Even then, "Dark Ages" is a term that exists mainly due to lack of primary sources. As for the kind of things most people think of when they think of the term "Dark Ages," that would probably only apply to the immediate aftermath of the fall of Western Rome, and only that area.

I just remember the shampoo thing from a video where a woman washed her hair like a medieval woman would, which included going through it with a fine-toothed comb about 100 times.

True. I am aware that some of the soaps/shampoos they used to wash had harsher chemicals than modern ones, which was a reason they used them less, but they also tended to cover their heads, which often kept out of their hair, so their faces likely got washed more often than their whole heads.

To be as fair as possible, they didn't wash their entire bodies every day, but hands, forearms, and faces, the places people would see every day, would absolutely be washed daily.

You gave the middle finger to a building with the name of a guy who probably doesn't even know you exist on it.
Yeah, that'll show him.
Yeah, that'll show him.

The difference being the fact that there is a script at all. With oral tradition, you have to do it all from memory of what the previous storyteller told you, and it more than likely ended up in a game of telephone where the version that got written down isn't even the original one.

And that's just what was written down. Imagine all the history and mythology that's forever lost because writing wasn't invented yet mixed with the downsides of oral tradition.

If Warner Bros hasn't been convinced to stop doing Live Service games yet, I wouldn't count on it.

I wouldn't say definitive. It's definitely great, but there are a few things that I preferred in the original. From visual effects like the beams lighting up the environments, to the original Phazon suit cutscene, to not seeing Fission Metroids in Phazon Mines.

I'm fine with them. I just find them a little tedious to fight. And the other versions making them more common brings down the experience a little bit for me.

At least I still have the NA GameCube version so I can still enjoy the original cutscene. And not have to suffer through Fission Metroids in Phazon Mines. That's nice too.

One of the few things I don't like about Prime Remastered is the Phazon Suit pose shown here is entirely removed and I have no idea why.

Never really cared for this list of "Fascist warning signs" because they're so broad that they can actually apply to several different systems of government, not just Fascism, which itself is a concept with different ideologies within itself

18M? That's...not really that high. In fact, as far as social media platforms go, that's pathetically low.

If someone's stalking them, then what's stopping said stalkers from making an alt account and following them again, assuming they haven't already?

From what I heard, the changes to the block button were because if someone had beef with you, they could block you, then talk shit about you or doxx you behind your back and you would have no idea it's happening.

If people like the site so much, why do they keep bringing up Twitter? It has the energy of someone shit-talking their ex constantly when no one even mentions them.
