn't feel in line with Majima's character. It's basically a "why did the chicken cross the road" kind of joke. So in Japanese, that pun is "futon ga futon da", which means "a futon is a futon" or, "a futon flies." It's a pun on words. One of the perfect examples is, Majima encounters this.did you play the substory where he goes to infiltrate a cult? In that substory, one of the options he has is to crack a pun, in order to get this girl to snap out of her cult tendencies. Whether or not that means changing the dialogue a little bit, changing the style in which it's delivered, making dialogue options a little bit more punchy, that kind of thing. ![]() ![]() It's very clear to us when the writing that exists in the game is supposed to be like, "ha ha here's a joke." So we just want to make sure that if they intended for it to be funny, it also has to be funny to our audience. It's very clear when the developers want to be funny. Strichart: The humor of a Yakuza game is a fine line to walk. How do you translate that for a Western audience? The Yakuza games have a winning sense of humor. What follows is a version of that conversation we've edited for clarity. It was an interesting conversation that went beyond the localization process (Atlus uses a translator/editor tag-team approach, rather than relying on translators alone) to touch on how, exactly, you translate humor, and how players in different regions can view a game or its characters completely differently. That writing is translated and localized for the West by Atlus (alongside longtime series translator Inbound) starting with Yakuza 0 and continuing on through Yakuza Kiwami (a remake of the original 2005 game) and Yakuza 6. The localization of all three games has been overseen by Atlus' Scott Strichart, who recently sat down to chat about the ins and outs of adapting these games' humor and gravity for Western players. For all its focus on cold-hearted criminals and petty evil, Yakuza 0 is a remarkably funny game it affords players the freedom to quickly jump from incredibly serious, macabre scenes (a criminal is tortured in a warehouse) to (teach a shy punk band to act like Cool Rude Dudes in public). The hook that holds together all these disparate game design elements, that pulled us and scores of Western players like us through the game, is the writing. From a player's perspective, it can be overwhelming - my partner and I recently completed Yakuza 0, and saw that our 87 hours of combined play merited a "completion" score of roughly 33 percent. For example, Yakuza 0(the series prequel released outside of Japan early last year) sets itself up as a playable crime serial set in '80s Japan.īut it can also be a cabaret management game, a blind date sim, a 3D beat-'em-up, an emulator of old Sega arcade classics, a rhythm game, a light-hearted RPG about solving stranger's problems, a real estate management game, and a surprisingly good place to learn the basics of tabletop games like shogi and mahjong.įrom a developer's perspective, the scope of such a project seems daunting.

