  • Oh oh!!! I had the same experience but with an AMAZING anticlimax. So when the game came out it was only available for purchase in a localised version, with a horrible Swedish dub.

    For context, Sweden has an official policy of not dubbing essentially anything for anyone over maybe seven years old. No other game I know of was translated even (except the sims), and certainly not dubbed. We made fun of how terrible and corny that version was for years. It sounded like morning cartoons for babies, probably because the same cast who did Sailor Moon and Pokémon did it.

    I’ve never played the real version, and only sparingly played the horrific dub because the family computer wasn’t good enough.






  • I figured that’s what you meant but I don’t think remote schooling is a good solution to that problem, unless the plan is to never be anywhere there are crowds since those are also a target for shooters.

    However I do feel for you. I’ve more or less ruled out the US as a place to do a postdoc for among others this reason (the others being difficult to bring my dog, terrible access to childcare and healthcare and just generally the entire social welfare system being a nightmare). I’m much less worried about actual violence than I am about trauma from exposure to drills though.
