I remember the early days of Assassin's Creed, when it was more inspired and original, and brave enough to (correctly) call John Roberts a Templar because of Citizens United

Brutus, Cassius, I apologize for any of my justified criticisms in the past. We need you back, for Ceasar has not only accepted the crown, but put it on himself! Just didn't expect Marcus Antonius to be South African...

Not a lot of info on this in English, but what is there says that this was basically the Portuguese sailing up in a surprise raid rather than a proper naval battle. Outside of context, however, its very, very funny

Turns out in the days of Classic Greece, they had a huge tourist trap of "Troy" complete with supposed tombs of Achilles and Ajax. How do we know it was a tourist trap? Well apart from accounts of them selling cheap trinkets, it's just... not at Troy

People talk bad about Stormblood, but the moment they said "Liberty or Death" I felt the immortal revolutionary spirit fill my body and all the samey bleakness of Ala Mhigo was forgiven Also luv the Steppe, and Lyse pretty

Another Jurassic Park movie announced... At this point, every additional sequel after a series starts going downhill should see the person responsible subject to Athenian ostracization It means they can only continue their terrible sequel syndrome after 10 years minimum

i said this a few days ago but it bears repeating: trans stories are human stories. our themes resonate with everyone, because everyone Becomes something new over the course of their life. we are not just on the fringes of humanity but a core part of it

My idea of Athenian-Theban yuri is bolstered as I progress through the timeline. Not only did I forget that they harbored each others democratic refugees after Sparta forced oligarchy on each of them, but Thebes helped rebuild the walls of Athens after the Peloponnesian War

My decision not to use spotify has been vindicated Did I do it out of a degree of laziness and complacency with how I already consumed music? Yes But I will take credit for foreseeing their political turn anyway

So as just one little piece of the issues I have with the popitics of the Dawntrail master role quests, I learn that Tulliyolal has vagrancy laws... And I'm supposed to be "friends" with the rulers of this country? Whoever at SE wrote these quests, you're an evil little bastard

The reason we view the Patriots of the Revolutionary War as god-like heroes and the Puritans of the English Civil Wars as vicious religious extremists is just nationalistic mythology. The ideological, political, and economic aims of these rebellions were essentially indistinguishable.

I want a bit of a toxic yuri thing between Athens and Thebes where the toxic part is their early relationship and then they're on again/off again after the Peloponnesian War until they become a freedom or death power couple on the way to Chaeronea.

Romans be like: "Hi my name is Flavius Valerius Constantius, son of Flavius Valerius Constantius. These are my sons, Flavius Julius Constantius and Flavius Claudius Constantius."

There's something very poignant about the most important moments of A Christmal Carol being interrupted by copious ads Marley's chains are nothing compared to those made possible by modern commercial capital

The general conception of the Sicilian expedition kinda irks me because Nicias is to blame for basically all of the disaster. People rightfully blame Alcibiades for creating the dumb idea, but it would have been a success, or at least not a disaster, if not for numerous decisions of Nicias.
