  1. Well, try pulling Cleopatra in Fate Grand Order with THEIR rates, and suddenly, Ubisoft aren't even AS greedy... >_>

  3. If you read on the time, pirates were LESS messy than actual government armies, like English navy treated sailors WAY worse than most pirate captains did and slavery was rampant, it's really hard to pretend pirates were the bad guys in most cases. Closer to antiheroes than the villainous empires of the era.

  4.  @humanitysucks4025  you understand that your views predate Napoleonic wars and USA Independence? Like literally nobody outside of Mussolini and his fan group known as the Axis held these views in 20th century, and you're kinda in the next millennium at this point.

  5. To the end of WW2? What about Munich Olympics, Gaza, and endless UN resolutions against Israel – there was no break. Founding of Jewish state of Israel had tons of coalitions against them and is still not recognized by most Muslim countries, and both left and right in the west only ever uniting for one cause, hating Jews.

  7. Why people single out British museum? Most famous artifacts from Egypt like Nefertiti bust are in Berlin museum, and a bunch were even stolen by you know who and put into Hermitage in scat рutіnsburg.

  8. He killed slavers. That's objectively a good deed. Goddamn Fallout gives you karma bonus for that. And even most villains like highway robbers and murderers draw the line on slave trade. It's just something that's too evil to accept.

  9. Keanu Reeves has a role in the second season of the most popular ancient Aryans themed show. Watch Milo Rossi's debunking of Ancient Apocalypse seasons 1, it's GLORIOUS!

  10.  @benjirabbe1205  vaccines are NOT a live virus, most of them don't even have viral component just antibodies, and ones that do have weakened virus WITH antibodies on top, so it's like putting you in front of a jobber who was drugged and beaten up before the match.

  11. Cleopatra was one of the most expensive Hollywood movies when it was made. Octavian isn't even an anime episode, so she's WAY more famous after death.

  13. One of the ways to defeat it was saying a limerick "hut on chicken legs, stay before me like leaf in front of grass", it makes just as little sense in context. Also, "turn to me with your front and to the forest backwards" and hero usually confused the two directions since russian heroes are always stupid. (Not exaggeration, Ivan Durak - the fool - is their go-to main character).

  15.  @Madhattersinjeans  "When your main exports is pillaging and trade people tend to forget about the trade..." not when the trade includes said pillaged goods and captured SLAVES. So even traders were in that. Kinda like when you're with the mob but not an enforcer just someone who launders the currency. The word "slave" comes from Slavs because vikings traded THEM so much.

  16.  @rtdip2833  the pandemics at 20s are a myth, Cholera pandemic was in 1960, and nothing links specific plagues to 20s before that. Spanish Ffu and COVID-19 being 101 years apart? Yeah, that's a coincidence... the rest? Not even close to a round date.

  17. This time they should ask Americans to help with supplies when they disembark in Crimea and Baltics to raze moscow.

  20. WAIT A MINUTE, I always thought it's a really strange coincidence THE most popular stock horror characters were all created in some random evening, but it being a year of existential dread for everyone makes more sense for a background of both vampire stories and Frankenstein's monster.

  23. This, and I wish they do an overview about that competition in Geneva that gave us both vampires AND Frankenstein. Imagine, a party at Lord Byron's cottage failing due to bad weather, leading to most famous romantic poets (Percy Shelley got so scared he jumped out of the room) and their gfs Mary and Claire, telling each other scary stories while doctor Polidori remembered enough to write a novel later. Literally most important parts of horror pop culture were created due to weather shenanigans making a bunch of bored, creative people try to scare each other. Original vampire stories were picked up by Byron from the Levant, and he kinda hated when they become popular, lol.

  24. Dude stop being salty, everybody knows Cleopatra, and her opponent doesn't even scratch the top 5 of most famous Roman Emperors.))) Obsidian was he? OR Oblivion, I keep forgetting... And it's funny to see boys pathetically screaming at women like her being more famous despite all your tantrums. ;)

  25. How can you talk about world war without politics? That's like talking about football without mentioning balls.

  26. It's called the Dutch disease; named after Netherlands discovering a huge gas field and focusing its exports on fossil fuel, to detriment of other sectors – which backfired when fossil fuel prices collapsed, but as you know, oil & gas consumption now is so high it totally won't crash 300 percent in one day and go into negative price... >_> YEAH... now russia, which has somewhere around 80% of their exports in oil and gas, has to literally burn fuel for nothing with giant torches as they're too poor to pay other countries to keep their low quality mix – and since they literally lived off fuel exports alone, they don't even have enough tech to develop equipment that temporarily stop the production to resume it later. Imagine having your economy completely dependent on two resources and take faith in their prices staying high so much, you don't even invest in equipment to develop them, things like tankers to hold extraneous oil, or ships that can build pipelines – russians don't have those. They literally just dug a hole in the ground in Cold War era and lived off that.

