They turned my boy into Gary...

tbh it was kind of liberating because if the devs themselves can fall to the ol' gary keytrap, then i, too, can sometimes let my mortal follicles flow downward, and allow myself to lettersmash about gary and/or kary in my accidental overenthusiasm

#feesh answer #sleepless fun fair #i feel like the whole english speaking fandom saw that typo and pointed with :O #me too devs. me too.....#we are but foolish mortals. subject not only to terms and conditions #but occasionally even typos #for some reason i imagine a translator aggressively typing on their phone #working remotely on a train somewhere because the deadline for the event transcription is coming up #but they'r ein a bit of a pickle. a rush? an unfortunate schedule of events and mishaps?#maybe they would normally be flanked by 3 giant screens displaying their text in different fonts #so they could catch mistakes as they proofread #but this time there are demands at inopportune moments #and now they're typing up a game dialogue on a tiny ancient phone #and of course your stupid fat fingers are gonna mash the tiny on-screen keyboard inaccurately when you're in Circumstances #so they accidentally let a Gary go through (cursed autocorrect) when they submitted their work #and every other translator was also perishing. or they were responsible for separate segments #so anyway this Gary makes it to us. The Masses.#and we collectively go :O!!!!!#and the translator is slapping their forehead somewhere like. omg. why didn't anyone catch that #did they seriously not have anyone proofread my work?? are we that shortstaffed???? do i have to do everything around here?!#how could i have let a Gary slip through.... orz #it's ok... we all let a gary slip through sometimes...
