This kind of thing has always been fascinating to me, i.e. how very clever puns and wordplay in one language sound like completely untranslatable garbage nonsense in other languages.

But then, "Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo" sounds like utter garbage nonsense in English, even though it is, apparently, a grammatically correct sentence in the English language. Which would become completely untranslatable garbage nonsense in Japanese.

And Baba Is You is another one of my "haven't tried it yet, but maybe someday" games.
