Santos is too rage inducing

I never liked Santos but season 2, episode 12, I don't want to see her, anymore, specifically, how she just got done shitting all over Langdon with the most ridiculous self centered speech of all time, and THEN has the infuriating gall to paint herself as the victim when talking to Whitaker! That was gross. That was really gross.

She said she didn't even care about the legal aspect, and he apologized, profusely, for being an asshole, and *thats the only part she cares about, the asshole part, the part that he's genuinely sorry for*

I hate that aspect of her, it's way too much, there's a complex, interesting character underneath all of that, but the rage inducing bit is so strong, it overwhelms

in the pilot episode Walt isn't wearing pants, why not?

The rest of the show he wears pants, except when he goes totally nude at the supermarket, I know that *later on* he explains that he doesn't want to smell like a meth lab, but they haven't gotten to that point in the show yet

Also why doesn't Jesse remove his pants too

So, while Walt started the whole thing because he wouldn't take Elliot's job,

Ultimately, despite all the insane, illegal, immoral, unethical actions, and then, straight up murders both of them do, it all ends up actually working out, somehow, with working for Gus, right up until Jesse decides that Combo getting murdered by a kid is unforgivable, which is very understandable, its just how stupidly he responds to it

It's right at that moment that it all starts going to shit, is Jesse properly motivated? Absolutely, that's not the issue, the issue is that at that moment, Jesse becomes way too stupid for someone as smart as Walter White to work with him, Jesse sees the two guys that ordered the kid that whacked, in the distance, and he sees that they also see him, and also sees them pull their guns out

So he draws his gun, letting them see it, and walks right up to them, while they pull out their guns, too, even if he got one of them, the other guy would just shoot him in the head, game over, there's literally no win scenario

Thing is, Jesse has been cooking for awhile, he knows criminals use kids because of how the legal system works with them, there's no reason for him to suddenly become so stupid he would approach two armed drug dealers in the middle of the night with a gun in his hand, regardless of how motivated he is, he would know that is suicide, no amount of meth would confuse him enough into thinking he could kill two dudes with a gun before they kill him first

So, yeah, while Walt's pride and ego was absolutely the genesis of the whole fucked up opera of bad things, they barely managed to stay alive and landed a sweet job at Fring's, and it was going to work, until Jesse became Critically Dumb

What happened to Nippy?

Saul said he found Nippy, but you never actually see Nippy on screen, do you think someone "in the game" found his dog and kidnapped it to hold it ransom?

What is the deal with Skyler?

I've watched a lot of TV, I don't have a job and I'm 40 years old, in that time, I haven't viewed characters that anger me as much as Skyler, and, lets be perfectly, crystal clear

She has every reason to do the things she does, her husband is a meth cook, every action she takes is absolutely justified, but the thing I can't grasp is, why does she come off as so unlikable? I'm not the only one who feels this way, and I've seen Anna Gunn in other things like Deadwood, I didn't get the same feeling of dislike there, so it feels like, for some reason, on Breaking Bad, she was being coached to be as unlikable as possible

Why?

About Wendy the sex worker that hangs out with Jesse

Jesse is an attractive, young guy with a ton of money, and Wendy is just about the most unattractive sex worker you could find, she's loyal, she's smart, and obviously that's more important, I'm just curious why, uh, out of all of the sex workers, Jesse chooses the least attractive one he could find? Wendy is less attractive than any of the normal women in that show

Overall which civ knocks down buildings the fastest?

Mongols got Drill, Huns got Tarkans, the Wei/Shu/Wu got the traction trebs, Japanese got kataparuto, or maybe an infantry civ whacks buildings the hardest? They typically get bonus damage against buildings, after all

What's the beef with Wu, Wei, and Shu? I haven't been keeping up

is it because they are, uh, third century, and aoe 2 is mostly set in medieval times? Are they OP? Hera has a tierlist he made recently, I think? Anyways on that list, Chinese, Wei, Vietnamese, kmer is at the very top, with Persians, Portuguese, Maya, khitans, Malay, Tupi, and Mongols in the second tier, Wu and Shu show up in the third tier, alongside such civs such as byzantines, tatars, and hindustanis, and I don't think anyone is saying they are overpowered?

So, whats the issue? I'm just curious for an answer, they seem cool to me, and since i suck so bad at this game, I lose with those civs against the AI sometimes, same as I lose with any civ against the AI sometimes, so if they are actually OP, I can't tell, so I apologize if people are getting pissed at my ignorance, I'm trying to learn!

try playing Moderate with a 10 percent handicap to the computer, they go from ultra derp, "I got to imperial age first, and thirty minutes later I haven't attacked yet" to be a lot snappier and more aggressive, but not the level of Hard where you get knight rushed in Feudal Age, and the AI isn't even a cav civ
