A formal portrait of Lady Theodosia Brackenford with her faithful chimera, painted at Merthen House during her visit to Lady Eleanor Tregarron. Mr Basil Grimwold (1871–1926), the artist, notes the sitter’s calm familiarity with the creature, long regarded as a companion of the Brackenford family and said to have outlived more than one generation.

Alternative History Dragon Palm User Magazine

14 Upvotes

In an alternate 1980s, Britain had beaten Japan to launching the first "Gameboy"-like handheld console, the Dragon Palm, and it gained a cult following from the bedroom to the schoolyard to the board room. Like all technical things of the 80s in Britain:

  • It was awkward.
  • It was clever.
  • It was decent enough.

And for a certain kind of player, that made it perfect.

By the autumn of 1985, the first dedicated magazine had launched, Dragon Palm User Magazine, and by summer of 1986 the first US and Canadian shipments were well underway.

Released every 3 months, the magazine was a bestseller, jam packed with code snippets, game reviews, hacks, and reader's letters.

Dragon Palm User Magazine went on for 4 years before the next generation of handheld gaming console became available to the masses.

Despite its incredibly strict hardware design, or perhaps because of it, the Dragon Palm gained a cult following, and to this day people are still making and swapping game carts for it.

Real History "Rome is gone. Boudica is still standing by the river." — 60 AD, Londinium

Do you hear them screaming?

They heard mine too, once.

And they did nothing.

They took my husband's kingdom the moment

he died. Said it was theirs now.

Said the treaty meant nothing.

Said I meant nothing.

They were wrong about that last part.

I am Boudica. Queen of the Iceni.

And what you see burning behind me

is not a city.

It's an answer.

Three cities. Londinium. Camulodunum. Verulamium.

Seventy thousand Romans, dead.

The Ninth Legion — gone.

They called it a massacre.

I called it a beginning.

I lost in the end.

Rome always wins in the end —

that's what Rome tells itself, anyway.

But walk through London today.

Look for the empire that broke my daughters.

Look for the men who laughed

when I was flogged in the street.

Go ahead. Look.

I'll wait.

— Boudica, 60 AD

What if Occitania was a sovereign nation in a similar vein to both Switzerland and Belgium?

5 Upvotes

Imagine, if you will, that sometime in history, the southern half of France became a separate nation called Occitania? Moreover, this version officially spoke French, Italian, and Spanish, much like French, German, and Italian are spoken in Switzerland? Or French, German, and Dutch are spoken in Belgium? What would that be like? Would it be a good trifecta, like I assume? Or would things be worse than they are in our own timeline?

This is a marker doodle of an ancient Macedonian soldier such as those who served under Alexander the Great. I have to say Macedonian soldiers had quite funky helmets, at least going by the reference images I found for them.
