"The Romans conquered the world through seriousness, discipline, organisation, continuity of vision and method; through the conviction that they were a superior race, born to command; through the well-considered, methodically calculated use of the most ruthless cruelty, cold perfidy and the most hypocritical propaganda, employed simultaneously or in turn; by an unshakeable resolution to always sacrifice everything to prestige, without ever being sensitive either to peril, or to pity, or to any human respect; by the art of decomposing under terror the very soul of their adversaries, or of putting them to sleep with hope, before enslaving them with arms; finally by such skilful handling of the crudest lie that they have deceived even posterity and are still deceiving us. "
Simone Weil, in "Some reflections on the origins of Hitlerism". @history
"Life expectancy at birth in Roman Egypt was just 27.3 for women and 26.2 for men."
"As the empire expanded, the Romans took the show—including all their diseases—on the road. In every location, “The empire’s arrival led to the hasty construction of the first town, in Roman style, with baths and aqueducts, drains, heating systems, and latrines. Despite the amenities, a reasonable answer to the question ‘What have the Romans ever done for us?’ might have been ‘Got us sick.’ Mortality rates went up.”
@Shanoa Our favorite way to see Zelda take a stock :)
Also, nice mod! I generally preferred the appearance of characters in #SSB4. At least Sheik and Zelda (not Ganondorf though). And Smash 4's graphics in general looked better imo.
I was playing Ultimate on Yuzu with a friend earlier and whoa, 120FPS LDN with the latency slider for a connection within the city felt like offline. Finally considering playing more online when I could get really good sessions like that.
@skitty I'd be down to for sure, feel free to hit me up whenever 🙏🏻
Oh yeah, I've heard of people setting up Ryujinx LDN like this, but I didn't get to look into it much so I have no idea how it compares lol.
Main reason I'm glad this is possible on Yuzu now though is for the native Gamecube controller support, I don't have to mess around with settings to get my inputs feeling accurate.
@golemwire From what I've heard this might not be of much concern for the established events and organisations, but I'm really hoping this doesn't kill grassroots events as we know it 😔
Dauber liest Jugendwort-Top-Ten: Digga, goofy und Side Eye
Es hat Tradition, dass tagesschau-Sprecherin Susanne Daubner die Topauswahl zum "Jugendwort des Jahres" aufsagt. Auch dieses Jahr präsentiert sie wieder die Auswahl. Am 22. Oktober steht das Siegerwort fest.
@tagesschau
Was hier unter den jüngeren Kollegen im Moment in ist, ist "wdp" (was dein Plan).
Ich dann immer, "du und dein dünnes Gelaber" die ersten paar Mal hab ich nur Unverständnis geerntet, bis einer fragte wie ich das meine.
Na was wohl. "Wdp", was dein Problem? :awesome:
@Hyper For sure, I personally don't get nervous too knowing my opponents are likely far more nervous to fight me if I manage to put up a fight when they're projected to win. 💀
Ah that's great to hear then, I often do the same lol
Word to the wise: Never play a game you love with a #nerd. They will have optimized the game to the point that all of your favorite characters and strategies are complete garbage, and the only way to win is to break your thumbs on the controller, or prevent your opponent from playing at all. Fun was never an option.
