| + | https://unnamedtranslations.blogspot.com |
||
| − | Dota 2 noob (I BLAME SLOW INTERNET SPEED), master of causing blackouts and active Communist. Oh, and devout Muslim. Osu! touchscreen tryhard (shifting to tablet soon). People actually read this? |

| − | No qualms revealing my personal info above (as long as it's not too personal), plus Nick technically isn't my real name but everyone calls me that so whatever (not on birth cert lel). |
||
| − | |||
| − | =Some more info TL;DR= |
||
| − | |||
| − | Will freelance stuff I like. Able to translate rather fluently (I hope) from Chinese to English and vice versa (maybe not so much for the latter). Feed me raws and I feed you translations. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Why the username Venis? |
||
| − | Weeellllllllll I actually use the name VenisPagina or something like that a lot but I figured I wouldn't be wanted to be remembered as that weird arse who uses a sexual name for his translations so yeah I "censored" it to this. Otherwise I go by the handle 'Veins' or something mostly. Except for my Steam name, that changes often. |
||
| − | |||
| − | '''To any Singaporeans or anyone happening to pass through Singapore interested''': You might catch me occasionally in an arcade, usually at Bishan or Serangoon (sometimes Bugis) playing Mai-Mai or something if you're lucky. My username should be obvious enough for you to spot me. |
||
| − | |||
| − | =My view on translations= |
||
| − | |||
| − | I guess I feel kinda obliged to write this. Don't get me wrong, I love Baka-Tsuki as a community for which I get to share my own work with other people, get to know other people and first and foremost to share our love for light novels - but there is an issue with, I assure you, NOT licensing but QUALITY. Let's get this out of the way first, I respect Baka-Tsuki's policy of "anyone can register and start translating" but could you all at least think for a second whether you actually have the capability to do so? My work may not be the best, but I at least consider it grammatically legible; which all the more so pisses me off when I scroll through light novels I enjoy only to see loads upon loads UPON LOADS of error-ridden translations with horrible grammar, phrasing and sometimes even spelling (I'M LOOKING AT YOU, MUSHOKU TENSEI). Right, so I'm going to say something potentially politically incorrect here - '''If you aren't fluent in English, DON'T FUCKING TRANSLATE. It is that simple.''' I've genuinely enjoyed my time here with you all so far, but as a community dedicated to producing quality translations, things like this have got to stop. Together, we might be able to do something about it. Thanks for taking a moment to listen to what I have to say. |
