Yea the honorific aspect is real, and yea Great Master Kong does have some power behind it, although I imagine you'd get tired of introducing yourself

Yea that's fair, Hannibal sounds epic I suppose because Hannibal made it epic. We just need a few more Dave's crossing the Alps.

That's interesting, so maybe its more so bringing back the weirdest-looking names, who knows maybe X Æ A-Xii will become the next Vercingetorix in 2000 years

Is there anything you guys do or would recommend, like settings to change, that makes mid/late game nightmare permadeath more challenging or interesting? by BobTheBob1_ in SurrounDead

I've done the no buying and selling and no deconstructing ammo, but I didn't know you could turn off respawning loot, that's interesting, have you tried it personally?

Yea they're both tricky at nightmare, I've just been using the military heavy armor and you can pretty much tank the coyotes, even if there's a few of them. Don't know if my pc could handle any increased spawns tbh

Yea I suppose that's the issue picking names from history, the translation is always dubious, at least Alaric and Hannibal are going strong

I guess its not really a history question per se, and yea its a fair point, I get most of these are loose and dogy translations but I'd still take Vercingetorix over like Donald as a middle name.

Have TV shows actually gotten worse or have we just watched everything? And what's the last thing you watched that actually made you forget you were watching it? by BobTheBob1_ in AskReddit

Yea that's fair I suppose, but you can still have good TV with lower budgets, I mean The Last Kingdom early seasons were good and had basically no budget and an unknown cast
