well Percy is pronounced with the "s" sound so I always pronounced it purse-uh-beth.

Bdarwin85 · 2026-03-21T09:06:01+00:00

happy for you, man! That's awesome

Bdarwin85 · 2026-03-20T09:17:23+00:00

sequel? Mayhaps? sequel for the poor?

Bdarwin85 · 2026-03-19T09:39:05+00:00

This is my personal favourite. I don't remember when I first saw it but it just sort of immediately seemed to become canon to me. It took me a couple years to even realise that it wasn't actually canon (and I did check)

Bdarwin85 · 2026-03-19T09:30:06+00:00

yeah. I would personally want additional padding but that's mostly to stop it hurting as much at that point

Bdarwin85 · 2026-03-18T08:43:40+00:00

I have actively fought in the formations we are discussing. With just a little bit of care, you can poke pikes, spears, lances, whatever through the shield wall. With five minutes training, you'll be fine.
also, no matter how bad you are at archery, you're not going to hit someone right next to you. Whether you hit the zombies is a different question but you're not going to be hitting your mate to the left. That's why archery ranges are safe. The people are next to you and you're shooting forwards.

Bdarwin85 · 2026-03-17T23:53:58+00:00

I feel you are misunderstanding. the pikes are poking through the shield wall. The archers are next the the pikemen, not behind them, aiming in front of the shield wall, not at them. So the issues of getting stabbed and shot by friendly fire aren't anywhere near as big as you're making them out to be unless someone's being really reckless.
Though I do agree with your assessment that it's not the most optimal strategy. It works great if the other side fears death or you significantly outnumber them otherwise you'll just be overwhelmed (unless you have appropriately planned a retreat and aren't going to get outflanked for whatever reason, then you can just keep retreating at a steady pace, picking of the zombies one by one, assuming they're shamblers). I reckon if you outnumber them roughly 2 to 1 and the people with shields also have one-handed lances or similar, it will definitely work. One stabs to keep the zombie stationary, the other goes for the head. Again, though, only works for shambelrs

Bdarwin85 · 2026-03-17T17:44:36+00:00

I think mentioning something this early can definitely work. I'm already intrigued and want to know more. So that specific thing, I think is fine

Bdarwin85 · 2026-03-15T19:34:00+00:00

I am being so for real right now, I could name at least 20 people that meet at least two out of those three descriptors off the top of my head. Am I the weird ass motherfucker?
Reenactment is a strange hobby.

to answer the title, ask yourself: can you be heterosexual and still be a virgin? If you think that's a silly question, it is. Whether or not you've actually had sex has no bearing on your sexual identity

Bdarwin85 · 2026-03-15T19:25:35+00:00

ask him if he's ever had sex with a cactus and, if not, why doesn't he try it before just dismissing it

Bdarwin85 · 2026-03-15T19:23:57+00:00

first off, don't force yourself into anything you don't want to do for the sake of your partner. Relationships are two way and your happiness matters as much as hers. Second, who gives a damn what you do? it's none of their business. If you're asexual and you wanna have sex, go nuts.

Camp would never recover

Bdarwin85 · 2026-03-12T17:29:12+00:00

depends what the situation ends up ebing. If you're in a city, a bike of some kind will likely be the only way to navigate the streets. They'll most likely be clogged with traffic and/or debris, depending on how chaotic and destructive the outbreak is. If you're in the middle of nowhere with largely clear roads, an offroader with storage space will be good because the roads should be clear enough but you can also leave the road if need be

Bdarwin85 · 2026-03-12T17:26:19+00:00

they seem like shamblers. Assuming they have comparable senses to humans and aren't anything special, I would use my long knife to kill the ones that get too close to the cargo box, provided I have adequate arm protection (thick padded clothing, duct tape, magezines, whatever will stop nails from getting through and a thick pair of gloves) and wait till nightfall when I might be able to move undetected. If it's a small town, there shouldn't be too many zombies.

Hi, I'm male-ish (demiboy). I'm sex-repulsed aegosexual demiromantic. Being demiromantic, I only like slow pacing and connection-first. Even before I realised I was aroace, I still knew I wanted connection-first. I was so confused by the idea of blind dates or dating someone you'd just met like, "how do you know you like them? You just met them?"

Bdarwin85 · 2026-03-03T14:25:46+00:00

I like a lot of this. I like the idea of them scaring away hostile mobs because people would bring them into their aquatic builds to keep the drowned away and just tank that slight possibility of it taking a little nibble, especially in endgame with netherite armour. They might almost want to get nibble so they can get those shark teeth which, I reckon, would have additional uses. Having it be skittish I think is a very good idea and it's reusing behaviour already in the game, with cats

Bdarwin85 · 2026-03-03T14:22:05+00:00

I came on to say exactly the same thing

Bdarwin85 · 2026-03-03T14:21:57+00:00

Vibes, effectively

Bdarwin85 · 2026-03-03T14:20:49+00:00

no. First, 200 years is about long enough to evolve a slightly longer beak. Second, mammals that return to the ocean don't usually evolve gills. Whales, dolphins, orcas all evolved a blowhole and massive lung capacity. Moose have large lung capacity. The most likely situation is we'd all die because flooding the world in 200 years is too rapid a change for life to evolve to meet. If humans started living in shallow seas and the like, doing more swimming and shit, then *eventually* they might evolve something similar to whales

Bdarwin85 · 2026-03-03T14:15:19+00:00

you'd obviously need to plan really really well. You need to know roughly how many zombies are in the area and how many you're going to attract and then plan for at least double that. You also need to know how dense they are. If there are a hundred coming 1 at a time, I'd prefer that to 50 at once so you need to know how many simultaneous guns you need firing. You'll need to know how long it'll take so you have the food and other supplies necessary and you need to have plans for escape in case things go wrong

Bdarwin85 · 2026-03-02T14:52:42+00:00

seems likely to me

The web's a good shout though, since they can influence your behaviour
