  • 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 hate that so much. "Oh, this hobby only brings you joy and happiness? Don't you know you could make money out of it?"

  • Wearing masks to hide their identities in case of capture? Am I missing something or is there a reason why their captors wouldn't just remove their masks?

    Edit : I'm dumb. It's to protect EACH OTHER's identities in case one of them is captured. My bad

  • Happened to me in real life and it really changed my perspective for some reason. I was at a bar with a group of people I recently met, and one of them asked me what I do. I sighed internally and started answering the premade answer I give everyone, explaining my job and the company I work for. He cut me off and told me "Yeah yeah that's great, but what do you DO?". I was taken aback for a second, and then I started telling him what I do for fun, what my hobbies were, etc. It really turned a boring icebreaker into a genuine conversation

  • What's a video game you were bummed about finishing, wishing the experience lasted longer?

    Jump

  • Weirdly enough : Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous. It's an absurdly long game, each run lasting for more than 75 hours, but it ends like half an hour after your unlock the last level for your characters and you basically never get to experience playing as a true late-game party. I never played the DLCs though, so maybe that's no longer true

  • The world's biggest military superpower is now apparently willing to just kidnap anyone they don't like, anywhere in the world, ignoring international law. That's so fucking terrifying that I'm at a loss for words

  • EU supports US invasion of Venezuela by claiming Maduro is an illegitimate president. Refuses to call the US invasion illegitimate.

  • That's perhaps true since the fall of the USSR, but European so-called communists definitely did not love anarchists for most of their history. Most anarchists I know are still very weary of people calling themselves communists
