Basically, he said that he&#8217;d stumbled across <a href=\"https:\/\/randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com\/gw\/otimusya\/\">my stuff of his stuff<\/a> during his web browsing, and he subsequently found the email I&#8217;d sent him back  in 2009 &#8211; he hadn&#8217;t noticed it until now. He gave me his permission to produce  the translations, and pointed me towards a <a href=\"http:\/\/hw001.spaaqs.ne.jp\/otimusya\/\">new mirror for his site<\/a>,  though he said he won&#8217;t be updating it. A pity, but I&#8217;m glad his content is  still online.<!--more--><br \/>\nAnd, uh, wow, I&#8217;m still trying to let it sink in that he replied. Yes, it&#8217;s a  nameless internet game humour person replying to <em>another<\/em> nameless  internet game humour person, but I&#8217;m just quite chuffed that he replied to me  after not hearing from him for two years. That&#8217;s very kind of him, if I do say  so myself! I would normally suggest you check out his stuff, but, well, it&#8217;s in  Japanese, and I forgot what a labour it was producing translations, so you&#8217;ll  just have to hold your horses.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d also meant to make some comments on the Sonic Generations  demo if just to emphasise I DON&#8217;T CARE ABOUT SONIC NO MORE (because reiterating  that while playing all of his new games via demo or rental is totally the best  way of stating that); such remarks as &#8220;the camera is still too zoomed in!&#8221; and  &#8220;the spindash is so fast it makes me feel like I&#8217;m skipping half the game by  using it!&#8221;&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"349\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AGtriLgMMb0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\n&#8230; but then <strong>Rage Quitter 87<\/strong> and I started playing Sonic 2&#8217;s battle mode,  and I&#8217;m absolutely incompetent at it. It&#8217;s hilarious and sad at the same time,  and if that doesn&#8217;t denounce me of my &#8220;Sonic fan&#8221;-ship, I don&#8217;t know what will.  He&#8217;s got a slowly-blooming YouTube account of us playing together, and I&#8217;d  suggest you check it out if just to verify that I am not very good at video  games.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Today&#8217;s observation: <\/strong>You know, the prospect of just crawling in a hole and dying  for the Summer always sounds very tempting.<br \/>\nSome people say the proper term is &#8220;hibernation,&#8221; but I find  it more amusing to think that bears and squirrels and stuff are all little furry  Jesuses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I would prefer to have announced it with a relevant update, but I figure, why not &#8211; Otimusya lives!
