    The Odyssey (2026)

    What evidence is there that the Eastern Roman Empire thought themselves Greek and not, say, Roman? They didn't use the name Byzantine; that was a later creation. At the peak of the Roman Empire, the Greek language would have still been the most common or second most common language in the...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Ah, yeah. After looking around for when the color was introduced, it looks like the Firehawk didn't come in DSOM. DSOM is Daytona Sunset Orange Metallic, which was introduced in 2001. They ran a bunch of ads with a DSOM Trans Am that year. Dodge also made a similar color and put it on the...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Is it a DSOM Firehawk? Since that is the best vehicle color ever produced, I might have to go with it, but I'm also a bit biased toward F-Bodies, as I have owned a few in the past as well. It's now a classic car with classic car prices so I guess the $28k shouldn't be surprising. While I haven't...

    The Video Thread

    Didn't even last 20min after you posted. From the comments it was a 2021 - 2026 (8th gen, mid engine) corvette on fire. One comment said the C8 has a "recall" for retards that like to top off their fuel tank and spill gas all over the fucking place when they overfill the tank, some of that...

    Fallout 5 - greenlit apparently

    Post apocalyptic is the genre, other games not in the genre cant really fill that role. It's like Tyranny is kinda one of a kind, as it's a fantasy RPG where the villain already won and the PC is part of the villain's faction (with the option to kinda be the good guy). No one else I know of has...

    Fallout 5 - greenlit apparently

    I want old school fallout 1/2 and I have played Wasteland 2/3, Underrail, ATOM rpg, Broken Roads, and the other old school Fallout type games that aren't still in EA. I didn't think any of those games were as good as Fallout 1/2, although Wasteland 2 probably came the closest. As long as...

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    Worth a try. It does form a bit of a crust and you can always use the broiler if needed for the top, but a crisp parm crust all around sounds great. As for the two Fallow recipes, yeah, the amount of butter is crazy and certainly more of a special occasion type thing as part of a large meal.

    YouTube's War on Ad Blockers

    What are you playing?

    Outside of Nintendo games in the 90s (like Zelda and Mario), I don't play Japanese games or have any nostalgia for them. Not sure if that contributed to it, but I did not really like Elden Ring either. The mage/caster gameplay sucks, as it consists of kiting shit using the same, most efficient...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Offtank? I thought Spellblade was leather, does armor not really matter that much?
