How do you disable your drone or get rid of companions? I accidentally hired 2B and it keeps costing me 300 bucks every now and then

I'm going to mostly copy and paste part of what I said about it recently this other thread:
)
I have been planning to message TragicSolitude about it soon as we were at one last annoying section/area to do. It can only really have one person is working on it at a time which it was my job (so I am to blame) to finish up last time we posted here about it here. (oh god it's been nearly another year
)

After talking with TragicSolitude I've set myself an roughly one month deadline to get the work done before the reviewing/testing process occurs as I don't want to be the cause of delaying it further if I unexpectedly go dark on this project again for a few months.
This does not mean that it will be ready in 2 months time as there's a lot of text in this game that can only be seen with certain triggers and such along with the game being an fairly long play-through if not extremely long compared to a majority of other games. The time to complete it will also be increased quite a bit too if I do go dark again since TragicSolitude does have other translation projects they are actively working on as well.
Additionally it's also not clear whether or not it's one month will even be enough to finish the work as there's an 483 sprites that possibly give text more than once. (See spoiler for screenshot of the last sprite in the list and where one bit of text to translate can be in)

I forgot that Sprite 5 was the weapon list.....it has 100 entries in it (thankfully only 63 ish have text) as each individual entry is the weapon and then the weapon attachment to change it into it's variant which each weapon has like 3-5 variants of. At least the weapon names and their attachments have been translated and noted down so I don't have that headache...it's still a lot of copy and pasting. (Some attachments are out of order too) I'll have item names and such to do afterwards I bet....
So I think I remembered why I felt discouraged from this bit as one mistake means I could lose an entire sprite's worth of work to get back the original text.
I've also been reminded of my biggest grip to this day with the editor being the window as I can't resize it and the entries are so small for me to select with the font then being like this.

Untamed Well since I saw your post and continued on after an break I met a bunch of sprites with no text or just lock-on text to translate and so with the next break I'm taking now I've gone from roughly 9 to 67. So uh thanks.
EDIT PS: Just done some rough calculations that if I get 14 sprites done in a day I'll be done before the deadline....just barely. Though I need to get 14 more done today. Gonna aim for 16-18 a day so I can be finished in 23-26 days and thus have some leeway if I miss a day or two. (Yes I'm saying this for my future self)
EDIT2: Taking another....(maybe pet induced) break but I've gotten to sprite 90 so far the biggest text filled sprite was number 5.

Doing god's work, just don't burn yourself out mate
From what I've seen, you and TragicSolitude are literally the only chance we've got of getting this game translated, and as the saying goes, it's better late than never

I think the praise should go to Rat-attack alone since TragicSolitude last activity in this thread is June 2024, even if TragicSolitude online he already ignored this thread.

That's partially why I started working on the translation in the first place as it didn't seem like it was going to get one on ULMF so I decided to give it a crack after looking roughly into it.
You could easily say the same thing about myself in the past when I went completely dark about it all several times with the longest being 3 years. (in part due to me not knowing about the thread here but also being unable to continue with it for that long) I've gone off and made an mod for another game in the time, imported and tips and tricks dump from a discord on this site and made many other posts on this site while forgetting about translation but always having it screaming in the back of my mind. Off site I've gotten into Funscript stuff and masturbation toys.
They just don't have an reason to post I believe since what I've said covers what they would want to say if they did post so they would be double posting. Plus as I pointed out previously they are already busy with other projects that they moved on to due to believing I was still working on this as I had honestly failed to communicate properly to them that I was taking another pause.
Finally the work I've done on this translation I believe got long surpassed by them and Loneranger (whom took over the project when I went dark on ULMF for 3 years and helped with the reboot of it) since it had to be redone when we switched editor versions and rebooted the project anew since all previous translation work was effectively canned. I didn't really contribute that much to the work done. I'm even reusing the work both of them have done to get this final thing done which has always been one of my tasks that I gave myself to do.
Without either of their work this translation would be most likely still heavily unfinished be still slowly progressing away with no end in sight as we do now.

EDIT: Translation progress update for 20th: got to sprite 170 before stopping for an break/if not today. Had a lot of sprites that had story sensitive text in them that slowed me down massively. ;-;

(If anyone knows how to embed it into the post let me know as iframe is banned)26 Days remain to the self-imposed deadline, 313 sprites remain of the 483, 12 sprites a day to finish on time.
PS would you rather the update post was an separate post instead of an combined post? (if no new posts have occurred)
