It’s a reference to the book Hyperion by Dan Simmons, but now I’ve just learned that a recent videogame apparently has references to it

Well, I had no idea this existed until reading your post, so my first guess would be lack of / bad marketing

Yep, same. I had money saved up since the announcement to buy the controller when it launches, but this is seriously making me consider just buying and Xbox controller instead

I mean it all depends on your point of reference. If you’re trying to teach about the solar system and the heliocentric model then yeah, the sun is stationary since

Sorry, I was just answering your question and honestly didn’t mean it to sound agressive. English isn’t my native language so apologies if that came across as mean spirited, that wasn’t my intention

Yes, it’s a mainstream center-left newspaper in the UK, definitely not fringe or a tabloid

I think a big part of his story is that his mother wasn’t fucked actually

Youtube is honestly driving me nuts with its automatic titles translation. If I’m going to watch an hour-long video essay in english, I’m also capable of reading a two-word title in the same language, thank you very much. It feels kind of insulting to be honest

Wait, what?

The issue to me is that the discounts aren’t even that interesting. I would love to get back into CK3 to see how it evolved since launch, but even during a big sale buying a few of the most impactful DLCs would cost me as much as a brand new game.

Except butter

That’s interesting. Do you manage to land those hits consistently once the element of surprise is gone? I also practice historical fencing (but I mostly do arming sword and langes messer, though I’ve occasionally dabbled with rapier), and my experience has been that taller people usually have the reach advantage.

Ducking and thrusting straight ahead of you makes basic geometry work in your favour for compensating the reach disadvantage (your arm has a 90° angle giving you maximum range), but it also massively exposes your head of your first hit doesn’t land, and prevents you from using footwork for a few seconds. Once your opponent’s has figured out your strategy it would seem like he would just have to stay a bit out of reach and counter-attack/riposte while you recover from your ducking

I would hoard hobbyist supplies and then never use them

I love how overexplained this wrong answer is

They’re both inside me at the same time?

Or at least he would have made it less convenient to touch with your hands, like placing it in the middle of your back or something

Same, my first reflex was to quickly search for NATO

I hate that so much. “Oh, this hobby only brings you joy and happiness? Don’t you know you could make money out of it?”
