GarandMarine:
She's being held captive... somehow... in the city of Rowanapur (look it up)
Is it cold in here?:
Pintsize ran more or less the same when backed up to a desktop computer.
Carl-E:
The desktop was probably newer.
However, backwards compatibility is not always guaranteed.

Well, since pretty much all she's said to him are things to which "No" is the only sensible response...what would you expect? You think he should have a one-way (to anyone in earshot it would appear this way, given they don't know he's talking to a person they can't see or know is there) conversation with his unsolicited AI companion about the ethics of rubbing genitalia on plates?
Yeah, I'm sure that would go over real well. "No" is the only thing he could say to his imaginary friend while he's at work, and even that much might have his co-workers asking, "Why do you keep saying 'no' so much?"

Because it's simpler.
Oh, and the whole translation name change thing.
--- End quote ---
I don't find it simpler. Shorter, yes, but that's not the same thing. A portmanteau of 'gun' and a word representing a word representing 'dream' isn't simple. The English version is quite straightforward in comparison.
What whole translation name change thing? I mean, I am aware of the conversation around the vagaries of translation, but not where you stand on it. I don't mind changes so long as the author is fine with them and they don't obscure or dumb it down.
