People have always had a lack of creativity.

When the Greeks were settling around the Mediterranean they founded many ‘New Cities’, (Neapolis). One remained a ‘new city’ for long enough for the name to evolve to Naples.

The Phoenicians did the same, in their language ‘New City’ was Qart Hadasht, we now call it Carthage. One of the Carthages in what is now Spain was conquered by Rome and to differentiate it from the Capital of the Carthaginians they called it Carthago Nova, essentially New New City.

There’s something beautiful about ancient cities being named “new city”

Retro arch/ any emulator is great for this. I can waste an hour on 1st gen Pokémon on short downtimes. And when im stuck in layover or on the train, I can crank out half the story of chrono trigger.

Uhhh, buddy? Most of those were Europeans born in “city name” who moved and founded “new city name” because they were born in “city name.” This is a you thing.

This reminds me of having a palm pilot as a teenager. It played mp3s, and had pdfs, but otherwise you could only take notes and fiddle with settings. I read all of the origonal halo books off of it.

I’m jealous of Grandpa if he gets to shoot that and I don’t.

I mean, it’s a bunch of immigrants naming things after their home. Or it’s a bunch colonists claiming things… For their home.
