40 years ago, EA asked, "Can a computer make you cry?" At 15:00 we ask: When was the last time a game made you cry? Tell us about games that make you sniffle and blame it on someone chopping onions! For comfort, we'll revisit the PlayTime farm. twitch.tv/streamingthepast

Another beautiful model from @princeofpersia! We are looking at a comb from the Parthian Empire (247 BC - 224 AD). Couldn't find more information about it but it's unlikely that it belonged to an acquaintance of Darius🙂I believe it is located at the Reza Abbasi Museum @aelguess

I have been enjoying @princeofpersia The Lost Crown and I found a child's toy! This reminded me of the middle Elamite toys, animals on carriages, found at Susa! I went digging a bit and the toy seems inspired by the dove found in that cache! Would love to get dev confirmation!
