I'm watching a video about "the crown of St Wenceslas" which is from 1346 in Prague. All these comments and the guy in the video keeps saying how 'beautiful' it is and I'm just not seeing it? Ugliest thing I've ever seen in my life.
I guess it's "beautiful" that it's from 1346 and so well preserved. And naturally it's not made for the "modern eye". But... good lord. It's like someone broke a stain glass window and cleaned it up with tape.
Am I being unfair?
@futurebird one of the joys of the past is realizing that aesthetics are not objective. This crown is beautiful because it's got so many stones on it. It's so big! Look at how shiny it is. More is more.
Yeah this isn't our aesthetics, but for this guy it ruled. Heck he made the walls of the chapel he built to house his Pokemon collection, I mean, his relic collection look like gems in gold.

@futurebird it looks like it's from the 1950s, and worn by a 'space king' in a Monsterdon film.

@astory @futurebird Not sure if I should thank you or curse you but now I will forever think of catholic saints as Pokemon.
After all they all have their special "power"! -

Now I'm thinking of a game where you play saints to fight evil, each saints having its own skills, attributes and stats.
There's no way nobody ever thought of doing that. A Vatican-approved RPG. -

Wenceslas used "Dazzle"
It is not very effective.
