@lain @bonifartius @cjd @shibao @sun oh the CIA did a bunch of testing on this in project stargate, i read through the declassified files on stream. they measured galvanic skin response to test if someone's body reacted to being looked at, and it did so irrespective of distance and even through cameras, strongly implying that the something that orgone/spiritual energy/whatever you wanna call it doesn't interact with physical distances in a way that makes sense under current models of physics, and that "psychic power" is just a thing all humans have in different amounts that mostly works subconsciously

@lebronjames75 i have now read it and i'm still not sure what to estimate but am now aware of how badly informed i am on this topic (i haven't paid attention to combat evolution since the first few months of ukraine)

@lebronjames75 so the tl;dr is
"war is won by manufacturing ability and iran has more of it"
"they make a lot of drones and nobody has invented drone countermeasures"
"if they survive 4 weeks they'll be able to bomb water supplies and kill the entire middle east via thirst"

ngl i didn't consider the desalination angle of this at all

Here's another fun conundrum. One of the item descriptions says "[element] ×+20%"

i'm going to correct this one even if it makes purists upset

@sun genuinely one of the funniest own goals i've seen

@sun @coolboymew i've ultimately opted to go with a mechanics-accurate description. i'm normally a warts-and-all style translator but i feel like i'm going to have too many people acting smug about "haha you fucked up" about it

@coolboymew @sun I mean, the code is pretty obviously the fuckup. It gets the player's max MP, divides it by 6, adds 50, and then adds that to HP, then clears the variable. the description itself clearly says restores MP at the start of battle. every other similar mechanic that does this affects its own stat type (TP, MP, HP, etc) only does its own type with no cross-pollination. also, the MP restore is in between two things that do HP restore, and it looks like he copy/pasted the code and changed it to MP except the last step.

@sun @coolboymew If I'm already fixing plain mistakes, wouldn't it make more sense to fix the bug itself, though? It's essentially just a typo in the script.

But... at that point, it's not really a translation patch, is it? "Translation patch and i fixed this one bug." also runs into the issue that this has a really neat interaction where you can stack max MP buffs without raising HP to take advantage of the spells that cost x% of your max HP as fuel.

Here's a translation conundrum for you to ponder: The description plainly states that it restores 12% of MP at the start of battle. However, due to an oversight, it takes 12% of your max MP and restores that much HP instead.

Do I keep the inaccurate description?
