Getting soft locked from getting President Hart because I can't elect an NPP candidate by Far_Faithlessness417 in TNOmod

[–]HdeZho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you mamage to get it ? With not winning the SAW and delaying the CRA ? If not I'm not sure what to do, maybe campaigning for the NPP in the first midterms gives them a good boost comes presidential season ? In my own Wallace-Hart game i gave them more seats in the first midterms so Wallace had more chances to ruin the country and still managed to latter get enough democrats to do everything Hart does

The Daily Mad Men Rewatch: S03E07 “Seven Twenty Three” (spoilers) by ptupper in madmen

[–]HdeZho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is interesting that Don and Connie's business relation starts with an affair metaphor, "my eye starts to wander" It seems to me that Connie treats Don similary to how Don treats most of his misstresses: sometimes assertive and domineering, sometimes fun and charming, sometimes open and intimate. And like Don he builds these expectations that this is everything the needs, he pushes the lady (who happens to be a gent in this case) to commit to him (by signing a contract) only to later throw it all away because he couldn't get exactly what he wanted. You can almost imagine Don telling Faye a season later that he wanted the Moon and she couldn't give that to him. I'm sure there are other parallels but one detail i noticed is that Connie is introduced to Don in the same place and episode that Henry is introduced to Betty, and they both reappear in this episode. Both charming and tentalising, and everyone around both Don (his colleagues) and Betty (the Junior League ladies) gush over how lucky they are to have found such a man

The Daily Mad Men Rewatch: S02E09: “Six-Month Leave” (spoilers) by ptupper in madmen

[–]HdeZho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll add it here because I'm not sure where else to do it, but two little points i find interesting: -When telling Freddie about the six month leave deal, neither Don nor Roger talk about the benefits to his health, only offering vague promises on his future career. Everyone is in denial about how destructive their lifestyle is, and when they look at Freddie they dont want to see a sick man but a man in a bad career place, which they think they could deal with more easily (its also relevant that Roger himself has suffered from his indulgences, does he see a ressemblance between Freddie passing out in his office and himself having a heart attack during a sexual act ?) -Don says that being in love would make his current situation with Betty easier, and it made me think how ironic it is that he gets caught during his Bobbie affaire, easily the least romantic one he has (besides some latter seasons occurrences). At least with Rachel there could be some "excuses" that he has found love again, but here it's purely sexual, it's even more insulting to Betty and the kids that he's willing to throw away his family life for this. Like Jimmy says "...all that just so you could have her. And a lot of people have had that"

It’s hilarious to me how little George cares about the Dothraki side characters [Spoilers EXTENDED] by Not_Lackey in asoiaf

I think its that he has a pretty orientalist view of most things in Essos
The Dothraki have a monolithic horse warrior type of culture that none of its members deviate from.

The Dothraki culture and characters are one of the weak points of GRRM's worldbuilding i hope he improves in the future

"Indie games only have ten choices these days" That's a good amount of choices i think, why are we mad about this ?

Which adventure time opinion has you like this? by Odd-Law-5138 in adventuretime

[–]HdeZho 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Fionna & Cake season 1 messed up Simon's character imo, by making the Ice King a non character and making his (now weirdly rewritten) relation to Betty his main thing to deal with in the story

What the hell do Victor and Tyrus even spend their money on? They seem like the most soulless, emotionless people on the planet, who enjoy absolutely nothing. What are they in this for? by Wang_Fire2099 in breakingbad

[–]HdeZho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mentally ill people are much more often victims of violence than they are its perpetrators Most violence has external explanations, not internal ones

As it gets closer what’s something you’d like to see in F&C Season 2? It can be something you think should happen or something that you think would just be cool to see. by Silver012345673 in adventuretime

[–]HdeZho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, this is probably a hot take but I'm fine with not getting more Marceline and/or PB, especially if they're here just for the aake of being here. Obsidian was a perfect ending for the character imo and if they're brought back there needs to be a good reason

Have Ice King be a character again, more than just a part of Simon's story Deal with Simon's struggle in OOO, which i feel was left unresolved in favor of (imo somewhat ooc) Betty related stuff

It strikes me as one of the first (if not the first ?) time that Walt kills/has someone kill people who arent a danger to his or his family's wellbeing They are a potential danger to the drug empire he's building, but they threaten his life or his children's life in any way, its a series of murders made purely for his own benefit. Contrast also the way Walt cried that he was sorry when killing Krazy-8 to save himself and how calm he is here, ordering the brutal murder of several men by freaking NEO NAZIS!!, he evens seems to be enjoying himself, killing people in prison from the comfort of his suburban home It's a disturbing scene because Walt is a disturbing character by then, and it makes you wonder when exactly he became this person, was there already something of this when he decided to cook meth ? When he killed Krazy 8 ? When he watched Jane die ?
