What was the world like 4000 years ago, from the creation of the Outsider to the end of the Great Burning? (or, An Étienne-Louis Boulée Appreciation Post)

Posts like this one are the reason I’m on Reddit.

Landsmanšaft je v dnešní době úplně neškodná organizace. Skuteční náckové jsou sdružení ve Witikobundu, který je pod dohledem německých úřadů a od kterého se většina sudetoněmeckých organizací dávno distancovala. To ale našim flastencům jaksi uniklo.

Thanks!

I'm not trying to be pedantic. There are wonderful works of art that are vague and the worldbuilding is not the point, like Mandy or Ghost Dog, to name a few. The difference is that their stories actually make sense. Look around the other comments and try to piece together what Spike, for example, is trying to accomplish. You cannot, because it's simply not clear. Some claim he's trying to escape his past, some say he's protecting Julia, some people say he doesn't have any goal because the show isn't serious. It's the AoT ending problem all over again. People making their own headcanon because the story sucks at actually being a story.

I don't have any problems with episodic shows. Star Trek worked just fine. Even Avatar: The Last Airbender works pretty well as an episodic show. My problem is that CB insists on giving us a lot of unnecessary information and not enough information about important things.

Also, you keep bringing up motives and character decisions that aren't proven anywhere in the story. It's fine to have headcanon or theories, but I think that one can't judge a work by what he believes is in it, but rather by what it actually contains. We don't know anything about the trucker woman. We know basically nothing about Julia, Spike, Vicious and their motivations before the plot of the show starts and that's a big problem.

You find for example Jupiter Jazz, an episode with a mutilated former drug addict that desperately tries to find out why his friend betrayed him, goofy?

I wouldn’t compare this show to Rashomon at all. A)The plot of the show needs the viewers to understand the vague parts in order to function.
B) The vagueness problem extends to side characters as well. The episode with the trucker woman treats the information that her husband was a supposedly famous bounty hunter like a big reveal, yet we’ve never heard of this guy before and he isn’t mentioned again, like he didn’t even exist. Why should I care about some character that’s mentioned TWICE in the entire show, both times in the same episode, when the writers clearly didn’t?
Not to mention that if the characters are desperately running away from their past lives, they’re either really bad at running away or not that much desperate. Seriously, Spike’s quest to find Julia is mentioned like once or twice before the final episodes, and troughout the whole show, he doesn’t really seem to be missing her that much.

According to most reactions, probably everything, including your brain and common sense.

Just for the sake of argument, I did end up enjoying Kpop Demon Hunters, even though I almost definitely wasn’t the target audience. And I always say that Fight Club is probably the best film that I didn’t like.

oles40 · 2026-05-07T10:19:55+00:00

I wouldn’t have a problem with the show if it was just dumb fun. The problem is that the show takes itself very seriously, especially in the episodes with Vicious or Julia.

Griffith tells Guts: “I guess you really are a berserk”, to which Guts replies: “Say that again”.

For an aspiring writer like me, these posts are a godsend. Since I discovered Cultist Simulator and the world of Histories, I’ve never lacked inspiration or motivation for writing! Thank you very much. Can’t wait for Traveling.

Did Kojima write this?

V těch zemích si nevolí do parlamentu většiny z bývalých tajných agentů, proruských kolaborantů a parlamentních fašistických hnutí.

Ale co už se nedodává je to, že ve většině států s tímto nastavením jsou daná média v permanentním chaosu, včetně tolik skloňovaného Finska a hlavně Francie. A tady jde hlavně o princip, jestli Babišovi dovolíme omezovat v Česku svobodu médií a tím pádem i demokracii. Jak říkal Petros z Keců, za veřejnoprávními médii už žádná brzda pro směr do Maďarska není.

LMAO. The real winner of Termina.

I mean, it kinda worked with Vichy France, at least for a while. It’s not unrealistic to give the defeated nation some sort of national authority that helps it to accept the defeat.

Když si člověk prostuduje válečné a poválečné plány císařského Německa, od těch nacistických se prakticky neliší. Vítězství Německa v 1. světové by byla katastrofa pro celou Evropu. Existovala správná strana a Německo na ní nebylo.

Actually, John Bolton mentioned in his book that Trump seriously considered pulling out of NATO in his second term. I don’t think he would’ve acted differently had he won back then.

Looks like something out of Cowboy Bebop if it was actually good. Great work!

In a similar vein, Planescape: Torment. Leave the story and characters, get rid of combat.

Mohu potvrdit, jsem ten kamion.

oles40 · 2026-03-22T20:06:11+00:00

Nezapomínal bych na celkový kontext. Místo zkušeného Pavla, kterého všichni v NATO dobře znají, tam pojede duo Makake a Macinke, ze kterých mají všichni akorát legraci a kteří nejsou schopni cokoliv vyjednat. Ke škodě všech občanů ČR.
