@BestGirlGrace wait is that actually the real name of the games' setting
@00dani no, the localized game takes place in Los Angeles, fans just say "Lostokyoangeles" as a joke on the imported elements of japanese culture
@BestGirlGrace okay yeah that makes sense
since yeah, it's just. the most japanese los angeles imaginable
why didn't the localisation just not change the setting,
@00dani @BestGirlGrace because it wasn't clear in aa1 how big of a deal it would be
@monorail @BestGirlGrace wait, how did they not realise though
by the time they started localising the games, aa2 and aa3 already existed in japanese too? β
@BestGirlGrace @00dani yeah i wouldn't be surprised if the localization team didn't even get to look at aa2 and 3
@BestGirlGrace @00dani in fact i'd be pretty surprised if they d id
@monorail @BestGirlGrace @00dani i do know 2 was released in japan w its english translation already within the game (thats how i played!) And as i recall they threw in a fresh prince of bel air ref so i guess whoever was lead was a 4chan weeb living in japan
@BestGirlGrace @hi_cial @00dani there's a "this is sparta!" joke in one of them
@monorail @BestGirlGrace @hi_cial case 3-3 and i hate it so much
@BestGirlGrace @monorail @hi_cial i literally didn't understand that reference
@00dani @monorail @hi_cial yeah, because it was a hot thing for, like, two months in 2013 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harlem_Shake_(meme)#/media/File:Worldwide_Web_Search_Interest_for_Harlem_Shake_February-April_2013.png
@00dani @BestGirlGrace @hi_cial i actually like the alternative implication that grossberg is up on the current memes and mia still thinks the milkshake song is funny
@BestGirlGrace @monorail @00dani grossberg was cutting edge memelord
@hi_cial @BestGirlGrace @monorail or he just was referencing the actual dance, from the eighties, rather than the meme from the future β
@00dani @hi_cial @BestGirlGrace but in-universe it was a meme from the recent past!
@BestGirlGrace @00dani @hi_cial i'm like 95% sure that, while they did redo the localization, that was still in the original
@BestGirlGrace @monorail @hi_cial mia liked the actual song i reckon
