So Veeky Forums where and when is your comfy place and time?
Recently saw a thread about pre roman Iberia and it looked cosy as fuck.
Just imagine hanging out and fishing with your buddies and then nipping to the tavern for a night of booze and wenches as a squall rolls past.

There are still fishing villages all around the world boy.
OP of that thread here, can confirm, constant warfare aside, iberian towns were comfy as fuck.
Maximum comfy. Nice looking seaside towns with a pleasant climate and plenty of QT girls to fuck.
2016, at my island summer cabin.
Thanks man. That thread was fucking awesome.
Late medieval (15th century to be precise) Flanders/Holland. It's probably the closest you are going to get to that Witcher 3 novigrad feeling.
Having been to the Historim in Brugges that did look pretty damn comfy.
Witcher 3 is one of the prettiest game ever.
Still haven't finished it, haven't touched it in nearly 11 months actually. I quit within an hour after reaching Skellige.
I know Brussels square is chiefly Renaissance and Neo-Gothic stuff but it remains one of the most aesthetic squares in my opinion.
>tfw you will never live in Victorian times
15th century Venice or 17th century Berlin
There's thousands of towns very similar to this minus the walls in modern spain, guys. Not often on the coast though. Also a lot of them are ghost towns nowadays.
1800s New Mexico. The thought of being in a semi-isolated town separated by miles of desert doesn't sound so bad when there's the beautiful wildlife, interesting people coming in and out of town and lots of Mexican pussy.
>Also a lot of them are ghost towns nowadays.
neat
>booze and wenches
>implying they didn't have strict sexual rules
probably a Celtic village in the highlands or maybe by the sea.
Also,seeing Pic Related even once without all the fucking tourists would be more than magical.
Fin de siecle, Europe. Especially Germany.
Victorian Era
I have thought about this a little too much.
Son of Barral I of Baux,1217-1270, Lord of Baux
Viscount of Marseille, brother of Bertrand II of Baux,1244-1305, living in a lavish southern French estate and touring both Italy and France, visiting the Champagne fairs in Troyes.
If only.
I often wish I was born about 60 or so years before I was born, doing what I do now, working in electronics. Mostly because I love old electronics and I hate all this incessant connectivity we must deal with. Just have a home phone and a tv with like two channels and the radio. Where social activity takes place nearly always in person, where all you need is a brief conversation or telephone call to make plans. Any time I watch movies from before cell phones, I am envious of that life.
Le wrong generation.
The reign of Antoninus Pius was the comfiest time of world history
Song Dynasty China before worthless horsenigger trash ruined it all. :( Kaifeng had steam-powered urban heating for the winter. There are things like restaurant menus and reviews from the time still in existence. A culture too focused on art and sophistication for it's own good against Jurchens and KHAN.
Have you been to rural New Mexico today? It's exactly how you describe, except it's a dirt poor shithole. Always was, even with silver boom.

Which one user ?

>>implying anyone cared if you fucked a slave girl from a rival tribe.
I would pick Elegebalus time as emperor in Rome, simply for the fantastic orgies.
I think even a Roman town would have been pretty comfy
Victorian London for some reason.
mah nigga
stability is comfy
Being a terrace farmer must be rather interesting.
Not sure about comfyness.
What I do know is that you'd probably feel pretty safe from invaders having to waste their breath traversing mountains to conquer you.
And pic related probably used to be comfy before.
The post Black-Death Classical era.
Belle Epoque Paris.
copper age europe
Never conquered! and an amazing view!
>So Veeky Forums where and when is your comfy place and time?
Pre-WWI manor house.
Technology advanced enough that I won't die from the plague, yet oldy timey enough to be comfy.
Boring user here, I just want to not be a wagecuck and live out in peace, reading, learning new things, indulging myself in media, etc. Too bad I also don't want to be a parasite.
...
Any remote village with food, water and safety is the comfiest of all history. There is nothing to compete with it, village festivals, religious ceremonies, marrying people you grew up with, meeting strangers from distant lands who pass by. Work your farm all day and sleep with your wife after she's cooked dinner.
mostly baroque, aside from the Broodhuis and Stadhuis, but yes medieval Flanders is maximum comfy
I have a huge folder of this stuff, ranging from medieval to gothic to renaissance to baroque, if you want some of it dumped
hnnnnnnnnngggggg
Do want, if I ever make loads of cash I'll go for that decoration style.
Early life in Asia was probably pretty shit but I can't help romanticizing it, it looks so pretty.
...
...
Depends.
If you lived in Imperial Chinese village, you'll live in a cozy village with your neighbors being literally your family and will help you
Island SEA however is pretty much Asian Vikings with maritime kingdoms & raids. But that was mostly in the Philippines/Borneo. At least you get beachfront/riverside property though.
>help you find a waifu*
I mean.
Anyone got a link to this thread in an archive of some sort?
19th Century during the Great Game.
Exploring South and Central Asia while working under the British & Indian spying agencies.
Going into villages and pretending to be a Buddhist monk, Muslim holy man, or Hindu trader.
Secretly mapping all the lands I see including evaluating how an army could pass through them should the Russians ever come.

I know I'm romanticizing it but it just sounds so fun and comfy.

