>you're a poser
>community breathes sigh of relief when your text editor corrupts crappy text edits and you "give up"
>except one translator who never played that game and becomes your babysitter
>meanwhile briefly deal with another translator who wants to avoid a FFVI situation, promise to hand reigns to him to move on to other games but secretly redouble efforts working with the babysitter because you suspect this guy doesn't hate Woolsey enough
>spend next months in stepsister's basement playing through a game you don't even like because you must prove naysayers wrong, especially that one reviewer who called you misguided
>finally beat game in Tomato's Wanderbar and the nice babysitter who gave you encouragement from the start says it's fine
>remake announced? this must be fate! you spam your hack to gain notoriety, now people who don't know Japanese either are streaming your hack, this is the best feeling ever! you even paraphrase the original translator that your hack is total overhaul etc.
>this catches the ghosted's attention, you rationalize your hack as a relocalization not a retranslation, he'd release his work immediately if there wasn't an upcoming remake and says getting your misleading hack on radar may jeopardize everything but you don't listen since doing the opposite of what he says gives you sense of control
>he's a wiki admin who releases his hack after the remake, turns out all that praise you got is void since nearly all of it is about the names you took verbatim from the wiki and he temporarily used fake entries to his advantage in case you went forward pulling the fan equivalent of SMB Encyclopedia, dumps a crapload he withheld on TCRF too for veracity, you wasted literally everyone's time making a half-baked half-measure and naysayers were proven right about you, realizing that he can't babysit he also leaves addendum guidelines behind, all you did was underestimate and fracture this once-pure idea and now your own sources hate you
