@MrXMysteriousX10 ай бұрын
@@Yarott75 the point I was making was that the only way he'd get that pronunciation correct is if he was either a gamer who'd organically come across it or he had gone to the extra effort to ensure it was precise, not that you'd need to be a gamer to pronounce them. Since he likely isn't a gamer it meant he hadn't come across them before. It would mean then that he put in deliberate extra effort to learn it- that was the point I was stressing. Also it's rather common for some movie actors to just pronounce it any old way, so it was nice to see the effort put in.