You can be aware of them nearing you, or following closely behind you, by being able to hear soft clackings and bumpings of the skulls bashing together. They only seem to take 1-3 hit to destroy them, but due to them usually being small and elusive or large in numbers, they can be more dangerous than they appear. These very common enemies flood together in large groups when spawned by the tentacled spawners. This section will contain tips I have observed to help defend against some of the various enemies the game has. Greater Spider enemies seem to pull in and take other crystals away from you, so whenever you have the chance to take down the Greater Spiders, you should do it. Always be mindful of when you are shooting and when there are crystals scattered about, because accidentally blasting all crystals away from you can ruin your run. ![]() Shooting in any form stops Power Crystals from attracting to you, but using the Shot attack will actively push them away from you. Tips For Collecting Power Crystals & Getting Stronger You can also tell when an enemy is dangerously close by how brightly orange they are glowing. The closer enemies are behind you or around you, the louder their respective noises are. You can very much hear what kinds of enemies are around you if you listen hard enough and try to realise which enemies make which noises. It is tricky to get it right, but looking directly below you and shooting just as you jump seems to work best. Shot Firing also has the extra trick of Dagger Jumping, very similar to rocket jumping. It is not very accurate as the daggers have a large spread, but up close it will take out Greater Skulls and take out Spawner or Spider weak-points easier. ![]() Shot Firing (Clicking the mouse button quickly) is very helpful for taking out enemies closely trailing behind, or trying to get the last shot on an escaping enemy. As the run continues it should get stronger and quicker the more crystals you collect from enemies. Fairly weak to start off, with a small slow stream of daggers. Spray Firing (Holding down mouse click) is good for sniping far off enemies and leading mobile enemies into the stream of daggers. Switching directions suddenly can help slow down large groups if done well enough. Moving makes the enemies have a harder time of running into you obviously, but you also have to make sure not to run into other enemies while trying to avoid some. Be careful not to fall off the edges of the arena, and try your best to move vie strafing as much as you can as well. While this wind is usually plentiful and naturally occurring outdoors, growing without the wind indoors usually means vertical farms are limited to what they can produce, usually growing simple greens like lettuce. ![]() Lack of wind: Many crops require wind to develop strong stalks. Here are a few of the limitations related to indoor vertical farming: Reliance on technology: When a vertical farm loses power for even a day there is a potential for a huge loss of production. There are certain advantages with vertical farming that a grower does not have in traditional farming, but with the good also comes the bad. High stacks of grow beds require special solutions like scissor lifts to access and manage the crops. ft.) spends an average of $8.02 per square foot.Most of this spending is related to powering the artificial lighting required to grow the crops.Don’t forget about labour costs! Vertical farms come with unique ergonomic challenges that are not designed for efficient manual work. ft.) spends an average of $3.45 per square foot on energy while a large vertical farm (bigger than 10,000 sq. According to Pure Greens Container Farms, a small vertical farm (less than 10,000 sq. Ongoing costs: Once you get past the initial upfront costs, you will have a lot of spending to do. Even if you own the space already, such as those who have started small vertical farming at home, there are significant costs related to equipment (lighting, tech, tools, shelves, pumps and pipes) and materials (nutrients, seeds and even fish – in the case of aquaponics). For example, the containing farming solutions offered by Freight Farms cost $139,000 in 2021 (not including shipping). Upfront costs: Vertical farms can be very expensive to build. The biggest barrier to entry into vertical farming is the costs involved. ![]() ![]() However, some of those voices are from experts in their fields who look at the concept from another angle and see it differently.īelow we take a look at the 3 most common arguments presented when it comes vertical farming not living up to the hype. While some look at vertical farming systems as a potential solution to global food shortages, others see them as well-intentioned failures.Īdvocates have made a strong case in favour of indoor vertical farming but what about the other side of the debate? Will the challenges vertical farming companies face prove to be insurmountable?ĭepending on which side of the debate you fall on, you might feel those who question the benefits of vertical farms are jaded skeptics. ![]() Treyarch and Exakt Entertainment are releasing Decision of Duty 2 for free on November 7, 2006, and it looks fantastic.

Played in teams with AI-controlled colleagues, players face off against enemies who deploy a range of attack strategies and hide behind the wall. There are various ways to accomplish one’s goals in this phase of the arrangement, which is why it is so open-ended. As a first-person shooter, Call of Duty 3 is one of the most popular games on the market today. This should only be done by a professional because it requires proper handling and release. You can also try hanging up pie tins and washers along the edges of your roof to make noise when they pass however, if you have a large population this will become nothing more than wasted time and energy for you. This will take persistence because squirrels are very determined little animals and will chew from the inside until their way is clear. You can do this by over-filling their entry holes with steel wool. The goal here is to make it uncomfortable for them to stay so they will leave. Once any openings are sealed, wait several weeks before going on to the next step. This procedure takes time but will save you money in the long run.ĭon't think that just because you don't see squirrels now that they aren't there-they can squeeze through an opening as small as a pencil! So, if you have a gap between your garage door and the floor or a large hole in the siding of your home but no droppings, this is where you need to be looking. Any holes bigger than a half dollar should be caulked. You can find these areas by looking for "spider web" like trails leading up the side of your house. The first line of defense is to caulk any openings that lead into your eaves or roof-this includes around vents, fans, soffits, etc., checking it every 1-3 feet along the entire perimeter of your home's exterior. Trees near your home are prime real estate for squirrels to build their nests-making them the least of your concerns if you have this problem.

Well, I thought of that too, so as incentive, I’m offering up another piece of computing history to the individual whose submission tickles my fancy the most (this is, of course, purely subjective, but it’s my giveaway, so deal with it) - the top two “winners” (term used loosely) will receive (shipping paid by me, and the first place submission gets first choice of the prizes) either an original Quadra 950 Motherboard w/68040 Processor!
