Looking at your list, I think you would enjoy Horizon Zero Dawn and the sequel Horizon Forbidden West. Both are available on PS5 and on Steam for PC gaming. Single player, open world and with a little bit of politics in the sequel.

Xbox 360 was Microsoft magnum opus. Still have mine and it works perfectly fine

I shat the bed last night listening to this

Would recommend to you sir Constantine Porphyrogenitus and his World by Toynbee

And so he effectively turned the court into a chuck e cheese! This is why I'm here

dude got lost in the first level of Halo 3 lmao

Thersites x Ace Combat crossover is crazy, I'm surprised anyone other than myself even knows of it's existence. It is my favorite video game franchise.

crazy saying H3 was D. Literally soo fun

It is a testament to the work done in Mass Effect 1 (in terms of worldbuilding, story, and characters) that Bioware could fuck up so much in Mass Effect 2 and people still hold it up as the best game of the series.

Where is hell ? :D i have 2 go to work but ill make sure to check the video when i finish today. Greetings from Europe

wym youve never heard of flavius julius salinator

Temujin

Jean Lannes is a S tier marshal

Minneapolis, MN has a series of streets from A-Z that are almost all named after a Union general in the Civil War

Thersites, there's been more than a year since you did a live on Ukraine. What would you say about assembling the Team and do this?

Ironically, in today's world, some people DO describe Claudius as "Legit" to describe his competence, as an Emperor. I'm sure we're all in agreement that, that's what really mattered in the end.

In defense of Nero and his targeting "Christians", we have a singular view on the title of "Christian," but all that really means is "followers of A Messiah" and at the time there was a Judas the Crestioni (not sure the spelling, Latin is not forté), who was basically 1st Bin Lahdin. So it would like post 9 eleven, and some tiny group saying "no we're the good jihadists"

one surprising element is that as byzantium reconquered more land in 10th and 11th centuries naturally more themes came into existence and you would expect that the "safe themes" ie those bordered by other themes and not external threats would be army/manpower pool for emperors/unsafe themes to pull from to keep expanding and snowball even further. Instead this is the time of theme decline to the point where the empire disintegrates under seljuk pressure maybe if they went further with thematic autonomy and maybe became elective monarchy where strategoi would be the electors it would have been more stable, I don't know where to pinpoint the problem, definitely self-preservation was not working well for themes

hella hellas

The segment on Firestone was great lol

It's called entertainment it's no different than professional wrestling. Do you get mad at Hulk Hogan for being Hulk Hogan ? Graham Hancock is a entertaining writer and podcast guest and there is nothing wrong with that

