You need to be at least this competent to impress Saria

i plugged in the binary to text translator and it came out as "³Y".

Depsite should probably be Despite.
You're churning these out so fast. Thanks for the translations!

Thanks for pointing out the spelling mistakes!

I wanted to start working on the newer chapters as soon as possible, so I just went and translated them all lmao

I love the joke at how she's out here recruiting literally everyone in the lore, meanwhile her base skill is about making stuff in the factory lol

thanks for the mass update!!!

I mean, those three operators (Robin, Kafka, and Mountain) are recruited by Silence after Mansfield Break…

Silence have interest on breaking Mountain out of the prison and the start of Rhine Lab side story in the game (out of the game there is manga that explains what happened before this)

If I assume 8 bit characters, then the message is 10011101 10110011 01011001, which translates to 9D B3 59 in hexadecimal

In ASCII: 9D is unused, B3 is superscript 3 (³), and 59 is capital Y.

I tried a few other encodings (esp since the source language is Chinese which has different encodings) but most of those are 16bit characters, which doesn't cleanly divide the 24 bit message and in any case is far too short to really communicate anything meaningful so I think it's just the artist putting in random binary.

someone on tumblr did try translating it actually

apparently she just said the chinese slang term for lesbian lol

I know that? I was talking about how she recruited them in the lore but her base skill in game is creating stuff in the factory, and the comics made that the joke and I found that funny

O

Can confirm it converts into "姛" using utf-16, although strangely it only outputs that if a newline is placed after the 12th digit (splitting the message in half), otherwise it simply errors with an unknown symbol. Also strangely, translating that character back into binary using utf-16 results in 11011011 01011001, which is only similar on the last byte.

I think what's going on is that when it's inputted like "100111011011 001101011001", rapidtables treats this as two 12bit codes, but as utf-16 only utilizes pairs of 8bit codes, the site automatically cuts off the beginning bits down to 8 and only using those 8 bits as I've marked with brackets: 1001[11011011] 0011[01011001]

I'll admit I'm not familiar with how Chinese characters are encoded past the great firewall so there might be something else I'm missing but it's still very weird if the artist left in those extraneous bits in such a way that it could still translate to a character.

I will admit though, both translations for that character (stuff/rigid neck, or lesbian) fit way too well to be a mere coincidence so I really don't know lol

As a sidenote I checked the raw and the binary is the same there.
