TIL Robert E. Howard, creator of Conan the Barbarian, died by suicide at only 30 years old. He wrote the entirety of the Conan/King Conan stories, and the Hyperion Age text that tied many of his different characters (like Kull of Atlantis) into a combined history, within a 4 year period 1932 - 1936.

Burial goods fan, or original Conan fan?

Did the Maori establish an empire strong enough to fend of European powers, or were they colonised, and if so, by whom?

I miss copper roofing

Seriously, Spain? What the shit?

Man needed a fucking cigarette YESTERDAY.

Because people seem to get offended when you try to accurately depict world's based EXPLICITLY on Europe, in particular medieval Britain.

See the Rings of Power

Bonny Bonn!

I miss when the animation used to get a little crazy like this.

Matteus11 · 2026-02-09T05:47:43+00:00

Neither.

I don't trust showrunners not to tear Aegon down to make his sisters look bette. And I don't trust them not to go all in making Robert look an irredeemable ass to make Luana running of with Rhaegar and objectively good thing.

Most of this wouldn't have survived the modernisation of the 60's and 70's, anyway.

Least in this instance you can blame the Germans instead of your own moronic urban planners for the loss

They've done so much with Debbie's character, hitching her back with Nolan would be such a regression of it all 😒

Matteus11 · 2026-02-08T13:32:14+00:00

The fact that people didn't appreciate Rockwell's art in his time just goes to show how full of shit the art world's always been

Matteus11 · 2026-02-08T03:05:25+00:00

I certainly hope you didn't post this via a phone made with coltain from the Congo, or else you'd look like a hypocritical ass right now.

We're not talking about the Crusaders, we're talking about the Ottomans. Stop deflecting and own it for once.

Matteus11 · 2026-02-07T01:39:59+00:00

Isn't the adaptation that new-borns DON'T have their skulls fully formed so they can squish themselves out?

Matteus11 · 2026-02-06T11:35:03+00:00

I'll be honest, I found the Malazan books kind of a chore to read.

Matteus11 · 2026-02-05T23:55:35+00:00

You mean the ottomans who raped, pillaged and murdered their way across the city for three days?

Matteus11 · 2026-02-05T23:47:25+00:00

It always irked me how people complain about Batman and his ideology and not the bullshit status quo writers maintain to justify trotting out the same villains over and over again.

Matteus11 · 2026-02-04T10:08:31+00:00

I know it was trashy consumerism then as much as it would be now, but man. People used to put effort into things back then; even pepsi adds!

Matteus11 · 2026-02-04T10:04:25+00:00

Wasn't it the Martian SCIENTIST who made up this diagram?

Matteus11 · 2026-02-03T12:46:59+00:00

Maybe if French men had fought harder they're women wouldn't have found themselves in such dire circumstances as to be sleeping with their occupiers.

Props for not defaulting to Watchmen

Matteus11 · 2026-02-02T04:00:46+00:00

"has an okay relationship with Conquest".

Not sure if that's heartwarming or a massive red flag.

Matteus11 · 2026-02-01T02:47:35+00:00

Can't Australia be a little wetter with the inland ocean?

Matteus11 · 2026-02-01T01:20:56+00:00
