It is really quite hard to perceive variations in accent in unfamiliar languages.
I can separate Hitler's Austrian accent from regular German. It's quite distinctive. Lots of rolling Rs. The guy in Downfall (Hitler Reacts To Whatever parodies) did a great job with it.
I've got Mega Bombs (bomb dmg up. one bomb kills a boss), The Mark (tear dmg up), and the cursed skull that teleports me out of the room if I get to half health. So far bombs have been plentiful but i'm heading to catacombs II now with only one bomb.
Oh and I have the remote detonator so bombs don't blow up til I press space.
Everyone always thinks that the way they talk is "general american" or "zero" or whatever but they're always wrong.
They're wrong because they are not me.
Eh, the California thing is true though. It's because of Hollywood.
There is a "stereotypical california accent" that approximately 1% of Californians have.
And all the rest of us sound like we just walked off a soap opera or sitcom.
This is a joke a right? I mean, the actual "General American" accent is supposed to be the Midwest/Great Plains area. A lot of the early Hollywood actors were from Iowa/Kansas/Nebraska/Missouri.
Ludious: "Boy howdy, y'all, I jes et a whole messa tacos and way too many of dem durn M&Mers."
I fucked your mother bareback
Really? I don't think she even noticed.
Y'all.
everybody says yall now
Only as a joke and only in writing! The day a "y'all" slips out unbidden is the day I hurl myself off a cliff.

I grew up in western mass in a big italian american family, so while I was learning to speak, I was surrounded by people who talked like jersey shore characters. To the best of my knowledge, that accent is eradicated and does not come out no matter how many drinks I have.

well familiarity definitely helps
i think also if somebody points it out to you it makes it hugely easier too
I've watched the movie Inglorious Basterds three times and I still can't tell why the British spy's German is different from everyone else's.
I remember reading something about Germans revealing British spies by inviting them for dinner.
Brits apparently had a tendency to cut their meat into lots of pieces and then eat, while the French cut one piece off at a time. Or if it was the other way around.

Midwest people don't sound like TV-American English actors. Perhaps in the past? Met alot of mid-westerners in the Navy, and they sounded like a little bit of the south crept up and infected their speech.

I'll add that Brad Pitt did a not-so-good job with a Georgia/Tennessee accent in that same movie.

yeah, Celtic have a huge following in North Dublin
because hating the proddies is a real pastime
Heh. I remember when I was at uni there was a girl from Ireland that said she supported Celtic despite having no apparent interest in football generally. She was just convinced that good Catholics support Celtic.

I will admit that the area that the accent is in is pretty narrow. If you go to the wiki page for the General American Accent, there's a pretty accurate map that shows its range. Much further north, you get the Norwegian influenced fargo/Minnesoooota accent, farther south, you do get some southern influence, further east it gets like Chicagoan accent and further west, its hard to explain, but there's definitely an accent. "Wash" becomes "wersh."
But yeah, there are and were a lot of Hollywood actors and Newscasters from that area.
what, did someone actually start a blog called Bespoke Fucks?
A Tumblr, apparently.
Also that is now forever in the catalogue of data that google is keeping about me.

It blows my mind that Catholic vs Protestant is still a real thing in a place I think of as a modern country. Isn't it just a little embarrassing for all y'all?

All my friends are either from cork or dublin. Cork is the best. Getting drunk with them just turns into a song.
When I get drunk with my dublin boys it's just like "DUDE I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE SAYING"

Then please describe the accent that Californians have that is different than that?
And don't say "like and dude" because those are slang words not an accent.

And I hate it when it is used proudly.
It makes me neck tense up.
It's like being around a german.
i dont have a huge problem noticing variations in japanese accents, or french accents, etc

I've got Mega Bombs (bomb dmg up. one bomb kills a boss), The Mark (tear dmg up), and the cursed skull that teleports me out of the room if I get to half health. So far bombs have been plentiful but i'm heading to catacombs II now with only one bomb.
Oh and I have the remote detonator so bombs don't blow up til I press space.
French I notice, but I've always attributed that to a passing familiarity with it and the presence of recognisable vocabulary.
Thankfully that particular dialect of my dialect is dying out rapidly.

Seriously? The man manages to speak RP german.
Midwest people don't sound like TV-American English actors. Perhaps in the past? Met alot of mid-westerners in the Navy, and they sounded like a little bit of the south crept up and infected their speech.
When I get belligerent I sound like I'm from NY or Boston.
In general I sound like I'm from Iowa.
I'll add that Brad Pitt did a not-so-good job with a Georgia/Tennessee accent in that same movie.
I saw Frankie Bones DJ last night in a fogged out underground club last night.
It was fucking MADNESS.
basically I sound like the guy in the tracksuit
same play through. drank some chocolate milk and made another deal with the devil
You just wanted to post that video.
I get that.
But with the way people were talking about how amazingly funny it is, I thought that "Bespoke Fucks" was some kind of pun I wasn't getting.
Because a fucksmith is amusing, but not like, titling a blog after it kind of funny.
because hating the proddies is a real pastime
there's not really many better examples of that type of accent on youtube without the video being being someone smoking weed or fighting.
what, did someone actually start a blog called Bespoke Fucks?

It's not his German, it's the way he signals that he wants 3 beers. He doesn't use his thumb.
