@tracer4b@cyntific Especially Kaeya. Like, I love the guy and he's half the reason I started playing (the other half being Diluc), but he's a pathological liar 🤣
So let me get this straight: Heated Rivalry couldn't use the name Bears because it was "too close" to the Bruins, but Off Campus can use the name Bruins outright?
NHL exec confirms Heated Rivalry did not approach the league before the show aired, but they have a "really close" working relationship now:
When ‘hockey romance books get adapted for the screen… many productions [choose] to engage with the professional leagues during the development process. The NHL knew about Off Campus, which uses its team names the Boston Bruins and the New York Rangers throughout the series.
Heated Rivalry, however, opted to go another path.
[NHL president of content and events Steve] Mayer says the team is now “really close” with Tierney, but noted that he and his producing partner Brendan Brady didn’t approach the league before the show aired.
“They wanted to make an authentic story to the book. Yes, there’s NHL in the book, but they wanted to do their own thing. We respect that. We truly do,” the executive [Mayer] says.
In Heated Rivalry, the television show, the men’s professional league was rebranded the MLH."

@b34tupchanelsss@zoespjorants And let's be real you know if one of them wins, it's essentially a win for both because they both acknowledge that Shane and Ilya are a package deal
@CrimsonZenith@DanielFugue They must have meant to say "Traveler" because there have been complaints that she turned into another "Aether harem" character (I don't agree with that)
@ashveilburger@symmetric_al ... I didn't know ZZZ also had a character named Nicole (I don't play it) so I totally thought the account *was* for Genshin Nicole 😅
@Yesinging@unrivaled It wasn't. It's only becoming popular now because of the hockey romance boom, and it's still far less popular than baseball and (American) football.
