who names their kid Slaghf anyway
-F

like you get
- Dahm Tower instead of Darm Tower
- Luther Gemma instead of Luta Gemma
- Lado Spire instead of Rado's Annex
- Jevah instead of Jeba
- Slaghf instead of Slaff
- Talwarl instead of talwar (this is a real type of sword, you'd think they'd get it right)
- Temple of Salmon instead of Solomon Shrine (though the Salmon mistranslation shows up in other versions too)
- Zeptik village instead of Zepik village
- Rastine instead of Rastin
- Sarah instead of Sara

I dunno it's just a bit odd!

Replaying the DS version of Ys feels a bit odd after playing basically every other version

The DS one was our first experience with the series, but it seems very divergent in terms of names of things
-F

if they're called vegetables, why do you never see anyone veget them?
-F

why, you might wonder? it's a chemystery

okay actually it's just because copper nitrate isn't soluble in nitric acid so it forms a protective layer, but it dissolves easily in water, so having 32% water helps a lot

i just wanted to use the word chemystery
-F

we always found it really neat that pure nitric acid can't dissolve copper, but 68% nitric acid can

has anyone else here ever heard of the game ШП (ShP)?

it's a very weird game, you're presented with a very poorly designed UI and given no instructions or any hints as to what your goal is

also the entire thing is in russian, and it's intended for people who don't speak russian

the idea is that it's like trying to make unlocalized foreign software do what you want it to
-F

?

source measure units are perhaps the least helpfully named lab equipment
-F

actually it's Vageux-Vardette

french words have -eaux so often i misread it
-F

anyone here know French?

there's a location in this video game we're playing called Vageaux-Vardette and I'm curious what, if anything, that means. It looks French.

good morning
-F

techbromine, gymbromine, fratbromine
-F

i feel like there's a joke somewhere in the word bromine: "bro-mine"
-F

why is luminol called that

it's not an alcohol
-F

anyone else think it's odd how Ys only features in three of the like ten Ys games
-F

we got a faux fur throw blanket because it was the first one we found at the store and it's getting cold here

it's unexpectedly affirming to have? like, reach down and feel fur.......
