Question of the Day!

You are given 5 hours to play a game of your choosing. In those 5 hours any money you earn will be converted into your nations currency at a 1:1 ratio. The rules are:
1. You start at 0
2. You cannot buy in game currency with real money
3. No Glitches, Cheats or Exploits of any kind

What game do you pick to get the maximum return?

I thought for a bit regarding games I've actually played and then I remembered

Disgaea.


The numbers for the currency in those games probably gets pretty high :tupac

Maybe Dokapon Kingdom, basically Mario Party, Monopoly, and Fire Emblem combined. In 5 hours, you could earn 1M to 10M gold by claiming towns early, winning big at Casino Cave, using Merchant & Alchemy to print money, taking out high-bounty enemies, or manipulating debt and the market for massive wealth.
 


Jesus Christ, my history comes mostly from Youtube videos and even I know most of what this "historian" is saying about the Roman weapons is utter nonsense.

"Roman weapons are good against armour but not as good against lightly armoured opponents." :whatisthis

Literally HOW would their weapons do WORSE when the enemy is lightly armoured? He argues their sword would get stuck in bone and such, but yet he thinks they would cut through METAL armour. If anything their weapons would do BETTER the less armoured the enemy.

It also makes no sense because MOST of what Rome would have fought against would have been lightly armoured foes. It would have been rare for them to be fighting an army as heavily armoured as them.

"Roman equipment stayed the same because they were very traditional." :tiredpepe

Uh no...just no. The Romans were one of the MOST willing ancient empires when it came to seeing that something wasn't working and changing it up, or adapting weapons and technologies they encountered elsewhere for their own use and trying to make it better. Kind of one of the big reasons they lasted so long in the first place.

"Roman Pilums worked best in open fields against armies, they'd be unlikely to hit individual targets.."

Mate they're javelins, not fucking Napoleonic era muskets. You act like the most professional army in the world at the time couldn't aim to save their lives. Forest or field, on your own or not, if a Roman sees you coming and he's still got his Pilum, there's a solid chance he'll hit you with it if you don't duck or jump to the side.

I'm with Metatron on this, I'll go with what the Romans who maintained their empire for centuries thought worked over this historian's opinion any day of the week. :jordangif

Lorica Hamata, Roman Chainmail, the longest used type of armor throughout Roman history, extending as far as Late Antiquity and the Early Byzantine Era, was copied from the Gauls who invented Chainmail. Most of the reason it was used for so long had nothing to do with "traditions", it was because it was reliable, cheaper than scale or steel and iron plates, and was just that good they did not need to spend as much time and money to equip their soldiers with higher quality armors that were much more costly, hard to fit right for every soldier, less comfortable, and took much more time to make.

Not even going to dwell too much on the asinine point of "Roman weapons were better vs armor than unarmored" since outside of the Pilum, a heavy javelin meant for greater penetration against shielded opponents and was just as likely if not more to kill a shirtless dude, none of their weapons were for penetrating armor. The Gladius was a short sword that had little chance of killing a dude in good armor and if anything needed to hit a weak spot in order to do damage. Romans, while they did fight some warriors who could be armored almost as well if not as well as them, mostly fought less well equipped armies so that whole point is fucking bullshit as they would have never conquered Gaul, Spain, and England if they were not that effective against lightly armored armies. :jameson-lol:

Daggerfall, easily. Go to the bank, take out a loan of 1.1 million gold. Leave and never come back. Optionally I can go to various cities and do the same with the banks there.

I am now sitting on millions of dollars by doing practically nothing.

Aleister getting more rep in yugioh
Of course with the ongoing Magistus manga

Me, I’m more hyped about the final Dragon Tail Monster


Oh and K9 next week
 
Standard effect when used as Fusion Material of setting Dragon Tail S/T from deck + a nice bonus of negating a monster effect

And it’s the deck’s own Blazing Cartesia too. It would have been nice if it had its own Summoning effect but still, ways to Fusion Summon during the opponents turn fits right into this theme
