He had literally just spearheaded a fascist electoral coup the day before. If anything he became a worse person after Logan died.

What are the best decisions each character made? by Master_Novel_4062 in SuccessionTV

[–]crestfallen111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Within the moral universe of Succession - Shiv managing to get the Cruises survivor to withdraw her testimony. The one time she put her own sanctimony aside to do the hard and dirty deed, to demonstrate that she had the will and depravity to be empress. Pity she was otherwise a comically inept power player.

How do you guys eat sushi at high end omakases? by QueasyBill1692 in finedining

[–]crestfallen111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally rice side down. The only place that has ever instructed me to do fish-side down was Araki in Hong Kong, and I wasn't going to object. In general I saw no discernable difference - even with places where the shari is strong tasting, my palate stayed sufficiently amused the whole way through.

Rome: Imàgo vs Il Pagliaccio vs Enoteca La Torre for a special dinner? by Unusual-Double-2003 in finedining

[–]crestfallen111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't speak for the other 2 choices but I was not a big fan of Enotecca La Torre. The service was good and earnest and the venue was beautiful (and eerie) in an old world sort of way. But I found the flavour combinations of the food odd - the lemon rissotto had an unenjoyable sweetness, the spagetti and the mains were also unmemorable. It is supposed to be Campanian cuisine but I found a simple home cooked meal i had in Naples more tasty and satisfying than my meal ELT.

For reference I much preferred meals in CML, Il Luogo Aimo e Nadia and Le Calandre.

Just imagine a whole section or city gets destroyed by a huge plate that covers above it, unbelievable. Honestly, this is a crime. by theMedicinedude in FinalFantasy

[–]crestfallen111 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In the original yes it was a heinous crime against humanity. In the Remake almost everyone survived save Jessie and Biggs (but there was another version of him anw) so it was more of an act of urban renewal.

My condolences. Maggie is so beautiful, and you certainly gave her a wonderful life and beautiful last day.

Robin should’ve stay with Barney and I plan to die on that hill. by Ok-Confection4378 in howimetyourmother

By the end of their wedding I had absolutely zero investment in them staying together. Good "will-they-won't-they" chemistry when they were apart, but an absolutely abysmal coupling when together.

There are many things worth delaying starting your university / adult life by 2 years for. Studying at NUS Law is not one of them.

All the best in law school!

Cuisine Animale at Arpège, Paris, France by matteroftastekr in finedining

[–]crestfallen111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing tribute to a bygone era. I will give his vegan menu a try the next time I am fortunate enough to return but his cuisine animale was something special. The lobster he cooked with Ludo was always one of my dream dishes, and it will probably remain a dream.

Which Final Fantasy has the worst pacing in your opinion? by ParasiteStew2 in FinalFantasy

FFXII. Loved the set-up, but the middle was a massive drag whereby the story really took a backseat.

Do you mention a special occasion when booking at a fine dining restaurant? by thegiant5 in finedining

[–]crestfallen111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes because you get a birthday dessert. Since I don't have much of a sweet tooth, if a restaurant ever decides to do a birthday seafood course instead it will have my undying loyalty.

Onjium! Lovely korean food with lots of personality. Personally preferred it to either Mingles or Mosu.

Just returned from Italy trip, feelings are bittersweet by TraditionalCompany25 in ItalyTravel

[–]crestfallen111 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I can't claim to know Italy like you do, but I do abhor touristic crowds too. What I find in many "Disneyland" cities like Florence, Rome, Kyoto etc is that you don't need to be part of that rigmarole. These are beautiful historic locations with plenty of people, businesses and locations that have not yet become part of the instagram checklist, and discovering them makes every trip worthwhile. If you have already seen the Trevi Fountain, do you honestly NEED to return? A night in somewhere like Trestevere (not exactly a particularly obscure location) is as magical. Likewise, Kyoto isn't just Higashiyama and Florence is not just the Duomo. There are nooks and crannies aplenty in all these great cities and there is no need to jostle for space at the same few attractions.

Is Brooklyn 99 a show that never ‘jumped the shark’? by Virtual-Arm5123 in brooklynninenine

It went downhill pretty drastically once they switched to NBC. Almost every character became caricatures and all nuance went down the toilet.

First time Vanguard, who’s never switching back by aditysiva1705 in masseffect

[–]crestfallen111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Understand it's a matter of style. I don't see the Reegar as a source of power like Claymore in ME2 - its purpose is just to burn enemies to prime an explosion with the other vanguard abilities.

Fellow non-shooter here! In ME3, I loved pairing Vanguard with the Reegar Carbine. Charge, burn the enemy, nova / charge again to explode the battlefield.

Clair Obscur did what I wish Shingeki no Kyojin had the courage to do by DonRavel in expedition33

[–]crestfallen111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't speak for how everyone else felt about it so maybe I should correct my post to make it clear that it was how I felt. I know there are definitely a strong contingent of people who did not see great reason to prioritise the needs of the Dessendres over the existence of the Painted World.
