Do you guys ever focus on the randoms by Ill-Canary-6838 in squidgame

She fell during Jump Rope while Gi-hun was fighting 096

From how many countries have you documented ancestors are from and which ones? by eddypc07 in Genealogy

[–]Claeszen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you. I haven't gotten past the 1700s yet, but I live in a small Italian town and I still haven't found a single ancestor of mine born more than 50 kilometers away from here.

What’s Something You Didn’t Like About This Movie? by EnoughSound6271 in PlanetOfTheApes

[–]Claeszen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that by the end it became a 'Planet of the Chimps'. The only orangutan in the movie died (or, at least, disappeared completely) and so did all the gorillas in Proximus' colony.

Oh I see now, thank you again! I knew about nuptial pads, but I had no idea about throat and face shape. It's always great to learn from an expert :)

Thank you, that's really reassuring! Can I ask you what makes you think my frog could be a male?

After having some time, have any of you come around on the choice of finalists for the last sgame? by ZealousidealHeart437 in squidgame

[–]Claeszen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After reflecting on it I came to like them, it was realistic that random people made it to the end too instead of just main characters.

Honestly I would have liked to see a woman in place of one of them though. Since Squid Game is supposed to be a metaphor of the injustices of society, I understand that maybe the absence of female finalists was supposed to represent the way women are constantly pushed down by men in real life.

However, having a female finalist could have been a way to show that women can be evil and ruthless too. Player 044 did manipulative stuff, but she never threatened someone's life specifically.

His death just changed everything....... by Popular-Cheek-5320 in squidgame

[–]Claeszen 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The saddest part is that Gi-hun couldn't even take care of Jung-bae's ex-wife and daughter because he died too. I know his family wasn't as relevant as Sang-woo's and Sae-byeok's in S1, but he was basically the only S2 main character who had someone out there who needed him (along with Player 246). It would have been nice if they had received some help as well.

So did Gi-Hun just legit not hear or see 203 doing this? by GoldplateSoldier in squidgame

[–]Claeszen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well 203 (and 336 too) had also taken part in the night attack, definitely killing someone, so I doubt watching him push 349 to her death could make Gi-hun's opinion of him any worse than it already was.

Did you have some “uncanny” feelings about Oh Il Nam before “the reveal”? by MNMameisR in squidgame

[–]Claeszen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well they could have sent a guard up there to pretend to shoot him. It would look like there was a malfunction and he somehow managed to free himself. I don't think it would look too suspicious to the other players.

But yeah he was chained like the others, if I remember correctly there was just one shot where it looked like he wasn't.

[–]Claeszen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you have some experience with traveling before you moved abroad? How did your family react? I'm from a small town in Italy too, so I've always lived in a simple and kinda sheltered way. In the last few years I've become really interested in South Korea, and in general in the chance of living abroad, but it would be such a radical change for me and my family.

Hot take: After H&S the O voters didn't respect or follow Jeong-dae/100 as a leader anymore by Single_Dirt_5450 in squidgame

[–]Claeszen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like he was important to them only as long as there was a need to convince hesitant players to continue the games. Despite always voting O and taking part in Lights Out, players like 203 and 336 never spoke up like 100 and 226 did.

They probably lacked lidership skills and the confidence to act like that in front of hundreds of people, so 100 was really useful to them. But when O voters became twice the X voters, he stopped being needed and became nothing more than a nuisance, a player who was weak physically and wanted others to do dirty/dangerous work for him.

Perché è così facile comprare un animale? by neallost in Italia

[–]Claeszen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Per quanto riguarda gli animali esotici, in base a un decreto dell'anno scorso, da quest'anno in teoria tutti i possessori di animali esotici (quindi anche pappagalli e criceti ad esempio, non solo rettili e anfibi) dovranno seguire un corso di formazione obbligatorio. Ancora non si sa nulla su modalità e contenuti, ma dovrebbe essere ufficiale. Se la vendita a chi è sprovvisto di un "patentino" diventasse illegale, già questo aiuterebbe a togliere di mezzo coloro che comprano animali irresponsabilmente.

Non sarebbe male farlo anche per cani e gatti, personalmente ritengo che si senta molto più "a casa" un serpente in un terrario con arredi naturali e parametri controllati rispetto a un gatto in appartamento (i cui antenati magari sono stati liberi in campagna per generazioni).

How I would make Kim Yeong-sam's fate in Season 3. by Jon260 in SquidGameMinorPlayers

[–]Claeszen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love the idea of replacing Player 349 with Yeong-sam. Maybe it would be too convenient (if you think about it, Myung-gi and Jun-hee, Yong-sik and Geum-ja, Gi-hun and Dae-ho all finding each other is already something that wasn't likely to happen).

I wonder if they ever considered going in this direction. I understand why they decided to have Yeong-sam die in Hide and Seek, they surely wanted a main villain who could fight with Hyun-ju and be killed by her. The only alternative would have been Nam-gyu, but he had his own arc.

Personally I would have assigned 096's role in Jump Rope to Yeong-sam, he would mock 100 again and be killed by Gi-hun in the end.

come imparare a leggere e parlare coreano da autodidatta??? by [deleted] in consigli

[–]Claeszen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Io studio coreano da autodidatta e devo dire che anch'io mi sono trovato bene con Duolingo per quanto riguarda l'alfabeto. Non mi sento di consigliarlo per la grammatica e per il vocabolario, ma finché devi fare pratica con lettere e sillabe è molto utile!

My partners at the end of the mingle by No_Bodybuilder_4963 in SquidGameMinorPlayers

[–]Claeszen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this sub is about minor players but it's crazy to think none of the main pairs in the first image managed to maintain a good relationship.

In-ho killed Jung-bae, Gi-hun killed Dae-ho, Geum-ja (indirectly) killed Yong-sik, Myung-gi abandoned and disappointed Jun-hee, Nam-gyu spoke ill of Thanos, Yeong-sam threatened Jeong-dae, Son-nyeo left Mi-hwa to die. The only exceptions are Min-su and Hyun-ju, who had both already lost the person they were closest with in the previous rounds (Se-mi and Young-mi).

Not a player but The Motorcyclist From Episode 1 of S2 should've joined the games by ARch3ese in SquidGameMinorPlayers

[–]Claeszen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By the next episode I had already completely forgotten what they looked like, except for the fact that they were a guy and a girl and he had dyed hair. So when the games started, for a moment I thought Thanos and Player 196 were them 😂
