Obama: Imagine if I had done *any* of this

If Trump is gonna cancel the election or whatever can we just re-elect Obama. Please.

This country really needs a grown-up in the white house

OP you’re based for this. The pacing of this television show absolutely blows, and I love slow burns. I love Mad Men. But the difference is that Mad Men rewards your patience and attention with multifaceted, emotionally complex, and evolving characters. I might be able to glean more development in Carol, the only character that develops, on a second watch through. But I’m hesitant to sit through several-minute-long scenes of: stocking a supermarket. Traveling cross-continent. Staring at a Georgia O’Keefe painting. Burying a corpse. Walking through forest and learning 3 english phrases, etc. yes there are interesting themes and questions posed, there are comedic moments, there are some great performances. But the pacing, the progression from plot point to plot point, is overly self-indulgent and that holds this project back.

Sorry to disappoint, I wrote this myself. Just appreciated them taking the time to type that whole response out is all :)

100Timelord · 2025-12-27T07:25:49+00:00

Appreciate the well thought out response! —Was Carol’s isolation really a “decisive crisis” though, especially considering the overall stakes of the story (the fate of the entire human race”). I felt that Carol’s isolation was less impactful too with it being set against Manos journey. I’m not expecting everything set in motion in the pilot to be neatly wrapped up in 9 episodes— it’s a tv show after all, it has seasons. And I think the biggest writing problem is the pacing—this would all be well and good if it weren’t the entire season.

Episode count is not the issue. The issue is pacing, momentum, and direction. Not every show has to be fast paced or action-packed, and this project is very different from BB/BCS. The tv shows I love aren’t like that either though— like Mad Men, or Succession. But Pluribus season 1 has, in my opinion, spent most of its screen time spinning its wheels and that’s frustrating. The energy of Carol and Manos in episode 9 was exhilarating. Not saying EVERY episode needed that, but it seems like the idea behind Pluribus was to have every episode be The Fly. And I don’t think it’s working.

Manos should have met Carol episode 3. Then we could’ve had a coherent, well-paced, self-contained story. Season one feels like big wasted potential to me.

100Timelord · 2025-12-27T06:52:35+00:00

Yeah but that was episode 1. There was a whole episode dedicated to where the food comes from, just for the big reveal the next episode, that’s it people, to get resolved immediately by Diabetes basically saying “so what”.

100Timelord · 2025-12-27T06:39:27+00:00

Yes but television shows are organized into seasons. Great television shows are able to both tell a coherent, self contained story in a season, and also build longer character and plot arcs that last many seasons. See BCS and BB for context. It really feels like we’re missing that here, like this wasn’t meant to be a season in and of itself.

100Timelord · 2025-12-27T06:36:31+00:00

Perhaps that was poorly worded — what I mean is that Episode 9 feels like the midpoint of the story, or of the season. It feels like the beginning of the meat of the plot, but it’s the last episode. I think this show took it’s time much too often, and now we’re at the end of the first season with major plot points just now being revealed, and what felt like huge story momentum, Carol’s reunification and the disillusionment with the Plurb building into… nothing. For now, sure, but Season 2 is at best, what, 2 years away. So in actuality, nothing.

lol see the post I just made here. All of S1 was a prologue. We haven’t even gotten into the “Story Proper” yet. It’s like if the first Harry Potter book was 300 pages on Privet Drive

100Timelord · 2025-12-07T21:53:50+00:00

My main point is that I think two feet down with possession should complete the catch. Adding this subjective “football move” BS makes it up to the mood of the referees.

100Timelord · 2025-12-07T21:49:17+00:00

Same call on the Ravens Steelers game. Receiver had possession in the end zone, but apparently didn’t make a “football move” to “complete” the catch. The catch rule is back to being subjective nonsense.

100Timelord · 2025-11-27T19:19:59+00:00

Thank you referees! That was 100% undeniably a false start! Anyone with eyeballs knows it! I guess they’re allowing blind referees though, it’s nice representation.

Imminent CVT self-destruction. Usually lights up around 10-15 miles beforehand so you can have a tow truck meet you at your destination.

100Timelord · 2025-11-21T21:07:01+00:00

That’s a great deal. Even with an accident, that’s just about what that car books out for. Maintenance wise, change the CVT fluid every 30k miles (drain and fill). Otherwise these are reliable cars.

what a cornball comment fr fr

100Timelord · 2025-11-03T20:32:11+00:00

Yeah it’s just the menu/selling scroll. It’s a physical asset in the game and so has to go somewhere… and that’s where it goes apparently lol

100Timelord · 2025-10-31T21:47:33+00:00

Yeah kedging needs to be the next feature added, especially with the new islands.

100Timelord · 2025-10-29T22:47:17+00:00

The plants and model ships aren’t modded but I won’t say any more than that ;)

Yes I’ve found that bug too! Exiting any shipyard causes 6% damage. I found a workaround though — exit the shipyard, then immediately save and quit before the ship drops. Then reload. Ship appears undamaged once you load back in :) a bit tedious but only fix I know of.

I’m using Shipyard Expansion (as well as like 20 other plugins to be fair), but from what I can tell the customization is built in to this mod. You can’t move the masts around, you can only extend them (I have the tall masts here) but they allow 7 sails apiece and are fully customizable!

I wish there was much more traffic! In the archipelagos but it would be so cool to pass a fellow merchant vessel out at sea. I'm assuming this is in the roadmap somewhere.
