my take on "can you be a fan of a game if you haven't played it" is yes in the sense you can i.e. be a fan of a sport without practicing it. But I think we all agree that watching a game on tv and being the one who is kicking the ball are fundamentally different experiences/
I am aware it's not a perfect 1:1 analogy because the athlete is also the creator of the performance the fan is watching, while a gamer is also a consumer of a partly pre-designed experience. But there's still that degree of separation from a completely passive consumption
saying things like this bc they ignore/the cultural context of the time and just how dark and evil it was to women. being mildly overweight was an excuse for public ridicule and mockery. people make fun of the body positivity movement but they have no idea how much it saved us
the ‘hydration’ breaks at the world cup are so ridiculous cause they take all the speed and flow and momentum of the match away. truly a horrible addition and i sincerely hope it won’t last past this world cup
I think it's interesting we see him at his softest, talking about Claudia and his grief for her, in the scene that Lestat basically admits to be fabricating because he wasn't there to witness it. That's a side of Louis Lestat never forgot
has the James Bond series ever tried to properly grapple with the fact that Bond is less of a spy or even really a hero and is pretty evidently a hatchet man
honestly, in this fanfic flopping fiasco/discourse, i just think that the most important thing is to have a friend who you can share it with & scream about it together. that's why i really dont give a fuck if no one reads it, bc i know ree did & liked, & that's all i care about
The answer is actually that Brazilian star players nowadays get sold to European clubs at too young an age, depriving them of the important development stage of jogo bonito and sexual depravity required for true Brazilian football excellence.
a lot is made of brazil’s football culture where babies pop out the womb doing round the worlds but it has built an entire country of people too egotistical to play full back or scrappy poaching 9 and that’s why they’ll never win another WC
Don't think I ever posted this from demo-jan20151.xlsx: there's extra context behind why Eli threw Shabani's necklace down into the gas room. The child soldier with an injured leg is Shabani's little brother, or if he wasn't rescued, another one of the kids from the mine.
ALT 以下、シャバニ弟役を「少年兵1」と表記する。
(「捕虜抹殺」ミッションでシャバニの弟が死んでいる場合は、一緒に捕まっていた少年兵の生き残りを代わりに使うため)
Shabani's little brother as Child Soldier 1.
(If Shabani's little brother died in the ""Eliminate POWs"" mission, one of the surviving child soldiers held with him is used here instead.)
実はリキッドにお守りを投げ捨てられた。
リキッドは兄弟の絆など糞食らえと思っている。
俺達が新しい家族だ。兄貴の思い出にすがるな。そう言って捨てた。
フェイシャルスタート
でも皆リキッドが怖くて本当の事が言えない。
The truth is that Eli threw the necklace down there.
Eli pisses on the idea of sibling ties.
As Eli threw the necklace down the shaft, he said, "We are your new family. Stop clinging to your brother. He's dead."
Starting facial recording.
But everyone is too afraid of Eli to tell the adults what really happened.
が、言葉では伝えられないし、伝えても信じてもらえないと思っている。
リキッドがやったことは後に無線でわかる。
But Quiet can't tell the others what happened through words, and she thinks that even if she could, they wouldn't believe her.
We learn that Eli was the real culprit in a later radio conversation.

i’m so sorry to say that french speakers don’t understand when sam speaks French any better than you do 😭 avec tout le respect on comprend rien😭
they also did the thing that never makes sense to me of having a dialogue that is implicitly spoken in French, in English with a French accent. The only character with an accent there should have been Gabriella
This is truly horrendous. Curaçao have just scored their first ever World Cup goal and have momentum and then they stop the game for commercials. Absolutely detest this. No place for this nonsense in football.
