The internet's collective passion for arguing which is the correct version of this phrase is starting to border on pathetically amusing. We may as well be trying to decide whether vi(m) or emacs is better.

I've always read "couldn't care less" as the literal version and "could care less" as a sarcastic variant and am fine with either, with slightly different connotations.

Believe it or not, reading the last page or two of the thread before you post can sometimes be informative

Damn it... Normally I do.
Somehow I was kinda "stressed" after my skiing holiday it seems (too many things that needed to be taken care of)

This time I only checked one page, instead of at least 3-5 ...

What is this "Tsubasa"?

When the Seagulls Cry Wings) alongside the eighth game, Twilight of the Golden Witch.

I don't think this was mentioned in this thread before.

Spoiler for From Episode 7:

CrimsonMoonMist · 2011-01-04, 14:20

At the very beginning of EP1 when they're boarding the plane

Spoiler for EP1 plane boarding:

Sniesk · 2011-01-04, 16:05

So, for those who have read it, how long is ep8 in relation to the other episodes?

Keriaku · 2011-01-04, 19:02

I have a really quick question. Is there any way to delete save data, title screen changes and all? If so, how would I do it/what files should I modify or delete?

**Klashikari** · 2011-01-04, 19:11

You would need to delete the "global.sav" file that is located in the application data folder in your documents and setting folder (either the admin one, or the user one where umineko is installed).

Keriaku · 2011-01-04, 19:49

Okay, thanks Klashikari.

Hey, the Witch Hunt admitted it's not the most perfect fan translation of anything. There are several awkward phrasings and some overlooked errors (I couldn't list them, though). But I'll be damned if it didn't help us understand exactly was going on, which it does. If it's an error, it's just something that happens.

Of course, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be reported. There's only so much proofreaders can catch. Reports by readers help to improve quality.

Sorry, didn't know oversight feedback is seen on with dislike around these parts,
I must have worded something wrong, because I didn't mean to imply anything negative regarding the quality of the translation
(which i find to be very solid, mind you).
it won't happen again and i apologize for my lack of manners.

There is nothing to apologize for, and as far as I see, you didn't insult anyone.
Reporting typos and oddly constructed sentences are very much encouraged anyway.

I may be reading this wrong, but it sounds odd.

I think that this made you sound you like you expected a perfect translation, and I believe that it's what immblueversion meant, though I may be wrong.

CrimsonMoonMist · 2011-01-05, 08:55

I see, I was merely suggesting that i may have just misunderstood the line,
thereby thinking it was wrong. But i guess i worded it badly and came off as rude in the process.
Which is kind of ironic, since i added that part to make sure as to not come off as such by stating the possibility that it may just be a mistake on my end.
Oh well, nobody's hurt, right (well, except my reputation)? so let's move on.

Demoned Away · 2011-01-05, 15:36

I have a simple question. If I have a copy of Umineko Ep8 can I use the Core Arcs patch to translate 5-7 or do I have to wait for the Ep8 patch to start reading it?

**Klashikari** · 2011-01-05, 15:39

We didn't make any patch that is compatible with Episode 8 game yet. That's in our plans, just as usual.
Nothing prevents you to use our last patch on Episode 8, but there is no guarantee that the patch won't have any bizarre instances due to possible game structure changes.

Will Wright · 2011-01-05, 15:43

Out of curiosity, how do you guys plan on translating

Spoiler for for episode 8:

**Klashikari** · 2011-01-05, 15:45

We will see to it. After all, we already had to alter the tale a bit for the Epitaph explanation in 7. So we will figure a way to deal with it.

Nanashi_1337 · 2011-01-06, 05:01

I don't know if people knows this, but the majority of Tsubasa is translated here:

http://umineko.wikia.com/wiki/TIPS

It's missing at least 3, one that again involves Zepar and Furfur with Jessica (there are two episodes that they appear together), one related to one of the assistants of Dlanor (the less experienced) and the Butterfly Kiss part is incomplete, missing some translations from dialogue and other Valentine letters, like Mammon, Siesta556 and both Zepar and Furfur.

It's right after Shannon turns down Beatrice's invitation to an eternal tea party. In Episode 7's game: In Episode 8's game: I was wondering why Gaap's name was mentioned there Good thing I didn't waste too much thought on it.
