But if you survived the rewards were amazing, hence why so many were eager to go for it.

It started with the Romans and continued in later eras.

The mural crown became an ancient Roman military decoration. The corona muralis (Latin for “walled crown") was a golden crown, or a circle of gold intended to resemble a battlement, bestowed upon the soldier who first climbed the wall of a besieged city or fortress to successfully place the standard (flag) of the attacking army upon it.[3][4] The Roman mural crown was made of gold, and decorated with turrets,[5] as is the heraldic version. As it was among the highest order of military decorations, it was not awarded to a claimant until after a strict investigation.[6] The rostrata mural crown, composed of the rostra indicative of captured ships, was assigned as naval prize to the first in a boarding party, similar to the naval crown.

China is definitely pushing on renewables and battery tech, and that’s good.

It must be said it’s not purely done out of concern for the planet, there’s lots of strategic thinking about it regarding energy independence given that China imports a lot of oil.

That’s what I find infuriating. The green transition is underway despite the opposition of many in various governments. Imagine what could be done with some real political will behind it

The first 2/3 episodes of Black Lagoon. There’s something cathartic about the idea of leaving everything and becoming a pirate in the south China Sea.

Or Beck, yeah, love that one. Frieren too.

The human whose name is written in this note shall die become a lesbian.

Light Yagami.

Because he is, in fact, quite dumb.

I have a character that’s about to meet Malenia, and I’m kinda scared

Cyberpunk 2077 and Palworld. I haven’t really gotten into new games since Elden Ring, but those two seem like good candidates.

Man I really need to finish a playthrough sooner or later

Classic

Yes, it’s those two.

As for the new Gate, I don’t know anything about it.

Both of my suggestions have warfare mixed with fantasy, but you could try them to see if they scratch your itch.

Drifters: famous warriors get isekai’d to a fantasy war and start waging a war on behalf of the subjugated elf population.

Gate: a portal opens up in Tokyo and fantasy creatures try to invade Japan, only to find themselves against a modern day army.

Bonus suggestion: Full Metal Panic. Mecha battles against terrorist organisations. The first season is a mix of serious and funny, following ones are more serious in tone. FMP Fumoffu is a spinoff with just the funny stuff. One of my all time favorites.

I watched it on a whim because the premise sounded ridiculous, and it is. But it’s also awesome.

Putting together wholesome girl friendships and vicious tank battles shouldn’t work, but somehow it does.

Italy became a country only in 1861, so it was a bit late to the game.

It did, however have some colonies later on.

During the fascist dictatorship it tried to get some more and did an impressive bad job at it.

Amphetamines used to be sold as a diet product
