I feel like this is 100% google translated.

[@williamduan2322]

loool, it makes sense that google translate would translate hellion into evil fire lol.

[@vjekobasic7059]

And creep into fungal carpet. Fuck it, I'm calling it fungal carpet from now on, I actually like that.

[@thomasbummer4361]

[@retarepo]

@@williamduan2322 The question is, what is it in the Chinese client. the game is not always literally translated.

[@williamduan2322]

@@retarepo oh, it's spelt 恶火, and the first character means literally means evil, the second one fire loool. So yeah, I'd say it was a pretty good English to Chinese translation (especially since Hell, translated literally into Chinese, is a two-character word, and not nearly as catchy), and a totally sensible Chinese to English translation from Google. Same with creep tumor, which is translated into 菌(bacteria, fungal, etc)毯(carpet)瘤(tumor), and hence the fungal carpet tumor lol。

[@SN-ym1sv]

i will open all my next ZvT with the words: "Your evil fire shall not burn my fungal carpets!" instead of "glhf"

[@KanaKaname]

Can confirm. That's basically how they put hellion and creep in the Chinese localization.

[@LucasSouza023]

@@KanaKaname yeah... Blizzard just took bad decisions in translation... Like in portuguese we have very good examples of how bad it is... Like the hellions here are called "endiabrado" that means "impish" in english... "Destruidor" for Void Rays, that means "Destroyer" or "Mamutus" for Ultralisk that means "Mamutoid" in english, and so many on

"In reality you just had some monkeys throw poop at you, and that's not the proper way to play Starcraft". - Sun "Harstem" Zhu, circa 2021.

So THAT's what I was doing wrong the whole time.

[@Jordan-Ramses]

The Chinese wrote the art of war, but they also invented gunpowder and didn't make a weapon out of it.

[@vinnieg6161]

@@Jordan-Ramses China Black powder (or gunpowder) was invented in China during the 9th century; these inventions were later transmitted to the Middle East and Europe. The direct ancestor of the firearm is the fire lance. The prototype of the fire lance was invented in China during the 10th century and is the predecessor of all firearms. Don't know where you got that but China definitely made weapons with their gun powder..

The monkey poop stock picking analogy is actually quite accurate. Most of the time a portfolio of randomly picked stocks does just as well as professionally picked stock portfolios.

I saw a study where monkey (literally, but no poop involved) picked stocks outperformed those of "professionals". Wasn't too huge, but still....

[@rottenhoney3418]

The google translate part just killing me, it's funny to read when you know how those units' name getting destroy by google translate because it just got translated LITERALLY . And if im not mistaken, Evil fire meant Hellion and Carpet Tumors meant creep.

[@arthaschen4701]

Exactly! And google translated multi-ground into double-line lol

[@earthbind83]

Oh hey, good to see someone who speaks Chinese. I gotta ask: Did Google translate his name correctly or does it mean something else?

[@rottenhoney3418]

​ @earthbind83 If you're meaning Harstem's name, it's just transliteration, it has the same pronunciation with english version; If you're meaning 立於浮华之上, It's 50/50, it does meant "standing on the glitz", but the true meaning is "don't care about the glitz". It's came from a poem that someone wrote for Tachibana Kanade from the anime called "Angel Beats!", the character herself called "立华奏" in chinese/japanese, and the whole sentence of the poem is "立于浮华之上，奏响天籁之音。", which meant "(She) born in the world that full of glitz [or (She) don't care about the glitz], but still can play her notes gracefully.", and it contain all the words in her name. -It's kinda edgy if you ask me-

[@AntiDoctor-cx2jd]

I like Harstems work ethic. I only saw him cut a replay short 1 time. He otherwise always sees it through even though they obviously suck long before that.

survivalship bias is another way of "trying to justify a bad play" Just because it worked once or twice in the past, doesn't necessarily mean it was a good play... It may work once or twice, out of 1000 plays.

There are some actually great life lessons to those actually listening. A Bad result doesn't mean it was a bad decision, it is possible you got unlucky. Similarly a good result doesn't mean it was necessarily a good action. Maybe you bet 1-1000 on something and just got plain lucky.

[@SharienGaming]

on survivor bias - there is a classic example from WW2, where the brits found that their planes after returning from bombing missions had almost no hits to the armored front of the plane and lots of hits on the wings, so they asked their engineers and mathematicians whether they should armor the wings instead, since the front is barely getting hit the answer they got was to armor the front where the engine is... because they were looking at the planes that came back... planes that were hit where the engine or pilot are...do not tend to come back to be examined

[@whisped8145]

Hospital 15km from the city center? That's kinda what we have no in the german town I live in, for they shut down the ones in the city center to relocate everything to the new big thing out at the far edge of the city. My hometown has a similar issue, where the main hospital for the entire region, not just county, is not even in that big hometown, but some village in bumfuck nowhere 5km from the town's edge. However, the road to the cemetery that is still in the town is well organized: stonemason, old people's home, flower shop, bus stop, crematorium, cemetery. It's almost a production line.
