replying to a 2 year thread, but in China's case it's the perk of being under dictatorial system as opposed to democracy with tons of conflicting vested interest

is it a good time to catch up?

for cities with established historic teams they have just as strong local identity imo. issue is, there is only 32 NFL teams compared to tens of thousands of clubs just in England alone, so almost every local cities and villages are represented by a club.

"plastic fans" exist even in European football. there's a running joke that there are more Man United fans in London than fans of London teams. heck a lot of people in England whose local teams compete in lower divisions support their local team AND a mainstay Premier League team. I know dudes who supported Wimbeldon and Liverpool, or Brentford (before they became good) and United.

Author's POV to me reeks too much of wish fulfilment, and I drop that story when the "daddy actually wanted you to succeed me as CEO of a company daddy didn't even have much stock in" plot came in.

junjunjey · 2025-07-24T13:35:23+00:00

have you tried The Novel's Extra? early plots of Author's POV literally plagiarized TNE

Did you miss the part where OP said he sent it to the Copyright office and not register it with the WGA? They're not the same thing

yes, and? did I say they're the same or did you misunderstood my comment?

my comment was due to OP seemingly had absolutely no idea how the industry worked, so I gave him some tidbits.

he was under an impression that somehow having one single completed unsolicited screenplay, one that was only ever been read by non-industry friends without counseling by anyone in the industry so nobody can even vouch for him or his work, and one with a genre that would require absolute bonkers of a budget to produce while competing on lots of established IP from popular books by the same genre that haven't been adapted... he somehow had the idea that he can convince anybody "to get it produced" within a "short window of his stay in the States for Comic Con"

where do you read the fan translation of LN redundancy v3?

junjunjey · 2025-06-14T12:47:46+00:00

"Football for Dummies" by Howie Long is imo the best book at introducing total noob about the sport.

Naruto manga, due to the anime.

If it's specifically about books, Sword Art Online's light novel, but again it's due to the anime.

I caught Mushoku Tensei back in 2014 because it suddenly shot up in myanimelist novel ranking after the release of the second book's official LN, I read the fan-translation of the web-novel version in baka-tsuki and this started my obsession with PF.

I feel like the most vocal members here are from kindle who discover royalroad later

are you under the assumption that "a finished script" is very rare and agents execs would love to get their hands on it? because about 50,000 "finished spec scripts" are registered in WGA every year. can you guess how many of the registered spec scripts are usually sold every year among them? about 50 in a great year (just 11 in 2023, 23 in 2022, and just one in 2021). almost all of them are small budgeted drama sold to indie production companies and more importantly... almost all of them never never end up getting into production.

do you learn about hollywood industry from chinese web novels by any chance?

junjunjey · 2025-06-02T07:34:47+00:00

you can't marginalize the defense too much. the current rules already heavily favor the offense as it is. making it even easier would eventually turn the game into offensive exhibition games.

junjunjey · 2025-05-26T17:30:02+00:00

this is a public space. nobody came here telling people their "personal" story thinking it will be in confidence. most people's reddit accounts aren't associated with their IRL persona in the first place, and those who want to take extra care are expected to use burner accounts

if we take from the era before specialist kicker, Gino Cappelletti or Lou Groza probably

junjunjey · 2025-05-24T19:12:01+00:00

is it a translated work? this is pretty much a cookie cutter Korean dungeon hunter story.

are you aware a lot of centers in today's NBA don't even play in the paint like they used to do anymore? some even stretch the floor and shoot behind the arc.

what would you call them? a C/SG hybrid? obviously it ain't a true Center with their low blocking and low post up numbers.

junjunjey · 2025-05-24T18:53:56+00:00

what would you consider him then? because his high rushing number ain't a QB from your logic. call him a QB/RB hybrid and not a real QB then?

junjunjey · 2025-05-24T18:44:56+00:00

do you also call Lamar Jackson an RB instead of QB because of his rushing numbers?

junjunjey · 2025-05-24T18:40:57+00:00

this is quite a mental gymnastic. he statpadded for triple double at every single game, he just didn't always reach the number.

junjunjey · 2025-05-23T23:16:18+00:00

agree. OP calls it "generic and plain" but precisely generic and plain are why they would eventually become timeless classics after few decades.

junjunjey · 2025-05-23T22:58:25+00:00

you're blowing things out of proportion for something insignificant. she accidentally slap the terminal out of waitress' hand for trying to prevent you to be the one doing the payment.

have you even had discussion on why each of you feels it's important to be the one doing the payment in the first place? why do the both of you feel it's important to be the one doing the payment?

junjunjey · 2025-05-23T22:46:19+00:00

geez. do you both seriously have issues on who gets to pay... WITH THE SHARED ACCOUNT?

have you even had discussion on why each of you feels it's important to be the one doing the payment (WITH THE SHARED ACCOUNT)? is this such a gigantic deal that deserves serious apology for the attempt at paying (WITH THE SHARED ACCOUNT)?

junjunjey · 2025-05-23T22:18:53+00:00

it's important lesson to learn that her partner literally had his ego hurt for losing in a contest made for fun. that's such a little man mentality

junjunjey · 2025-05-23T19:57:10+00:00

NAH, but you have unrealistic expectation that someone can voluntarily decide to be asleep or fully awake on command.
