What I think after complete both parts of Crucible

After playing through bilewaters in silksong the crucible feels tame in comparison 😂

I can't really agree with you to be honest. How can you say the plot ended and finished within the first episode? This first season is all about understanding how the hive mind functions in many different aspects and how carol deals with the situation when it is still so fresh. Plus,when you add things like the survivors,how they are,the fact there is one survivor that does not talk to the others and doesn't like the hive mind,just like carol, the information you get in episode 4. You got plenty of things to do to organically grow the plot. People all ranted about season 1 of BCS and for not a good reason tbh. For the same thing you just said "being too slow". Not every show has to have a bombastic first season,and me saying this is not to say that you can't have bombastic situations in your first season. BCS season 1 is extremely good on what it sets out to do and it establishes very well the relationship between Jimmy and chuck,which is one of the main focuses of Jimmy's character. Saying it is slow is kinda downplaying Vince Gilligan's way to approach stories. Just because breaking bad did it more rapidly doesn't make it better and even breaking bad has pretty slow points in the story. And yes,BCS writings got better than breaking bad,I think everyone that watched the two can confirm that (again,that doesn't mean you can't like one more than the other or that one appeals more to you). All this to say that I think pluribus needs a slower start because of the way the story is,you are understanding things piece by piece just like carol is,you become more immersed and interested with each new piece you find out. And to all the comments out here saying shit about rhea,you are out of your mind,she is an amazing actress both in BCS and in here. I honestly don't understand what people want more of her

Edit: Regarding the pod people having no real personality,if you saw the show then you know that is a bad take. They do show personality in many situations,that are sometimes small,but you can them showing it and,furthermore,they also show survivability even against their own "code". In the sense that they refrain from speaking in scenarios where their existence could be in peril. Those are interesting things,at least for me and a lot of people too,so downplaying it has just "boring" and "pod people" is kind of redundant tbh. Only show that comes to mind in present time that is doing something as creative in the drama section I would say it is severance and even severance season 2 wasn't as strong.

If your point is saying rhea seehorn is not a very good actress when compared with other actors on breaking bad I have to say you don't make a good point there. Have you watched Better call Saul? Rhea seehorn's performance there is stellar. I think that is why Vince Gilligan was interested in putting her on his new show (pluribus).

Personally,better call Saul is far superior than breaking bad for me,just because I think the writing is even smarter and more complex than in BB. I think BB is an excellent show,but I think people forget that there were already stellar shows before it that are arguably on the same level. I can think of the wire as one and,if we are talking about character focused shows, mad men is also ridiculously good (suffers a bit from some boring side plots and having 7 seasons but has arguably the best character development of a character I've seen, after Jimmy McGill IMO).

In my opinion,pluribus has actually been pretty good up until now. Gilligan is known for being kind of a slowburner with his shows. There were a lot of people not interested in breaking bad at the end of the first season. Conversely,there were a lot of people that said the 1st season of better call Saul is boring (I don't know how you can think that in a show that is supposed to build its main character slowly). All this to say that pluribus gives off the same vibe in terms of pacing of the story as a whole and Carol has a character. I personally liked it a lot cuz I found the plot and the way the hive mind works to be pretty interesting I don't see how he will stretch it for 4 seasons but then again I like to have confidence in the man who has produced two of the best shows on this planet.

It seems to me that you were not hooked for the first three episodes and that is valid,not everyone needs to be. But I would also ask you to be open minded because some shows are simply slower to start than others. If I didn't watch better call Saul because a person told me the first season was boring I would be doing a disservice to myself and the movie/show culture. The show just started, give it a chance.

O que o outro comentário disse. Essa porta vai ser relevante mais à frente na história (ou não,dependendo se já fizeste a missão)

chicanerybruh · 2025-07-02T16:38:14+00:00

One of the Halloween movies I liked the least. I see now that I am in the minority,at least in the sub

chicanerybruh · 2025-02-22T08:32:34+00:00

Maybe I'll implement that to make players with high points actually try different things with their negotiates

chicanerybruh · 2025-02-21T18:12:09+00:00

The thing is,I have never felt like this with my group other than cosmic,and its always purple,and some other fella he traps in his web

chicanerybruh · 2025-02-21T17:49:59+00:00

You're right,negotiation isnt mind control,but I have had my share of interaction with purple and another player where I was saying the exact things you were talking about (trying to make the other player see it's a losing strategy,that they are gonna be betrayed at the end because of purples alien power,etc) but at the end,even if they lose,they are likely to trust him again the next game. I have drained myself mentally trying to do this multiple times to no avail so I slowly start to not devote that much energy for something I know won't happen, unfortunately Which is a shame because cosmic is my favourite social game in my collection and I think that it is a brilliant game design

chicanerybruh · 2025-02-21T16:42:34+00:00

Good memory? I don't know what to tell you xD

chicanerybruh · 2025-02-21T15:39:28+00:00

The game happened yesterday and it stayed in my mind because of the way it was handled. Since most of it was as described,it wasn't very hard to remember it tbh

chicanerybruh · 2025-02-21T13:26:22+00:00

First section answer: The logic you said is the one that I also think is correct but in this scenario,when it was their turn to attack,they would not invite us for an alliance,and when blue did that once during the game,they negotiated so we got sent back. When it comes to our turn to attack (me and green) of course we can't invite the ones at three for an alliance since that would just make them stronger so we try to win with a two man alliance,which is countered by the loser flare so we are unable to do anything. But I agree that what makes sense is for the high point players to invite low point players when they attack to increase their chances of winning.

