My thoughts on nmlgc and his THcrap project.
...YOU SCREWED UP THE ENGLISH TRANSLATION SECTION OF OUR GLORIOUS FANDOM YOU HIJACKER. I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU FOR THAT!!!
Seriously, this guy just turned up out of nowhere, funneled the translation projects through his structures he setup and now we have no more standalone patches for the games I love.
Don't even get me started on his choice of name for his patcher... Thcrap? Seriously!?! That's disrespectful of us as the fans, Touhou itself and Zun who works hard to bring us the games he loves to make. I don't buy the statement they made that thcrap is an anagram for patch, nmlgc did that deliberately to be a bastard. I get pissed off every time I see THcrap sitting there obnoxiously in my DDC folder, like a tasteless joke that nmlgc made that sits there forever mocking me and us. Disrespectful! I waited for months and months for somebody to make a standalone patch for DDC but it never arrived. I had no choice but to use his evil patcher because nobody else would translate the game because Nmlgc did it first.
I wish that we had stand alone translations again for the games. Nmlgc came along selling something that nobody asked for and then suddenly all future translations for touhou are going through his patcher.
His automatic patcher isn't even increasing translation speeds like he said they would... which was the whole POINT of doing what he did in the first place. As of the date of me writing this, the front page of thpatch.net still douse not have an English translation of ISC at around ">95% coverage. Only some language called български has a full translation. GOOD JOB THPATCH.NET! Your translation patches are incredibly overdue that 2 more games have come out since that one.
Lets not forget this old gem either:
http://thcrap.tumblr.com/"yo please dont support nmlgc he aint a nice person". I was determined to boycott him for his bastard-like behavior but no... He hijacked the touhou patching community and he runs the whole show now. We have no CHOICE but to use his translations because there is nothing else.
The touhou translation patch community is in shambles because of nmlgc and I am in hatred of him because of that. We had something beautiful, something that other fandoms only dreamed they would have... and this guy screwed it all up with his thcrap that holds us all in contempt.
I personally hope that thpatch.net burns and that we return to the glorious days of stand alone patches by people who truly love the touhou series. I don't play many other game series besides Touhou, I boycotted AAA games years ago due to DRM practices and corporate crap that they pull on us. Touhou was a game series that I loved and came from a good hearted place in ZUN's doujin mindset. I don't ask for much in games except a good translation of my favorites. nmlgc took that away from me.
