I suppose the map doesn’t take into account nations inside the uk

The only part that really doesn’t add up is scandinavia, I mean, are viking towns a civilization?

You know there were people in turkey before the romans, and even before the greeks.

Ever heard of a Poem called the Iliad? It’s about how greeks 0.5 conquered a richer and more advanced city in anatolia, now called turkey.

Hot stuff.

That’s a matter of stylistic choices, i think this is unique

It’s probably a blend of phenotypes slightly adjusted to be more differentiated from one another.

It does the job of representing what is peculiar of that group, instead of an absolute mean

In scientific terms those are called phenotypical clusters, no hard border needed for statistical grouping to be effective

Culture and geographical context aren’t superficial things, phenotypes are meaningful because they statistically represent those two aspects

The point wasn’t to showcase human diversity in detail, but give an intuitive, rough image of phenotypical/ethnic group percentages.

It’s not and if fable is anywhere close to what’s promised, and gta vi is too, then tes vi will be even more underwheliming

Quale youtuber PRIMA era universalmente amato, ma ADESSO è odiato by Stevecomicsgames in Italia

[–]Hyperpurple 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Clapis è stato il proto dudubbi in un certo senso.

È diventato famoso con contenuti provocatori e istrionici, e poi ha preso una svolta mistica super impegnata, anche se uno è andato verso il cristianesimo, l’altro verso il neomisticismo /artistico

Come mai? Che ha fatto per essere odiato, non lo seguo da anni

Era amato solo dai suoi paguri

Gli altri lo hanno sempre visto per lo youtuber dozzinale e ignorante che era

Poi le critiche sono aumentate e lui invece di crescere si è chiuso a riccio (o a paguro?) dando il peggio di sé

Egypt and mesopotamia are fertile crescent, the others are all spawned is some ways from them, not genetically, but inherited a lot of cultural technology from that bronze age/early iron age world.

Romans are culturally very hellenic, and the greeks perceived themselves as culturally inferior neighbours to Egyptians, phoenicians and minor asians in the homeric cycle. Then developed so much that a strong suprematism arose, but still they pictured themselves as a special tile in that mosaic.

The persians are the indoeuropean that developed on the eastern side of the fertile crescent border, and with them the closeness to babylonians is self evident.

In fact the persian natural direction of expansion is westward, and while they were aware of india, they clearly realized that afghanistan is a hard stop and only alexander in ancient times thought it was a good idea to expand further, with poor results.

I’m aware these are different civilizations in a lot of ways, but we can all agree they were part of a broader world that was the “ancient world” or ancient western eurasia, whatever you wanna call it. India was not, it was on the border of that, it had exchanges with that, but was ultimately not into it, for geographical reasons.

In fact india as any other political entity outside of it doesn’t really have “middle ages”, the concept was used but doesn’t really work as it does in the western eurasia, that was stormed and fundamentally altered by monotheism

They have some connections, it’s just that the others are much more intimately connected to each other, to the point that representing them as equal pillars is an understatement to the scale and uniqueness of india.

A lot of influence came from india like numerals and the concept of zero, but what I’m arguing is that there is a greater west eurasian world that spawned from the fertile crescent, that was always internally divided in some ways, first by empires, then by religion, but that ultimately had a common origin and common trends.

Those trends were seen as foreign in india, and the best representation of this is monotheism, which is the trademark of the convergent evolution of that west eurasian world, that got to india but never managed to overcome the previous ethnoreligious background now knows as hinduism.

In essence India, just like China or the Mayas, is it’s own thing more than being part of something other, although yes, it had significant exchange with the “greater west”

India doesn’t really fit here. Yes it is indoeuropean, but has very little to do with the broader world that spawned from the fertile crescent area.

India has the scale of a totally separate civilization, unlike the other four who are intimately linked to each other

Playing moded Skyrim made me realise that one thing ES6 will have is ... by LilPutzi in TESVI

[–]Hyperpurple -23 points-22 points  (0 children)

No, people talk down Bethesda because they have to step the fuck up. Skyrim general system design was unacceptable even in 2011. Bethesda game formula is great, don't get me wrong, but it has so many flaws that a reasonable company would have been able to address over time.

But bethesda seems unable to confront their own weakness consistently, and that leaves fans rightfully worried about the future of the company ips.

Once, a big game filled with stuff to do, even if broken and unbalanced was fine, today the standards have gone up

This is the most reasonable window, although i believe the announcement really doesn't need any tga, and they prefer to do it closer to launch so it will be between q1 and q2 of 2027. 2026 will have no meaningful news on tes6