  34. In USSR and post-Soviet history, children are taught Napoleon "lost" Borodino... you know, the battle that routed russian army all the way to leningrad, and russian colonizers lost moscow without a fight soon after. IN WHAT UNIVERSE IS RETREATING SO FAR YOU LOSE YOUR BIGGEST CITY A VICTORY?!

  37. Yeah, comparing to current NATO shaking in fear and not even shooting down russian missiles flying into Poland or over Romania. Ukraine is the only country with balls.

  39. Baba is not diminutive, it's derogatory. Baba - hag, bitch, wench. It refers to all women regardless of age. Granny would be babusia in Ukrainian or babushka in russian, both these words actually have a dimunituve suffix. (Baba is just a root, words without suffixes are not dimunitive in Slavspeak). For example, Yagashechka would be dimunitive for Yaga. Or Rinusik for Rina.

  40. Everyone called them tsar though. And empress, tsarina, children, tsarevich and tsarevna etc... My grandma talking of her ancestors said they lived "pri tsare", "during tsar", I literally didn't hear the word emperor used for then-dictators of mordor before I seen Western sources. Everybody in ex-USSR always just said "tsar." And no, tsar isn't same level of kaiser/ceasar despite being a translation of one. It's exactly how king is sometimes translated into russian. Polish king = Polski tsar. Specifically, official title of russian emperor ALSO listed him as tsar/king of several countries, so tsar IS a junior title to emperor and indeed, Nicholas WAS a tsar, that title was listed multiple times, in fact. Wiki copy-paste: "Императоръ и Самодержецъ Всероссійскій, Московскій, Кіевскій, Владимірскій, Новгородскій; Царь Казанскій, Царь Астраханскій, Царь Польскій, Царь Сибирскій, Царь Херсониса Таврическаго, Царь Грузинскій; Государь Псковскій и Великій Князь..." "Emperor and Autocrat of all russia, muscovy, Kyiv, Volodymyr, Novgorod, TSAR of Kazan, TSAR of Astrakhan, TSAR of Poland, TSAR of Sibera, TSAR of Chersonesos of Tavria, TSAR of Georgia, Sovereign of Pskov and Great Prince of..." Then go the lesser, regional titles. Just elaborating that emperor held titles of being a tsar of several tsardoms. Etymologically, tsar is close to kaiser but russia tried to westernize yeah, so they used emperor/imperator as higher title in official documents instead and tsar for lesser ones, think how Wang in China is King/Prince, but Di is Emperor.

  42. It's very similar in Ukraine, Chekhov said "there isn't an item that won't fit for a Jewish surname". They don't follow general name etymologies. Many are a proper noun, Kravitz, like Lenny? Ukrainian for "tailor". Shvets, Portnoy - same meaning. Rybak - "fisher". Reznik - "cutter". Syrota - "orphan". Etc.

  43.  @Cythil  Civ is really great at making people interested in stuff, unfortunately it also spread some myths, for example the stirrup theory about Middle Ages, or having writing and the wheel as very important techs prerequisite for so much stuff when you would see much more complex maths in Mesoamerica which notably didn't have wheeled transport due to nature of their roads. But Civilization made it look like the Mediterranean way of advancement is the only/main one. I just keep noticing how many misinfo in my head was reinforced by pop culture, not because they were evil but because they either didn't do the research, or the data they used was outdated (i.e. most dinosaurs in games). Total War has really positive impact with how they showed armies, people criticize them for inaccuracy too much. KOEI games too... I'm glad people get interested in stuff due to games or films or TV.

  44.  @magnadramon0068  guys in the mountains pretty clearly are mythologized outlaws or rebels though... the legend doesn't make sense with being inspired by weather or animals, as it's about hospitality and looking like humans, even if we remove all possible connotations of xenophobia, it's still a story about paranoia and not trusting fellow humans who might look ordinary but be a demon all along... Ever seen the Thing? That kind of existential horror. Anyone can be "it", or an Oni in this case.

  48.  @GT-ii7ci  the peaceful Greece that was totally not colonizing three continents, with their cities spread from Cyrena in Libya to Chersonesus in Ukraine... For some reason we kip digging out Ancient Greek colonies everywhere in Eastern Europe and Northern Africa, maybe because Hellenes were those peaceful democratic isolationists who kept to the Balkans amirite?)))
