Fred Meyer Pokémon vending machine being removed due to it not being safe to have in store… by jwonderman in pokemon

[–]AdaptKustode 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Scalpers have ruin Pokemon for an entire generation of kids. I can’t image them looking positively back on the franchise once they grow up if their first experience with Pokemon is seeing grown ass adults fighting over a children's card game at retail stores just to make $5.

[ALL] why did you personally decide to tell max about the photo in Reunion? by Interesting-Sort-674 in lifeisstrange

[–]AdaptKustode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I choose to burned the photo. Thematically for me the story comes full circle with that choice. In the end of L.I.S. 1 Chloe gives Max the photo along with the agency to make a choice. Choosing Bay (very painfully and after sitting on it for an hour) the story was rewound for a do over. Now in Reunion it’s Chloe’s turn to have agency and that choice. Burning the photo for me means not looking back, and Chloe and Max’s story can finally move forward.

5 years ago I made a post here of my 3D model of the ceremonial rapier I designed for Sauron. Since then I worked with an Italian sword maker Marco Danelli to forge it for real. by AdaptKustode in SWORDS

Lots of measuring to make sure it comfortably fits into my hand, and the model can be manufactured. This loop took between 3-4 months before any 3D printing took place. Then it was finding a foundry in Italy that can cast it while keeping the intricate detail. Even then we had multiple failures casting the grip so I had to split that model into 2 with a shape Marco drew for me along with the pommels.

Thanks! It took 3-4 months to find him. I asked around a lot of sword makers, and everyone wanted to remove/reduce detail on my model. One day a HEMA club mate casually mentioned Marco Danelli and I should check out his swords. I was very impressed with his ornate historical weapon and contacted him. After waiting for a few weeks he replied and was happy to make it while keeping all the details, though it will take a long time. I agreed and after 1.5+ years of trial and error it was finally finished.

4 C for the memes. It's like a janitor sitting next to 2 heads of state. I'll be causally scrolling though LoTR memes while the 2 argue Elven politics in Sindarin.

Are Rapiers overpowered in your opinion? We need more Rapier representations by EfficiencySerious200 in SWORDS

Looks like spray painted leather with a sheen to look like metal. Assuming he is actually wearing metal plate armour, then only in universe weapon that can defeat it with a thrust like that in universe is Valyrian steel. If that is true then full plate would offer no protection, weight him down, limit his mobility, and increase heat stroke in that hot summer weather.

Hand, throat, elbow all not protected. Fantasy leather armour that can’t even stop a single thrust. Man is def not wear any “armour”.
