Serious question: Have purikura machines gotten racier and added a lot more soft lighting in the last eight years, or is it just me?

This is random but...I've spent too much time trying to figure it out. What does, "がんばつて” mean? I feel like it's a proverb and that's why I keep getting wonky translations x__x

I think your problem is the つ

It’s a little つ（っ）which comes out to がんばって or 頑張って　in kanji.  It means do your best or persevere and might be said when we say good luck in English.  It’s a conjugated form of the verb 頑張る（がんばる）。

Hope that helps!
