oh I bet they won’t be confused at all tbh

catacalypto.bsky.social•62 days ago

“confused” is wrong, but “will need context”

caylen.bsky.social•62 days ago

if anything I’m like 80% sure there’s a bizdev person at I/O who’s only hesitation involved a meeting with legal, comms and conversation with Nintendo as “look, as long as we don’t say the name we can do this right?”

they might have put the red one with it solely for plausible deniablity

caylen.bsky.social•62 days ago

like there’s a reason the green one is physical only & it’s maybe one of the funniest, smartest decisions a marketer can make

any press blowback would only lead to higher sales

catacalypto.bsky.social•62 days ago

if I can get a preorder I will buy it. I like green.

catacalypto.bsky.social•62 days ago

oh one hundred percent lol. I just mean I think there are a few people who signed off on this without knowing everything and that’s beautiful.

caylen.bsky.social•62 days ago

ahhhhhhh I misinterpreted lol mb

catacalypto.bsky.social•62 days ago

"i do not know this, or we have no special term for it." rip (he is a patent examiner tho so i could see him not being hip to the streets)

kapura.bsky.social•62 days ago

i am curious

nicolaecarpathia.bsky.social•62 days ago

i couldn't find anything for doohickey, but according to wiktionary, the japanese word for "contraption" is "please add this translation if you can"

hold on let me call my mom

@catacalypto.bsky.social surprise! english slang is a translators worst nightmare (we decided that dōgu, in context, is the closest word)

catacalypto.bsky.social•62 days ago

amazing, so happy to have brought your family together

I’m disappointed that most of the replies are “what is the Japanese word for doohickey” instead of “what do Japanese people call the thing we informally call *the doohickey*”, and I am now obsessed with figuring out the answer

If I search X, The Everything App for historic posts involving the Japanese spelling of Shinzo Abe and the kanji for “gun”, you mostly get variants of “handmade gun”, but I expect flat-out searching for “gun” doesn’t reach the correct level of Terminally Online

Miyamoto, looking down at his desk in shame: I was wrong. We will retcon Mario to be Irish.

catacalypto.bsky.social•62 days ago

the important thing is he’s learning and growing