Hi, I'll try to go over the whole thing (probably not in one go as it is very long, I'm not sure why Thersites seem to have run around a bit in both ROTK and the sources based around San Guo Zhi (there are also other more serious sources, but San Guo Zhi is the official one) , obviously reading this without knowing Chinese is hard. Also that because Official Chinese history are usually in the format of individual biographies, a lot of them you need to cross match to really figure out what happened (or even some individuals' achievements is more obvious when you read about their friend and foe's biography. Most notably, if you just look at the biography of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, it didn't seem that impressive, but the problem is there were numerous other biographies where people were losing their shit when talking about these two bros (and these were men that both served with and against them.), such as the Cao Cao strategies Chen Yu calling these two "One man armies" even before the battle of Guan Du and a decade plus later Zhou Yu, at the peak of his power after Red Cliff, told Sun Quan to use every trick in the book to kidnap Liu Bei so they can control these two "man that's like bear and tiger" Liu Bei: it should be noted that in the early period of Liu Bei (after the Dong Zhou era, and even a bit before that.) Liu Bei was effectively more like a subordinate of Gongsun Zan, that's how he got to run Ping Yuan, though obviously with a decent amount of autonomy, the context of the post Dong Zhou alliance is that there's a general Yuan Brother civil war, where one side was Yuan Shao + Cao Cao (who at this point was also more like a subordinate of Yuan Shao.) vs Yuan Shu (who was also employing Sun Ce) and GongSun Zan (With Liu Bei under him.). Liu Bei ran off to Xu Zhou and effectively became independent, and obviously also since Cao Cao grew stronger the alliance between him and Yuan was fraying, and Lu Bu made a huge mess of things so it became a free for all. Liu Bei was probably more deserving of credit in the victory in Han Zhong, the defeat in Yi Ling was a bit problematic, as the reason why Wu won had a lot to do with again, the naval forces, and Liu Bei lost all his naval forces with Guan Yu, also his foe basically won every fight he was involved in where he can use his navy against even greater foes, the Cao Pi part if real, the jokes on him since he spent his few years on the throne running his head into the Wu navy wall with multiple major defeat as well. Liu Bei's personal conduct seems far more defensible than that of Sun Quan certainly (especially when Sun became Liu Bei's age later on.) and didn't have some of the dubious things with other people's widow like Cao, let alone the story of murdering someone's whole family out of suspicion. Zhang Fei: the part of him being rich seems to be more ROTK stuff, though generally he fits a very obvious stereotype of men in Chinese history (especially those from his area of China. ) being "dog butchers" (one of Liu Bang's closest companion was also described like that.) Using other sources such as the Wu Chronicle (wrote by someone who served as a officer in the late Wu ) during the post Red Cliff campaign, where it took Zhou Yu a year + to capture serious territories from the retreating Cao forces (and he got wounded in the process that eventually killed him.) one of the major reason why he won that campaign was that Liu Bei borrowed him Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, and they ran a guerrilla campaign in Jing Zhou and ruined the Cao force's logistics line. Guan Yu: He didn't kill Hua Zhong, that was ROTK (and the gate is Hu Lao in ROTK, which didn't exist during that time.), he also didn't kill Wen Chou, but obviously he did kill Yian Liang in the most impressive way (basically just waltz into a huge army and took his head.) Guan Yu was fighting the Wei around XiangYian / FanCheng before the final campaign, if we look at some of the people involved there, like the Wei general Lei Jing, it seems that Guan Yu was doing pretty well, also, if you look at relative resource, that he was winning his final campaign was just amazing (he probably had 1/4th the Wei army facing him.) Mi Zhu: no, Liu Chang's mother was not his sister, that's ROTK, his San Guo Zhi said that he basically never lead forces or really ran government, but yes he was given the highest title after Liu Bei went into Sichuan. Liu Feng: it's probable that Liu Bei had sons that died somewhere along the line, given that Liu Chang was still a baby when the events happened ( when Liu Bei was already there for many years) given that in history we really didn't hear about Ms. Mi after the events of Xu Shou in history, it's probable that most of Liu Bei's wife / kids died during the ordeal between Xu Zhou until he settled in Jin Zhou.

You mean between the black sea and the Caspian sea

Menas seems to swap sides even more. Sextus to octavian to sextus to octavian and back. WTF.

The Venetians mentioned the A/S Orthodox communities living in the Crimea during the 14th Century and yes, the Ottomans were a continuous threat followed by the Mongols. A new breed then later emerged half Turk(Ottoman) half Mongol, the present day term is Tatar (Muslims). Russia tried to expel them which culminated in the Crimean War of the 1850's when Britain and France sided with the Turks. Modern Crusaders in other words coming again to make War on the Orthodox Christians.

The reason for the Anglo's going to Byzantium was Religious. As was the 1066 invasion. Roman Catholic V. Orthodox.

The A/S Varangians did have another home to go to. That was the Crimea.

The Montreux Convention, finally something I know about that Derrek and Sean don’t

Didn’t know Thresites was a romantic 32:08

Caepio sounds like some Shit Genes, Patrician or Not.

If only we all had the friends and loyalty that Thomas the Slav amassed around him

Heraclius and Martina: the John and Yoko of the Byzantine world

Julian is special to me for reason I can't quite put my finger on... But after Julian died, I stopped listening to Mike Duncan's "History of Rome". I guess cause it starting to become the History of Byzantium. Which is still very awesome, but it's not for me.

TURKIC TRIBES 😄😄😄😄😄

Thousands of women and children were murdered in the Massacre of the Latins. Venice's mistake was not... dealing with the whole male population of Greece.

I don't think he was beheaded. If I remember correctly he was pounded to death in a giant mortar and pestle...😬

Why is he talking about Carbon 12 ratios in relation to 40 million year old formations?

Nice to hear Arthur Currie mentioned. According to the Canadian Encyclopedia, David Lloyd George believed Currie was one of the ablest generals of WWI and considered appointing him commander of all British forces.

Your an idiot
