"I'm a relatively enthusiastic defender of the Fallout series in part just because I think that casting actors associated with David Lynch was such a smart move. Blue Velvet and Twin Peaks either inspired or predicted a huge part of the appeal of the Fallout Universe; the interruption of a comfortable mid century adolescence and childhood by the chaos of the mid/late 60s which was less an interruption than a revelation of the rot beneath the surface. Kyle MacLachlan finds an ear the Vault Dweller goes out to find a water chip. This became a pretty common trope in 90s media partially as a"

"Troy was real there were major conflicts between Mycenaean Greeks and the local Anatolian powers it seems likely that some of the major figures were based on memories of real figures and we have pretty accurate reconstructions of costumes and armor and customs from the time. It's not Lord of the Rings"

"You're using this picture to argue that the Homeric epics don't accurately reflect Bronze Age armor which means I'm pretty sure you don't know that Odysseus is described as wearing a Boar's tusk helmet just like the guy in this picture"

"Let's look at the last century of Ottoman History from the Albanian perspective. 1822-1826: Ali Pasta - Auspicious Incident. End of Janissaries represent a disruption of traditional route for Albanian advancement in the Empire end of Ali Pasha and most importantly the end of the major Bektashi tekkes. The Bektashis were the only Muslims experimenting with a native Albanian literature and the purge of the Bektashism does real damage to Albanian Islam to the extent that it never totally recovers. 1878: League of Prizren. Albanian notable propose a plan for autonomy (within an Ottoman framework)"
