The Pre:Rec talk always amuses me.

Yes, the people who don't often play Bethesda games were not performing in New Vegas like you do with your 500 hours. Yes, the stream would frequently devolve as the retarded audience kept asking Rich and Jack about Trump or Hillary or whatever else, or would demand games they'd never heard of be played, only to... realise why they weren't playing them. So yes, gamers epically pwned never to recover- they chased their wonderful internet personalities off of Twitch because of how retarded the chat was, then wonders why Mike never showed up or even wants to interact outside of hitting "upload" once a week.

People just need to chill out and stop treating Twitch streamers as people off Chaturbate.

There were rare occasions when Mike showed up, he has even showed off his gaming chops.

Did PreRec reveal that the secret sauce is Rich AND Mike?

I think PreRec revealed that Jack just kind of sucks. He's okay when there's like three other people around and he's drinking, but when it's just him and he has some control it leads to boring/bad times.

I haven't watched any of his Escapist shit, but I'd imagine it's a similar experience, just with their shitty audience probably eating it up instead of hating it.

Jack is great at reacting. He's the best reactor to a panel's jokes but you're right, he can't create content.
 
For as good as their review of The Order was, Jack being a brick wall with Firewatch and how it fails as a game shows what happens when he's given too much control. One of the comments from that video I always remembered, it's still there:

you call yourself not a retard but really think they'll review something that isn't some blockbuster? most of their half in the bag shit for a long time is either blockbusters or trash films, The Northman doesn't fit in either category so it won't be reviewed because they can't spend 50 minutes going "this is good"

So yeah, them reviewing Northman, even if just under a "Mike And Jay Talk About" for 20 minutes is entirely on brand and the kind of shit they'd do.

It's sad to see that Mike and Jay (and definitely Rich as well) subscribe to the idea that the people in the so-called Dark Ages (a term made up by smug Enlightenment Era thinkers) were filthy peasants wearing dirty rags with terrible teeth that died at the age of 20, when all of those are patently untrue. The Norse in particular were noted for their cleanliness and grooming.
If anything, the Norseman was groundbreaking in the fact it breaks from these stereotypes. It was frustrating seeing them spend like 10 minutes nitpicking the costume design of the film based on false assumptions.
It's nice to see that their comments are full of people pointing this out so they probably are aware of their mistake now.

The Average Age Women Got Their First Period, Throughout History

If you're reading this right now, the odds are high that you got your first period in middle school — the average age of first menstruation today is 12.5. Based on my own anecdotal research, I'd say the odds are also high that if you got your first…

Girls had better nutrition in the Middle Ages than during the Renaissance.

As all ways, depends on the time, place, customs and who is writing about the people in question. The Medieval era covers a period three times longer than the Early Modern era, which itself is almost unrecognizable from Columbus to Napoleon.

Certain places would definitely have been much "filthier" than others. Lime was not ubiquitious everywhere, modern global trade was not the common thing, and a village would generally only have strong access to local goods. People in Paris in 1400 may actually have been filthy compared to a rural serf under great strife in late 700s Viking Normandy because they had access to clean, fresh water and weren't surrounded by disgusting people expelling effluent on the roads. Anyone able to keep up with Islamic hygiene rules would certainly have been far cleaner than anyone else as they ritually wash after seeing a poor person cross the road. At the same time, a Cypriot would be disgusted by the idea that you wipe with your hand (then wash the hand) rather than use a briny sponge.

At the same time, it is far easier to be clean to the point you die of seasonal diseases today than ever before, yet we still have people walking around in public without shame looking like someone from Monty Python. Most of the "the Dark Ages were filthy" ideas come from the Enlightenment, both terms being used to point out what the Early Modern writers believed to a hole of progress after the collapse of the Roman Empire. In a sense, they were right. Aquaducts, public toilets, and (in places that could have them) public baths/saunas crumbled in many places because they were capital intensive. The "regression" to Feudal and tribal organisation of society meant they couldn't be maintained properly. Anyone who lived in a city with maintained Thermae or Balnae like modern Aix-le-Bains or Bath would be unlikely to have noticed much of a difference between 50 AD and 1550 AD, but someone living in what was a relative back water like Londinium would have noticed a huge difference as bathing in the river became increasingly impossible and not solved until well into the late 1800s. The cast of Monty Python were also traveling a lot- it doesn't make that much sense for everyone at Swamp Castle to be filthy during a Baronial celebration, but it makes sense for the Anarchist Communites to be while digging their mud. There are also few opportunities to wash during a siege, where water is rationed.