Read beasts men and gods by Ferdynand Ossendowski. I think you'll like it.
Being a monk should be your comfyzone.
17th century Laurentie
True freedom
Already have, one of my favorite books though it doesn't beat Kim.
15th century venice
in ancient mesopotamia, there was a span of time we know nothing about. there were no wars and no destruction, so they didnt really leave anything behind. its estimated to be between 120 and 250 years, most people guess it was 170 years. those must have been the happiest generations in all of history.
also, living in early sumeria. being part of this group doing something completely new for the first time, dividing labor and building cities. just hanging around with your bros, seeing magic everywhere, believing in so many gods every human has a personal one, listening to that beautiful as fuck language, drinking beer and taking psychodelic herbs to have prophetic dreams. those truly were the days.
Plus being a monk in medieval times, your economical ease would grant you many pussies.
The captain of a merchant ship during the mid to late 1800's.
Just sailing around the world and selling exotic goods. Back before trade became so mundane and simple.
Imagine being sent back to the time of the Akkadians, knowing what you know now.
Looking around and seeing people doing things normal people do, socialising, fishing labouring etc, yet being completley unable to really contextualise any of it historically because it's so far back.
It would either be comfy or terrifying and I'm not sure which.
The Sumerians had alcohol as well, would and sleep on their roofs in the evening underneath the stars. They had a lot figured out very early, 5000+ years ago. All beginning from mud.
Yeah the most contact you'd have with warfare would probably be some courier riding up to your village and notifying you that instead of Huyping you're now to obey the victorious Hyuping.
>there were no wars and no destruction, so they didnt really leave anything behind
???
it's actually really hard to date anything that came before it. they wrote down stuff, but since it was in clay tablets, they just used those boring tablets from 50 years ago to fix a hole in the ground or something. nothing got destroyed, no cities were burned to the ground. back then, when stuff was destroyed, they just built a completely new city on top of the ruins, that's what archaeologists find. so no finds= no ruins and no ruins= no way to map that timespan.
the best part is he barely sings the first 3 or 4 lines. i always imagined sumerian to actually be a really quick language. most of the vowels and some of the consonants just assimilate each other, so i feel like it would just roll off the tongue really easily.
>tfw you will never hear spoken sumerian
i just wish somebody who actually knows linguistics would try to work with it for a change instead of assyriologists that only know cultural studies and also have to deal with multiple other cultures apart from sumerians
Ancient Mesopotamia was the shit man.
Japan has always beem the comfiest country, and the Edo period is the comfiest period of it's history.
being a member of a guild during the late middle ages in northern Europe. Comfy medieval cities, reasonably high life standards, stability.
Would probably be pretty filthy tough
You don't want to live in a city before the modern era. Death rates from disease were astronomical. If you want comfyness, pick one of the less strict Monastic orders and a nice wealthy monastery, then get a job as a scriptor. Spend your days decorating books with well-disguised cocks while sipping wine with your monkbros.
Rural/Small Town Japanese life looks 100000x comfier than any city
I hope you like terrible weather and rampaging samurai hordes. Also, ninja.
>terrible weather
Live in PNW, love the rain
>rampaging samurai hordes
I'll find the shogun who wins
>ninja
I'm not a politically important target
If I were to consider Japan, I'd pick some cushy temple or palace job in Edo. Peasants were literally liable to being massacred or drafted into military service at a moment's notice, they had virtually no rights.
> you will never hear the breeze blow through the poplars, as you look up at the sky on a cool night
>you will never stare at tits all day in a Minoan palace
You'd get used to seeing them. But Minoa is definitely my choice for maximum comfy, I'd try to forestall the Mycenean conquest but desu I'm not sure what could be done.
As I recall from a documentary (can't remember which) some of the people in Bronze Age Crete retreated to defensive positions in the mountaineous interior. These positions could be accessed only on narrow passes, so few could defend against many.
That was much later, during the great Bronze Age Collapse, when every city on Crete and Greece was burned to the ground. The Myceneans took over the island some 200 or so years before that, and did so without destroying much.
Medieval Venice.
So comfy in fact, the Polos literally left their comfort zone to go find China or whatever.
>walking home piss drunk trying to find your house
If anything I'd like some Neo-Venezia. Born too early for that, my apologies for the not Veeky Forums related.
Any specific problem with Skellige or did it just happen so?
1960s, san francisco
Yes dude. What could be greater freedom and adventure than living the life of a coureur-des-bois in the pristine Canadian wilderness?
>oh man
>all this is mine
>i'm such a good dog
Does anyone have an archive link to the thread?
The present is quite comfy desu. But if I had to pick one far in the past I guess it's tribal Scandinavia or Germania.
Just happend, quit after that feast thingy and never bothered to start again. I recall I had some full alchemy built.

Not sure why.
Just a generic town/suburb in America somewhere in the 1980s-1990s
I imagine myself as a young teen just figuring out what I want to do in life, with a sense that there is still a lot to be mapped and discovered in this world.
When was the best time to be a white African? (Not just SA)
>tfw being a hellenic age king who was loyal and trusted Odysseus style
>sailing from one island to the other to trade and drink and party
>plowing island chicks all the goddamn time
Probably during the late-1800s to early-mid 1900s when Africa was understood enough that you wouldn't get fucked up from Malaria right away and the natives were still relatively friendly. Large areas of wild land for hunting and exploring but industry and modern comforts are available in the cities.
A man can still make himself up from nothing by staking his claim on the land. Mining gold, hunting ivory, farming the land. Rhodesia is still being built and the African Kingdoms are still alive.
The cultures are still separate enough to be unique and contrasting.
Before and after that is mostly a case of picking your poison.
