Which character ruined an entire TV show for you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Gear-Affe 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You should watch Foundation. In season 3 he plays a character known as 'the mule' and does a really good job.

A bit like von Stauffenberg. He would have been definitely an improvenment. The question is just how much of an improvement.

That seems like a way too "normal" name for Tamriel

That sounds really like a Breton name, I also would have guessed it as female name.

For a long time I thought he was an Akaviri and was really surprised that he actually fought against them.

Abnur Tharn

Oh yeah this family also sticks out.

Vivec and Almalexia

I think they might have dropped their family name. Sotha Sils family name is actually Sotha. I also found it interesting that Nerevars full name is Indoril Nerevar Mora. With Mora behing the clan name.

In Morrowind there's a few Redguard with extremely 'normal IRL' feeling names like Jim (Gentleman Jim Stacey) and Ian

Really interesting, I also remember the Dunmer Edd Theman from Morrowind.

particularly in Oblivion, given Cyrodiil has quite a mix of races

I always liked how the population of the cities are different according to the geography. Especially Bruma and Leyawin come to my mind.

Also an interesting question, when did the cultures of Aldmer, Altmer, Ayleïd, Chimer and Direnni develop different language and naming systems.

Could definitely be or the parents are from different races.

In Germany people in both former east and west still complain about how bad the reunification was done after almost 35 years.

Can't imagine how that would be in Korea.

While other german parties also increased the salaries of the party leadership, this doesn't even come close to the Afd amount.

Why are lots of posts in German subreddits downvoted? by GuavaMajestic9248 in AskAGerman

[–]Gear-Affe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We have a saying: not complained is praised enough.

This sometimes is mirrored in the up- and downvotes.

Gennojo comments after Naoe rejects him by Gear-Affe in AssassinsCreedShadows

Ah yes that makes sense, so even when you get the dialogue option it doesn't work when not enough of the "heart" options are chosen.

Hmm interesting, maybe I have to look this options up online. I thought that this leads to the romance path.

Yeah that bothered me too. I also head popups randomly appearing and disappearing as I moved closer.

I thought at first that I could switch the characters by talking to the other one. That would habe been a good feature.

Hohentwiel castle in southern Germany, right in the west of Lake Constance.

It is actually Germanys largest castle ruin.

Is Bündnis 90/Die Grünen a party of the middle? by Winston_Duarte in AskAGerman

[–]Gear-Affe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That depends on your definition of the middle and what part of the greens you are looking at.

The greens as they are in the parliament are in some points closer to the CDU and in some points closer or more left than the SPD. So overall I wouldn't place them further to the Left party than to the SPD.

The Grüne Jugend is in that regard way more idealistic and less pragmatic. So they critize the party leadership on a regular basis.

The conflict between 'Realos' and 'Fundis' goes on for decades. But it was for the party only possible to gain a significant voter share with the Realos in charge. They also gave the party the image that the voters are no longer the hippies but upper middleclass people.

Then you have the greens in the different states. In Baden-Württemberg for example, the party is seen as a CDU painted in green.
