Max on twitch during virtual Nürburgring 24h race | 14 May 2023
Atze: Any interest getting that RB19 into iRacing, Max?
Max: You can't because iRacing already has the Mercedes and with the contract it says you can only have one F1 car in the game
A: But no one is driving that car anymore
M: No, because it's shit
A: And it's way too complicated I think as well
M: And it looks ugly [*sips red bull*]
Kaiser can switch between his Meta Vision Eye to his Predator Eye within seconds??? The two visions were said to be incompatible, no?
Predator Eye: Described as the complete opposite of Metavision, instead of expanding his vision, Barou drastically narrows it down and focuses solely on the goalkeeper, and waits patiently for the opponent to drop his guard and score a goal. [from Baro's wiki]
predator eye is raised as an ability tailored to duel goalkeepers; isagi, who doesn't think to gain predator eye for himself (and in fact thinks of the ability as one incompatible with his meta-vision), may not be in the habit of thinking of goalkeepers as valid opponents. [via (x)]
but here, Ch. 232, he activates his MV eyes
(why there be a BZZT lmao?? are his eyes flicking a mechanic switch between the two states??):
(Obligatory Attaboy Ness panel; lost and found thanks again to @riririnnnn ❤️)
Continues to use his metavision, and then, 'vreens' (lol) back to Predator Eye
Although he misses the goal thanks to Lorenzo, this is Very Interesting to me!
I hope Enstars game MVs can improve on their expressions someday because one of Rock Roar anime mv’s strengths is its expressions. Not because they are cool to look at, but because they communicate how the characters are feeling towards the songs and eachother
Take for instance Keito. In the anime, he sings the song with a angry expression. It’s because he is desperate. He needs his Deadmanz plan to work. He needs to use the great Rei Sakuma to succeed. He has a lot of stakes singing this and that’s why he looks so desperate. In contrast, Rei is more laidback. He has probably already figured out a loophole to Keito’s plan. He is performing like the talented idol everyone views him as
The in game mv softens Keito’s expressions. He looks more calm, similar to Rei
Both Koga and Rei have moments where they have a wide-eyed grinning expression that fit the song they are performing. It makes it seem like Koga is mimicking Rei, the guy he looks up to. It also suggests that Koga and Rei are more inclined to perform rock songs like this given how their facial expressions work naturally with this song
Also while not necessarily an example of facial expressions, I wish the in game MV had kept these moments in. Rei and Koga compliment each other in this performance. One of the few times Keito doesn’t have a tense expression in this mv is when he looks at Kuro. It makes sense given the future of the characters, but we actually get to see which set of characters work well with eachother before Deadmanz splits off. It’s a cool detail that I appreciate
Overall, Rock Roar in game MV could be improved upon if it kept the intense expressions the original had. They’re not just visually appealing, but they add a lot to the story of Crossroad as a whole
In an unfortunate pattern among international musicians, the nuances behind their more emotionally moving lyrics are often dumbed down or simplified when these songs are translated to English. Two prominent examples are Jeff Satur's "Dum Dum" and O-Zone's "Dragostea Din-Tei". Why is this such a common occurrence, and who makes these translation decisions in the long run? In this essay I will...
You’re literally so cool, like wdym ur gonna become a lawyer!? I admire you, while I’m here eating ramen everyday and complaining about all my assignments that im not gonna do till the last second
and what makes you think i'm not over here eating instant ramen and complaining about my assignments all day either 👀
while the english title of muu's song is "it's not my fault", another reading of it could be "i'm not a bad person", which given her now confirmed deal, is... ironic
OOOOO omg i love that for the mv i wonder why they translated it a different way then 🤔🤔 ig it sort of conveys the same idea BUT like "i'm not a bad person" excuses MORE than just the kill
