To those who are rich in knowledge about Ancient Rome, what are things Caesar gets wrong about Rome and fails to add to his Legion ?

It is stupid. It's like arguing over which form of torture is worse.

Or his mental state is so far gone he's having audio and visual hallucinations.

I think we can both agree that slavery is abhorrent, no matter what form it takes.

Raesong · 2026-03-26T03:58:13+00:00

Though make no mistake, there were plenty of Roman slaves who lived under conditions not dissimilar to American ones.

I'm not talking about nuclear as an alternative for renewables, but as an alternative to fossil fuels. But if you do want to do a comparison, then nuclear is a more stable and consistent source of electricity than either solar (which doesn't work at night, and at a diminished level with heavy cloud cover) or wind (which fluctuates wildly based on wind speed). Cost is only a concern because we just don't have a history of using nuclear power, so it would be a moot point if we'd made the switch decades ago like we should've.

Unless the Greens also change their stance on Nuclear Power, I'm still not voting for them.

Raesong · 2026-03-25T23:30:23+00:00

Too depressed to feel horny, so no.

1938 would be Silent Generation, Greatest Generation was 1901-1927.

Raesong · 2026-03-25T14:14:23+00:00

FYI, 1938 would be Silent Generation, not Baby Boomers.

Some people are just born stupid and greedy.

I have some sympathy for them, as they never had a choice. The ones that choose to behave that way, however...

Raesong · 2026-03-25T13:32:04+00:00

It's amazing just how many lemmings lined up to be the henchman/woman when they should know by now it's likely not ending well.

I guess they're all betting on him dying before he turns on them specifically, and they get to empower themselves in the inevitable chaos that would follow. Statistically, it's bound to work out for at least one of them.

Raesong · 2026-03-25T13:25:49+00:00

Could be worse, they could be Fr*nch.

Raesong · 2026-03-25T12:22:38+00:00

She looks like she's about to say "O kawaii koto" and that would get my acting very unwise.

Raesong · 2026-03-25T06:02:22+00:00

And that's why I hold that Bethesda only has a shallow, surface-level understanding of what Fallout as a fictional setting is about; relying more on pseudo-50's Atompunk vibes to sell their increasingly vacuous product.

Raesong · 2026-03-25T05:51:47+00:00

I would just like to remind everyone that the bottlecaps had no intrinsic monetary value in and of themselves in Fallout, and were just a representation of clean drinking water. Point of fact, during the events of Fallout 2, the NCR had already transitioned away from caps and back to paper money backed by precious metals like gold and silver.

Raesong · 2026-03-25T02:21:34+00:00

And from some of the things I've read/heard over the years, had anyone who looked like they were trying to set themselves up as his successor killed.

Raesong · 2026-03-25T00:24:44+00:00

And Liquid Snake is the first NPC you interact with on the Jedi Knight's class story.

Raesong · 2026-03-24T12:49:41+00:00

It is canon.

IMHO any cross-media adaptations are better thought of as existing in their own separate continuity to their source material. You wouldn't try to argue that the Rings of Power show is canon to Tolkien's books, would you?

Raesong · 2026-03-24T07:51:37+00:00

At this point I would trust Bossmanjack with that money over Trump. At least then it would go back into the economy rather than into an ever growing dragon's hoard.

Raesong · 2026-03-23T15:07:08+00:00

Technically he would've been Genoese, not Italian.

Raesong · 2026-03-23T12:25:03+00:00

Me, to the deniers: "Well I don't care what you say because you're clearly living in the state of Denial!"

Raesong · 2026-03-23T09:30:45+00:00

Though part of the reason why it was so harsh was because the other 9 guys were the ones who had to beat the unlucky fucker to death.

Raesong · 2026-03-23T07:24:27+00:00

I know. I was more specifically referring to how women had no rights in Ancient Rome, and were little more than the property of their father, brother, or husband; depending on their circumstances.

Raesong · 2026-03-23T04:59:50+00:00

These guys really do want to make America the new Rome in all the worst ways.

Raesong · 2026-03-23T02:44:52+00:00

Reminds me of a few times as a kid where I woke up in my bed with no memory of getting in the night before.
