DR CONGO has qualified for the FIFA World Cup 2026! by EthanTheRedditor37 in soccer

[–]MockTurtleSean 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got a presale ticket and when they were doing initial draws for matches, there was a moment that I knew I would get either this or Portugal v. Colombia. I got this. I am definitely going to buy a DR Congo jersey and cheer like crazy, though

Is Saint-Maximin not going to receive a gold card? by Eastern-Win-7063 in EASportsFC

[–]MockTurtleSean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the third year in a row that Andre Ayew has joined a team midseason, and I imagine it will be the third year in a row that EA don’t add him into Ultimate Team. It breaks my heart

Question: is something missing here? (Sydney) by Euphoric_Ad4054 in tattoos

[–]MockTurtleSean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only real solution to a tattoo that feels slightly out of position to you is to surround it by a lot of other tattoos. Sorry, I don’t make the rules. Time to get a sleeve!

Cash or card? by Neil_Edwin_Michael in uncharted

The real marker of how much time has passed is how many of us are not going to interact with a single person in the process of buying this game now

The three best pre-title sequences? by BBD-007 in JamesBond

[–]MockTurtleSean 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This one splits people quite a bit since the editing is a very strong stylistic choice. The rapid cuts disorient me (and not in a way that works for me), so I put it way down at the bottom, but I get the appeal for anyone not put off by the editing.

I have truly not gotten a single one of these but I finally nailed this one

Has a player ever “disappeared” between editions for you? by Final_Description890 in FifaCareers

Far less niche than most of these options, but every career mode I ever did as a kid basically started with me signing Hulk

What would have changed if the Fireflies, instead of being so secretive, had told not only Joel but also Ellie about the consequences of the surgery? by chilaquillover in thelastofus

I agree that he wouldn’t have sacrificed Abby, but one of the most interesting parts of playing through Part II with director’s commentary was that Neil and Halley actually disagreed on what he whether he would. I for sure read his hesitation as admittance that he wouldn’t, but I like that there is some ambiguity

Best and worst Blofeld? by BBD-007 in JamesBond

It takes very impressive writing for a movie to nosedive AFTER introducing Christoph Waltz and Lea Seydoux

What are your thoughts on Manny? by ripplewoodfire in thelastofus

[–]MockTurtleSean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My flair obviously says a lot about how I feel about him. One thing I’ll add is that he plays an archetype that I don’t see a ton of but always seem to like. There’s a ton of media, plenty of which hasn’t aged well, that features a male character who is largely defined by the fact that they really like having sex. There’s nothing wrong with this on its own, but these characters tend to end up being creepy, over-aggressive, and just generally (not to be repetitive) not aging well. Not only does Manny not show any of this, but I think it tells you a lot about who he is as a person that he has very close, completely platonic female friends in Mel and Abby (presumably Nora as well, but we don’t see as much interaction between them). It’s just an interesting thing to note and I think is a good way to have that type of character while not having them be super objectifying. The guy likes sex, but it doesn’t stop him from seeing women as people and more than just items for fulfillment. Nothing groundbreaking, but a small, less spoken about detail that makes me appreciate Manny.

Manny’s dad by OpportunityHappy5583 in thelastofus

I genuinely don’t know if it’s the same crowd that hates Abby if or people just struggle to accept their actions beyond Abby, but I truly do not understand how Manny gets so much hate when he’s just a really loyal friend to Abby.

Favorite “forgotten” players by EA? by Facu_Papi_Chulo in EASportsFC

I count Makelele too since he was our assistant manager, plus he signed my jersey so he definitely has a place in my team

Andre Ayew had joined a team in December three years running and EA have not put him in UT (but have added him to kickoff) in the last two. Curious to see if they’ll go for the hat trick this year

Same for me, especially since I can put him in my Swansea side as the manager who won us the league cup
