not to be pretentious but yall should really read this… C.H.A.T. (Come Here for All Talk)

Gonna start describing North American wildlife like people describe Australian wildlife.
"The Polar Bear is native to North America and it's the largest terrestrial carnivore in the world. They're also one of the only animals that actively hunt humans, and they also hunt whales."
"Black Bears are highly adaptable and frequently wander into urban areas and they are known to see humans as prey."
"You stand no chance against a Cougar. If you ever see one, pray."
"The Golden Eagle is one of the largest eagles in the world and hunts full grown deer."
"The Black Widow is the deadliest spider in the world."
"Even the trees want to kill you in North America."
"Deer are responsible for over a hundred deaths a year in North America."
 
I recently started watching Succession. It's a great show, I've been enjoying it very much

I just don't think some of the dialogue sounds that realistic. Everyone is swearing all the time, like everyone is saying "fuck" every 2 seconds. I think this way of writing started with The Sopranos, where it made a lot of sense, everyone was constantly stressed and arguing and they were all little criminals from Jersey. Succession is about big criminals in NY but idk it's a bit much

Or maybe Americans just swear all the time?
 
Swearing with censored "fuck" is weird. The whole point of saying "fuck" is to seem edgy and badass but if you censor it then you just prove that you are too afraid to use the uncensored word, making you seem the opposite of edgy and badass.

Even if you don't dare use "fuck" uncensored because you are afraid YouTube will demonetize you then censoring your own "fuck" still makes you look like a wimp as it shows YouTube has got you by the ballz which they wouldn't be able to do if you were the edgy badass you try to present yourself as.

If you want to seem edgy and badass but don't dare use "fuck" then perhaps it's better to just not use the word at all and leave it ambiguous whether you would dare use it instead of proving you don't dare use it by censoring yourself.

I just 100% completed demon tides (a 3d platformer).
this 24.5 euro game gave me 45.6 hours of gameplay.
it can be somewhat frustrating here and there but for the most part it is a pretty fun experience.
I like it when a game is actually worth 100% completion.

I don't think most people use it that way, at least not most adults. I curse a lot, and have no pretensions of being edgy, let me assure you. Curses help me express the intensity and energy of my feelings, and more positive and neutral feelings than negative ones. For me, they're a great general purpose "spice" to add some more energy to my speech. If there were good non-curse equivalents, I'd consider them, because why not, but none come to mind!

In general, a lens of "People's actions are to put an insincere front out there, to seem like something, to manipulate others into believing something" isn't the happiest way to view the world. Sure, that happens sometimes, but people have all kinds of reasons for doing things, and plenty of authentic ones too!

Have you considered talking like a pirate?

I didn't say it's insincere. But either way it's not an unhappy view. It's none of my business what they are like normally. I think it's often good to put up a front because that's what could get them good results and it doesn't do any harm.
 
I watched the third episode of welsh and shedar.
That episode's animation was awful.
They put Sipho behind a rock so they will not animate his transformation, and that flashback that Jorris naratted was full of stiĺl images.
Did they run out of budget already?

The other 2 episodes didn't have great animation but they were passable.

It is sad that Ankama didn't make the series themsrlves, when they animate the animation is average at worst and great at best.
They just had to go to an inexperienced Japanese studio.
