Expect to see memes about it too in other communities. This'll be the front page of most fediverse instances in some fashion for the rest of the day I imagine

If you wish to enter Hades, you know the price that must be paid.

Bacon, fresh.

Is Julian the Apostate on here? I have a soft spot for him, though he definitely wouldn't go in the top tiers. Also, did Philip the Arab make it on your list? My memory would place him as above average, though it's been awhile and I could be misremembering what all he did

JowlesMcGee,

Ah, perfect. I would agree with those rankings. I always wonder what the world would look like if Julian had ruled longer. Would he have been able to return Rome to a pre-Christian era? Or would all of his changes be undone anyway after his death regardless of how long he could stay in power.

And apologies for missing them, the image was hard to read on my phone.

I appreciate seeing Claudius pretty high up. It's been awhile since I dived into Roman history, but I remember Claudius leaving a strong impression on me. Definitely felt like he was expected to fail but then defied expectations.

He was Paul Allen in American Psycho, though I don't know how successful that was at release.

It looks like Frogwares is listed as the publisher here, so it sounds like whatever issue they had with their previous published has been resolved. I hope they got all the money they were owed

Honestly, I'd be down for that. I love dogs

From what I've seen/heard, I'd say so. I think there's one part that might be kind of challenging, but it seems pretty accessible.

To be more specific, kbin doesn't federate downvotes, or at least doesn't import downvotes from outside an instance. Not sure if it sends any downvotes generated here back out, but any downvotes you see here are from other kbin.social users

Correct. When I found out it wasn't going to be on steam, I figured I'd get a physical copy for the PS5 instead. Found out that wasn't all option either...

JowlesMcGee,

Yeah, that one has been on my radar as well! I definitely plan to check it out when it releases. Fingers crossed it actually comes out this year!

I haven't tried Warmane myself, but I definitely sympathize with wanting to just jump in every now and again. Compared to the mega servers of current wow, private servers can seem small, but I find they their player base is usually more active / engaged

This seems really fun, thanks for organizing this! I don't know if I read fast enough to fill in more than a few squares, but should be a fun challenge all the same.

Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller would fit the hard mode here, for those interested.

Won't fit the hard mode, but Charles Sheffield's Tomorrow and Tomorrow was an interesting read. The first third wasn't really my thing, but after that the book goes way far into the future.

6 Reasons So Many Movies Are Struggling At The Box Office In 2024 (screenrant.com)

With ticket sales down and newly released movies hitting streaming and video-on-demand (VOD) services in record time, it’s not surprising that films are struggling to make it big in theaters. For comparison, 2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road grossed a whopping $45 million over a non-holiday opening weekend, which ultimately led to...

Just because it's a sequel doesn't mean it's derivative. All 5 movies are directed by the same guy. I can't speak for the first 3, but if you saw the 2015 movie and couldn't tell that it was a passion project, then I don't know what to tell you. We don't call Sherlock Holmes soulless even though Doyle wrote over 50 short stories starring Holmes.

It's entirely possible for someone to be creatively invested in a world they've built and want to keep exploring it in future works.

I agree to a point, but Mad Max is an example of something original that seems to have come from a place of creativity instead of a committee and yet is still doing poorly.

So I don't think it's just that Hollywood has a tendency to do remakes instead of original stuff.

Your first clue that you were old is that you were still listening to FM radio.
