Also Philosophy Tube plays a pirate who has been changed to a trans man with a cuckold fetish and gets way too much screentime. It was very confusing.

Also she didn't like the idea of playing a pirate that does horrible things and comes from a society where slavery is the norm...being a bad person. She had the writers make it clear that all those wives are fully consenting when their pirate lord husband pimps them out. Can't have a bad guy be a bad guy.

Edit: oh! And when she's introduced, a character literally asks her if she's a philosopher. Like real on the nose.

The showrunners aren't following the book very closely at all. They're just kinda adding their own plotlines, character relationships, characterization, etc, and using "well the book is an unreliable history" as an excuse as if the book didn't give three competing narratives and enough information for a reader to figure out what's probably true and what's definitely not. They've taken it from "here's an unreliable history, puzzle it out" to "this history is unreliable, so let's just write whatever we want."

Also in the final episode

Haven't watched the show but the book was pretty good and the show ruined some of the most impactful scenes.

Half the pranks being "Oh shit that's OJ Simpson! Didn't he kill someone?"

Robert Fedvans hasn't seen a contemporary american coup that he didn't like. He has defended the destruction of Libya, Euromaidan, the Bolivia coup, is against every counter-imperialist force out there... He's a lib, and a real shitty one.

If a story about a figure is funny, they will include it as fact even if there is no evidence for the claim. Like how Stalin definitely routinely used tomatoes as whoopie cushions.

Which just kinda shows that they will believe every little bit of propaganda that comes their way.

Sick, I finally get high speed rail.

So this Kursk thing is still happening huh

I always find out about this shit the morning after. I wanna see a aurora.

Spec Ops: The Line was pretty good but the white phosphorous scene felt a little forced to me. Like, you have to use the war crimes weapon on a group that as a player you're thinking "nah I could probably sneak/shoot through that" and the game doesn't let you make the choice of not massacring civilians. For most of the game when you do something awful, you the player are doing it because you have John SpecOps's warped perspective, but then the game gives a big "do an obvious war crime" button and forces you to push it to proceed.

They gave the concept a good try though.

Really caught with their pants down. It's embarrassing.

Wow botany can be fucking metal sometimes.

they fixed that bug where you could flood a world by placing a water block at the skybox, but nah not much else.
