The New Spamtenna Crumbs: a list
All the Spamtenna from after the release of Deltarune Chapter 3 & 4, a comprehensive list put together by yours truly. It also has links and images for sourcing. This list doesn't have new discoveries about Spamtenna in the game (which were still important though), just entirely new material!
Wow we got something Spamton or Tenna related every other weeks. Sure we got nothing in August but we had a lot in July. No wonder no one could quit their shipping addiction.
Didn’t all of Tenna’s workers quit and left him? Why is the green pippins listening to Tenna’s threat of tightening his contract? Did some people go back to working under him or are they just saying those things out of habits? You’d think after all the workplace mistreatment they wouldn’t go back to working for Tenna.
Ralsei is the boss now since he is the prince. Plus, Castle Town works with Dark Dollars currency so it’s not like Tenna can pay his employees even if he had them.
I’m kinda confused, lol.
sillies
your ring so small and tossable it fell in the endless pit and gone forever and ever
I like the idea that these two fight over Tenna... I'm cringe like that. I like seeing both of them miserable too 🦧
short comic =]
i love him and his problems and issues

Koromaru vs Teddie
Koromaru
Teddie
OKAY, somebody in the comments called Teddie a "perv" again and NO NO NONONONONO I can't believe how much damage localization crunch has done to the perception of this character in the west. Teddie is CHILD. He's mentally no older the Nanako. He acts like that because he is lonely and wants attention by being mildly annoying and kinda funny, not because he's a predator! Vote Teddie to spread the truth. I love Koromaru, but I am sure best doggo would not stand for this slander of his bossom buddy.
It's not your fault, it's kinda a result of how the game was localized way back in the 00s... There used to be an article about it on the internet (the site has since closed down unfortunately), but the localization team for Persona 4 went on the record stating they were heavily crunched when translating the game, being given basically only 1-2 months for the entire job (which is insane for a game of that length), and while a majority of the translation came out amazingly well for those circumstances, Teddie, who had to be localized last due to executive meddling regarding his name and gimmicks, did suffer immensely from the crunch.
To make matters worse, for some ungodly reasons every localization team on Persona since then has decided to stay CONSISTENT with those localization errors and actively butcher Teddie's character for that purpose alone, and I honestly am baffled by the insane ripple effect this has had.
The damage done to his character was 3-fold:
1.) Miscasting
In Japanese, Teddie is voiced by Kappei Yamaguchi, a character actor known for his amazingly consistent falsetto, among other things. He was probably cast for his prior performance as Flappy in PreCure Splash Star and uses the exact same voice as for Flappy to voice Teddie. Accordingly, in Japanese Teddie sounds like a *creature*, not a person, a childlike, alien being that could never be mistaken for a regular person, voice-wise.
Meanwhile in English, Teddie has been consistently (mis)cast and misdirected with voices that sound like adult men doing an annoying falsetto that doesn't make them sound any younger. The voice actors themselves are incredibly talented, but they are completely the wrong match for the role and ruin the impression the character is supposed to give off, making him go from "cute but annoying and misguided" to "pest".
👀
Well now I feel robbed wtf
People always told me he was just childish and didn’t understand what he was saying but I had trouble believing it. Also if he had blatantly said “guys you’re supposed to get creeped out cmon” in English too I might’ve actually understood (hell, I myself love annoying people for laughs)
From this it really sounds like he’s one of the most butchered characters I’ve heard of. Im tempted to feel bad for not knowing but tbh I can’t read/speak Japanese so I pretty much had no way of knowing he was mistranslated like this lol
EDIT: WAIT THAT ALSO EXPLAINS WHY HE KEEPS HITTING ON NANAKO
For one he has no idea what flirting is and just says things the teens around him say, and along with that it sounds like he’s basically meant to be her age
Yeahhh, pretty much, lol.
I was in the middle of learning Japanese when I first played P4 some 10 years ago, so I had more contact to the Japanese version than the English version right from the get go. It took me a while to realize just how much damage the localization crunch had actually done to Teddie, because in the Japanese fanbase he's actually fairly popular as a symbol of the "cute" side of the franchise. His Japanese character profiles always emphasize his loneliness and neediness too.
BTW, a lot of the genuinely creepy stuff Teddie does is kiiinda Yosuke's fault. (Sorry, Yosuke, I love you, but you suck at raising this child). Note how Teddie never mentions anything like swimsuits or nurses or anything genuinely sexual aside from the "scoring" joke (which I explained above) for the entire time, right up until he first leaves the TV World. Then... he moves in with Yosuke.
To drive the point home, Arena shows us what Yosuke's room looks like, and wouldn't you know: Posters of happy, smiling idols in swimsuits on the walls. Stacks of playboy magazines everywhere. Golden even added a scene where Yosuke gets mad at Teddie for bringing his (Yosuke's) playboy magazines down to the Hanamura family breakfast table with him and loudly asking Yosuke about them in front of his parents, at which point Chie even points out its Yosuke's fault for keeping stuff like this in his room when Teddie lives there too.
Yosuke is kinda Teddie's big brother figure in the same way as Yu is Nanako's, and while Yu is nothing but a good influence on Nanako, Yosuke is... Not someone you want a little kid to use as a role model. Which is unfortunately exactly what happened-
On the plus side, the same picture of Yosuke's room also shows that next to Teddie's bed there is a stack of what looks like Ribon magazines (a shoujo Manga magazine for grade and middle school girls). So at least when Teddie spends his own money on literature it's far more age appropriate.
This is actually a pretty good analysis of Teddie. I remember watching one on YouTube and it didn't cover some of the points found here. I think some of the points were attempted to be made in the translation but since most find him annoying they don't want to give him any benefit of the doubt or look at him in objective lens. The dissonance of what he looks like (high schooler) and what he sounds like (younger) doesn't help. Which is funny with P4's theme being what it is.
I hope whenever P4 gets its remake they actually find a way to translate Teddie more closely with his Japanese counterpart (though it sounds hard) and at least give him a child actor. I hear a lot of people saying Reload changed their mind on Yukari and that was mostly due to line delivery. I don't have high hopes but here's to hoping.
My very specific headcanon that these five characters have a group chat called The Girls and Klavier has always wanted to be in it so badly but they won’t let him be one of the girls
This took way too fucking long but I need everyone to be on the same page that Sanji gets absolutely no fucking play

AITSFXP5: All Out Attack an idea crossed my mind when I was playing P5R and I just have to do it, I think they fit perfectly?
(I also do these type of commissions, here's my kofi link!)
Mostly likely an RFID tag. A simple unpowered device that emits a signal when excited by an external magnetic field.
The fun part is that RFID chips are incredibly easy to break, and incredibly easy to clone/copy. Imagine buying your drink, then intentionally burning out the rfid chip with an extra-strong electromagnetic field and raising a stink because the machine won’t give you what you paid for. Free meal vouchers, maybe? Better yet if you can get behind the counter and burn out the chips on every cup at once.
You could also buy a cup, then scan and clone the RFID tag, and see what kind of system they’re using to keep track of what cups have refills left and which ones don’t. I’d bet money that it wouldn’t be complex or hard to reverse-engineer, and then it’s as simple as spoofing the correct information to the RFID chip reader at the drink dispenser, and you get 8000 refills for the next 99999 hours or whatever.
It’s shitty and dystopian when companies do stuff like this, but fortunately they usually do it in a very stupid way that’s easily exploitable if you have the right know-how and some tools.
