Pronounciation of title?

It is unclear...
My Side? (This is what I've been calling it, inferring that she take you to her side of the screen)
Me Side? (engrish?)
Me See De (Straight jpn pronunciation?)

the japanese is written in katakana ミサイド and pronounce Mi Saido, aka the english way.

doesn't seem to be a wordplay on the name mita either, so i'd just go with a stylized version of my side.

on the other hand, the chinese localization 米塔 _is_ pronounced as mita, and as far as i can see is also written as a name not a noun.

I've been just calling it Mee-side because the main heroine is named Mee-ta and she's always beside me.

It's pronounced me-side. Just like how Mita is pronounced me-ta.

wouldn't it be me-seda by that logic?

No, I don't think so. Side have an 'e' at the end. It causes the 'i' to sound like the actual word "I" (as in "I play games"). The 'e' is also silent unlike words such as "either" or "then."

I call it Me See De simply because it’s cuter and sounds like Mercedes

"Ми-ми-мишность" russian sort of cozy-cuteness. Should sonund like Mi-mi-ish or close to it. Thus Mi-side is local cute corner. My explanation.

There must be at least one person that pronounces it "my seed"

I pronounce the name as MeeSide, mostly because MySide sounds a bit.. pretentious?

I pronounce it that way specifically to anger people, so you'd be right. :3

It is very fun to sometimes put the emfausis on the incorrect seelahbull.

Although, in this case, I think that probably they're all correct.
I hadn't thought of saying it that way and I find that very funny.

However, I will probably continue to call it "Me side" because phonetically that is distinct from other two syllable pronunciations such as "my side" which has a different meaning than just to refer to this game, thus "Me side" is easier for a listener to follow and understand what is being communicated.

If it were definitely supposed to be pronounced "my" then it would be spelled "MySide" not "MiSide", therefore it's ambiguous and up to interpretation.

Let's take this a bit further though, and pretend that we're a vtuber with a cute female chibi character cheerily greeting our stream,
"Hello everyone! Today we're going to be playing ME-SEED-AY! Can I get some pogs in the chat?"
