Osamu Sato - Blog Posts

Lsd emulator is still one of my favorite games of all time. If I could shake hands with Osamu Sato my arm would simply fade away. He's just tht cool 😎....or.. Sato is very weird in a great way. I think if we shook hands he would fade away b4 my arm does.

This is weird, but "Tong Nao" is actually a pretty accurate Chinese pronunciation of the name. The game is called "Tonnou" in Japanese, and the characters would be read as "Dongnao" in Mandarin. It seems like the publishers of this game picked a strange hybrid romanization meant to look as exotic as possible, that mixes aspects of Japanese and Chinese. I don't blame this person for trying to pronounce it as if it was Chinese.

obviously a lot of ink has been spilled on how prefacing statements with "I'm not even gonna TRY to pronounce that!" is way worse than just. trying and getting it wrong

but what really bothers me is when people mispronounce something very badly even though it's written using a phonetic alphabet
