This morning I ended up falling down a youtube rabbit hole indulging in the little boy’s fantasy of arms and armor.
The first was in the classic youtube format of a nerd geeking out in front of a camera. The info was great, I found the conversation about swords where the sharpened edge on the inside curve very interesting. But ultimately it was a monologue with a few video accents.
The second was a bit more polished production about armor and weaponry. This must have involved a team, not only did it involve an archer and medieval armor, it also included a visit to the range with modern body armor.
And of course both were totally free, after a pre-roll advertisement. Shadiversity is clearly a personal project, nicely done, but not super polished, but I’m scratching my head what is the business model for the Modern History.
I most likely shouldn’t ask too many questions and just enjoy it.
