Nah, I have to agree with andy^andrew.

This is how staged reaction looks like: https://www.residentialsystems.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/0...

The Steam's clip is actually nowhere near like that.

If you're good at acting you can go up on stage with somebody you met two weeks ago and people will believe that you're family.

It's funny how it works. I took an iPhone selfie of myself as the character that I go out to do street photography as and my wife and my son say "you staged that!" but then I hand out my business cards with it and everybody else tells me it is a great photo.

I can appreciate that the direction for this commercial was "just play the game and we'll find a good 2 second cut". I'm just worried that I'm seeing people compliment an advertisement. It's the kind of overt emotional marketing I would hope we'd all scroll past looking for the technical specifications.

Idiomatically, it’s “WHAT something looks LIKE” or “HOW something looks.”

It’s never, in EFL, “HOW…LIKE”

Next up is “make” vs “take” a decision.