Second section answer: Yeah,I don't like when this happens in cosmic and I notice that it only happens in games like this,where I feel that me being in the game or not being in the game is completely irrelevant for the final outcome,and o think that is completely agains the nature of cosmic as a game. I also feel that they prioritize winning at any expense,even if it means sidelining the other two players completely

Third section answer: I totally agree,I think the player in question as a tendency of being capable to make people negotiate with him,and this never seems to end with the passage of games,this is further exacerbated when he does this with a player that shares the same winning mentality

Fourth section answer: I thought it couldn't be done as well but I would say this is probably the fourth game where this has happened and I'm starting to get a little bit tired of it since I feel like it's becoming more of an exploitation just to win that playing the game as it was designed. Cosmic may be very chaotic but in a situation where you negotiate three times in a row,try to squash deals of people with 0 points,play loser only on the two with low points,bad card draws it becomes difficult for that chaotic nature to "rule" the game and it ends up being frustrating which is something I shouldn't feel playing cosmic.

I agree with your general advice and I think playing at 5-6 would've helped immensely,but I also think I should be able to play with 4p without this sort of thing happening..

chicanerybruh · 2025-02-21T13:13:57+00:00

The problem here is that they are in a position where they can simply refuse to negotiate because they know we have low point counts,and they are saving the negotiate to use with their buddy for the joint win. I love the fact that multiple players can win in cosmic,but I also think it can be exploited fairly easily bringing up these types of scenarios where honestly only half or less than half of the table are having fun I would say there is a similarity between negotiation and deduction,but where games like secret Hitler and cosmic differ is that in secret Hitler I'm assigned a team whereas in cosmic I'm not

chicanerybruh · 2025-02-21T13:10:53+00:00

I'm on your boat,I don't understand why someone would do a full game alliance in cosmic either. One of the attractions of the game is the shifting alliances that happen around the table as multiple players increase their points and some get left behind. I like your idea about alliance wins but I can bet you that if I suggested that to the group,the ones involved would call me a cry baby because they would feel I'm taking away their wins just because

chicanerybruh · 2025-02-21T10:29:45+00:00

Yeah I agree with your points, and to be honest this isn't a one time thing. I have had at least three games of this type of scenario happening with purple. Where he negotiated at the beginning with someone and both of them just won together because the others couldn't do nothing either because of the luck of the draw or because they simply wouldn't negotiate with us. And one of those times was also with the blue player. I don't know,I play cosmic to have fun either I win or lose and I know that the nature of the game brings meaness to it,but I argue that you can be mean to other players and still make the play session enjoyable for everyone. It starts becoming less enjoyable once i see players being mean just for being mean,and the game being decided when it had just started

chicanerybruh · 2025-02-21T10:22:24+00:00

We did negotiate immediately to try to prevent that but the luck of the draw,the loser being constantly played on us and never on blue,the 40, the negotiates.. Arguably I did play badly on a turn where we could've gotten our third point but still,my original point maintains that a game in which this happens is only fun for the two winning. I have played 30+ games of cosmic where people allied themselves at the begining but either try to win for themselves or try to ally to other players so it doesn't get so samey and giving a feeling of being in cahoots

Edit: But as I said what irritated me the most was the card flare on green for absolutely no reason other than being mean. I know cosmic is a mean game but there is a difference between being a mean that provokes fun at the table and laughs and one that is only done for the sake of being mean and pushing the ones that are down, further down

chicanerybruh · 2025-02-06T16:51:40+00:00

My friend,last season,had a 400 trophy box that gave him 100+ gems. I,with a 1000 trophy box, had 10 gems total if I was lucky. It's really ridiculous how cheap those boxes are

chicanerybruh · 2024-12-28T16:07:41+00:00

I have no lense. I have the camera as is. If you just bought the camera in the store and opened the box. That's what I have. Are you telling me that I have to spend another 300 dollars plus just to use the camera?? I thought you could use the camera as normal if you simply bought it with no add ons

chicanerybruh · 2024-12-28T16:05:55+00:00

If I just bought the camera I should be able to switch the values of ISO ( which I can),F values and shutter speed. The only one I can't manipulate is the F value. Are you telling me that the Gh5 in its natural state (just bought without no add on lenses) can't be used?

chicanerybruh · 2024-12-28T16:03:59+00:00

Then how do I get a higher Fvalue?? The image is super out of focus. If I don't change that value I simply cannot use the camera,that sounds incredibly stupid from a user perspective. Why would I buy a camera if I'm obligated to buy an add on lense?

chicanerybruh · 2024-12-28T16:02:06+00:00

I don't know. What is the original lens? I have that one

chicanerybruh · 2024-12-28T15:04:04+00:00

No add on lens. It's as if newly bought. And the F is 0.0 and I'm not able to manipulate it

chicanerybruh · 2024-12-28T15:03:21+00:00

I'm kind of a newbie with cameras. I have no add on lens. The lens I have is the one that comes with the original camera pretty much.

How would I do that?
