It took me three weeks of hauling rocks up and down a mountainside for 16 hours a day before I developed the upper body strength to be able to swing this behemoth of a sword.
My blacksmith, Battai says he can't and doesn't want to sharpen it because "it doesn't matter for effectiveness" anyway.
He said: "This is an executioner's sword. It doesn't do so much cutting damage as it does blunt, and by blunt, I mean it separates out limbs"
The first person who tried to parry the heavy strike in PvP learned the hard way:
People with ADHD are dopamine-starved and there's been a theory that it's down due to genetic diversity in ancient human tribes:
A certain percentage of the human population would be night owls for watching the tribe at night, and later on, functioning as city guard, and the ADHD crowd?
They were the explorers and seekers, finding new routes, new trade opportunities, unhappy with sitting in one place for any extended length of time.
It only stands to reason, that in a time of turmoil or crisis, you'd have the dopamine-starved percentage of the population suddenly locked in, it's what they're meant for
I personally can, but that's because my empathetic response is unusually overblown.
My failure as a benevolent dictator would actually be becoming too detached from ordinary problems, so I'd need to have consistent town hall meetings where ordinary people could redress grievances, petition for aid and so on.
At that point it goes back to being a normal government, since the (un)elected official is trying their best to do the people's bidding while remaining accountable.
In well-established cities, over time there becomes a demand to facilitate long-distance travel throughout the entire city core, which necessitates the construction of highways. When such a thing is not possible due to the abundance of skyscrapers and other allocated lands, they repurpose or repave certain streets into parkways or "avenues".
Sometimes, no modifications are made whatsoever except for the traffic signaling system where there are discrete "blocks" of green light traffic allowing you to travel a mile in the city before you hit another red light (for instance heading north on Broadway, New York City).
Zigzagging through local streets is a surefire way to run into red lights and stop signs, reducing your "average speed" and increasing your total trip time.
What if I told you that North-South travel on a grid based city system is much faster than East-West, and although mathematically zig-zag is the shortest distance, pragmatically, the logical path is the one with the fewest turns (especially left turns) taken?
No. Hyperdimensional math is required here, I feel.

You can't parry an ultra greatsword.
Love or hate the UGS, it's a way of life
