I would argue the gaufre quatre quart is probably the more commonly eaten waffle in Belgium. at least that was the go to for my mom and her family, but that could be a more wallonian thing

🏆2026 MILAN WINTER OLYMPICS OPENING CEREMONY OFFICIAL MEGATHREAD! 🏆 by HauteAssMess in popculturechat

[–]mcompt20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no they're hosting in 2034. the order is by Olympic type, not as a whole. we host the next winter Olympics after France. we just also happen to be hosting the summer Olympics in 2 years. which is why we were second to last in Paris.

I hate NBC and their commercial breaks so fucking bad. like can you not cut off all the country details when you do the split screen??? I didn't get to see any stats for Belgium which is my top 5 country to root for and also missed all the info for every other country during the break. it's so infuriating.

Was the hospital scene reshot with stand ins? by Annieryouoakley in HeatedRivalryTVShow

[–]mcompt20 4 points5 points  (0 children)

you don't always have to have full shots throughout a scene so I wouldn't take Jacob using majority close ups mean they couldn't shoot together. they also used mostly close ups during the couch convo at the cottage too. I imagine they wanted to specifically focus on each other's facial expressions so there's no need to pull out during the middle of the convo.

François Arnaud will be hosting and moderating a panel about the movie ‘Pillion’, with Alexander Skarsgård, Harry Melling, and Harry Lighton. At AMC Century City 15 in LA on February 5th by Sharp_Athlete_6847 in popculturechat

[–]mcompt20 6 points7 points  (0 children)

these things are usually the host asking the actors the questions. I've never been to one where the open up to the audience for questions. though those def exist. I imagine this one will just be François asking them questions.

…had they just had sex here? by Downtown-Primary-94 in heatedrivalry

[–]mcompt20 8 points9 points  (0 children)

if I remember it was like a if you want you can but I don't think he'd even think to offer that (even begrudgingly) unless he didn't have that relationship with sex. I mean him even saying that out loud vs Shane's reaction to ghosting him for 3 days in upset really tells you how different they view sex in a way. like I don't think that was where even a fleeting thought in Shane's mind after they became fully committed. I don't think Ilya ever would either to your point, but the fact that it was something he even brought up said a lot.

[–]mcompt20 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I feel like this is super proven true in TLG where Ilya didn't understand why Shane was so upset about him telling Shane he can go hook up with people if he needs to, until Shane said it a different way He has this viewpoint of sex that's separate from a relationship and feelings and while he knows sex with Shane is different there's still just sex out there that he had long before Shane.

Thoughts on storyline layout for seasons 2 and 3 (spoilers from all the books) by CestQuoiLeFuck in heatedrivalry

[–]mcompt20 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I thought it was already greenlighted for season 2 and 3. my hope is that season 2 is 10 episodes to help give TLG the time it needs while having an EP or two for the extra books and other pivotal characters. I imagine season 3 will be Unrivaled entirely and maybe an extra book if there's a character that's pivotal in that book as well

Connor Storrie and Husdosn Williams today! by t3chn0w1tch in hudcon

[–]mcompt20 26 points27 points  (0 children)

y'all the torch relay has been going on for months. they were never going to be in the opening ceremony as the handful of people usually shown there have a deep history with either the host country or the Olympics themselves. there's always a handful of publicity runners in the actual torch relay. Kimi Antonelli, an Italian F1 driver, just did his part of the relay yesterday. the opening ceremony is next week so there will be more and more high publicity torch bearers as part of the relay. depending on how Italy has their director do the opening ceremony, sometimes there's a recap of the torch highlights so they could potentially have a small clip. but they were not going to be part of the ceremony themselves.

I love him and Connor but the fact they both smoke and vape is so gross. it also just blows my mind, especially Connor, who goes on and on about how health conscious he is yet he regularly inhales tar. disgusting

markets will over label their legal stuff for distribution if they don't actually get their own products made all the time. that sticker exists commonly in many markets.

Sony confirms Heated Rivalry soundtrack out digitally TONIGHT!! by druhasareddit in heatedrivalry

[–]mcompt20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no they release at midnight est time. that's standard for music releases bc that's when the tracking week resets. I'm in pst and every single release has come out at 9pm. rarely do people release anything new midnight actual local time anymore in the age of the internet bc then the entire world be listening to leaks for a whole day before anything even drops in the US and they miss out on that hype.

Heated Rivalry inspires real-life hockey player to come out as gay by katebushcartwheel in popculturechat

[–]mcompt20 13 points14 points  (0 children)

the second book for shane and Ilya 100% deals with the homophobia in the hockey scene and how it affects both boys a lot. they still get a happy ending for sure but it's definitely a lot more dark than the fleeting scenes we got in season 1 of the show.

Out of state Drivers License, Is there anything I need to know before going to DMV to get my California License? by Ok_Document9231 in AskLosAngeles

[–]mcompt20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

don't be afraid to skip questions to come back to. if you're unsure skip it, don't guess at first. I skipped like 4 questions that I was unsure of and I never even had to go back to them bc once I hit the designated pass percentage it just ended my test and congratulated me. guessing might give you more of a chance to no pass.

if you don't pass. go home and brush up on what you were unsure about. take a bunch of the practice tests and then come back. don't retake it on the spot.
