i do like having the semantic distinction but im also a social constructivist and so lean more towards linguistic descriptivism, and most people these days would say jealous and envious can be used interchangable

The Japanese word the author is using is 嫉妬 (shitto). My decision to translate it either as "jealousy" or "envy" is pretty fast and loose (I guess "envy" sounds a little more egregious) and mostly comes down to whatever I think sounds nicer or more conversational. A professional translator would probably choose one word and stick with it.

If to live in this style is to be eccentric, it must be confessed that there is something good in eccentricity.

I think the reason that stereotype exists is specifically because that's a Western game and thus doesn't have much popularity in Japan so there aren't as many Japanese pros playing it

He didn't bring up the story because Tony said he was going to go pro in Hello 3 or even in FPSs in general. He's trying to illustrate that it's impossible for the Japanese to compete at all at any game, imo.

Everyone has said there are maybe 10 pros in all of Japan right now across all games.

I like to think in my version Oda is about to give him a dressing down about not being a creep, instead of what might actually happen.

Yeah it's pretty much a 50/50 chance of Oda lecturing him about how hosed up this is vs giving him advice on how to proceed

e: I guess it's also possible that he does both

It's just prudent to give up on any of your dreams if a child is more skilled than you at them.

I've seen some tiny girls drumming like crazy, so that's out. Children really good at singing? I'm not going to embarrass myself trying. And some squeaky voiced little runt kept calling me a rude racist word every time he headshotted me in counterstrike. Done with that noise.

Was gonna be a humanitarian or environmentalist, but then some cheeky upstart girls stole the spotlight.

Sigh. Back to my cave to think really hard about thinking.

Do people in Japan actually give a poo poo about doing a good job for poo poo wage

You see this "ganbatte!" crap in anime everywhere and naturally people pretend to do their best when the boss is watching, but you'd think adults like these two would know it's just mind-melting work culture bullshit.
